StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Bumpy Chip It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Eric Stevenson For Comedy Month, I wanted to watch this movie because a friend of mine said it was his favorite comedy. The weird thing is that while this definitely made me laugh a lot, it didn't seem like it was entirely a comedy. There honestly were a lot of dramatic moments in this and they were done very well. I can't really say it works better as a drama because it's certainly hilarious. I was impressed at how there were literally dozens of pop culture references in this. I might have to see this movie again just to get all of them. Well, it's about this guy who, after breaking up his girlfriend, slowly realizes that zombies are taking over the town. They don't have as good chemistry as in "Deadpool 2", but it's still very fun to watch. I love how he keeps telling people not to use the word "zombie". We seem to get some of our best material at the very end and beginning. It's a film that really does make you want to look around and notice everything. I personally find "Zombieland" to be better, but this is great too. ***1/2
invisibleunicornninja This movie is pretty good. Its consistently funny, the cinematography is fantastic, the characters are entertaining, and the story is clever. The only thing that's holding this movie back is that at points it gets pretty boring in between jokes. Other than that (which is to be fair a pretty small complaint as during the bits where nothing is happening there is a lot of amazing camerawork) I would definitely recommend this movie.
Pjtaylor-96-138044 'Shaun Of The Dead (2004)' is so beautifully layered and brilliantly constructed that it's easily one of the most rewatchable films of all time. Each new viewing yielding new rewards, in the form of clever nuggets of world-building and jokes so subtle they had gone unnoticed before. It's also easily one of the funniest flicks I've ever seen, along with its two ice-cream flavoured spiritual sequels, while also being one of the smartest and most cinematic, to boot. The energetic editing is so distinct and confident that it can almost tell the story on its own, and the masterful screenplay pulls all the right strings in all the right places to play its audience like a fiddle. It will have them rolling on the floor one moment before wiping away a genuine tear the next. The piece does all of this while perfectly parodying a played-out genre and feeling effortlessly fresh at the same time; an entirely unique piece of filmmaking that owes a debt to many films of the past but repays it in full just by being so utterly great. 9/10
MichaelMRamey I absolutely love the Cornetto Trilogy and Shaun Of The Dead is on the top of that trilogy. I remember seeing ads for it and thought the film would be a bad spoof film along the lines of Disaster Movie. This quickly became one of my favourite films and arguably the best in the zombie genre. It also introduced to Edgar Wright who I think is a brilliant filmmaker. I know it may be a "trilogy" but I hope Pegg, Frost and Wright have more films in them.
