When I first heard about Zombieland I felt the same usually unnerving feeling of "oh yay here comes another shitty pile shiznit just waiting to steal my 9.50 and poop in my eyes for 2 hours". This time I thought I would save myself the traditional Jew terror of parting with my money like I did for lovely cum drenched films like Resident evil or History of violence (the worst movie ever). This time I used a lovely torrent to try out the movie, I figured I was being smart in our time of recession. Turns out I was pissed at myself for not seeing it in the theaters first.
I cannot describe to you how badass this movie is. Characters are developed enough to really be into them which is rare for a zombie movie and they get to use a whole range of weaponry not just shot guns and 2 by 4's. The arsenal in this quest for brains includes all the favorites like shotguns, pistols, automatics, and rifles but also welcomes such rare weapons like the banjo, pruning shears, and car doors. Now a person would think a zombie getting crushed by a banjo alone should make the movie worth 9.50 but to top off the whole cake of orgasm that is this movie they gave us Bill fecking Murray.
Another lovely new feature to Zombieland that so many other zombie apocalypses missed was the emotional element. When Woody Harrelson started crying in Bill Murrys mansion talking about Buck getting eaten and you figure out it was his kid and not a dog like he said in the begining............I got teary eyed i won't lie, hell I cried like a bitch. There's just something about the guy from white men can't jump balling that strikes a nerve I guess. There's also his movie wide quest for twinkies which he believes have experation dates and he could be the last man on earth to ever enjoy one. All bitch notes aside Woody Harrelson plays one badass zombie slayer and unlike the black dude from Night of the living dead he actually makes it in the end against a huge zombie horde.............it's awesome.
Zombieland offers something for the whole family. For the dads we have
For the Moms we have
And for the youngsters we have my personal favorite ZOMBIE KIDS!!!!!
But for the really hardcore zombie expert we have the greatest addition that every zombie movie ever has been missing.........the list. Many people seeing the movie might think it's a new thing but it's been around since George Romero first inadvertantly created zombies. The LIST is a fully zombie readyness guide and in secret zombie lovers have been building thier own just waiting for a group of rabid humans to start biting. Unlike all other forms of world ending crisis a zombie appocalypse has rules and if you follow the rules you can live. In Zombieland they constantly flash up rules from the list and in the end all 4 characters survive. The List contains rules like Double tap (always hit em one more time in the head), Cardio (the fat bastards get eaten first), and Always know your exit. This movie is essentialy a how to guide to surviving the living dead.
In closing go watch it or steal it what ever you have to do, just see this movie!
/agree I was reccommened to watch this film by a friend, however ive never been a fan of comedy horrors, always let me down! But, i went ahead trying to keep an open mind and watched it OMG! Love it!
