danny_galaga:
There is always that debate about 'book versus movie'. I haven't read the book. I give the movie 5/5. If you've read the book and seen the movie, I'd be interested in what you think.
--- Quote ---my score for recent movies you may have seen:
5/5 - The Way Back, The Kings Speech, Michael Clayton, In Bruges, Gran Torino, Mary and Max, Moonrise Kingdom
4.5/5 - Taken, Iron Man, Reign Over Me, Watchmen, The girl with the dragon tattoo
4/5 - True Grit, Traitor, Bedtime Stories, Sunshine, pineapple express
3.5/5 - 300, Max Payne, You dont mess with the Zohan, Yes Man
3/5 - That new Indiana Jones flick, Disturbia, That new TMNT flick,
2.5/5 - Angels and Demons
2/5 - The Love Guru. Note: My 2 is probably someone elses 1. Just leaving room for worse!

The book is like a delicious orange. The movie is like a rotted apple. It has Zombies in it, that's where the similarities end. The movie is entertaining, but it shouldn't use World War Z as it's title.
It's a crap shoot in my mind because I love the book. The whole battle of York Town is SOOO substantial when you realize the zombies don't run, yet they STILL overtook the military. It was in that moment that the whole world went OH CRAP, this is real. That's when the real panic took hold, when the world broke down. 10,000 Army strong with tanks and helicopters and they couldn't stop the slow moving mass. Then the army retreated INTO the press and spectators like the Civil War Battle of Bull Run except the zombies didn't hold back like the south did in bull run. The zombies moved on a massacred everything in their path.

Yeah I know you'd think that a book about zombies would be kind of cheesy, but it's nothing short of a masterpiece. The book also uses real zombies, as opposed to the lame fast-moving cgi crap in the film. Everyone should read the book... it's reminiscent of documentaries where they visit veterans and war ravaged nations years later.... very impressive stuff.
danny_galaga:
I suspected as much. So then for anyone who has read the book, don't bother with the movie! But if you haven't read the book I thoroughly recommend the movie (",)

The only way I wanted this movie to be made was if the Band of Brothers crew did it.
