Fleischer's film is beautifully shot (his slow-mo sequences are stunning), engaging, funny, heartfelt and more importantly F-U-N. If you're looking for a movie that has it all, Zombieland is a season pass worth picking up.
Harrelson's unexpected line readings and reactions sometimes elevate Zombieland to a level of inspired nonsense worthy of Shaun of the Dead.
It's got nothing on its mind beyond pleasing you from scene to scene, set piece to set piece, and director Ruben Fleischer ladles on just enough style to make it all fun...
I highly recommend Zombieland to anyone with an offbeat sense of humor and an unnatural craving for Twinkies.
A killer comedy with a vicious sense of humor. The running undead look fantastic and are dispatched in a never-ending, ever-evolving innovative shopping list of carnage. You'll applaud every crunch.
I'll wait for real critics. Most horror movies get early rave reviews from horror sites on RT, and then get trashed when the rest of the opinions come out.
That said, I really want this movie to be good.

Who the fuck cares? Paper critics always shit on horror and genre films.
Opening day :rock
Yeah, I'm going in expecting a poor man's Shaun of the Dead.
But that's still better than JENNIFER'S BODY.
Is Shaun of the Dead really that beloved?
Is Shaun of the Dead really that beloved? Or is the tremendous goodwill towards it just the product of being a good movie in a genre that was rarely represented at the time of its release?
I remember liking it at the time, but I caught it on cable recently and it just seemed kinda stupid. "Oh hee hee, they are throwing records at teh zomebies".
Yeah, it's really that good. And Hot Fuzz is even better.
Hot Fuzz got better upon subsequent viewings (I really hated it when I saw it the first time)Me too. I saw it with the wife in the theater and I didn't care for. Bought the DVD when it came out and I love the film now. I don't know if I would rate it higher than Shaun, but it is still great in its own right
They're both awesome. I don't know why we have to rank them.cuz we're on the internet.
hot fuzz is better than shaun of the dead. >:(
It's got Woody Harrelson killing zombies. Not sure what could go wrong there.
On a side note, I watched Snyder's 2004 Dawn of the Dead the other night, and it really is the best zombie film ever made, hands down.
Shaun of the dead wasn't that funny.

It isn't even as good as the original, and not even the best zombie film this decade!
Shaun of the dead wasn't that funny.
Why do you still post?
The original didn't have any moments as poignant as the scene with the death of the ginger girl's dad, or any moments as creatively awesome as the zombie pregnancy.smh
Shaun of the dead wasn't that funny.

Why do you keep being such an asshole?
Dude, the zombie pregnancy was the worst part about Snyder's remake. :lol
It's difficult to talk much more about the film without divulging the identity of its super-secret guest star, who walks in halfway through and evokes one of those cartoons where Daffy Duck would stop the action and browbeat his producers. Suffice it to say that the appearance transforms a sloppy, charmingly gooshy flick into one of the most unexpectedly entertaining movies in recent memory. Now let it die, already.
not really, zombie stories where human behavior is more dangerous than the zombies themselves are awesome, see for example The Walking Dead.
So I was reading The Stranger's review, and there's a surprise twist guest star in this film...QuoteIt's difficult to talk much more about the film without divulging the identity of its super-secret guest star, who walks in halfway through and evokes one of those cartoons where Daffy Duck would stop the action and browbeat his producers.

I was wondering about that too and apparently the movie has been moved to a Thanksgiving release ;_; . It had been placed as an October 10th release originally.
goddammit, why did I click that spoiler?spoiler (click to show/hide)There's a ghostbuster reference, isn't there?[close]

There is a big GB reference. It's not so much a reference but more of a "holy shit Ghostbuters is awesome" montage.
goddammit. I wanna see this.

You haven't heard about who the cameo is yet?
Jesse wins though cause chick in zombieland >>>>>>>> juno
THIS MOVIE IS FUCKING AWESOME
WATCHING PIRATED COPY NOW
There's a good rip out?
Plus this Jesse Eisenberg fellow can grow facial hair.
... but it is not a very coherent narrative, and you can definitely tell it started life as a television show.
Wait, what?
On the whole though, doesn't compare to Shaun of the Dead.
Wait, what?
What are you questioning - my criticism that meanders at times or that it started life as a television show?
jesus fucking christ i am not buying it with that fucking tagline at the bottom. for fucks sake
Who the fuck cares about the quotes on cover art? You are buying the movie, not the disc jacket.
Oh and thats not biasm, thats just saying that Sony and Nintendo were smart with doing white / clear cases smh.

I'm buying the whole package. It's going to be displayed on a shelf. It's the same reason I bought the UK Battlestar release over the US one. If the UK has been more expensive I still would have opted for it because of the packaging.
huhYeah, you're right. I should just give up hope that you'd use words that exist. Words from any single language, in happy marriage, a harmonious, contiguous sentence.
