Unless it's one of those screenings where they ask how the audience liked the movie so the producers can make changes.

Re: Warm bodies

I really liked this movie. The possibilities of them stinking up adapting the book were plentiful, but they really pulled it off. The cast was fantastic, the script was smart but not overly so, and I really found myself caring about the story and the characters.

The only issue I had was that they were a bit literal and loud with their musical choices, but I can forgive that considering how much I liked the movie as a whole.

Saw it today. Really liked it. Actually amazed the concept could be pulled off so well.

For this movie, advance free screenings have been going on since mid December in major cities throughout the nation. Although I didn't go to that one, I did go to one earlier this week and thought the movie was okay.

Re: Warm bodies

It's that time already?

But yeah as for the movie, I thought a lot of his narration was corny as hell. The friend of the girl with the music was a funny moment though. A lot of the "getting to know you" stuff was okay, but the third act wasn't too bad.

Re: Warm bodies

Enjoyed it more than I thought I would, I usually am not really drawn to Zombie movies.

Spoiler:
Play dead. GROOOOOOOAAAAN. Too. Much.

Speaking of stinking up...

I don't know if this has ever been brought up in any walking dead/zombie flicks (I've seen all the original Romero "_____ of the Dead" movies and a few others), I have yet to see it mentioned that zombies ought to smell to high heaven. I mean, really, with bodies dead for days, weeks, months, even years... all that rotting flesh... one would think the stench of them would have people retching so violently they couldn't defend themselves... or passing out.

At the very least, the smell should prevent a zombie from catching anyone by surprise.

The closest thing I've ever seen that dealt with the issue of smell and the undead (and this wasn't a zombie) took place in the TV movie Night Stalker when a character tells Kolchack that the vampire had really bad breath.

Congrats on the engagement.

I think she may like it. Despite all the zombies, it's not squarely a horror movie. It crosses genres left and right.

There is some blood, but not a lot at all. Unless she is totally & squeamish, she should be ok.

Re: Warm bodies

Saw it. Liked it overall, and was pleasantly surprised to find it was more of a zombie movie than a love story. I hope there is an unrated version of this floating around somewhere, I would be interested to see it with a bit more of a gore factor.

Re: Warm bodies

Grooooooan. Played very flat to me. Malkovich, wasted. Not that I'm looking for scientific accuracy in a zombie film, but...

Spoiler:
When the undead have finally given up their last bit of humanity to become bonies, why do they then become super athletic (lacking any muscle), along with regaining critical thinking skills? It seems the bonies had a committee meeting regarding the human and zombie couple upsetting the "establishment", so thus organized a directed strike against them. Further, non-bonie zombies have internal thinking ability but just can't help the fact that they need to eat, yet Franco's freshly zombied dad went full on 28-days-later rage. Bleh, internal logic shifted way too much for me to enjoy it (sad trombone)

Re: Warm bodies

This was a fun movie. The wife and I did a double date with another couple, after it ended, the only way i could describe it was, "Optomists need a zombie movie too!"

Finished the day off with a real zombie apocalypse (Walking Deads return). So a good day for zombies all around.

We liked it a lot, too. Fun and had some laughs.
