Who has seen this kick ass movie?

This was one of the most entertaining movies (Let alone great Zombie flick to boot) I have watched in a long time. It had gore, plenty of laughs, sadness..

I recommend it to everyone.

I'm seeing it tonight. I've been waiting months for it! T-minus 6 hours and 5 minutes.

Saw it, loved it. The Best scene, Hookahing with Bill Murray! If I was one of them it's exactly what I would do in that situation!

I LOVED THAT MOVIE!!!

I'm usually not into horror, I'm kinda jumpy, the only scary part was

*SPOILER ALERT*
the part with the clown in the bathroom. Other than that it wasn't scary, just non-stop laughter. Tallahassee has got to be the biggest (excuse the language) BAMF in anything ever. And of course Bill Murray. That was possibly the funniest thing I've ever seen in any movie ever, just every part that had Bill Murray was great.

I thought it was awesome! Probably the best movie of 2009, anyway. One movie I'd want a sequel... if they promise not to mess it up. I don't know if it was better than Shaun of the Dead, but it's really raelly close if not. Maybe it's just cuz it's new, but it's around the same.


SPOILER, BUT DO WE HAVE TO SAY THAT IN A MOVIE THREAD?





Anyone else think the part with Woody Harrelson and his boy was really really sad? I almost cried!

"Thank God for rednecks!!!"

This movie was really funny. I hope Woody is back and he can get some more roles like this. He made the movie work.

But SnoBalls are good too.

....and Bill Murray

Yes.. One can't forget Mr. Murray.

If Bill Murray's as cool as that in real life, I want to hang with him.

was a great movie. made even better by the fact that one of the guys that went with us is almost exactly like columbus down to being a virgin and deathly affraid of clowns. was addded fun looking at all the similarities. by the end of the movie it was like someone had fallowed him around for weeks studying him for that character.

i would have been mad at finding a a truck full of snowballs to...hate those things.

I wish this movie was a velvet blanket that I would wrap myself up in and brag to all my friends how comfy I am, without a trace of shame in my voice.


I liked it that much.

This far into the thread, is it okay to give away spoilers without warnings? Anyway...




SPOILERS





I liked how none of the main characters died. Except Bill Murray, of course. I know that sounds like a cop-out but this movie made it work and it gives it a little bit of a different feel from the other zombie movies. Instead of feeling a sense of loss in the movie, you just feel like it was a good comedy.

loved every second of it. i havent laughed that hard in awhile. alot of the comedies that have come out recently have just fallen way to short...

On a scale of 1-10, 10 of course being absolutely disgusting...where is the gore level in this flick?

I realize it's a zombie flick and some of it's played up for laughs, but some of these movies are just overkill in an unfunny yet really nauseating way.

Where does this one sit?

It's a zombie movie. It's filled with zombies, decomposing former humans who eat living humans. I haven't seen the movie yet, but 10 is a safe bet.

SPOILING. ABOUT THE GORE FACTOR.



Actually, it's not really that gory. I guess you could give it some points, but other than that, there's not much blood. The beginning sequence has some gore in it, and a lot is in slo-mo.

But there aren't any zombies with missing limbs (that I can remember) and you don't see any heads ripping off or brains spilling out. Nothing spectacular. There's a lot of blood, but I think that's it: blood.

Works for me. Thanks!

And I realized I just contradicted myself. Serves me right for not going over my own post. Trust the last one there: there's blood. I can't remember exactly, but I think it's concentrated in spots, though.

Blood itself doesn't bother me. Gore in general doesn't bother me. It's the really nasty, guts hanging out, slimy nasty chunks of God knows what kinda gore that makes me want to vomit.

I really enjoyed it. It is one of my favorites so far this year.

Just saw it and I agree with the rest of you. This was a hilarious movie especially the Bill Murray scenes!

I stumbled upon a preview of this by pure accident. It looks awesome. But I have to wait till December because NZL doesn't get it till then... apparently.

Fear not. Your anticipation will be paid off 10-fold. I've seen it 3 times already. That's RoTF-like numbers.

I am going to have to prepare a shield for this one.

Went seeing the movie on Sunday, now before you all stone me to death... I thought it was good. Let's get that out of the way.

But... it wasn't great... It is a nice,(if gory and slightly disturbing for me in places as zombies are pretty damn scary), and sad and kinda sweet yet predictable film.

I had no doubt in my mind that the main actors would survive, it was just too nice I thought, at least for a zombie film. The Bill Murray scenes were great, but they weren't grip my sides in laughter or anything.

I personally preferred Shaun of the Dead over this, but that maybe because I am biased I mean what else would you do if the world was suddenly overrun by zombies and everyone you know was either dead or trying to eat you?

Typical British solution... make a cup of tea (calm your nerves) then go to the pub... It also wasn't as predictable as zombieland and even slightly scarier in places and Simon Pegg is funnier than a gun toting Woody Harrelson (whom I do think is great btw).

Summary: It was good, but it isn't everything it's made out to be.
