Zombieland - One Hell Of A Carnival Ride

I always loved zombie movies and this one makes it right up to the top of my favorite list. Zombieland, featuring Woddy Harrelson (Tallahassee), Jesse Eisenberg (Columbus), Emma Stone (Wichita), and Abigail Breslin (Little Rock), is a zombie movie which does not take itself too seriously. That's a good thing because I am tired of seeing over-calculated zombie movies with over-zealous characters.

Sometimes it's just nice to have a chance watching a movie that knew how to enjoy itself. That might sound a bit strange but the truth is, Zombieland is just very entertaining because you see, in an era when the zombie subgenre has been pricked, poked, gouged, and pulled in every iteration, sometimes it’s nice to go back to basics: It’s not about pet zombies, or Nazi zombies, zombie porn, or capturing zombies on camera for the YouTube masses. Neither is it about fast zombies, slow zombies, smart zombies or dumb zombies. A good zombie movie — and nothing has approached Zombieland in pure goodness since Shaun of the Dead — is about killing zombies, plain and simple.

Rants aside, Zombieland have many things to offer from the standard zombie movies gores, funny zombie moments, clever slo-mo scenes, stylized zombie killings and perhaps the best motivation for a zombie movie ever that does not concern itself to tie it neatly at the end. The whole movie just feel like an old school carnival ride, a very fun carnival ride that lures you to do it again, again and again. Never gets old, never gets tiresome.

Watch Zombieland if you:
- Like zombie movies
- Find Shaun of the Dead very entertaining
- Want to chill out and watch simple (but cool) movie
- Like gore stuff
- Want to watch something funny without being too retarded

Don't watch Zombieland if you:
- Hated slapstick comedy
- Hated guns and fights
- Have no love for the undead
- Looking for plot, for narrative complexity, or for layers of intricacy

Zombie Clown - Perhaps the scariest thing ever appeared on the screen.

Amazingly done slo-mo scene. You can watch several of those in the trailer.

Nut Up or Shut Up.
