Rating: C-Until now the only exposure to Zombieland I'd had was a short theatrical trailer that ran when I checked out District 9 back in August. I remember thinking, Oh, cool, a zombie-comedy with two Superbad stars, Michael Cera and Emma Stone. Well, it took me twenty minutes to realize two things: (1) the lead was not Michael Cera but, rather, a sordid knockoff of Cera, and (2) the movie was headed downhill. After the strong opening twenty minutes, Zombieland turns the viewer into a lethargic zombie for another sixty minutes with boring subplots and a farewell to clever humor. Even the surprise cameo bit doesn't bring the movie or the audience back to life.
I thought this was pretty lame too. Some of it was way worse than other parts (the pun he did about fatties) but in general, this was pretty stupid, and it didn't make sense a lot of the time. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteYeah. Thanks for another feeble attempt at the genre Hollywood.
ReplyDeleteIm so entirely with you here, and made the same Cera comparison lol.. Utterly unimpressed, and Im sure this one will be forgotten despite the positive press it got last year. Harrelson rules though
ReplyDeleteCarl - Agreed. Definitely not a movie that I'll think of or watch again. NEXT!
ReplyDeleteHmm I liked it. Thought it was mindless Hollywood fun...sequel is gonna be in 3D.
ReplyDeleteBe more fitting if Hollywood decided to do a remake of Zombieland in 3D!
