Land of the Dead (spoilers)

[HarrisonSlade]

Good, the hero getting killed off was original when it was first done but these days is pretty much a cliche. The fact that the heros did servive was unexpected. Besides the guy working for/betrayed by Hopper died.

I suppose that it's also old fashioned to give your characters a personality too.

I watched this on DVD yesterday for the first time.

Since when do we care about the welfare of freakin zombies? They e a t people a l i v e - it's not like they have a different religion. It's okay to kill them folks.

I don't think we were asked to care for them. The idea was that they are starting to develop some sort of intelligence and they begin to organise themselves, like some zombie evolutionary step. It builds a theme started with the zombie character Bub in Day of the Dead.

At the end there was a choice given whether or not to attack the zombies or to let them go free. The decision to let them go was portrayed to be out of some sense of compassion. The zombies leave the city defeated - so what. They'll be back.

Totally irresponsible.

Totally irresponsible.

That is totally irresponsible and a terrible example to give to people caught up in a zombie apocalypse. Write to your MP.

It's kill or be killed - that's reality. I guess in the future we'll see zombie walk-in health care clinics with a token human nurse whose heart bleeds for zombie social injustice.
