Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Sexylocher Masterful Movie

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Patrick Nackaert Looking for an average zombie movie? You'll be pleasantly surprised. The movie has a few interesting aspects. Acting is reasonably good - thanks to the talented cast. The scenery is authentic and realistic. The film is well-written, resulting in a decent number of story lines. Many scenes are inventive and nice to look at.Because the film takes place a long time after the zombie outbreak, the most annoying zombie movie mistake is avoided: people acting in the movie have never seen a zombie movie. Usually it takes half a film for the characters to realise there is an outbreak. Not of all that in this one.The story in two sentences: a businessman built a safe city after a zombie apocalypse. However, zombies become intelligent and this starts to threaten the city. One big minus: the uncountable number of inconsistencies. Why do you put loud headphones on when you're waiting for someone in Zombieland? Why do zombies play tuba? Why do people shoot in the air with limited bullets? Why don't you cut someone's leg/arm when it's infected? And I still don't get the walkie-talkie system where you don't have to choose who you're calling. On top of it all, a soldier going to the ground infested with zombies, when he could have stayed safely in his tower. That's where it got painfully hilarious.An above-average zombie movie - if you're not too much bothered by inconsistencies.

skybrick736 After producing a highly successful trilogy and the most notorious zombie films, Romero launched his 4th film Land of the Dead, putting him in a pressure situation to pull off another classic. Even though it's respectable of Romero to make each film unique and sort of evolve through each stage of film-making, it seems he lost a bit of touch when creating Land of the Dead. The zombie's make-up, walking motions and the traditional ghoulish completeness was missing or not executed to Romero's standard. Furthermore, the special effects seemed to be too modern and had less attention to detail in death scenes. There is one really cool scene that sticks out when two zombies rip a hand apart but that's about all that's memorable.With all that being said, it's not to say Land of the Dead was completely lousy since his characters and storyline maintained my viewing interest. Dennis Hopper, Simon Baker, Asia Argento and John Luguizamo were all excellent, as well as the supporting cast members like Robert Joy and Joanne Boland. The most important thing when watching this movie is to expect a quality or traditional nature of Romero's previous three films, he always seems to throw some curve balls. If that's done as a viewer, perhaps some enjoyment can be found when checking out Land of the Dead.

SnoopyStyle It's some time after the zombie apocalypse. Riley Denbo (Simon Baker) leads an well-armed group fighting the zombies. He designed the massive armor vehicle Dead Reckoning to use against the dead defending the city of Pittsburgh. He notices that some of the zombies exhibit some thought. Cholo DeMora (John Leguizamo) is the more rough member of the team. It turns out that it's the last mission for both of them. The zombies led by thinking zombie Big Daddy (Eugene Clark) approach the city ruled by Paul Kaufman (Dennis Hopper). The city is divided into a ruling elite and the poor suffering masses. Cholo is rejected from living in the high class Fiddler's Green and Kaufman tries to kill him to clean up any loose ends. Cholo leads a revolt stealing Dead Reckoning. Kaufman tasks Riley to get Dead Reckoning back from Cholo.There are some interesting new ideas being used in this film like using fireworks to distract the zombies and that some zombies are beginning to think. Romero has added to his zombie vision. However it doesn't make this a good B-movie. I don't mind the economic disparity theme but it's not very skillfully done. It has some bits of good ideas but it's not pull together into a good vision. I compare this to 'Dawn of the Dead' which came out close together. Zack Snyder (with a somewhat higher budget) is able to bring more excitement and better style to his Romero remake. It's a different level of directing skills.

wes-connors The dead run amok during the opening credits for filmmaker George Romero's fourth flesh-eating zombie adventure. That was some time ago. Today, the city of Pittsburg is practically crawling with hungry zombies. The rich and privileged are safe and secure in a luxurious area known as "Fiddler's Green". It is surrounded by water and electrified fencing. From there, workers are sent out for supplies - like cigars, antibiotics and fine wine. Blond hero Simon Baker (as Riley Denbo) and his "Dead Reckoning" vehicle lead the group. They work for wickedly powerful Dennis Hopper (as Paul Kaufman). Working for Mr. Baker are disfigured sure-shot Robert Joy (as Charlie Houk) and ex-hooker Asia Argento (as Slack). Baker has saved both their lives. The more self-centered and muscle-showing John Leguizamo (as Cholo DeMora) gets the better part, and walks off with the film..."Land of the Dead" is gory, but not scary; nothing approaches what happened in the basement during "Night of the Living Dead" (1968). Newer zombies are more cuddly. We aren't told what makes them tick. Because there are so many, we assume most of them only like to take only one bite of a victim; most of the walking dead appear relatively whole. The story is, however, interesting in other ways. The dead have begun to think, to reason. They play musical instruments and show emotions. Some appear to be in relationships. The sympathetic zombie leader, gas station attendant Eugene Clark (as Big Daddy), is someone you admire. In the past, Mr. Romero has denied racial subtext in his work - perhaps it's class he's addressing - whatever, the socio-economical slant strengthens the story. Humor is also used well, and the crew's hard work is clearly evident.****** Land of the Dead (6/18/05) George A. Romero ~ Simon Baker, John Leguizamo, Dennis Hopper, Robert Joy
