love... zombie love

A few days ago I went to this movie called Warm Bodies. You know, that zombie love story.

Here's what I thought (without spoilers):

+I thought the story was predictable. I guess most love stories are, right?
But this was predictable in a sense that I knew everything I needed to know from the trailers. I made my assumptions what the issue and solution was and... figures... I was right. 

+For those who don't like swearing... just for warning: it cusses a lot.

+Along the same lines, lots of violence and "gory" images. If you're into that sort of thing.

+Walk into the theater knowing it's a fantasy. A human girl falling for a zombie guy is kind of... strange (and you thought falling in love with a vampire was weird). I thought it was going to be unrealistic how the situation was going to play out. But, for how unlikely it is... I thought the movie made it work.

+A good amount of suspense. A nice amount of humor. A little bit of scary movie-esk.

Rating: I liked it... not loved it. 6.2/10 for me. A kind of movie I would be ok never seeing again. Maybe once more when it comes out in DVD.


On that note, I hope your Valentine's Day was magical :)
If you'll excuse me I have a late night date with my N64, sweatpants, and some chocolates ;)


(I thought this was way too funny not to share. ha)

Love,

  1. This was a good review. I was VERY curious what this movie was going to be like...but I figured I'd probably wait until the DVD version :-)
