I always appreciate it when a TV/movie sticks to the original version, a comic book in this instance. If you love the comic book series (which I do and have read every issue printed) you will no doubt be hooked immediately. I always enjoy a good zombie film but they always lacked the really good storyline found in The Walking Dead comic.
Before anyone thinks 'ok this guy is just another zombie fan', for the record, my wife watched episode 1 with me, she hates zombie films and does not understand why I like them. After watching the first episode she has become a fan.
A warning however - there are scenes of graphic brutality and gore so if you are easily offended this is not for you. I think that because the storyline is so good the punchy scenes really have a lot of impact unlike some zombie films that are very boring due to their overused gory scenes and little story.
Episode 2 cant come quick enough for me

Let me just say straight away that the cast of this movie contains ALL of my favorite actors. I thought I was going to be in for a treat, maybe my expectations ruined my conclusions.
The biggest problem with this film (in my worthless opinion) is that it is portrayed as dramatic and yet there just seem to be soooooo many holes in the plot that the overall impact is reduced, almost to the point of being farcical. I won't give anything away but I don't believe that 'gangsters' are THAT stupid, I watched the TV show 'The Wire', which I thought was excellent due to it's balanced perspective. This film portrays the cops as being crooked, lifeless and aggressive morons whilst the 'gangster' are simply gun toting foul mouthed idiots who struggle to walk upright, let alone be career criminals.
By the time the final scene began I found myself struggling to stay awake because the 'drama' had become so Tepid and predictable.
Very very average.

I asked my 11 year old and 7 year old daughters what they thought of this film. They both loved it.
The 3 on IMDb is a bit misleading. This is a film for children, not a campaign to win an Academy Award! Obviously there are people out there who take things a little toooooo seriously when rating kid's movies.
My 11 year old daughter writes the following: the movie was great. i love the sounds of those little voices. why are kids films usually getting a 2,3,4? the film the music, adventure,scenes were all entertaining for me.
Remember folks, this is a film for children, the chipmunks have been around for more than 30 years so they must be doing something right. If you want to over analyze a film then do a search on the French new age section and go your hardest, on the other hand if you are looking for pure entertainment for your under 12's then go no further.
