I loved the movie ..but i also Love Romero's Dawn Of The Dawn , and to be honest - both are total different films - the only simliar points are the title , the mall ,and the phrase " when there is no room in Hell , the Dead will walk the Earth " - everything thing else is not a carbon copy that you would see in a standard remake ( case in point the remake of Psycho ) Charaters , plot twist ( i was waiting for the Cycle Gang to bust into the mall ) - hey even the Zombies were different - less like Frat Boys the morning after their first time on spring break , and more like really , really pissed off Homeless people on crack ...btw if you ask me - their was not enough blood and gore - i cant wait for an unrated director's cut on DVD - also i loved the ending ( i guess its some sort of unwritten law that Zombie films can not end on a high note , and this one was pretty crappy ..once again my cup of tea ;) ) also about the ending - very much a tribute to Cannibal Holocaust and Blair Witch Project ( filmed with a shakey hand held cam ) then Romero's vision of the Apocalypse .

Re: THUMBS UP ON NEW DAWN/DEAD, for sure!!!!
 

ughhh i wanna see it so bad

also - did anyone notice Tom Savini's cameo ? ( check out his web site - he goes on its chat room alot it seems http://www.savini.com/ ) and my vote for " straving actor " goes to the guy who was the lead in max headroom ...good god :eek: somebody give max a big mac or something - he looks like he was about to keel over and die ( and this was before they pull all that make up on him )

i'll give my thumbs up (or down) once I see it. Right now I'm waiting too see if it's worth it! as most remakes suck ass!

I am an avid lover of the original Romero movies but I have to say that this one was one of the best zombie movies. There was more (case in point) horror! Terror lied in every corner and there was less time for your heart to recoup when there was another twist. I loved some characters and hated others. Most were developed perfectly not giving you too much but giving you enough to care and still wonder where these people came from.

walking out of the theater I talked to a few old school fans and talked to them about it and they all say it was by far better than the original. But i stick with the notion that they are 2 very different movies. My final verdict

New school kicked Old School in the nuts,
especially the zombies they were stronger and more driven not the techno dancing ones.

Puls I liked how they had Peter from the original say the ever famous phrase "When theres no more room in Hell the dead will walk the Earth" and of course Savinis cameo was great.

PS: I felt bad for Andy

I just got back from seeing it for the second time........I just can't tell you enough how good it is. Steve had some good one liners, but I believe CJ was my fav. I also felt bad for Andy......he was cool.

You need to see this movie.

it dont come out over here in australia for ages... so i will have to wait, looks pretty cool although it'll have to work pretty hard to beat the first...

Anyone else notice Kevin's speech about wy they came to the mall? verbatem from the original


"Some kind of instinct. Memory, of what they used to do. This was an important place in their lives. "

yeah there were a few phrases like that. and its kenneth lol.

yup
