It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Good casting. Good plot. Decent writing. Some scenes are a bit over the top.Writers get mad kudos from me when they don't inject jokes every five minutes into a movie like this. The exception is when the movie is suppose to be a comedy or comedic.WW Z caught me by surprise and kept me interested from credits to credits. Also, unlike other Z movies the focus was not on victims being devoured and intestines being munched on. Rather, people were basically being "recruited" into the Z ranks. The globe-trotting added a layer of depth that was totally unexpected as typical Z movies are filmed in one home or town. I did not read the book. Thus my expectations were a blank slate.Also, the Z actors deserve major kudos for twisting and contorting their bodies into the scary creatures. I think these nuances are often missed by people who gave this movie low ratings.
I'm honestly surprised by the bad reviews on this site for this film. I've seen my fair share of zombie movies and this is my favourite. I've watched it a good 10 times and it doesn't take the fear away. The thought behind it that there is a was to defeat this disease is brilliant, as is the acting. I also love 28 days later and class is as the same type of zombie horror movie. I loved it.
Apparently Max Brooks read "An oral history of the second world war" and was really taken by the atmosphere in it. And I must say that he was really successful in capturing it -I haven't read it, but I still get exactly what he means, from reading his "World War Z, an oral history of the zombie war".I didn't think much of Brook's book, but a friend made me read it. I was blown away. I was out sailing by myself for a week, and I got really hooked. And, to be honest, a little scared, alone in my little boat, in the dark scerries of the swedish archipelago. Late august. Dark nights.Rarely have I wished for a book to be rendered as a movie. But this time I did. And the only thing I have to say about the film in this review is that it's a massive let down. It's got nothing of that fantastic atmosphere. It is a missed opportunity. I hope some day a good crew will turn it into a tv-series instead.The movie "World War Z" has got nothing to do with the book, and as such it's watchable, but also forgettable.
This is one of those films where my rating shifts constantly between two scores. Depending on what mood I'm in, I'll either give it the better score or the lower. Today, I'm willing to give it the better score. In a decade where we have The Walking Dead and other popular zombie films, World War Z tries to set itself apart from the rest by injecting action set pieces rather than pure horror. The globe is hit with a pandemic, a virus that if contracted within 12 seconds you'll be turned into a 'zombie'. The dreaded Z word that strikes fear into the heart of many...except our protagonist's family who seems to be calmer than most oceans. Like seriously, zombies are ravaging people in the middle of New York City and they are so cool and calm it's as if they witness this everyday! But yes, this is a typical zombie formula where we go from point A to B to C and to D in order to find answers. Along the way, the film is fuelled by exhilarating set pieces ranging from New York City, raining South Korea and dusty Jerusalem. It's utterly watchable and does keep me captivated for its entire runtime. Despite the atrocious human visual effects for the hordes of zombies (which...is just horrendously bad), I like their mannerisms. Little idiosyncrasies like chattering of the teeth, consistent spasms in the arm and, my favourite, nose diving off buildings. Zombie missiles as such, minus the explosion. Brad Pitt holds every scene in a quieter performance than usual. His wit has been substituted for focus and fear simultaneously, and it works. Liked the members of WHO but all over cast members were wasted. What I cannot stand are the huge amount of conveniences in the plot. Wherever our main character goes, trouble shortly arrives. Call it bad luck or convenience, it's uninspired and formulaic regardless. I can't shake it off. Having said that, it's enjoyable for what it is. It holds my attention and is well made...just has a few niggles that I can't forgive.
