no way. the original is a complete garbage. the zombies look like smurfs, the acting is terrible and the dialogue is cringe.
the remake is so much better
I like it and I'm tired of people pretending shambling zombies are better than runners.
>I like it and I'm tired of people pretending shambling zombies are better than runners.
yep, me too. also, in the original, there is a scene where zombie kids run too
>no way. the original is a complete garbage. the zombies look like smurfs, the acting is terrible and the dialogue is cringe. >the remake is so much better
Legit kys. I don't even know why the "remake" is called Dawn of the Dead because it has nothing to do with the original
thank god it doesn't, because the romero's version is shit. the only good thing that came out of it was the satire about the consumerist society, also represented on the snyder's version of the film
>its damn good
no it's bad.
our main characters are just wandering around with no plan, and just happen to accidentally come to the mall.
and then of course there is the moronic plan to escape the mall for no damn reason.
and there's more shit like that in the movie.
You're tired of people being objectively right?
Zombies lose all identity when they're just 'angry people' that zip around like crackheads looking for a fix.
Snyder is a homosexual. I am glad his daughter took her own life. What the little piece of talentless Indian sidewalk shit deserves for pissing away all great opportunities he's had in his disappointing career.
passive aggressive men rule the world
no wonder everything sucks
Holy frick, this is the most passive-aggressive c**tery. I'm shocked this wasn't written by a woman.
Yeah dude they should debate on Lex Friedman and then have Joe Rogan host a UFC match between them. Just like intellectual dueling men of the old times.
everyone forgets that between the kino opening 20 minutes and the kino ending 10 minutes there is over an hour of flat, forgettable characters arguing in an empty mall.
they decided that to differenciate the remake from the original, they would have the mall already be zombie-free and secured when they arrived, thereby skipping the entire premise of the movie. the original movie has a 15 minute section where the mall has been cleared and the survivors start to get bored. this is the sequence that the majority of the remake is devoted to. since the characters are completely safe almost immediately, they have to contrive reasons for them to be in danger.
Counterpoint: having a whole movie dedicated to some people hanging out at a mall living like kings while surrounded by death with no future just because they can take anything they want from the stores and play games all day sells the "ackhtually humans are the walking dead because... uh... consumerism" angle that Romero wanted.
>Dr. Manhattan origin sequence >not the intro sequence that sets up the universe perfectly
He's a damn fine music video director and should do more of that.
The mall was very comfy. How long do you think a group could survive in a mall like that before running out if food and whatnot in a zombie outbreak? Electricity would go pretty quick right? So a lot of the food you wouldn't be able to cook it.
You can cook with the thing called fire
You could plant some shit on the roof with the soil you'd find in the gardening department
As long as your water source isn't contaminated you're good, otherwise you need to catch rain and boil water
Not sure how many people would be viable
The zombies were already visibly decaying, you’d only need to stay alive 4-8 weeks at most, especially in a very wet (decay) or very dry (mummifying) environment.
Leaving a place of near complete safety to travel through danger to a place that’s almost certainly less safe than where you are is literal moron-tier writing.
Do American malls actually have emergency generators? I never understood that. In my country only emergency services have that. And you'll still need a frick ton of diesel to keep it operating.
I worked at a library next to a city hall, and we were connected to the city hall's generator.
Seemed like an odd waste of resources to me. If the power's out, we should've just closed for the day.
This movie and my love for heist movies made me actually think I was in for a fun Snyder movie when I sat down to watch Undead Heist or whatever it's called, thinking he'd deliver something at least somewhat like DoTD and having a heist take place during a zombie apocalypse would bring it over the edge for me. Instead he delivered trash with almost zero heist movie elements that makes so little sense that his fanboys were inventing theories that various scenes take place in different universes. Truly awful.
When it was advertised I really thought it was going to be them having to break into the vault without tripping an automated security system, because if they tripped it then the alarm would ring and zombies would be attracted to the noise, cutting off their escape.
I still wish I got to see that movie instead of the schizo shit with robot zombies and the worst use of a Cranberries song that I've ever heard.
Jesus that Vegas zombie heist flick… Huey helicopters get 1.2 nautical miles to the gallon AFTER at least 3-5 minutes warming up and they think a couple of Jerry cans of fuel on people’s backs will be enough to get them out of the blast zone? Who the frick writes moronic shit like this?
Why is the scene good though? Ask yourself what you like about it. I don't think anyone's ever watched that scene and said >wow this is so well written
Slow zombies are not scary. Nothing slow is scary. Tigers are scary because they are fast. Elephants are scary when they decide to move fast. Trains are scary because they're fast and metal. Cancer is scary when it reproduces faster than it can be treated. Speed = scary. If you're scared of slow things, it's because you're morbidly obese.
>Tigers are scary because they are fast.
That's not why people who live in tiger country fears them.
Zombies should come in both varities. Fast zombies that make lots of scary noise and chase you, bringing in more zombies to your location, and slow zombies that are quiet and able to ambush you because they quietly shamble around a corner or crawl out from under a bed to bite your ankle. Hordes will naturally be filled by the slower shamblers instead of runners, but runners will always bring in a horde with all their noise.
Persistence hunting (a very human technique) is extremely scary. Monsters that don’t ever stop to sleep or rest have always been regarded as terrifying. See: trad zombies, Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers, Cujo etc.

Other example:
I'd say the scariest thing about wolves is the fact that they howl and hunt you through the woods(even when it's just the illusion of them hunting you). It was being followed, for a long time if you were on horseback, that really scared our ancestors, not the wolf moving fast once spotted.
Not that anyone cares or that these are particularly good pictures, but this is my local mall so I'm just gonna dump some pics I took for a fanatic friend of the original movie
>Misc pics 4/5
Most likely meaningless to non locals but a very new VA has been constructed behind the mall. The next pic, and the final pic will tie it all together
>Misc pics 5/5
This is a shot from the movie vs (what I assume is) a Google Image shot. Just a neat view to see the development of the land since the movie. To the immediate left is where the new VA is.
The remake is a competently done but very cliche zombie movie, whereas the original feels so from other zombie apocalypse movies as borderline cozy for the majority of the film.
Worthless violence porn with nothing to say, no heart, no soul, with a plot propelled solely by people doing stupid illogical shit for dumb reasons. A real desecration of the low-budget but honest and unpretentious original, and an example of how special effects absolutely do not compensate for unpleasant paper-thin characters and a missing moral core.
This movie’s greatest horror element is not the zombies on screen but the highlighting of beloved movies and franchises themselves being exhumed and crudely reanimated in an abominable mockery of the life that had once been breathed into their previous incarnations.
I hated it for shitting all over Romero's vision.
Then I hated it, realizing how fricking dumb it was, on its own merit as well.
And to this day I keep hating it for ruining the zombie genre, making pretty much all zombies run from now on.
Frick that movie and frick Zack Snyder. And James Gunn too.
>And to this day I keep hating it for ruining the zombie genre, making pretty much all zombies run from now on.
28 Days Later did it first, and because it's impossible to really feel scared if the zombies are slow. In a world with slow zombies, I would honestly just pet them.
regardless of which one was more influential, I'm actually curious about what movie had the first running zombies. Return of the Living Dead is from 1985.
Why wouldn't I admit that living humans with fully functional organisms (except for brains, I guess) who are clearly not dead / undead and don't eat other people are not zombies?
I fricking hate that fricking song not just because it’s a shitty whiny song and I hate her vocal style but also because midwit idiots who can’t into lyrics don’t understand that it has nothing to do with actual zombies.
Is Gunn wrong in this scenario, though? People only talk about Scorsese's newest films when they want to laugh at a digitally deaged Deniro limply kicking a guy who has to pretend he's getting beaten within an inch of his life.
This movie is dumb. Its outright laughable in some parts. Like the controlling security guard who becomes a better person by reading good housekeeping. The woman who goes out of her way to save a dog they found a couple of days earlier. The fact that they swap a relatively secure area for a gamble that some boat will be there to take them god knows where.
Isnt Lack of food why they left. Also if they had enormous amounts of ammo they should just have killed as many Zombies as they could a day to thin the numbers out
they should've made the tank with a surface that the zombies would slide off of instead of a bunch of edgy spikes and shit, something like that with enough gas and you could clear out everything periodically.
Been a while since I watched it but I'm pretty sure they still had plenty of food, but they all agreed that staying there was a worse idea than trying for something better while they still had a chance. Even though waiting a few months for all the zombies to rot to the point where motion was impossible makes more sense.
>a relatively secure area
There was no future there. They would have been forced to leave sooner or later, but leaving sooner meant they'd have the gun store guy with them and all his weapons, bringing their chances of survival up drastically. Their only mistake was getting panicked and rushing too much after the sandwich trick failed. You'd have to be a total moron to stay in a doomed mall where you'll starve sooner or later instead of taking the hope of a boat and uninfected islands.
The security guard was always an okay guy, he just knew the inherent dangers of allowing outsiders into his country. Shit, I meant into his mall fortress.
I remember reading an interview with Snyder somewhere where he said the original idea was to have both running movies and shambling zombies whereas the runners would be freshly turned and as they decomposed some of them would become the slower more traditional zombies, but they didn't have the budget to show all the various stages of decomposition on such a large scale.
I got over so much of the rest of this movie and you just had to remind me they fricking shoehorned in a zombie baby and a multiple murder scene. Fricking stupid.
The remake is decent for what it is but its never beating the original which is one of the comfiest movies ever made. Perfect lazy sunday afternoon viewing and gave us the original and best Dead Rising which is also a classic in its own right.
>When you're generally dangerous
Except authoritarian white men are the glue that keep society from falling apart, so they're the opposite of dangerous, they create safety. >you're generally portrayed as dangerous
You perceive them as such because they were portrayed as such in the israeli media you grew up with. >Except Black folk.
Gee I wonder why that is
I'll never forget watching this movie in theaters when I was 9 years old. It was a late showing and it was packed with blacks but it added to the experience. They made that shit so funny but when the serious stuff happened it would be all quiet and you would faintly hear some say "oh damn"
Before this movie came out I remember they showed a 10 minute trailer that aired after something we were watching on tv. I think we were watching sports but can't remember.
started out great but the characters started losing brain cells throughout the movie until they became brain dead morons
by the end, the zombies were smarter than them
All you homosexuals are wrong and thinking about zombies "scientifically". The most kino undead are magic. Powerful necromancers laying waste to kingdoms with hordes of undead minions. >zombies = slow and tanky >skeletons = fast and clacky
Now name 10 kinos with magic undead that isn't Evil Dead/Army of Darkness
the old one was better.
no way. the original is a complete garbage. the zombies look like smurfs, the acting is terrible and the dialogue is cringe.
the remake is so much better
>I like it and I'm tired of people pretending shambling zombies are better than runners.

Yes but the remake is also very hood
>very hood
Yeah, but the Wu-Tang Clan showing up to fight zombies was a bit too much for me.
Dawn of the Dead in the Hood was okay but Dawn of the Dead in Space was better.
Wrong
Yes, but the Dawn of the Dead remake is one of the few watchable remakes.
>Snyder didn't want to put in the only really good scene in the movie
imagine my shock
I like it and I'm tired of people pretending shambling zombies are better than runners.
You're tired of people being objectively right?
Zombies lose all identity when they're just 'angry people' that zip around like crackheads looking for a fix.
sure it's a zombie apocalypse but what if... bear with me here... HUMANS and CONSUMERISM were the real monsters all along?
>the director
Big disrespect to Snyder
Snyder is a homosexual. I am glad his daughter took her own life. What the little piece of talentless Indian sidewalk shit deserves for pissing away all great opportunities he's had in his disappointing career.
>g-g-go back to R*ddit
If only Snyder could go back in time and be a better father.
No this is Gunn's movie which is also ironically Snyder's best film
you will get fired for mentioning his name in DC/WB studios
It's probably a bit more professional to say that in what is ultimately a criticism
>vision
yeah vision of a blind old man
if he tweeted "Snyder is a homosexual hack lmao DC is mine now" it would be more subtle than this post
kek this, a million furious Indians live rent free in Gunn's mind
Best scene in the movie, not suprised it came from Gunn and not that hack Snyder
Does he also make passive aggressive tweets about his ex wife?
Yeah dude they should debate on Lex Friedman and then have Joe Rogan host a UFC match between them. Just like intellectual dueling men of the old times.
Couldn't he have said something like "Zach made it work just like I envisioned" or something?
>won't even say his name
man that's some b***hy ex-girlfriend shit
>doesn’t even call Snyder by name
Lol, the disrespect
passive aggressive men rule the world
no wonder everything sucks
Watching his Superman fail just gets sweeter by the day.
What's with this dude and Zack Snyder?
Snyder shit on MCU as he was making BVS. He called marvel a bunch of “flavor of the weeks”. I guess Gunn took that personally.
everyone forgets that between the kino opening 20 minutes and the kino ending 10 minutes there is over an hour of flat, forgettable characters arguing in an empty mall.

I bet Snyder wishes he had a cool name like Gunn.
>when you die, you become a super athlete
Remake was shit.
It's kind of like how we only use 10% of our brain, we also only use 10% of our body's potential. The zombie virus unlocks the remaining 90%
It's the only good scene.
Easy one of the best movies of all time and the best zombie movie of them all.
Literally the only good sequence in Snyder's entire filmography
>Dr. Manhattan origin sequence
>First battle in 300 + the ending
>Man of Steel first flight
>BvS warehouse scene
You're wrong and homosexual.
>his best scenes are the ones where he just had to copy someone else's work
b***h to be you right now
The scenes from Man of Steel and BvS are original dumbass Cinemaphilehomosexual
it's interesting, because those ones aren't any good
>Dr. Manhattan origin sequence
>not the intro sequence that sets up the universe perfectly
He's a damn fine music video director and should do more of that.

In case of an major emergency, the library can be converted into a shelter. I mean a lot of city's libraries are basically homeless shelters as is.

There was no heist in the movie marketed as heist movie

Do you really think your average Hollywood nepo baby screenwriter knows anything about helicopters?
At least in the 1970s you had someone on the set who had been in Nam.
You don’t need an aeronautical degree to know that aircraft guzzle fuel, man.
that movie was ass, a monkey with a typewriter would've wrote a more coherent plot than what synder shat out
the movie looked like shit too
THOSE ARE PEOPLE WHO DIED DIED
THE BATS HAVE LEFT THE BELL TOWER
Zombies are the worst movie monster there is. Completely uncompelling in every movie they are in.
Why is the scene good though? Ask yourself what you like about it. I don't think anyone's ever watched that scene and said
>wow this is so well written
do you think a screenplay writer only writes spoken lines and never sets out how a scene plays out?
Slow zombies are not scary. Nothing slow is scary. Tigers are scary because they are fast. Elephants are scary when they decide to move fast. Trains are scary because they're fast and metal.

I do actually like this film, but it totally falls the frick off in the final act.
So what was the alternate scene with Snyder?

Wow Snyder really does live in this homosexuals head rent free. Can't wait for all the not so thinly veiled jabs towards him in Superman Legacy.
Nvm it's a fake screenshot. Op is a homosexual
Gunn is the one living rent free in sneedgays heads lmao
damn, the first scene always felt out of place, the pacing changes, and the movies goes downhill.
James Gunn was always a passive aggressive c**t.
You used a bad example to make your point. Snyder's/WB's movies were so bad nobody watched them "TO" reference them.
Snyder is a hack but at least he's a man unlike that limp-wrist Gunn
Is Gunn wrong in this scenario, though? People only talk about Scorsese's newest films when they want to laugh at a digitally deaged Deniro limply kicking a guy who has to pretend he's getting beaten within an inch of his life.
You been talkin' shit about that young kid, I heard he's looking for you.
Snyder is based, I don't care what anyone says. Yeah, he's a shitty film maker, but at least he owns the fact that he's making schlock.
Why does it talk about Dawn like he invented it? He just remade it
Snyderbabies BTFO
the best scene was the burt reynolds one
And then it got spoiled by the judgy c**t
I always thought this was the one genius scene Snyder ever did. Whelp.
This movie is dumb. Its outright laughable in some parts. Like the controlling security guard who becomes a better person by reading good housekeeping. The woman who goes out of her way to save a dog they found a couple of days earlier. The fact that they swap a relatively secure area for a gamble that some boat will be there to take them god knows where.
Isnt Lack of food why they left. Also if they had enormous amounts of ammo they should just have killed as many Zombies as they could a day to thin the numbers out
They made a fricking tank basically. They could use that to go back and forth for resources.
they should've made the tank with a surface that the zombies would slide off of instead of a bunch of edgy spikes and shit, something like that with enough gas and you could clear out everything periodically.
HOw many dead zombies would it take under the wheels of your car to jam it up?
Yeah they also didn't do anything to protect the tires, I think they even had a welding machine lol
Of a commercial van? One. The other major issue was that the one van gets flipped almost immediately.
Been a while since I watched it but I'm pretty sure they still had plenty of food, but they all agreed that staying there was a worse idea than trying for something better while they still had a chance. Even though waiting a few months for all the zombies to rot to the point where motion was impossible makes more sense.
>The woman who goes out of her way to save a dog they found a couple of days earlier.
That's definitely something a woman would do. It's realistic.
>a relatively secure area
There was no future there. They would have been forced to leave sooner or later, but leaving sooner meant they'd have the gun store guy with them and all his weapons, bringing their chances of survival up drastically. Their only mistake was getting panicked and rushing too much after the sandwich trick failed. You'd have to be a total moron to stay in a doomed mall where you'll starve sooner or later instead of taking the hope of a boat and uninfected islands.
>The woman who goes out of her way to save a dog they found a couple of days earlier.
gun store guy ran out of food
the dog was to deliver food
The security guard was always an okay guy, he just knew the inherent dangers of allowing outsiders into his country. Shit, I meant into his mall fortress.
Decent enough action slop and pretty rewatchable. Low as far as zombie movies go.
i heard this guy wrote a shitscript and other cowriters had to wrangle the moron as it was too traummy. can an anon correct me on this?
I remember reading an interview with Snyder somewhere where he said the original idea was to have both running movies and shambling zombies whereas the runners would be freshly turned and as they decomposed some of them would become the slower more traditional zombies, but they didn't have the budget to show all the various stages of decomposition on such a large scale.
They were fricking super villains in Army so i dont think he really gave a frick.
Dawn of the Dead was 20 years ago before Snyder was a name, and it only had a 26 million dollar budget, he couldn't just do whatever he wanted
xd, le super competent nurse b***h knows everything everyone else is a frick up.
It’s a solid zombie flick.
I got over so much of the rest of this movie and you just had to remind me they fricking shoehorned in a zombie baby and a multiple murder scene. Fricking stupid.
>the only decent scene of the movie happened DESPITE Snyder and not bacause of him
kek, every time
The only good things about the film, were Ving Rhames, and Richard Cheese's Down with the Sickness.
The remake is decent for what it is but its never beating the original which is one of the comfiest movies ever made. Perfect lazy sunday afternoon viewing and gave us the original and best Dead Rising which is also a classic in its own right.
>they're all white
wut
i like the movie even if past halfway the movie the plot just get too moronic
Fast zombies are better than slow zombies, only redditors disagree
the whole debate is reddit incarnate and you need to go back
zombies are just bad. even worse than mummies
fast mummies would be cool
israeli trash
>muh evil authoritarian right wing white male
textbook Adorno, it's like they can't help themselves
When you're generally dangerous you're generally portrayed as dangerous. Except Black folk.
>When you're generally dangerous
Except authoritarian white men are the glue that keep society from falling apart, so they're the opposite of dangerous, they create safety.
>you're generally portrayed as dangerous
You perceive them as such because they were portrayed as such in the israeli media you grew up with.
>Except Black folk.
Gee I wonder why that is
i was half being moronic just to get a (you) tonight
frick israelites and their entirely real agenda, but I gotta play along or I'll get me-jewed
Except CJ turns out to be a hero in the end
I'll never forget watching this movie in theaters when I was 9 years old. It was a late showing and it was packed with blacks but it added to the experience. They made that shit so funny but when the serious stuff happened it would be all quiet and you would faintly hear some say "oh damn"
Before this movie came out I remember they showed a 10 minute trailer that aired after something we were watching on tv. I think we were watching sports but can't remember.
It might have been Viva La Bam or Wildboyz.
I thought the 2004 remake was made by Sneeder
That one part where one of the actors in the movie calls the zombies "dead-ish", I always wondered if the creator of "Black-ish" stole it from dotd.
I have the original. This one sucks compared to it.
The remake is ok for an action flick
I like the one with the train!
started out great but the characters started losing brain cells throughout the movie until they became brain dead morons
by the end, the zombies were smarter than them
All you homosexuals are wrong and thinking about zombies "scientifically". The most kino undead are magic. Powerful necromancers laying waste to kingdoms with hordes of undead minions.
>zombies = slow and tanky
>skeletons = fast and clacky
Now name 10 kinos with magic undead that isn't Evil Dead/Army of Darkness
Poltergeist 1
Poltergeist 2
Poltergeist 3
Now explain to me why no zombie movie since has been able to surpass it?
Romero passed away
Paul W.S. Anderson did it better. #ReleaseTheAndersonCut.
I like the dvd extra news room stuff.
absolute kino and best zombie flick ever
