I feel your pain. I almost jumped out of my seat in enjoyment until I saw it wasn't him.

Don't you think we would have all known ahead of time if Bruce was in this?

As for the mall being the only safe way, I disagree. They never thoroughly checked back the way Sarah Polley's character came from (after she totals her car). They know the road ahead is choked with zombies, but not necessarily the road back. Also, they give no justification as to why the mall would be any safer than going back.

Another thing I didn't like was how Rhame's brother was never mentioned again after they ask him to stay.

About the redhead getting a pass because she's hot, I can't get on board with that. To me, in a survival situation, smarts takes over looks anyday. You can even be stupid as long as you're not dangerously stupid. What she did for the dog put herself and eventually everyone in jeopardy.

And since someone brought up the music, I thought it was atrocious. Completely typical horror movie fare, complete with fake outs and stings. Poorly done.

Again, I must reiterate that even with all these complaints, I still enjoyed the film quite a bit.

there is a reason why she crashed her car. The road was gone as there was zombies on it. They cut out a little snippet in that scene. After anna looks into the bus she then see's a nude female zombie shambling along before the bus driver attempts to car jack her. You can assume that it isn't a safe way to go through, especially without a car.

Rhames brother was presumed dead. what else did you want them to mention about him?

I agree with you on that, but having the Johnny Cash song in the begining kicked so much a**.

I liked the movie a lot as a horror film. I disliked it as a member of the Romero Franchise(if you can count it as that).
I have to admit as well, i like my zombies slow moving falling apart pieces of flesh.
But some of the zombies in Re-Animator were somewhat quickmoving(But do most people consider Re-Animator a zombie flick, or a Frankenstein story like Gordon and Yuzna has refered to it as).

In the version I saw, even though the bus was hijacked, I didn't find it clear that going further down that road might not be safe.

As for the brother, it was the main drive of Rhame's character. Then, after one scene, he never even mentions him again? I think this just indicative of the lack of character development all around.


Yeah, the Johnny Cash song rocked my world. But then again, Johnny Cash in almost any context rocks my world.

I never considered the zombies in Re-Animator to be the focus of the story. The real story was the conflict between Herbert West and the older doctor. I think that film put int adequate reason for its zombies moving the way they did. And by the end you knew they weren't being 100% serious.

I found it to be an enjoyable thrill ride. Interesting characters and running zombies made for a good mix. These zombies seemed a lot more dangerous and scarier than the original's versions. I did have a problem with . Also, . I don't blame Mekhi Phifer. I blame the script. The end credits are kind of a downer and inconclusive. I'll assume the . Other than that, it was pretty cool. Kenneth, Michael,and CJ were my favorite characters. When . That's how involved I got with these people. Loved the music and the red color of the credits. Grade: B

for the end credits (please put it in spoiler tags) does everything occur after about a couple of seconds in to the credits or do we have to stick around the entire credit sequence for a payoff.

Enjoyed this a lot. Better IMO than 28 Days Later which I didn't like much at all. Course considering the differences in budget that might explain some things for me.

Missed the classic "Brainsssss" or chowing down on innards though. Coulda used more guts.

For a zombie movie for me: 8/10.

I played hookie from work to see it this afternoon and I have to tell you I really had a good time. I am a member of the slow zombie tribe, but I knew that it could still be a tense and fun flick if handled right. Certainly DOtD78 had this one beat in terms of character development, dialogue, score, and intellectual social comentary, but DOtD04 is a popcorn movie and doesn't pretend otherwise. The blood was spraying and the teeth were gnashing. As far as the music... besides the great opening Cash tune, Richard Cheese's version of Down with the Sickness was a great choice, but the rest was a predictably bland McSoundtrack™.

I give it four out of five brainsplattering headshots.

I couldn't agree with you more...A solid, entertaining flick.

Well without a car and just one shot gun, I sure wouldn't be sticking to the main roads where it's fairly clear that you have cars zooming by and zombies in the masses running by you.

Besides that, the mall was right above them

This isn't really true. There is about a minute more of "narrative," if you will, and then it's just a...

Good. I saw this with my dad (Who saw the original during it's theatrical run) but isn't a fan a of staying around through the credits, so I had to leave with him. I thought I would've missed something big, but that doesn't appear to be the case.

I'm with all of you guys who had a good time with this remake.

Well if you did leave before the side end story.. you sorta did miss something big as it leaves a big question mark on what exactly happens to the characters.

Sheeit. Well, looks like I'm gonna have to go back because I want to see it for myself.

Hey, that scene towards the end when they're all in the elevator, CJ says "I like this song". I didn't catch what song was playing because there was bit of laughter from the crowd due to the previous scene. Any idea what song it was?

It was just elevator music. Could be a real song, but I don't think it is.

I saw it today and thought it was okay. A lot of it seemed very corny and formulaic, but it had enough shining moments to keep it fresh. I was disappointed in the amount of gore though. Many were hyping how gory it was, but there wasn't anything that really made me go "yuck".

Edit: One more thing. Was it just me or was there a couple seconds of the Paris Hilton sex video in the handheld camera footage during the credits? I could've sworn I saw two people going at it filmed in "nightvision" mode.

Roger Ebert's 3-Star Review (he gave the original a full 4 stars.

This quote from the review sums up my thoughts on the movie perfectly:Good flick.

I think it was "All out of Love" or some other Air Supply song.

If nobody else says by then, I'll tell you tomorrow after I see it again.

Yeah I saw that right when I was getting up to leave and suddenly saw boobies on the screen. "Hell-0!" But then I found out it was what's-his-name's home movies. That's when we just left.

i just got back from seeing it. people laughed when that happened.
oh and for the end credits, if you've watched the show the Shield, it runs kind of like that. I noticed that they changed the song at the begining. in the 8 min version that was played on usa network, the song was island in the sun by weezer, now its something else.

the only noticible cutting from the mpaa could have been

As was mentioned earlier, you should have stuck around.

I noticed the song change at the beginning as well. Though the first 8 minutes shown on U.S.A seemed to be the same one that the folks at the comic con a month ago saw. This was before song copyrights were recieved.

Which is odd since in the test screening in feb they had the song on the radio that is in the final cut, but they replaced a jazz sounding "my heart will go on" with "don't worry, be happy" when they first get in the mall.

I have to admit i really liked this one....i dont usually go for zombie movies, and really couldnt stand 28 days later, but this new version had me on the edge of the seat several times. Very cool and scary flick!
