Zombieland Review

Before I go into any details on my opinions of Roger Ebert's review on Zombieland you should check it out first to understand what I'm saying: http://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/zombieland-2009

All in all he makes very good points that I agree with like they don't make the zombies scary which makes it that much funnier. Zombieland is one of my favorite films because it incorporates a laughable zombie flick that won't have you take your eyes off the scene because you don't know what will happen next. Also, I can say that zombies are a major fad of the 21st century and anything that incorporates them will most likely find success unless they look like they were made by a second grader. For me personally this reminds me of the Left 4 Dead game series, a pretty popular zombie killing series created by the gaming developers Valve. I like the idea of four people teaming up to kill zombies in order to get to a destination and just reminds me, in a movie form, of Left 4 Dead and the entertainment that brings. 

Mr. Ebert goes into the characters and the incorporation, especially with Jesse Eisenberg, of graphics. The 3D word graphics just make the feel of the movie less series which brings more of an entertainment and funny aspect to it. When we sit through a horror or an epic action we just sit their hoping and waiting for a happy ending but with Zombieland the non series feel makes for a more relaxed experience. Furthermore, the introduction to the movie is one of the most unique and epic set of shots I have seen in a movie it just brings you the awesomeness of the movie in the beginning. 

Roger Ebert did have a couple of questions that Im going to try to answer, but most likely will not be the best answers. 

Vampires make a certain amount of sense to me, but zombies not so much. What's their purpose? They create a easy opposition that will only be able to defeat you if you don't have enough weaponry or are just so consumed by their numbers. Unlike vampires, who are more difficult to defeat in a one on one situation zombie just create an easy encounter for the protagonist.  

Why do they always look so bad? They always look so bead because they are still technically dead, and with death comes the decomposition of ones body making the zombies look bad. 

Can there be a zombie with good skin? Unless they just turned into a zombie right in front of your eyes this most likely will not occur. 

How can they be smart enough to determine that you're food and so dumb they don't perceive you're about to blast them? They only go on their natural senses which is to eat which doesn't give them the understanding that a 12 gage shotgun his going to blow their brains into a pulp. 

All in all I agreed with a majority of what Roger Ebert says and just like he did I enjoyed Zombieland very much.
