Reviews of Dawn of the Dead 2004

At least as good as the original

This is the movie that made me just stop blindly hating modern remakes before seeing it for myself. I wanted to hate it from the moment I heard it was being made. Remaking the greatest movie ever made? Blasphemy. I ended up loving it though. They did what I think good remakes do...you take the central idea (ie zombies / mall) and then make your own movie.

Die ganz obere Liga des erwachsenen Filmvergnügens. Ein unverwüstliches Setting, Anarchie an allen Ecken und der Untergang der Menschheit, wie er bei einer Zombieapokalypse wohl nicht unterhaltsamer laufen könnte. Überzeugende Schauspieler und eine bis zum letzten Schnitt spannende Story sorgen dafür, dass dieser Film mich auch beim mittlerweile nicht mehr gezählten, wiederholten schauen immer noch grandios unterhält.

Dat acting. Dat score. Dat character development. Dat ending. Brilliant!

nowadays hated snyders first movie is fast paced survival horror with fast angry zombies, great cast and dark humor and stunningly shot... the scene when ana sees the carnage in front of her house for the first time is amazing...

Absolute classic! One of my all time favourite films

the best remake around i think
awesome -
Easily one of the top zombie movies to date. The opening was insanely well done, and the ending through the credits made me wish the movie would never have to end.

OK, this has its flaws ("I need to rescue Chips") and some of the characters aren't given any time (step forward the hot blonde who appears out of nowhere to have sexy time with the cliched arsehole) but it is really enjoyable and has one of the most visually stunning openings I've ever seen.

DVD: This has to be one of my all time favorite zombie films. It is because of the movie that I now give SOME remakes the benefit of the doubt. Watching it this time, I realize that this film is great in so many respects: story, character, score, cinematography, editing, make-up, set design, ect.
This is easily director Snyder's best film. I hope someday he re-visits this genre and puts a halt to all the fan boy comic book adaptations he's made since this. -
this is my fave remake ever and is the blueprint of what zombie films should be. good dialogue, fast zombies that you are actually afraid of. and a vibe of utter hopelessness. I F'N love this movie.

Dare I say it, better than the original. Which I also count as one of my favourite films.
