Clocking in at 76% so far.
Glad it doesn't suck. |
Yeah while Im glad its getting good reviews, it sucks its a PG 13 movie. Thats a complete slap in the face to the book imo. oh well I may get around to seeing it.
|
This movie isn't even about the book except the name if I recall.

I am reallly excited for this movie and am curious to see their origin of whatever it is that caused the zombies as well as their characteristics.

On a side note, I need to write a book because it seems they only make movies from books now. I am thinking a vampire love story with zombies. They will eat that up. In Twilight, did the books have blank pages to represent the long drawn out stares between characters? I need to learn the tricks of the trade. |

As a stand alone movie, World War Z looks to be a decent big budget zombie action flick. As someone who has read the book the movie is named after, the movie looks to be a disaster, especially considering the PG-13 rating. I'll likely still see it, but my hopes are definitely NOT up for this one. (And if you're any kind of zombie fan, pick up the book. Easy read and entertaining as hell. Do it after you see the movie, though...) |
Yup, still plan on seeing it.
|
If the movie gets above a 60% ill likely go see it for mindless fun.
|
It's got some decent reviews from a few top critics. I was surprised. I'll pass on it though until DVD. IMO, it's like zombie light for the masses.

You do know that very rarely does a movie live up to a book. |

I guess I'm just a fanboy of the book? |
I really want to see the scene from the book when the celebrities doing the reality show in a mansion get over run by people and zombies.
That would be an awesome movie scene. |

"It's uneven -- and fans of the book may be annoyed by how thoroughly it diverges from the source material -- but World War Z still brings smart, fast-moving thrills and a solid performance from Brad Pitt to the zombie genre." I may have to see this, i didn't expect this to land in the fresh area. I also didn't expect Man of steel to be rotten |
Here in Topeka they're having this movie show tonight at 8:00pm.
Interesting. |
Just got tickets for tonight's show.

I've seen shows at midnight, but not at 8 pm the day before it actually comes out. |

But, I've only read about half of the book, FWIW. |

Don't give anything away though. Also when you leave the theater give your thoughts on how the audience liked or didn't like the movie as well. |
Quote:
But, it is going to be hard to compare it to the book for me - since I've really only read ~1/2 of it or so. |

Hmmmn....

Again, I've not read the entire book.
So, here it goes:

Alright just got back from watching the movie and here's my take.
And yes, I've read the book, the movie just borrowed the title of the book is about all it has in common. So quit reading this review if that is going to make you fuss and throw a tantrum and hold your breath until your face turns blue. **** NO SPOILERS BELOW/SAFE TO READ **** The movie is suspenseful and intense from the beginning but not very gory and bloody to get the PG-13 ratings. I never found the movie to lag it kept moving holding your interest. The casting of the main characters was solid, though most of them had relatively small parts outside of Brad Pitt. The acting was good throughout and the CGI I had no complaints with at all, impressive actually. I like zombie movies in general and I think this one is up there with the best of them, with many more locations in this then holed up on a farm, at a Mall or an amusement park. Very pleased with the pace of the movie and it was sprinkled throughout with hoards of zombies attacking mercilessly the people of the world. The ending could have been better but was alright. Outside of this movie not being based on the book (almost an impossible task if you ask me) I would give it 4/5 stars. My perception afterwards to the audience leaving the theater were positive. |
No Imax on this in Kansas City?
|
We saw this last night and really liked it. The entire audience seemed pleased and the movie received quite a few applauses at the end.
|
Heard so many good things about the book. I'd like to get my hands on it before seeing the movie
|
I liked it. A sequel would be better positioned to follow the book but since they had so many issues with this one I'm guessing that part 2 isn't in the cards.
|
I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, but I do love me some modern zombie takes. Love Walking Dead, 28 days series, Zombieland (of course). So take it fwiw.

Good movie. Full of action and suspense. My only complaint is the open-ended conclusion, but clearly they're planning a sequel.
I said I wouldn't see this, but my son talked me into it (I'm not much for the whole zombie thing). I'm glad he did. |

This movie was really damn good.

we liked it. never read the book. the fact that the airplane they were flying on kept changing from scene to scene from a C-130 to something else bugged the hell out of me though. Inexcusable for a production like this.

World War Z is not the best zombie movie ever, but it is a pretty good one. I was not disappointed.

I liked the movie (aside from the fact that it really wasn't WORLD WAR Z), but I have a few bones to pick with the movie...
Spoiler!

Goodness. I am glad I didn't overanalyze THAT much. But, alas, I've not read the entire book. So I can understand why WWZ bookies would probably be upset at the movie just using the name.
But, well said Ebola. |
I should also mention there is pretty much no gore at all. Its more grown-up than the usual zombie movie, older kids could probably watch it.

Almost want to refuse to see it altogether because of this stupid zombie phenomenon that everybody thinks is so cool.

I only saw the film because my teenage son wanted to. You don't have to be into the zombie phenomenon to appreciate the film. If ANYONE isn't a zombie stan, it's me. Go check it out. I'm glad I did. |

again, Pitt wasn't trying to make a vaccine IMHO. His plan was to infect, likely with something curable or at a level that was survivable. |

haven't read the book, but not sure how people expected them to adapt it to a movie without creating a single protagonist.

oh well...I think I'm going tonight. Ive worked with this one guy for over 20 years. if he hates a movie I usually like it and vice versa. welp....he hated it! :thumb: |
The word is that the studio completely overhauled the original ending at the last minute to one that would be more of a "audience pleaser"

Hell, they could have done it like they did Stand By Me or Fight Club. A narrator over some parts and mostly flashbacks... |
They should have used a different title. At least it would leave the door open for a "True" World War Z movie.
No battle of Yonkers? :facepalm: |
Sequel seems likely..........
http://hereisthecity.com/2013/06/25/...al-box-office/ World War Z earns sequel after gobbling up global box office Brad Pitt zombie apocalypse movie World War Z, which has been mired in bad press and was predicted to be one of the year's biggest turkeys, is to get a shock sequel after storming the global box office at the weekend, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Director Marc Forster's loose adaptation of the Max Brooks novel about the aftermath of a worldwide zombie pandemic took a highly impressive $118.8m (£77.3m). While it opened at No 2 in the US behind Pixar animated prequel Monsters University, the film's $66m (£43m) haul in the world's most profitable territory was the best for an original live-action movie there since Avatar. Studio Paramount said the film was now certain to get a followup. Such comments allude to the extensive rewrite – reportedly of the entire 40-minute third act – undertaken by Lost creator Damon Lindelof after World War Z had wrapped for the first time last year. A Vanity Fair feature published in May suggested that Pitt and director Marc Forster were refusing to talk to each other on set by the end of production, and hinted at an amateurish approach that saw the film's budget balloon to a reported $400m. It is now widely accepted that the true figure is closer to $200m, though World War Z will still need to continue its impressive box-office run at some pace to have a hope of recovering its costs. Pitt, who plays a UN worker torn between protecting his family and finding a cure for the zombie infection, hinted at a sequel during the film's Moscow premiere last week. "There is enough [material] to mine from the book," he said. "We could barely get a fraction of the book in [this movie]. So we'll see. We'll see." |
saw it last night.
I liked it. very much. it's very surprising the LACK of gore and blood. a good story doesn't NEED it...but imo could be enhanced with a little EWWWWW. the things they show on Walking Dead.....good GRIEF!!!! nothing like that in this movie. good flick.....good story. I'm the king of knowing who some dude is in a bit part....and I TOTALLY missed that Matthew Fox was in this albeit however briefly! :facepalm: I did have to crack up when...

Brad Pitt dodging explosion , surviving airline crashes, and miraculously finding a WHO building after hiking for days while impelled with a shiv..oh did I mention he out ran zombies just three days after being impelled? ..movie was okay
