None of the writers is at his best, and the film bears unmistakable signs of having been assembled by a Hollywood studio preoccupied with earning a family-friendly certificate.

Virtually all the violence takes place fractionally off-screen. That’s not going to please the gore-loving fanboys.

I can't wait to see it, and the fact that movie critics hate it makes me that much more excited about it opening. Sorry, I go to movies to be entertained, and "My Left Foot" isn't my idea of an entertaining flick.

Yeah I read all the bad reviews of this. I don’t know how anyone could screw up a movie with that concept, especially with that budget, but that’s Hollywood for you. They’ll invest a quarter billion bucks for a movie but not 99 cents for a yellow pad and a pen. I mean how does this work: “Hey you know, we have no script....But let’s make it up as we go along.” That Alien franchise is another one that ticks me off. Here you got this great concept and what do they do after the 2nd movie? Hey, let’s make it the Sigourney Weaver show. Sigourney goes to prison. Sigourney becomes part Alien. What the hell was that? The whole idea hinted at in the first two, was to bring the Aliens to earth so how come that never happened? What an epic movie that would have made. WW3 with the Aliens.

Given the negative buzz from the movie, I read the book last weekend. The biggest reason Pitt's character is not well defined in the movie is that there is no central character in the book. The central character is a bureaucrat who has collected a bunch of accounts from people around the world about how they survived the zombies. One man didn't do anything special, it was a lot of people doing whatever they could.

But I liked Independence Day, 10,000 BC and Godzilla.

Maybe they should have called the movie “World War ZZZZZZZ” as in a snooze fest.

I’m looking forward to Copperhead. Not sure of the release date, probably over the 4th since it’s about the Civil War - I’m thinking in honor of Gettysburg.

The only thing which saved Independence Day was a likable cast.

I couldn’t wait for it to come out - so that I could boycott it!

They will consider it a success if it makes 70 million over it’s run per boxofficemojo.com. I cannot imagine it not making that much. I don’t find the movie very interesting so I won’t be going, but I still think it will make money. This spring as been a boon for Hollywood. They are making so much money that even if World War Z bombs, it won’t matter.

My wife just read the book and said that while it was well-written, the story itself was hokey. May read it myself to see what she’s talking about.
