Dawn of the Dead (2004)

[cantnokdahustle]

jesus fucking christ, how much can someone shit on a classic?
worst fucking movie i have seen since....no.....worst piece of shit, completely different, and whats greater is that, 28 days later paid homage to the dead series, and a year after its U.S. release the dawn of the dead remake rips off the film that its predecessor essentialy created.
THE CRITICS ARE FUCKING NUTS!

I disagree...this movie was sick. And I wouldnt really call it a remake...it was alot different. This was a re-envisioning. I loved how they had Johnny Cash playing in the beggining. There were a few things I didnt like about it but overall it was a fun moviegoing experience.

[Justin_stacy]

utter crap.....first movie in years that i've actually wanted to walk out of......

[itsallcalypso]

I thought it was a great movie. It obviously wasn't as smart as the original was, but it was an extremely fun movie. The music played throughout it, the action, and especially the ending made it one of the best horror movies I've seen in years. And yes, I did like it better than 28 Days Later which I thought was extremely overrated.

[FarPastGone]

I thought it was pretty good, it was actually pretty humurous in parts, I wasn't disappointed at all.

[SonnyPunk]

I didnt expect it to be groundbreaking or anything...of course not. But it was a cool movie...the end was good. I was kind of caught off guard with the whole sequence after the credits, i missed some of it. Can anyone explain exactly what happened?

They all died......meaning, thankfully, there won't be a sequel...

[FarPastGone]

Or there will be a sequal of how the surviving peopel in the world cure the problem, or maybe they jumped on the boat and sailed off; because didn't they just show the camera drop and not anyone dieing really?

[Coronary Parasite]

as a zombie movie- 10. as a plot lines go-probably a 2.

i didn't go for an intelligent movie i just went for blood shed so i was happy with it.

it did aggrivate me that they decided to "remake" dawn of the dead which based itself in pointing out the obsession with massconsumerism and didn't even touch on any type of social commentary. the ending pissed me off aswell. it was funny to see an entire audience stand up when the credits started and then sit back down after 30 seconds to see the rest though.

i think they should of just made a zombie movie and called it by a new name.

(28 days later-583485983748957345x better)

[StoopitGril12]

I thought the movie was good...it wasnt GREAT..but atleast I got my moneys worth...hehe and I admit I screamed a couple of times...I loved the beginning and the whole ending during the credits...there was also a couple of funny parts...the part with Rosie O Donnell and Jay Leno was funny...The part with the baby was super stupid...haha and best part was Keven Zegers<=hottie!

[Kif]

I'm not old enough to see it yet :( but I want to see it badly to see if it does rip off the original and/or 28 Days Later

[Coronary Parasite]

[Lueda Alia]

I liked the baby part, it was really gross and it reminded me of Dead Alive, without the comic affect obviously.

[Coronary Parasite]

oh my god the bay in dead alive..wow..i didn't even think about that...

[Justin_stacy]

I liked the baby part, it was really gross and it reminded me of Dead Alive, without the comic affect obviously.

you know theres a "baby" scene in the original, that has been edited out of all but the German versions of the movie...

[Coronary Parasite]

you know theres a "baby" scene in the original, that has been edited out of all but the German versions of the movie...
really? i didn't see that

[itsallcalypso]

I knew that there was an original that's like 20 minutes longer than the one that I have on DVD, but I didn't know there was a baby scene. I want to see the extra parts though.

[xemonite]

me and my friend saw that movie, I did not like that much since it was not as good as the originall.

[Justin_stacy]

ya theres a 94 minute R version, a 126 minute american version (the version i think you have), a 139 minute director cut (the best in america), a 115 minute Argento version (all the humor is cut out) and a 150 (i think) minute german version that has everything that was shot.....and the baby scene is quite different from the remake, from what i hear (because i can't find the german cut in america to view) theres is a zombie walking around dragging a fetus that is "moving" which catches the attention of the four in the mall....

[xThursdayxPTWx]

i'm suprised maddox gave the movie such a good review. I mean i liked it and all but it really wasn't anything ground breaking for horror movies, especially considering it was a remake.But yea, Maddox rules but his recent stuff hasn't been very, how do i say this, funny?

[jgirv17]

It was entertaining...although not the best movie I've ever seen. My personal favorite part was when those two cars (the only two cars on the entire road other than Ana's car) still managed to rail into each other, then into a gas station, blowing up. Or how one propane tank equaled a massive explosion that didn't affect the tricked out buses.

haha i noticed the bus thing too..it was so cool but then i thought "wait wouldn't they die too?"

and i didn't see cj duck before it blew either...

[Hilikus]

This movie is just so awsome. I didnt even have nightmares which surprised me because im not usually one to enjoy scary movies.

[Lets Deja Vu]

eh original was better. They let hollywood execpt this movie. I mean how can every single bullet you shoot be a headshot? They havnt even shot a gun before, I mean come on

[DonnieDarko]

I shot skeet the first time i ever shot a gun and i was nailing them, it's not that hard to hit something like that espcially at close range.

p.s my aunt(sarah polley) is in this movie and she is sick, the original is cool, but for kids who like a decent action flick it holds up in that department.

[Mad Caddie]

Man, i loved this movie. I was laughing my head off. I just had so much fun. Pure, mindless entertainment for when you just want to switch off and enjoy a silly movie. I'm keen for the DVD.

[dayafterdayroks]

This movie was a lot better than i thought and heard it out to be. Tons of gory action and i did find myself laughting a couple of times. Like when they were shooting celebrity looka likes that was awesome, but if it were me i would have just killed as many as i could that dude had tons of ammo...

[GothamCity_hXc]

Man, i loved this movie. I was laughing my head off. I just had so much fun. Pure, mindless entertainment for when you just want to switch off and enjoy a silly movie. I'm keen for the DVD.


agreed.

[AreTwoKay]

Old one was better, they shouldn't remake classic movies

[_astheruinfalls]

agreed.
Me too.

So fucking funny.

[[Brendan]]

I think both versions are awesome.

[kid.kills.romeo]

i love and hate zombie movies. Dawn Of The Dead scared me so much, i slept on my kitchen counter with a knife in my hand. hah- im not crazy, every little noise in my house just freaked me out after that.

[LoyalSubject]

I love zombie movies like this. especially this one because they added humor to it in tense moments and just the human survival element is pretty awesome. The part with the baby was pretty freaky and when the zombie with no legs popped out of nowhere but thats about all that scared me.

[Emopunkthrice]

I was laughing my ass off too the it was funny how they killed zombies for fun!

I love your aunt. She's a great actress. You should get me her autograph for Christmas, get her to sign my copy of Go!!!

[MaybeOneDay]

I thought this movie was pretty good. Some of the plot parts were kinda stupid, but it was good entertainment none the less. I enjoyed it definately.

[Throwback]

I thoroughly had fun through it, tho Shaun of the Dead owns the remake.

[mondeoman]

My best friend is obsessed with this movie. He had nightmares after he watched it. So he made me watch it last weekend and I liked it. Not that scary (I don't get scared during movies), kind of funny.

[Louise Heng]

i was watching it the other day with my dad and brother and they kept laughing while i hid under my blanket.

it was ok, from what I saw though.

[Dan08]

didn't think it was that great..just liked the part where they were killing the celeb look alikes..and that part with the pregnant lady was sick...just damn sick

[Signals Corrupted]

i didnt enjoy this movie. they could have used better actors.. the asshole from "meet joe black" didnt make the best tragic hero in my opinion... the bonus footage is awesome though, especially the guy from across the street's video diary. good stuff

[TENSOR123]

i think it started off good, pretty scary. but after about 30 mins and when they got to the mall, it really blowed. they were in the mall for way too long and it just got boring. i like movies that have zombies and that shit in them, but i haven't seen anything good like that in so long.

[Lueda Alia]

It was sorta funny but ot her than that, pretty lame.

And not scary at all, seeing as I never got any nightmares!!

[BrAndNew619]

It wasnt as scary as I thought it was going to be, on a rating for 1-10 I would give it a hmm 6.5

[Lueda Alia]

6.5?

you're being too nice.

[Mad Caddie]

8.5 from me, i had an awesome time watching it. Can't wait to get my hands on the DVD for those juicy, fleshy special features.

[YouWish22]

eh, i didn't really like it.

[sleepygrlgreen]

i'm sorry...but, cabin fever takes the cake in regards to hilarious horror movies. this might have been mentioned, but does anyone remember the scene where they had "down with the sickness" in the background? i love the way they re-did the song.

[nofxmisfitt]

dawn of the dead is my favorite movie right now- i think i have a paranoia of the end of the world

[colorsarenice]

i love and hate zombie movies. Dawn Of The Dead scared me so much, i slept on my kitchen counter with a knife in my hand. hah- im not crazy, every little noise in my house just freaked me out after that.

haha omfff mee too!!! except i slept with the light on in my room.. i had like 7 nightmares on it.. im still paranoid to this day.. pretty saddd haha.. but then it was like the coolest movie everrrrr

[parisAnd helen]

one of my favorite movies.. but 28 days later is better

[rockerkitty2288]

This movie scared the crap outta me! I LOVE horror movies, and I must say, I really liked this one. I mean, the zombies looked soo.. real! and you never know what will happen next. And, they had some comic relief too. Awesome movie!

[Reiver]

I just saw the unrated version of DOTD, good movie. I need to get it on DVD.

[AnonomusVsCA]

the old one was good, but if i watch it again i think i will go crazy. but i could watch the new version every day, it is awesome

[PunkDrums182]

I shot skeet the first time i ever shot a gun and i was nailing them, it's not that hard to hit something like that espcially at close range.

p.s my aunt(sarah polley) is in this movie and she is sick, the original is cool, but for kids who like a decent action flick it holds up in that department.
same with me and shooting skeet.

i know what you mean about the humor like the elevator music and stuff, that movie was great.

[rockerkitty2288]

One part that scared me was when that damn zombie came out of nowhere and slammed against the mall window when that guy was standing there. And the part when that one guy went into the sports department store and found that zombie manager eating that one guy. And the fact that the zombies could RUN was even more intense... kinda reminded me of 28 Days Later.

[[Brendan]]

It's funny I really like both versions of the film, and it feels really wrong because remakes arn't supposed be anywhere near as good as the originals. I actully saw the remake of DOD at the movies which actully made the whole experience better. Have you ever noticed that some movies can seem really good when you watch them at the cinema (the movies) but not as good when you get them on dvd and watch them at home?

[rockerkitty2288]

Ya, I think it's cuz it's more suspenseful and louder in a Theater.. and maybe cuz it's so dark.. and scary... *looks around anxiously*

[KRACKERjax666]

has anyone heard of "land of the dead", it's supposed to be a continuation of dotd and is supposed to be done sometime in late 2005.

[AnonomusVsCA]

right here (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0418819/) buddy

[rockerkitty2288]

I haven't heard o fthat one, but have any of you seen the new version of Night of the Living Dead? It's perty good, but no where NEAR as good as DOTD.

[[Brendan]]

Ya, I think it's cuz it's more suspenseful and louder in a Theater.. and maybe cuz it's so dark.. and scary... *looks around anxiously*
Yeah your probably right.

[Adrian Villagomez]

This has been playing on MTV, and I've had it on in the background a couple times now. I was eventually forced to give it my full attention when I realized it was a pretty entertaining horror flick, and I care little for Hollywood horror. The plot is enjoyably simple, and it washed the taste out of my mouth after playing Dead Rising. Bleh, that was a terrible Zombie-filled mall story.

Yeah I watched it the other night. It is a fun movie, but god, some of the acting is atrocious. Specifically the douchebag guy. God, he was awful.

[J.C.]

Steve, I'm sure.

I caught it twice since MTV started showing it. Definitely entertaining, and I usually hate horror films as a rule of thumb. Plus it has Ving Rhames.

Yeah, I think that's the one. However, Ving Rhames saying "Fuck Y'all" makes me die every time. His delivery is hilarious.

[drudo182]

Still probably my favorite Zach Snyder movie.

[cantnokdahustle]

Glad to see I've hated Zach Snyder since 3/20/04.

[Full Effect Ed]

One of my most hated remakes, but Snyder made up for it when he delivered Watchmen

[IAmNietzche]

Wow, can't get behind this thread at all. Thought this was one of the better remakes in memory.
