Land of the Dead - Boooo 5/10
Discussion
What a complete disappointment.
It didn't feel like George A Romero was even on set directing, it felt like that pillock Paul Anderson directed this...and if he did I wouldn't have felt so betrayed.
The opening title sequence seemed quite cool, but a little flashy for Romero's style of opening...I thought ah ok, something a little newer... After first 30 seconds I knew it was going to be poor. The camera lens' used didn't work to great, the choice of music and sound fx was terrrible and completely unoriginal for his caliber of direction. This really did feel like an immature, generic, modern sellout style of film.
Im not sure on the funding for this film but if it was from Universal, I do hope they realise his name has been tarnished.
If you want something better to do with your time, I suggest reading:
The Cinema of George A.Romero: Knight of the Living Dead (Directors' Cuts) ~ Tony Williams
