As requested, here is my nutshell review of Dawn of the Dead: Two decomposing but still animated thumbs up!
Strong points:
Weak points:
That's right: no weak points. This movie hit the ground running and never looked back. Plot holes you could drive a truck through are blissfully ignored, bad acting straight out of a West Valley acting class is spot-on, there's dialogue more stilted than a 10-foot clown in a parade ... and it all worked beautifully. This was an excellent remake, preserving the tone of the original while updating it to the present.
I loved every minute of it. And I got away with it, too.
Sweet.
