"A few years ago on here there was a book thread and someone highly recommended The Book WORLD WAR Z. They also did an excellent anslysis of the evolution of the Zombie genre. I read World War Z as a result and it was a genuinely brilliant book. You could find a allegory in covid if you had a creative mind. Anyway, I can remember the poster but they said that in WWZ and all the original Zombie movies the Zombies moved slowly. That all changed in 28 days later I believe. It does change the dynamics of avoiding them. A good film is a good film no matter what the genre is."

"I've never liked zombie films for the simple reason I think when you commit to watching a film a film it needs to at least resemble real life in some shape or form or I fail to really see the point, just a personal thing. Fwiw, i think the best zombie film was Dusk to Dawn with Clooney."

"Train to Busan is one of the most memorable films I've ever seen. Because it's also one of the most ridiculous films ever made, pure 100% tosh."

"Sold - Sorry, but you only have exposed yourself as someone who is happy with any old shit. I turned it off after 40 mins. As I have said to you before you have this obsessive personality where you must see everything that is mainstream or you feel like you are missing out. You also have to watch 'Oscar films' as soon as is viably possible. As you say, each to ones own."

I’m going through my memory banks at all the other Zombie films I have seen to see if there has been a character I gave a fuck about…… Errr …. Nope… one thing you normally find with Zombie films is that the cast gets eaten….

"Oops! Your insistence in using the narrowest depth of field is utterly fucking exhausting to watch. Stringing out what is essentially a B movie to what the director thinks is worth two and a half hours of someone's time is ridiculous. Meshing a Marvel superhero film with a zombie film probably got Netflix to rub their hands together but fuck me, what a bore to watch stolen scene after stolen scene not giving a fuck about any of the characters. Utter, utter shit."

"Army Of The Dead was fucking dreadful. Typical of Netflix to finance something so woeful. Normally Hollywood wouldn't sanction a film where the same person was writer, producer, screenplay writer, director of photography and even had a hand in the editing. What that means is that you are so powerful that nobody can say anything like 'your film is an hour too long and your insurance"

"Just for you Mike you fucking miserable cսnt... Critic reviews Freed from the shackles of superheroes, this boasts Zack Snyder‚Äôs best (and worst) traits in full force: a stupidly entertaining ‚Äî if excessive and overlong ‚Äî zombie blockbuster blow-out. Full review John Nugent Empire For a zombie film Army Of The Dead could seem a bit long at 148 minutes, though Zack Snyder scores because he keeps the shocks and spins coming in. Full review Sify Movies Zack Snyder‚Äôs zombies-in-Vegas extravaganza is an exhausting pivot from brilliant to boring, accomplished to shambolic. Full review Jeannette Catsoulis The NYTimes Netflix's ridiculous bloodfest has the right hero and an unusual villain. Full review Darren Franich Entertainment Weekly The film is reminiscent of other sci-fi action-horror flicks but Snyder‚Äôs attempt to build his zombie franchise is off to a bloody, good start. Full review Neil Soans Times of India Zack Snyder sticks to the traditional formula, but also adds his quirks like showing a disturbingly awesome zombie tiger - Army Of The Dead Movie Review. Full review Umesh Punwani Koimoi The idea of a heist in the middle of a zombie apocalypse sounds great during the planning stage of the movie. But Snyder doesn't take it very far. Full review Prahlad Srihari Firstpost Is this movie terrifying? Not really. Obscenely grotesque? Oh, yeah. Full review Paul Asay Plugged In It's two hours and 28 minutes of packed-to-the-gills video-game-meets-21st-century-Western-meets-day-of-the-living-dead fun, all staged by Snyder with a jaunty spirit of gung-ho classicism. Full review Owen Gleiberman Variety Zack Snyder's zombie heist movie is hardly original, and yet, because of its cast and hardy sense of humor, it marginally succeeds as an action/horror roller coaster ride. Full review Miserable Mike Westhamonline It's Shit"

A really great zombie story is also a great allegory ( emphasis on the gory obvs) . What’s the allegory in this movie?
