World War Z (2013)

I had high expectations going in to this one. I’m a huge zombie fan, I read the book, and I knew they had a massive budget to work with. First off, the movie shares very little with the novel. I think they just wanted to use the title. The book wasn’t that great, so I had no qualms about a new storyline.

What did really bother me were the zombies. It’s like they took the infected from 28 Days Later, fed them crack, and then CGI’d the crap out of them. Apparently dying also gives them superhuman abilities. It was borderline ridiculous, and didn’t feel like a zombie movie at all. The story was ho hum and lacked any emotional depth. A very average zombie movie that should have been awesome.
