THOUGHTS AND BEST BITS
World war zzzzzzzzzzzzz. Yeh its that fucking boring to watch. The trailer is the best part of the movie lol. This is not a film you watch over and over again and enjoy its pretty much a one time watch and even then chances are your gonna spend as much time on your phone on twitter as you are watching it.
The story was light to say the least. Based on some kinda book ? not sure what that is but il google it later. Any ways taking a book and not expanding it to the big screen is a typical hollywood mistake made over and over again. The film kicks of with a Disney style rewrite on the original story and we have a boring breakfast with the kids yawnnn. Then its on to the fast paced zombies just hit philly attack and all hell breaks lose and then our hero grabs a trailer and drives out the city as every car seems to have stopped working at this point ?. Then he parks it up and leaves the fucking keys in it as he goes shopping for an asma inhaler for his little girl. Again a Disney added extra to the movie. Then the movie moves along for a big almost picks up some tension and style and then its just fizzles away to boredom. If the Disney added scenes had not been in the movie it would not only have been shorter but less emotional making me think this "book" was written by some kind of crappy Jp Jackson type. But on the other hand changing the ending to a Disney kids club hopeful ending just took away so much from the movie.
Acting wise its not gonna win fuck all its almost all extras in scene after scene with Pitt and with what he does have to work with hes never gonna impress me much. The guys played Tyler Durden and Achilles but this blows and only proves you cant polish a turd.
