The Zombie Critic
Zombieland (2009)

Talk about an over hyped movie, Zombieland was just.. meh.  Though you can’t really compare it to a Romeroesque style zombie flick since it’s probably classified as a Zomedy, it’s still over-rated in my opinion, likely due to it’s big marketing budget and cachet of the two stars, Woody Harrelson and a clumsy Michael Cera knock-off.  Granted it was ok, the characters are likable, the “rules” are a nice touch and there is a pleasant surprise cameo towards the end.  However, for comparison, it still doesn’t hold a candle to the likes of Shaun of the Dean or what I believe to be one of the most-underrated zomedies of the last decade: Dance of the Dead.  Zombieland has it’s moments but surely didn’t strike me with rigor mortis.
