I thought it was pretty good..one of the better zombie movies I've seen in a while.

It's not bad, other than trying to portray the UN in a favorable light.

The zombies are fast, not slow like most.

Great movie, but not enough zombie killing. The book is always better.

Watched it last night. Well worth it.

If you read the book and expect the movie to tell the story of the book - you will be disappointed (the book is a collection of stories, the movie follows one storyline)

If you have not read the book and are going in expecting a good zombie movie - you will be very pleased.

For a movie it ain't bad. If you have read the book it is an  abomination.

Very good movie.  If you've read the book,  try to imagine the movie with another tiltle.  You'll like it a lot better.

I agree. Not too bad, just not great.

I agree. It should have just been called "Brad Pitt, Zombie Basher".
Very little similarity to the book, but a good zombie action flick.

Good movie, I believe it just made it to Netflix as well.

I liked it.  Think more I am Legend than Walking Dead.

I really liked it, those "zombies" were too fast though , I don't see how humans could ever win that war if it didn't end the way it did.

As you're watching it, it's "meh." Then, as you think about it more and more, it sucks.

I liked it. I was worried it would be all CGI zombies like I Am Legend, but I was pleasantly surprised for the most part.

Netflix has both the rated and unrated versions up simultaneously. I've never seen them do that with a movie before.

Zombie cream pies in the unrated version?

Seems I heard they got Max Brooks' permission to do it, then told him to piss off while they made the rest of the movie. Saw an interview one time of him talking about it and he didn't sound very happy with how it all went down.

I'd do the same thing to that AR-bashing bitch.

So...it's like comparing the book "Starship Troopers" to the totally unrelated movie with the same name?

Max was kind of pissed, they pretty much made their own movie and threw the title of his best-seller book on it.

Max Brooks: "Dad, they put my name on a movie that is NOTHING like my book."

Mel Brooks: "Did they put your name on the check?"

Max Brooks: "Yeah."

Mel Brooks: "So why are you upset?"

If you are a Zombie fan it's worth watching at least once.

Not that great.
If you have 2 hours to kill go for it.

I would agree.  It's an okay movie to watch, but it's even more scientifically implausible than the average zombie movie.



I would Fo.  Better than watching the evening news.

They've done it with a few others, I just can't think of which films.

And the unrated WWZ is better.

Good movie, but this is the 2010's.... we have CGI, script supervisors and all sorts of stuff. How f*cking hard is it, really, to make sure that the C-130 you're depicting doesn't magically turn into a RUSSIAN AN-12 AND BACK??

Jesus, guys....

I'm a huge fan of the genre. Zombie fiction from time to time, the films, the TV series TWD, etc. Even the graphic novels on occasion.

I own a DVD of every decent zombie film ever made.

I do not own a DVD copy of WWZ.

The book was amazing. The film, with it's "gazelle like" jumping zombies, the snapping turtle zombies, and the absolute waste of the perfect opportunity to make a world class zombie film, all add up to no good.

I watched it yesterday on Netflix - I thought it sucked.

I thought it was awesome, but I do not recall the zombies actually eating anyone. They just seem to bite, infect and then move on.
