That arrogant remake of Dawn didn't come close to anything like that.

The problem with the satire and the ambience made it less real. I will still go for Dawn....

In fact, and that doesn't mean I follow those guys, Ebert & Roepert gave two thumbs up to Dawn while they had split opinions on Land....

<hr /></blockquote>I'm the opposite.

I loved how the zombies-invading-Fiddler's-Green had a very Marxist "lower class overthrowing the upper" feel to it.

During one point in the film, Kaufman even says, "We don't negotiate with terrorists."

And if you'll notice, when Cholo comes into Kaufman's office to see if he can buy his way into the Green, he tries to hand Kaufman a glass of alcohol he got at the liquor store while on the supply run.

"I know you're used to better vintage than this, but it's the best we got." He says.

Kaufman walks right past him, ignoring Cholo trying to hand him the glass, and goes over to the cabinent and pours some of his own better booze.

A great, subtle way of saying, "You're just not good enough to move up here with me and my socialites."

If you haven't noticed already, it's absolutely impossible for me to just watch a movie. I have to dissect it.

i did enjoy the remake of dawn when taken as a stand alone movie, but it's nowhere near as good as the original and really not part of the zombie world

Dawn of the Dead (remake) has made so far 58 millions
Land of the Dead has made so far 20 Millions

Maybe you should give it a send chance....

I dunno, I figured the sniping of celebrity zombie look-a-likes in the new one was kind of social commentary [img]wink.gif[/img] And just plain a good scene [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

And...

1.Never!

2.No, I actually hadn't heard much about it, but now Im interested!

More often than not, it's the films that are more quality-than-quantity (The Dawn remake obviously being 'quantity') that don't do so well at the box office because audiences generally and overall don't know shit about aforementioned quality.
