ZOMBIELAND FUCKING SUCKS.
Seriously, the movie was so bad I wanted to walk out. Sadly I was past the point of getting my money back, so I braved the cliche-storm. I should have left, money back or not.
First things first: Fuck Jesse Eisenberg, and fuck that melon-headed uggo Emma Stone. Why? Jesse is another Michael Cera. Except uglier. Call me old fashioned, but the whole mumbling-mono toned-socially awkward-skinny-nerd thing just does absolutely nothing for me. Cera and Eisenberg CAN'T FUCKING ACT. Now, I realize that it's a zombie movie, and hey, we're in it for the cheap thrills/scares, gore, and good kills, right?
WRONG. Because there are none of the above in this movie. The gore is minimal, the scares are non existent, and the good kills are just plain no where to be found. Which is sad, considering that this is a movie that boasts a 'zombie kill of the week' IN THE FUCKING TRAILER.
Best part about the movie? Bill Murray. Although he's not even funny, and the appearance of Mr.Murray signifies the start of the thirty five zombie free minutes of the latter half of the movie.
That's right. A ZOMBIE movie that's lacking zombies. For more than a few minutes. Why? Because Melon-Head Emma Stone gets drunk on wine and tries to seduce Eisenberg. But then doesn't. Because IT'S A FUCKING ZOMBIE MOVIE AND WE DON'T CARE ABOUT A GOD DAMNED EMOTIONAL ARC.
I realize that movies need substance. A plot. Something for us to relate to. Shaun of the Dead did it with the Shaun/Liz sub plot. Dawn of the Dead [both the original AND remake] did it equally well.
UNFORTUNATELY, THE FUCKS WHO WROTE THIS FLICK FAILED. THEY FAILED HARD. IS IT A COMING OF AGE TEEN ROMANCE MOVIE? IT MUST BE. OH NO WAIT THERE'S SOME FUCKING ZOMBIES. NOW I'M CONFUSED.
