i love this movie. i like how they humanized the zombies. i especially love the little zombie couple that hold hands- that’s cute. jon leguizamo is another reason why i like watchng it. can you say hottie?
it was okay at best romero cant do better i mean look at dawn or night of the living dead
all in all the movie is decent but i waz a lil disappointed….:’{
excellent. One of the best zombie movies ever.
this movie is pretty good, but I hate that Romero tried to humanize the zombies. Zombies are walking corpses, they’re not supposed to have thoughts and feelings. The idea that zombies are mindless flesh eaters is what makes them so terrifying.
This one is way better than Diary of the Dead, but it’s still a far cry from Night, Dawn, and Day
This movie is ok. Seemed boring and not scary and really nothing great about it. I was excited when i heard he was doing another dead movie, but then the reviews came and they said it sucked. I don’t pay attention to those though so i rented it when it came out and man i was let down like a child who gets crap instead of what they wanted for their birthday. It is ok just a zombie movie that should not have romero’s name on it.
This is not ROMERO at his best but it’s still a very entertaining movie… one of the more memorable zombie films of the past 10 years. I loved ASIA ARGENTO in this she is super hot and bad ass (in a skanky kinda way..but hot thought)
JOHN LEGUIZAMO was wicked as usual! SIMON BAKER was a bit hard to except as the hero type after seeing him in L.A CONFIDENTAL (the gay actor killed the hotel with a tummy full of french fries and sperm!) But all jokes aside it a good movie the gore is great and I actually feel for the undead in this film it made think of the emotional conection he tries to get you to have with ‘BUB’ in DAY OF THE DEAD. You begin to feel bad for the plight of the ZOMBIE!!! It has a LOT of political subtones (some more obveous then others) but unlike DIARY OF THE DEAD it doesn’t get lost in it! I really recomend this one if not cause it’s a good movie then for all the wicked awesome gore. I give LAND OF THE DEAD 8 Asia Argentos in fish-net out of 10 Asia Argentos in fish-net!!!
Oh and look for the zombie cameos by SHAUN OF THE DEAD’S SIMON PEGG and SHAUN director EDGAR WRIGHT!
awesome zombie movie!
thought he was gonna lose his touch after not making a movie for a while, but TJ had faith!!! and it was a beautiful movie!!! love it.
“Like all the other zombie geeks out there, I had extremely high hopes for this, George A. Romero’s return to the genre that made him famous; a genre that, even if he didn’t necessarily create, he managed to distill into a unique formula that inspired countless imitations. A recent “surge in the popularity of zombie movies” (meaning major studios learned there’s money to be made in these types of films and started greenlighting them again) allowed Romero to secure the budget for this fourth entry in his “Living Dead” series.
I liked the way Romero showed the way life continued even after the zombie crisis. In a way, the inspiration for this seems to have been drawn from the stories featured in Skipp & Spector’s “Book of the Dead” series, which featured short stories by various authors about the world both during and after the rise of the living dead as depicted in Romero’s films. The Dead Reckoning truck was a good idea–finally someone in a zombie movie realized you need an armored vehicle to ensure your own safety, although nobody has learned yet that you should probably cover all exposed skin to avoid bites from the living dead.
On the down side, the motivation of the characters is muddled on all counts. Why does Leguizamo want money? Wouldn’t money be worthless in a world made up of the living dead? And if money is worthless, how does Hopper maintain his power? After a living dead apocalypse, how could anybody become a waiter in a restaurant (as depicted briefly inside Hopper’s luxury tower)? Do we feel sympathy for the zombies, or not? In all the other “Living Dead” movies, the zombies were a constant, claustrophobic threat. Here we’re invited to side with them, and they mostly look silly. Even worse, “Land of the Dead” has absolutely zero atmosphere. The pacing is so rapid that there’s barely enough time to think about what’s happening, let alone allow any suspense to build. I wanted to see more of the world oustide the perimeter of the city. Instead, we only get a glimpse of one small town where the zombies lurk. You know when zombies are going to attack, so it’s never a jolt, and I can’t remember a single shock in this movie, or even a moment when I cringed. The inevitable invasion of the safe zone should have been scary, but was rather unspectacular due to the editing. The social commentary is heavy-handed and has been overstated. The gore in the movie is R-rated, and the effects aren’t as good as Tom Savini’s makeup FX in “Day of the Dead”.
The other weird thing I noticed about this film is that it has “TV syndrome”. At times it is shot and edited like an episode of “ER”, as if it’s got to get a big story over and done with in an hour’s time slot. I don’t remember one single conversation in the film that was not underscored by a vague “ominous music” score that was completely unmemorable and didn’t belong there at all. None of the conversations seemed real, it was more like an episode of “Buffy the Zombie Slayer”.
I didn’t like “Land of the Dead” all that much. The remake of “Dawn of the Dead” was a lot more enjoyable; even though it was super-dumb, at least it had some good suspense in it, and some electric action sequences. “Land of the Dead” isn’t scary at all, and winds up being very dull. I’m suspecting that since this movie was made for a major studio, Romero was working within certain limitations that affected the outcome of the film. “Land of the Dead” should have been better, and ultimately the anticipation of it was a lot more exciting than the film itself.” –acidxian, imdb.com
Incredible satisfying.
Even viewing the trailers for this one I knew there was something I didn’t like about it, and thus I never bothered to go to the theater and watch it. I am a Romero fan however and since I own all of his zombie movies I had to buy it, even if I didn’t like it. As it turns out my expectations were correct. Though it is good I fins it to be the worse of all his zombie movies, even Diary IMO is better. The whole futuristic setup of the film just felt wrong, more like a Sci-Fi action movie than a horror. It wasn’t creepy in the slightest. I didn’t feel like I could ever be put in that situation, unlike in his other movies. In addition to that the movie is riddled with crappy CGI, does the movie have a lot of gore? Yes, but its more reminiscent of something from the Sci-Fi channel than a Romero movie. I like CGI when its good but bad CGI can really ruin the mood.
Not the best of the series, But still a Romero flick. Romero at his worst is still leagues above every other director who takes a stab at the zombie genre.
Great gore, great action, and an awsome continuation to the “Zombies are learning” plotline from day of the dead.
Finally his fourth entry arrived and didnt quite meet expectations but was very entertaining none the less. ends up being a bit similar to the remake of dawn of the dead, with the whole big vehicle plowing through zombies.
fun, entertaining, nothing tooo real original for a zombie film though, which was expected from george a. romero
I really liked this one. I liked seeing that after all the time that past the Zombie’s weren’t just soul-less, mindless monsters, they actually got pissed and fought back not just to terrorize but to get a bit of revenge!
Different from what I expected but it was just as good as I was hoping.
Different but damn Romero can make zombie movies
Decent at best.
Romero lost his touch.
The handful of redeeming scenes in this movie can’t save the rest of it.
Plenty of modern zombie movies have been made that are much much better then this.
He may have created the modern view of zombies today, but he should have just sat back and watched his contemporaries at work.
Overall, had the feel of a Sci-Fi Original Movie.
I hated this movie when I saw it the first time, but after seeing it again it kinda grew on me. my biggest problem is thinking zombies, there dead why would there brains work enough to think. and why dont zombies continue to rot and decay in these movies?
I liked it, but it was very slow-paced.
I don’t know why I liked this film so much, maybe it was because of a certain time in my life but I did like it. There is so great gore, cool zombies and some funny moments. Another great zombie film from Romero
This is one of his best plain and simple there is no arguing with me on this. Romero is my favorite director and when he came out with this movie in 05 i has happy.
I still like both this and Diary….what do people want from Romero??? He’s still head and shoulders above any other director of this genre.
just an o.k. movie. Not nearly as good as your last movies. Keep up the zombie movies romero. I still like them.
I don’t know why many people don’t like this movie, for me it’s much better than the other romero’s films. This is a relativley high-budget film with good acting and story, which was original. Zombie make-up is much better than Romero’s previous films and there is a lot of gore.
i hated this movie the 1st time i was really disappointing by all the CGI but after the second time watching it i stoped bitching about the CGI and payed more attention to the story and really liked it
The beginning of the end for Romero, methinks. Not too bad a movie, but it stopped being a zombie horror like the first 3 and turned into a (rather boring) action movie. Plus I thought that clever zombie Big Daddy was a rubbish idea. Diary’s slightly better but not by much. Let’s hope Island (or whatever it’s going to be called) sees Romero returning to form.
I’ll give this movie and extra point ’cause Asia Argento was lookin’ pretty fine in it.
It was good
A far cry from Romero’s earlier efforts in the genre, Land is just another glossy action movie with zombies. I gave it a 4, because I have seen it a few times, and I can’t think of one single scene that stands out in my memory. Forgettable.
I thought this movie was a great zombie film. Full of gore and of course zombies. Nothing did stand out but it was still a good zombie movie.
Storyline: Zombies to the human population are just a way of life they even have some on display that you can have your photo taken with. There is a safe place called fiddlers green where everyone wants to be and I can imagine why. Just a typical zombie film, shooting, eating, gore, violence and zombies. But these zombies are getting quite smart, they are learning how to bludgeon people to death with objects they can find such as baseball bats, iron pipes and golf clubs. They can even shoot guns now. 6/10
Acting: Average. 5/10
Special Effects: Really good, lots of blood, violence and gore that every zombie movie should have. The zombies looked cool aswell. 9/10
Best Scene: When the zombies invade fiddlers green. 9/10
Ending: The good guys save the day and some people from fiddlers green do survive. 5/10
Overall this movie was pretty good, just an average gory zombie movie but I like zombie movies and I give this one a 7/10
I dunno about this. I mean i know George is the man, and he cant keep making the same movie over and over……… But zombies communicating? It was funny in Return of the living dead(“BRAINS!”)
But not here. It takes the creepiness out of it. John Leguizamo is a fucking tool and a half and ruined every scene he was in. The retarted dude was fucking horrible too. Asia Argento slides by on her looks as usual. To be honest, dennis hopper brings the only good acting to this movie.
George (god bless him) is 113 years old this year, but the years have not been kind to his filmmaking.
This is where George takes his …Of The Dead movies big budget Hollywood with poor results. Sure, its has a big name cast but besides Dennis Hopper they’re all a rather annoying and uninteresting bunch. Simon Baker can act but his character is quite dull, John Leguizamo is a pain in the ass and Asia Argento just looks pretty. Even the story line being a metaphor for the Bush administration is rather flat,too. The zombies trying to communicate with each other just comes off as silly and the only thing saving this from half a skull are the gory set pieces. The zombie make up and effects look good and have evolved considerably from the blue face paint in his previous movies and the gory set pieces when they attack are still pretty sickening so George hasn’t entirely lost his mojo. It is definitely on the decline though.
The whole scene from beginning to end where the zombies rise up from the water one by one and then all form together and walk towards the camera is by far one of the greatest scenes i have ever witnessed in a film period! unbelievable scene…
This is the problem: Romero goes and gets big studio money to make a picture that he fills with quasi-stars and the whole thing falls apart. I didn’t like this movie and I waited forever for this thing to come out. The whole concept of Fiddler’s Green was ridiculous and so was the Leader Zombie. I liked Romero’s DIARY a whole lot better than I liked this one.
there should be no arguing about the fact that Romero is the undeniable “god” of zombie films and he should give classes on how tomake billions on them…
I like it all but the smart zombie. I understand that the comics were like that but c’mon, zombies are not supposed to be smart.
I saw the movie thinking that I would see the same quality as I saw in the remake of Dawn of the Dead… I was wrong. This movie tried to be a comedy, and failed. It really didn’t even bother with the scares. If the special effects were not done so well, I would easily believe this was just another Sci-Fi Channel throwaway movie. I didn’t much care for Diary of the Dead, but even that was better than this. It gets a 4 and not a 3 because of the gore and good special effects.
Disappointing entry following the ‘Dead’ trilogy. This definitely had its moments, but overall didn’t feel like a Romero zombie movie. I hated the CGI they used for head-shots and other effects. The “lead zombie” was fucking annoying the way he was always yelling like a retarded man. The idea that the zombies “learn” to use tools and guns is pretty lame. At least it’s better than ‘Diary of the Dead’.
Good movie.
thinking gang of zombies??? what a pile of crap ,dont give romero so much money so maybe he will make another good zombie movie!
other than the new york yankees, and rangers, george romero’s land of the dead is a perfect example of how you can have all the money in the world, and still suck. i love romero for taking voodoo mythos and creating the modern zombie, but this movie was just so half assed. every idea in this had promise,(other then intelligent and evolving zombies, that’s retarded and always will be) a last human city, a cool zombie killing vehicle, and an arena where unfortunate people have to fight zombies.
but everything is just so underdeveloped. why is dennis hopper the rich asshole in charge? why would money have any value? i could see some random military guy and his surviving troops running the city and keeping the civilian populace under control, but why some random rich guy? why are all the roads clear? in every scene? as if there wasn’t a society wide zombie apocalypse? there’s no wreckage? of any kind? wtf? why are the zombies intelligent? why are they playing musical instruments in the first five minutes? instantly loosing me in the process. intelligent zombies are retarded. sorry george, i understand that you’re saying humans are already zombies. and in some ways that’s true, but the way to depict this philosophical observation is not to have zombies acting like their former human selves, it’s dumb. and why in the hell is there a midget crime lord?! wtf!? nothing against midgets, but they’re not intimidating, and they can’t force regular size folk to do anything. so how did this particular midget assemble larger thugs to do his bidding? it’s not funny, it’s irritating. stop with the crime lord midgets for the love of god. the action scenes are bland and unmemorable, as well as irritatingly dumb at times. why does one, i assume somewhat trained, soldier slide down a rope into a horde of waiting zombies just off screen? he has no presence of mind or what? how did he live that long if he didn’t pay attention to his surroundings? i’ve never been impressed with romero’s directing ability, and the way this movie’s shot is just as uninspiring. uhhh, i love you mr. romero for what you’ve done in the past, but what the hell?
Probably my least favorite of the Romero Films, Comes Land of the Dead. This film had alot of great qualities about it, One, being Asia Argento. Second The Zombie Effects were phenomenal KNB were at the top of their game. Lastly the sets really did Look bleak and added to the eeriness of the film. But what brought this film down for me was the subpar acting. And though I do tend to like Leguizamo, I don’t feel his role in this film was adequate. I think the script lacked a special touch that I have yet to put my finger on. Was this film bad? no. Was it great? no. But was it Romero? yes…and that makes a huge difference. Its an enjoyable film, so long as you don’t expect another Night, Dawn, or Day.
a solid horror, i dont think it connects to day of the dead so well though
It’s good, it’s not really up to par w/ Romero’s other great works. But, it’s worth watching because it is entertaining.
Land of the Dead is another masterpiece of a zombie film given to us by George A. Romero, a visionary director who loves to lace his zombie horror with political allegories. This film is the fourth of his zombie saga and was his first zombie film since Day of the Dead back in 1985. Twenty years is enough time to come up with something new and exciting, and that is exactly what Romero delivers. It may not be the best of his zombie films, but it certainly is a good one. Unlike most horror films, the film takes place in medias res (in the middle of things), and the zombies have a society of their own that is periodically disrupted by the vigilante invasions by the survivors. I really liked this film, but there are problems. First off, I have no problem with walking zombies, but after a while, it starts to become very camp and less terrifying. Second, the acting by some of the actors could be considered decent or below that. The example of below that is Dennis Hopper, who I have much respect for, especially after watching Speed so many times when I was a kid. But, in this film, his acting gave off a very cheesy vibe and it was hard to take his character as a corrupt millionaire seriously. John Leguizamo, fortunately, was better. Like in most of the action/horror movies that he is in, he plays a macho asshole who wants to make things right, however he can do it. His acting is fairly decent and I could take him more seriously than Hopper. Third, does this movie have a centralized plot or is it just mindless zombie violence? I don’t mean to put the film down like that, but after watching this movie many times, I can’t find a plot. If anything, it is Simon Baker’s character trying to receive the huge, monster killing machine, Dead Reckoning, for Kaufman, Hopper’s character. Those sequences of events make up a majority of the film, but it is not enough to be called the central plot. Now, for the positives. First, I loved the political allegory that Romero chose for this film. In this case, it was capitalism (that may be wrong, but that is how I interpreted it). I believe it is a political allegory for capitalism because, even in bad times, the rich stay rich or get richer, and the poor stay poor or get poorer. And when all chaos breaks loose, the rich get FUCKED. Plus, no matter what happens, the social hierarchy will reign supreme. Second, although the walking zombies are campy, Romero makes them terrifying by giving the ability to swim, use weapons, communicate, and reason. To be honest, I would rather fight a zombie that runs rather than a walking zombie that knows how to fire a machine gun. Third, although some of the actors do not exactly display the best of performances, most of the actors do. Robert Joy does an excellent job playing Charlie. But, come on, how can someone who has seen this movie not love Charlie? Next to Ed from Shaun of the Dead, he is one of the most enjoyable characters from a zombie film. Simon Baker delivers a good performance as well, but Asia Argento steals the show. She does exceptionally well in her role as Slack. Finally, the gore is absolutely amazing. Not only did I like it because there was a lot, but because it looked very realistic, except for some things where CGI was involved. And I did not really like that one zombie whose head was almost cut from its body, but is able to swing it forward to attack. Obviously, Land of the Dead is not Romero’s best zombie film, but it is very refreshing considering it was his first in twenty years when it was made. Finally, I have one question, when are we going to get …of the Dead?
Ahhh! Romero is a genuis and legend… My favorite ZOMBIE film… How it isn’t rated higher is beyond me everything evolves in life, “WHY NOT ZOMBIES”… I saw this in the theater and fell in love personally thought to myself I can’t wait for the unrated verision and bought it the release date and am thrilled to own it… Great movie with a cast that makes it the movie it is… See it for yourself
I thought it was a great zombie movie
best zombie move !! i love it
Land Of The Dead is probably one of Romero’s best zombie movies. Everything you need is in this movie. Alot of gore, freaky zombie’s, great acting and a load of fast paced action. Romero is a legend, creating a piece of gory art like this, with fantastic visuals and a plot to die for. The acting, as said begore, is great. The zombie’s actually look, and sound like zombie’s should. The rest of the cast are also brilliant. It’s an all gore, gore fest of a movie. Land Of The Dead is one hell of a trip, so I highly reccomend!
8/10
romero is the shit thats all i’m sayin
Fun all the way through.
One of my top 15 zombie movies!
It has a good concept of the post-apocalyptic “class war” that is still going on and Dennis Hopper is always fun.
Only problem is Simon Baker who is boring as hell in this movie and I wanted his brains to get eaten by a zombie.
Not a classic, it could have been executed so much better. Watch Day of the Dead instead, which is way better than this.
When I first saw this in thearters I fuckin hated this movie, but since years have passed its kind of grown on me. Its packed with gore(just like every other Romero zombie flick)and the acting isn’t bad. Its still the least favorite of mine in the Romero Dead series. But if you like zombie flicks you’ll definetly need to check this out.
This movie was surprisingly pretty cool. Definetly had the Romero feel to it which i really liked. Alot of cool mutilations and the gore effects were really amazing. I recommend this movie to any zombie fan.
I usually agree with Mr. Disgusting but I dont know what was up his ass when he watched this movie. He reviewed it as if he invented the zombie, or zombies have to follow his terms of zombie reality. All the hate for “hero” zombie is uncalled for… he was actually the best zombie in the film. This movie kicks ass and you should definitley watch it if you havent already.
This is a top knotch zombie flick right here. LOVED IT!
All zombie purism and correctness set aside, this is an entertaining film that has cool undead action and bloody gore. The zombies and kills were both done well. Big whoop about big names in the cast and all–no name actors would have pulled this off just as well since the zombies are the stars anyway.
This film was o.k. There is some great zombie action, and Romero takes the “dead” story in to new and interesting directions, but the acting wasn’t that great. And overall it felt like a b-movie.
very gooooooooooooooood.
Solid Romero release. It has some partsa that are funny, has pretty good acting and is a great zombie movie. It is his usual stroke of genius and i hope it doesn’t get messed up. Watch this movie by all means, there is a pretty good chance of enjoying it
Great zombie film really enjoyed this release from Romero.
I loved this movie. Seeing it in theaters was one of my favorite zombie memories. I think it easily stands up to Romeros ‘Original Trilogy.’ It’s not without its flaws, but what movie is?
Really dig the locations in this movie. The apocalypse looks rightfully gloomy.
This movie features a LOT of gore. And its definitely got the biggest feasting scenes of all-time. (My personal favorite feasting scenes are in this movie.)
Some really great moments in this one. The zombies rising out of the water. The scene with the flashlights and handguns in the warehouse. Savinis character returning to cause some havoc.
And though some of the actors are a bit bigger, I liked Romeros choices. Dennis Hopper is the shit. And I don’t have any issues with Leguizamo.
Cool story, cool ideas, and great execution. The biggest downfall would be the zombies becoming too intelligent, or at least way too much of the movie is focused on that.
‘Land of the Dead’ is a 2005 Zombie movie, which is the fourth film of the living dead series by George A. Romeo, the genre Horror, Sci-Fi, Action & Thriler were prefect for this type of movie, as the Horror/Thriller was scary, full on blood/guts & made me jump alot, Sci-Fi was excellent & the Action was full on human & zombie action packed fun, the style, theme, element & texture were somewhat cool & somewhat ok, the driecting by George A. Romeo in this famous series of films from this movie was pretty aswome direction that he did.
action packed from start to finish. It was a lot of fun to watch. It looked nice and gloomy and the zombie make up was outstanding. Seeing all those zombies line up at the pier was an orgasmic sight for horror fans. Definitely give this one a go folks!
Definatly given too much crap by fans when it was released.
I felt like Romero stuck true to the original idea that he had for zombies.
A great zombie film.
I Loved It But The Fact That Zombies knew How To Use Weapons.. Not So Classic
didn’t really like this one. don’t know why, but just can’t get into it.
It was ok I own it on DVD The Unrated Cut
I Rate
It
4/10 Sorry George Romero
Alright but nothing great.
The effectiveness of a zombie movie depends purely on what you do with the zombies. The undead can roam the streets, feed on flesh, but so what? Are they merely there to moan, get shot, and die, or are they there for, perhaps, something more? I think George A. Romero, king of the zombies, knows the answer to that question. He also knows how to make a good zombie film; and he’s always been good at doing so. What I enjoy about Romero’s films is that they act as both horror films and commentary on society, politics, and people. Romero has taken this approach with vampires, ghouls, and zombies alike.
“Land of the Dead” is one of the more recent Romero zombie flicks, and it’s also the best of the lot. Perhaps this is because it reminded me so much of a toned-down-in-quality offering of “Dawn of the Dead”. Obviously, “Land of the Dead” isn’t as good as that film, but it’s the best thing Romero has done since his “Dawn of the Dead”/”Martin” days, so it’s good news that he’s made yet another worthwhile flick.
While the humans have been finding new ways to kill the zombies, the zombies have been finding new ways to kill the humans. Yes, my friends, you heard right; the undead humanoids from epidemic hell are evolving; and there’s a black zombie, in this film, that so much as totes a gun.
The survivors are Cholo (John Leguizamo), Riley (Simon Baker), Slack (Asia Argento), and various others. Of course, I can’t name all of them, because just as there are many zombies, there are also many survivors. Basically, this is your typical tale of zombie-apocalypse-survival, but with a nice, taut twist via George Romero.
The film isn’t flawless. I don’t know what flaws it has, exactly, but they are present; and I can feel them creeping up on me. But of course, I appreciate the work being done here, and “Land of the Dead” is a spectacularly entertaining undead-feature from the king himself. Fans of Romero’s early work will probably admire “Land of the Dead” for its often successful attempts to return to those happier days, while non-horror junkies might find stuff to like too. The film uses zombies as social commentary and satire; just as “Dawn of the Dead” did ever-so-brilliantly. “Land of the Dead” isn’t exactly brilliance, but it’s clever; and that’s more than I needed.
Of course, you need lots of meat with buckets of blood on the side when you have your zombie-movie meal. You can’t have a zombie movie without blood. I go to zombie movies- or at least casual ones- to see zombies eat people and often times act kind of silly. This is what I got out of the move-watching experience that “Land of the Dead” provides the audience with, and that is what I liked about it. The gore here is especially gruesome, which is good and devoid of any complaints on my part, and for that I’m glad. There’s also some genuinely effective scares and creepy-moments; which again, is also quite good. But the fact that Romero injects his typical wit and humor into this film, even so many years later, is almost incredible. Most horror filmmakers forget to do that; even if they are, officially, legends.
When it all comes down to it, “Land of the Dead” is a lot of fun. It has a good look and feel to it, there are some good stand-out performances (one of them coming from the late Dennis Hopper), and it’s good to see Romero back to what he always loved doing. And he’s good at what he does; it’s just that there are some of his recent films that I just don’t like. But hey: at least I’m not alone. And while “Land of the Dead” is not a genre mile-stone, few horror films are, thus, it is forgivable; and most certainly enjoyable. Out of respect, I’m awarding “Land of the Dead” a recommendation, and I’ll leave it at that.
Hell yeah George, show ‘em how its done.

The first indicator that the new Trilogy of the Dead will not be as great as everyone tought it would be.
A strong entry into the genre Romero created. I saw this one in theaters when it was released and it blew me away. Almost if not as good as Day of the Dead. Easily the best out of Romero’s new trilogy; it will steal your heart..and eat it.
an interesting zombie movie. What if zombies could think, make decisions, and lead? Great special effects, but not much else that’s great.
Another great Romero Zombie Flick!Awesome cast,great gore,and cool plot.Adds a twist with how thet Zombies are thinking.Dennis Hopper was classic!A must own for any Zombie/Romero fan!
I really liked this movie, it is definitely one of my favourite zombie movies.
