Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead

Opens strong but slows down after 45 minutes. Gets to be quite boring unlike dawn of the dead. It's suppose to be funny but it isn't. Zombies seem to suddenly stop running and get stupider as the days go by. It's ok if you have a couple of hours on your hand but not worth a rewatch. Acting was ok but nothing great. I never felt a connection to any of the main characters. Make up of the zombies was top notch however. Ending was also very predictable. There are far more better zombie films out there. And the bucket list probably wouldn't be on the top ones list if they were in the middle of zombie apocalypse. Just saying.

Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead: Akira Tendo is a bit like a zombie alrady, yet another corporate drone, overworked, he's the type who would welcome any apocalypse. When the zombie Apocalypse arrives at first he just combats the zombies, intent on not being late for work, then he realises that he is free from such tyranny. He encounters some disappointments at first, but links up with others to embark on a series of escapades including Akira'a bucket list. There's a downside, some wish to continue the regimentation of the old life in refuges from the apocalypse. A story how crises cause some people to change their attitudes but others double down on their bad sides. It features a great Zombie Shark and believable human zombies. In spite of it being a comedy some of the deaths are all too realistic as the zombies eat people alive or turn them. It's far too long and drawn out though with too many cardboard cut out supporting characters who dial their roles in. A 2h 8m film which might have worked at 90 minutes. Directed by Yûsuke Ishida, written by Haro Aso, Tatsuro Mishima & Kotaro Takata. On Netflix. 5.5/10.

I am 100% certain that this movie is a plain and loyal adaption from a Japanese anime. With respect, there could be no one on Earth, other than the Japanese, that could have such a culture and write such a story. Consider it as a compliment, guys. Everything is so original and yet so foreign. So here is my 5 cents: If someone is not into Japanese culture, then that a movie could be skipped for sure. Otherwise give it a greenlight as it is really exotic.

Nothing makes sense in the movie. I know zoms don't make any good sense neither. But if you compare it with other zom movies or series like Army of the Dead, La Revolution or Kingdom on Netflix, then your can easily see that the whole plot fell flat from most aspects. What is worse, the acting really forced me to roll my eyes up. Many times i squeezed my eyebrows and asked myself: What'a hell is that??? The dialogues are so cliche that I really wonder if the Japanese would say that in real life? Really, talk about philosophy in a fierce argument? I switched to Eng dub coz I really can't tolerate their dialogue tone. The Japanese dub has such an exaggerated tone!

I gave it 5 stars coz it is so original and so different from the other zom movies. It's fun to watch. Its very exotic. However, to be honest it's no way a superb contender in the zombie genre.

People who don't watch Japanese Cinema or people who wants deep philosophical meaning in a fun movie should watch scorsese not this. I am a Hollywood fan but Japanese Cinema has it's charm... Over the top Energy and all around fun time. From Alice in Borderland to confessions to kamikaze girls... Japanese cinema is such unique experience... So stop listening to such fake so called cinephiles... And enjoy this. It's just a great popcorn flick with fun time all around! And Yes all the other japanese cinema that I named here. You should check them out too. Japan is not just about anime but cinema is great too. Akira Kurosawa was legend who inspired everyone... Yet Japanese cinema is still underrated due to people being ignorant or like negative comments... Not understanding the difference between fun film and serious film.

It's hard to fathom how a movie with such a promising concept could go so incredibly wrong. Zom 100 turns out to be an absolute disaster in every aspect. From the lackluster story to the amateurish direction, this movie fails to conjure up even an ounce of excitement or entertainment.

Adding fuel to the fire, the acting is atrociuosly wooden. Every character in Zom 100 delivers their lines with zero emotion or conviction, resulting in an overall lack of engagement with the audience. There was no attempt to develop any meaningful character arcs, leaving us with a bunch of cardboard cutouts wandering aimlessly amidst the chaos.

In conclusion, 'Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead' is an utter disappointment. It lacks an engaging story, decent acting, effective special effects, and competent direction. The movie's potential is absolutely squandered, leaving viewers regretful of wasting their time on such an abysmal production. Save yourself from this zombie apocalypse and steer clear of this catastrophic mess.

It was rather cringey than funny.
