World War Z: My Views THN



MY views on WWZ, right i don't mind infected type zombies we know there's two types of zombies now and they are here to stay, my MAIN gripe about it though is the liberties they've taken with the book.
Max Brooks uses slow zombies for a start, this i'll give a little creative lenience too OK. now the book is just reports from people who fought in the war and first hand accounts.
The film is right there happening, again taken a liberty and ran with it as some people just recounting would be boring like a documentary with archive footage not very exciting for the masses is it.
Now i admit there some people who take a book/comic/etc and can really feel the essence of it and peel back layers yet still still hold true to it, these people i feel respect the genre and respect the book etc.
Like batman Christopher Nolan did an ace job he took batman changed it enough to appeal yet still had that essence there, yes some people didn't like it but it just shows the difference between the George Clooney staring one why he just tried to make it kidified because he obviously thought comics were for children so just add some good effects and spangly silver bits to the armor and hammy acting.
I'm sure you get what i'm getting at anyway.
My MAIN liberty taken is including this stupid fucking tidal wave of zombies, yes they wanted to do something new and scary and yes a tidal wave of zombies is fucking terrifying.
But not in this film, also from a scientific point of view and i know you may think asking for realism in a zombie film?
Well yes sorry that's the way my mind works it would have worked in another film i would have accepted it, but again Brooks writes about the z-poc in our world and in our world physics, a tidal wave of zombies like that?
I'm sorry but that = a lot of dead, dysfunctional crushed zombies left in the wake. IF the film shows this mind which it may actually do i will love it with the realism it is.
under any other name this might have for me been a pretty decent zombie flick to enjoy big screen as it stands i have a lot of fears and gripes that may be for nothing.
What i can say is i am looking forwards to it for both those reasons bring it on Mr Pitt
