Shaun of the Dead (2024)

Wonderful character development!

I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.

Absolutely Fantastic

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

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

A man decides to turn his moribund life around by winning back his ex-girlfriend, reconciling his relationship with his mother, and dealing with an entire community that has returned from the dead to eat the living. Edgar Wright's Shaun of the Dead is an overrated, over the top and unfunny mess that wastes Simon Pegg's talent and bored me to death from start to finish and that english humor? Jeez it's just terrible. (0/10)

I'm reading reviews and trying to find golden middle with no success. Audience considers this movie either the best or the worst British movie of the year. British have an unusual and for the rest of us often incomprehensible sense of humor. If you're used to Hollywood this probably won't entertain you. I suppose that most of the lowest ratings came from USA. At the other hand, I think this movie is overrated and that most of the tens, that pulled it to an average of eight, came largely from Britain. From my point of view, this is solid movie for one watching. I wouldn't call it a comedy. It is horror adventure sprinkled with lots of humor, British humor that tries not to be too British, but to adapt to the wider audience. And in that attempt lies it's biggest issue. Also, it is very difficult to mix genres, especially if there's too many. Although this movie somewhat succeeds in that attempt it didn't quite shine. Still, we have to acknowledge this brave attempt to make something unusual. All together, if you're not a fan of recent British film don't even give it a try, but if you are able to slip into British state of mind I think you'll enjoy this flick. I surely did.7/10

Shaun Of The DeadIt's funny, to the point and exciting; Simon Pegg upbeats all the cult keys that were missing lately on semi comic movies.
