I can’t have been the only person sharpening my snarky knives ahead of the release of World War Z.
Overdue and over-budget, the film was shaping up to be amongst this summer’s biggest turkeys. One, which as a fan of the source material from which the film takes its name, I was gleefully looking forward to carving to pieces.
Death Whisperer Review: Nadech Kugimiya makes for a beefy protagonist in this horror movie that any and all thrills!
What Jennifer Did Review: Documentary navigates twists and turns of the story really well.
Anthracite Review: This Netflix thriller makes us go down several engaging roads and the twists and turns are delicious.
I'm more than a little surprised at WWZs success only based on the fact that it's so different from the book which, was amazing. The second I saw fast running zombies, I thought Oh man this is going to be a huge pile of dog crap and it's going to fail miserably. Sure showed me.
How about rather than going to see these films as a critic, people actually go to enjoy them. I enjoyed world war z without knowing anything about the book, and hey, it was fun. I intend to see gatsby when it comes to blu-ray, and instead of ripping it for not being enough like the book, I'm gonna sit back and let my eyes do the judging. There's a whole lot of moaning in the entertainment industry as of late, it's almost as if people like being pissed off. Shit, just enjoy what we do have.
...so the autor of the article watched the movie to see how good it resembles the original source, without knowing the fact that the director said, months ago, that the only thing they have in common is the name?
It's good to see people know their business. Still a good movie.
My only complaint was the ending but other than that it was a good movie btw the whole place was packed.
These movies are getting great money overseas and even some are getting great money here because slowly people are noticing what movie buffs have known forever.
Critics are full of shit.
