Supreme Cmdr Posted June 23, 2005 Report Posted June 23, 2005 For all you Day One junkies who are going to go see this tomorrow. All I want to know is, on a scale of 1 (LoTR) to 10 (Sin City), how gruesome and gory is it? I don't want another PTSD flameout (like with Sin City) if I go see it.
Kevin Trotter Posted June 24, 2005 Report Posted June 24, 2005 Well SC I didnt see the Movie but did go rubber necking at the Premiere here in Pitsburgh. Aint too many premeiere in this neck of the woods but I did catch QT, Robert Rodriquez, Tom Savini and the creepmiester himself George Romero. The Tix were 125 bucks (including an after party) so I just gaped at em for free on my way home from work. I'll see the movie saturday after Batman
DennyMala Posted June 24, 2005 Report Posted June 24, 2005 Well I enjoyed SIN CITY, pretty strange movie indeed and very bloody and gruesome.
Supreme Cmdr Posted June 24, 2005 Author Report Posted June 24, 2005 OK, wait a minute. Are you two crazy or just bored? What do both of these posts have to do with my original post?
TARWMSRK Posted June 25, 2005 Report Posted June 25, 2005 1 being LOTR (no gore) and 10 being sin city (little bit of blood) Land of the dead is about a 20. Dont get me wrong, its a VERY good movie. I am just glad I did not buy anything to eat. Just imagine zombies eating people in detail. Ych I cant eat anymore of my burger now.
seadog Posted June 25, 2005 Report Posted June 25, 2005 MMMMM. Brains. Obviously proves that 90% of the population didn't need theirs either. LOL
Scrivener Posted June 25, 2005 Report Posted June 25, 2005 It *is* a zombie movie, SC. Basically it's about the same as the Dawn of the Dead Unrated version. I'd give it an 8 on the LOTR-SIN CITY violence scale. And I'd add that I was pleasantly surprised by how well this one was done. It's easy to tell that it's been censored like everything else these days, and that really gets under my skin. I'm of a mind that once you get an R rating, you should be able to do just about anything you want. Shaun of the Dead aside, this is the best zombie movie we've seen since the original Dawn. 9/10
Supreme Cmdr Posted June 27, 2005 Author Report Posted June 27, 2005 I guess I won't be seeing it then. Oh well. And fer crying out loud Scriv, don't you have a different song to sing about censoring movies? I mean, seriously, ALL movies get censored and it should be expected. So please stop clamouring about this [dead] issue in practically every review you write. Use those words for another more interesting purpose.
Supreme Cmdr Posted June 27, 2005 Author Report Posted June 27, 2005 I guess even the R rated zombie luving geeks went out to see Batman and Bewitched instead of - yet another - zombie movie. This one looks like its going to die a quick and sudden death.
jamotto Posted June 27, 2005 Report Posted June 27, 2005 be on the ready for a sequel Looks like this one is going to turn a profit!
jamotto Posted June 28, 2005 Report Posted June 28, 2005 Well, it earned 10.2 million over the weekend, which for most movies is just dust in the wind, but the cost to make this movie was a dirt cheap 15 million and it is currently raking in an estimated 2 million a day. There is still hope though, perhaps people will spread the word just how bad this movie is before this coming weekend
Scrivener Posted June 30, 2005 Report Posted June 30, 2005 Inherently, zombie movies are boring. You go to see them hoping to see some new creative uses for latex, pasta, and stage blood.
jamotto Posted July 7, 2005 Report Posted July 7, 2005 It may have been boring, but in the end Universal is happy as the movie has now made a profit. Now is that not scary!
