It’s not like the book, but still good!
Ok, ok, I know what you’re all thinking. “Where is the amazing movie review video this week?” “They are so funny.” “Rebekah and Julie really know their movie stuff.” Well, unfortunately, I messed up and we ended up with conflicting schedules, so now you’ll just have to read my review!
So the book, World War Z…I get it. It’s the zombie bible, but go see World War Z anyway! The movie is nothing like the book. You need to know that going in before you get mad about it. Forget the book, it’s nothing like it.
Now, with that being said, it’s still a great movie. The first 30 minutes might be the most intense intro to a movie I’ve seen in a while. After that, yes, the plot does slow down and there are less zombies, but overall, still good! Brad Pitt is great. He’s the only really superstar celeb in it. I actually kind of prefer realistic movies that way. AND, he looks hot!!! He should always have dirty hair and scruff. He just might be the only person in the world that can make dirty look hot!
I would say this movie is a lot like Will Smith’s I Am Legend. The premise is very similar, but with better special effects. The swarms of zombies from a distance look fantastic. I was concerned they wouldn’t.
I do have two gripes though. The first is a couple of the zombies were computer-generated in up close scenes. You could tell the weren’t real people. I’m not sure why, but that really annoys me!!! The second gripe…NO BLOOD!!! I am a zombie fanatic. The TV show, Walking Dead, has more blood in it than this did. They also don’t really show any zombie brain bashing. Booooooooo. I saw it in 3D, so there should have been blood flying at me the entire time! I guess that’s why it’s rated PG-13. If you have a teen, I think you can safely take them to see this one.
Ranking time…since it’s a zombie movie and even though you never seen anyone snacking on brains…I’ll give it 4 out of 5 braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaains.
