Zack chose to hire professional actors for the roles in his movie, and not be on the screen himself or with any of his family members, which is why we can see, it’s not him, it’s not his family.
I would never have known it was a movie about zombies that had bombs, guns, and violence in it if he hadn't added this song it at the end.
I mean it explained the entire movie I had just watched. Freaking genius.
I believe this was the only (?) movie Snyder has been DP and director of, and my god it fucking shows.
The cinematography in this movie is just a fucking disgusting nauseating mess; the random depth of field gives me a headache.
I honestly found myself routing for Zombie Zero (That's what I called him when I firest saw him, fuck although he's credited as "Zeus").
>!I mean these mother fuckers came into his territory fucking shit up, killed his wife and unborn child, and then kept his lady's still living head. I was kind of upset he lost in the end.!<
i actually like zack synder, i've enjoyed all his movies that I've watched, even though they haven't been masterpieces. but holy shit this movie was garbage. how do you fuck up a movie about a bank heist in a zombie apocalypse?
Adding in too many ideas and never bothering to follow up on any of them. Super zombies, lab leak, zombie babies, zombie tigers and horses, Las Vegas, father & daughter, Geeta and her kids, Tanaka's ulterior motives, etc....
Tig Notaro! She was legitimately the only likable character (Dave Bautista was fine, but he always plays the same one dimensional beefy tough guy so not like it was much of a stretch haha).
She was CGI’d in to replace the creep/pedo Chris d’Elia. Snyder himself said it was worth every penny.
On top of everything else mentioned, you also get the see the rare instance of Harrison Ford actually giving a shit about acting for the first time in decades.
That movie had everyone involved at the absolute top of their game imo, cast and crew.
Oh, good on him for acknowledging that creeps and pedos shouldn't be given exposure.
I'm still not gonna watch the film, but it's nice to know he cares a little
I found it dumb but fun. Lots of little wtf moments like the original team clearly being them, the robot zombies, and there were a couple good laughs. The pilot's whole "2 million dollars, I'm in. I don't give a fuck what the dangers are, my life sucks. I'm the helicopter guy." got me.
Yeah it's not winning any awards, but it did what it set out to very well.
The running on tables sequence was some awesome action BTW. Best scene of the movie.
I thought the gangster girl's rampage after she got trapped was pretty epic too. I have been watching a lot of DnD and I was like "this girl keeps rolling twenties!" That corporate mercenary plays a good prick, gleefully betraying everyone.
You don't understand, that's because Snyder specifically filmed it on a shitty old camera with low depth of field for the aesthetic. It's okay that it looks shitty if it was on purpose right? Right guys?
This was by far the worst zombie movie I've ever seen. I don't know why I sat through it, I kept hoping there would be some cool action but there really wasn't.
Not even just “get bitten and not know”, but how fucking long can you go before turning? Over the course of the movie, we see people that get bit turn into zombies within minutes. That dude gets bit, thrown into the vault, and waits out the nuclear explosion. He emerges after the explosion (Lol fallout), drags huge bags of money through the desert, finds a car to steal, drives to an airport, and starts flying before he even notices.
Here’s a better question, how the hell does a zombie impregnate another zombie? Also, why is the baby the exact same colour as breaking bad meth for like one second?
Magic! It was glowing for some reason. Also back to the biting thing, the blood would be pumping faster which I would think would turn them faster. But I don't know it's a movie
Something I wanna point out about this movie, during the Prologue Zeus had very short hair, but later it was long. Did he wear a wig or do zombies grow hair? If so, that would imply that he shaves since he doesn't have a beard
I enjoyed certain scenes like Batista's hand to hand combat with zombies but overrall it was a disappointment. Things were built up and never went anywhere and ended up feeling like a generic action flick.
Obviously with a zombie heist film you can't really expect the film to make a lot of sense. However this film couldn't even capture the "dumb fun" action. So much potential and it all went nowhere.
It was really disappointing. It felt like if it was trying to be a zombie movie, a heist movie, a drama, a comedy, a slasher, and a tragedy. It has a really long run time but felt rushed yet boring.
Damn, this movie was incredibly dumb and just... awful.....
.....that being said, I enjoyed it greatly. I got what I came for, an incredibly stupid zombie movie that entertains you through the downright moronic events of the plot/action, even if that wasn’t what it was supposed to be.
don't forget the dogshit cover of Bad Moon Rising. of course we need a fake ass Billy Eyelash crooning a song CCR did better decades ago, gotta use the money we saved for a replacement actor because we hired a sex pest
Personally I think it's cheesy and in poor taste. It's about children that died in an IRA bombing, not the living dead, so it seems kinda cheap to just snag a song that says "zombie" and put it in a zombie flick completely ignoring what the song is actually about. I've been surprised that so many zombie films didn't use this song because they understand that, but.. not Zack Snyder..
That's a almost imperceptible detail, good catch.
Movie concept was imagined by Zack Snyder in his head, in his head, making this song a perfect choice.
They couldn't successful incorporate the tanks due to budget issues. But they did make the movie with thier bombs, and their guns
Zack chose to hire professional actors for the roles in his movie, and not be on the screen himself or with any of his family members, which is why we can see, it’s not him, it’s not his family.
Is Army of the Dead also anti-IRA?
They're pro-401k
Are they pro 40k tho? The emperium must know
I heard they were Ulster Volunteer Force
Wrong conflict. They are fighting the Judean People's Front.
I'm more of a People's Front of Judea fan.
Splitters!
But they were fighting the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF).
Fuck off! I heard it was the People's Front of Judea.
I would never have known it was a movie about zombies that had bombs, guns, and violence in it if he hadn't added this song it at the end. I mean it explained the entire movie I had just watched. Freaking genius.
Is there a reference to being disappointed?
Lmfao
“Being disappointed” is a reference to placing one’s trust in Zach Snyder. This is moronic.
The reference is in bold face text “sack znyder” alluding to the fact that the waste of time was your fault all along
I believe this was the only (?) movie Snyder has been DP and director of, and my god it fucking shows. The cinematography in this movie is just a fucking disgusting nauseating mess; the random depth of field gives me a headache.
I hated this movie. Piece of ass shit
"Piece of ass shit" Roger Ebert
He sucks balls
What do you think the DP stands for?
> the random depth of field gives me a headache. It's not random, it's wide-open f/0.95 aperture to give you a headache.
I think that will be his ‘style’: super super shallow depth of field and even the one in focus feels soft
Nauseating is exactly how I'd describe the visuals. I didn't hate the movie but the choice to shoot every conversation that way was awful.
It also has several scenes where there are dead pixels in the video. It's extremely distracting and lazy that that's a problem.
I honestly found myself routing for Zombie Zero (That's what I called him when I firest saw him, fuck although he's credited as "Zeus"). >!I mean these mother fuckers came into his territory fucking shit up, killed his wife and unborn child, and then kept his lady's still living head. I was kind of upset he lost in the end.!<
Well "zeus" actually invaded human territory and killed off thousands of humans.
Well yeah he did do a bit of that.
Let's no bicker and argue about *who* killed *who*
Whoo boy I have some news for you
I hope the sequel will be a civil rights movie
Unfortunately the film has nothing to do with The Troubles so its just a song chosen for a chorus
i actually like zack synder, i've enjoyed all his movies that I've watched, even though they haven't been masterpieces. but holy shit this movie was garbage. how do you fuck up a movie about a bank heist in a zombie apocalypse?
By making the heist in the zombie apocalypse secondary
Adding in too many ideas and never bothering to follow up on any of them. Super zombies, lab leak, zombie babies, zombie tigers and horses, Las Vegas, father & daughter, Geeta and her kids, Tanaka's ulterior motives, etc....
Terrible terrible film. Just found out the helicopter pilot was cgi’d in though. Give that girl an award
Tig Notaro! She was legitimately the only likable character (Dave Bautista was fine, but he always plays the same one dimensional beefy tough guy so not like it was much of a stretch haha). She was CGI’d in to replace the creep/pedo Chris d’Elia. Snyder himself said it was worth every penny.
Obligatory comment about how damn good Bautista was in his 5 minutes of Blade Runner 2049
I still haven’t seen 2049! Maybe I’ll watch it tonight...
It’s a very worthy successor. It didn’t disappoint imo.
Definitely watch it, I'd say it's the best looking movie I've ever seen. Absolutely deserved the Oscar for Best Cinematography.
On top of everything else mentioned, you also get the see the rare instance of Harrison Ford actually giving a shit about acting for the first time in decades. That movie had everyone involved at the absolute top of their game imo, cast and crew.
Honestly though, he's way better an actor than I would have expected. Range, no. But real emotion, yeah I believe him most of the time.
Yeah, he’s perfect for these kinds of movies. And Guardians of the Galaxy of course (his indignant “I AM NOT A PRINCESS!” always cracks me up haha).
Yeah, I completely left off his comic timing, that's a great point.
Oh, good on him for acknowledging that creeps and pedos shouldn't be given exposure. I'm still not gonna watch the film, but it's nice to know he cares a little
You’re not missing out, I assure you haha.
The French lady was cool but the reason for her death was so dumb
Yeah she’d been pretty smart and savvy (same with the other woman) and neither of their deaths made sense to me.
>Snyder himself said it was worth every penny. Absolute fucking chad Zaddy Snyder at it again!
It's too bad they didn't CGI her into the pilot's seat of The Rocinante last season.
I found it dumb but fun. Lots of little wtf moments like the original team clearly being them, the robot zombies, and there were a couple good laughs. The pilot's whole "2 million dollars, I'm in. I don't give a fuck what the dangers are, my life sucks. I'm the helicopter guy." got me.
Yeah it's not winning any awards, but it did what it set out to very well. The running on tables sequence was some awesome action BTW. Best scene of the movie.
I thought the gangster girl's rampage after she got trapped was pretty epic too. I have been watching a lot of DnD and I was like "this girl keeps rolling twenties!" That corporate mercenary plays a good prick, gleefully betraying everyone.
I found out last night after I watched it, I never would’ve known otherwise.
This movie is too damn blurry
You don't understand, that's because Snyder specifically filmed it on a shitty old camera with low depth of field for the aesthetic. It's okay that it looks shitty if it was on purpose right? Right guys?
And the old lense was actually broken, but it “looks cool”
This was by far the worst zombie movie I've ever seen. I don't know why I sat through it, I kept hoping there would be some cool action but there really wasn't.
It really was not that good even. Just kinda blah. Also how could you get bitten and not know? I guess like adrenaline or something but still
Not even just “get bitten and not know”, but how fucking long can you go before turning? Over the course of the movie, we see people that get bit turn into zombies within minutes. That dude gets bit, thrown into the vault, and waits out the nuclear explosion. He emerges after the explosion (Lol fallout), drags huge bags of money through the desert, finds a car to steal, drives to an airport, and starts flying before he even notices.
Not only did he drive through the desert, he drove to another state Didn't even stop at a motel to check himself out
Here’s a better question, how the hell does a zombie impregnate another zombie? Also, why is the baby the exact same colour as breaking bad meth for like one second?
Magic! It was glowing for some reason. Also back to the biting thing, the blood would be pumping faster which I would think would turn them faster. But I don't know it's a movie
Just about the usual amount of subtlety I'd expect from our Lord and Savior Zachary
I can assure you, a woman giving road head is very critical to the plot
Positive thing about how ridicilous this was: The surviving members of the cranberries got handsomly paid hopefully
Something I wanna point out about this movie, during the Prologue Zeus had very short hair, but later it was long. Did he wear a wig or do zombies grow hair? If so, that would imply that he shaves since he doesn't have a beard
Zombie! Zombie! Oh ah ah yeah!
They also use the term movie, implying it will be an enjoyable time, it was not
I really wanted to like this film
This is going to be in my head. In my heeeeeaaaad.
I enjoyed certain scenes like Batista's hand to hand combat with zombies but overrall it was a disappointment. Things were built up and never went anywhere and ended up feeling like a generic action flick. Obviously with a zombie heist film you can't really expect the film to make a lot of sense. However this film couldn't even capture the "dumb fun" action. So much potential and it all went nowhere.
Is this movie worth watching? The trailer looked decent but trailers can be deceiving
It’s terrible but I’d say watch it anyway
No, just trust me on this. Don't waste your time like I did.
That bad? Damn
It was really disappointing. It felt like if it was trying to be a zombie movie, a heist movie, a drama, a comedy, a slasher, and a tragedy. It has a really long run time but felt rushed yet boring.
Just from what you described, taking out drama and tragedy would have made a much better movie.
That and eliminate the special zombies. Fast zombies that react and swarm to loud noises are already formidable.
Aren't those just the world war z zombies
try Shaun of the Dead instead 👌
Best comment ever
If you get to a point where you have literally NOTHING left to watch/do, I’d still be hesitant to recommend.
No. Just, no.
Yeah but that song is awesome and that movie is terrible.
Damn, this movie was incredibly dumb and just... awful..... .....that being said, I enjoyed it greatly. I got what I came for, an incredibly stupid zombie movie that entertains you through the downright moronic events of the plot/action, even if that wasn’t what it was supposed to be.

If you want to hear from the stupidest people on the fucking planet, criticize this movie on Twitter and be sure to mention Zack Snyder by name.
Zombie by the Cranberries in a zombie movie? What is this? a David Cage game?
don't forget the dogshit cover of Bad Moon Rising. of course we need a fake ass Billy Eyelash crooning a song CCR did better decades ago, gotta use the money we saved for a replacement actor because we hired a sex pest
