It is the third zombie movie this year alone. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is coming out in two years. Zombieland (2009) and Shaun of the Dead (2004) were probably the best reviewed zombie movies of recent decades. Critics have never liked the big budget films much, but this year, there are only 7 popular movies on Rotten Tomatoes list of top 100 movies according to critics. World War Z made the list (but just barely). 36. 87% Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) 237 reviews 54. 80% Warm Bodies (2013) 174 reviews 62. 78% Iron Man 3 (2013) 267 reviews 63. 77% 42 (2013) 141 reviews 64. 77% Monsters University (2013) 131 reviews 92. 67% World War Z (2013) 202 reviews 95. 66% Mama (2013) 143 reviews Critics have been reasonably positive about JJ Abrams, in particular they like the Star Trek movie. They hated Armageddon 2009 95% Star Trek : Producer Director 2013 87% Star Trek Into Darkness : Producer Director 2011 82% Super 8 : Producer/Screenwriter/Director 2001 74% Joy Ride : Screenwriter 2006 70% Mission: Impossible III : Director/Screenwriter 1992 53% Forever Young : Screenwriter 1991 44% Regarding Henry : Screenwriter 1998 39% Armageddon : Screenwriter George A Romero, who basically invented the zombie genre, has not gotten very good reviews for his newer zombie movies. 1968 96% Night of the Living Dead 1978 94% Dawn of the Dead 1985 81% Day of the Dead 2005 74% Land of the Dead 1990 68% Night of the Living Dead 2007 62% Diary of the Dead 2009 30% Survival of the Dead |

Movies about Zombies... hey... they've been 'hot' recently. What ever a Zombie is... there have been zombie movies and zombie dances and Madonna just said something about zombies last week so go out and get some films about zombies. I saw something last week about playing zombie music on a saw so it will be real easy to get zombies and saws together, sounds like a plan, maybe even a concept. Go for it!! |

The movie "Big Ass Spider" actually got 18 good reviews and 5 bad ones on rotten tomatoes. That's a decent ratio. A lot better than "Ender's Game" which is also a monster movie, but that cost $110 million to produce and sold only 7 million tickets. |

I think the NY Times can be overly intellectual. I loved that movie, and even knowing that Joss Whedon is going to try to stand the horror movie concept on end with a scholarly, nerdy, sensibility doesn't spoil the way that he completes the movie. |

Fleastiff Member since: Oct 27, 2012 Threads: 62 Posts: 7831 | With the popularity of these Real Life Marathons, Hollywood should turn to making Reality Movies. As actual propositions with Johns, some directors have had bank robbery scenes without notifying the local police and the passersby on the street. One of these days realism will get someone shot. |
