Army of the Dead

Chessy, corny, boring storyline, terrible acting (not all of them, but still), has absolutely no meaning, no lesson learned. It's supposed to be some kind of action film about a heist, I guess, but don't even enjoy watching the action. Too long, you can cut half of the screen time and still understand what's going on.

4/10 is a stretch because I'm in a good mood.

I felt the urge to stop watching during that extremely long intro credits montage, but felt that wouldn't be fair. So I kept watching. The urge never went away. What a lame movie. Just terrible. I should have quit at the beginning.

The story is somewhat taking, but the daughter is just very annoying that it makes me angry.

A lot about this movie was hammed up/ hyped up in the media. It did have a couple well known actors in it fer sure, but only 2 or 3 at most.

Aside from that, it has a number of tropes in it that people will recognize from zombie horror, and combined with the action and gore and elements of the undead at times, it was a pretty decent film.

That being said, the drawbacks, thoguh few, happened frequently enoguh to deter from what could have been a more spectacular zombie film to add to the genre in a memorable way.

One thing that always drags down zombie and horror in general: TOO MUCH TALKING.

This is what mad the Walking Dead show go from a great cool unique watch, to another survival drama that only sometimes amped things up.

Army of The Dead has waaay too many scenes of nedless conveersation instead of more cool or even campy risks taken with the zombies and gore.

All around the film is a 6/10 because of what worked for the genre of film involving a bit of action and the undead, but it just barely slid by with that score at best.

Lazy script, lazy direction, lazy acting and screen play.

It is difficult to watch complete movie without getting irritated.
