^ Ugh. I know it's a movie and not a history class but to suggest, which this film seem to, that slavery was the only issue around the American Civil War is ridiculous. Slavery wasn't even the main issue of the war, which was State vs Federal rights and the general economic and cultural differences of the north vs south. Robert E. Lee, the famous confederate general was anti slavery but still remained confederate to protect the rights of the state of Virginia.
/historical rant.

Couldn't agree more. Slavery was a trigger cause of the greater issue of states rights. In fact, The North had a few slaves states fighting for it. Even if you read the wording of the Emancipation Declaration. It talks of ending slavery in 'those states now in rebellon' or something to that effect. Nothing about the slave states not in rebellon.

Little worried they might have butchered a classic.. but that is the case you run with every novel to movie make I suppose.

Looks good for a typical zombie movie... too bad with the source material they had a chance to make something so much better.
I'm also annoyed they're fast zombies, I thought the book was so entertaining that I've read it 3 or 4 times and they could have made it entertaining for the audience with slow zombies.
Yeah, I'm a zombie purist.

Maybe someone could clear something up. With the zombies forming a pack to climb up the wall, am I right in saying these zombies are smart zombies? Maybe not smart, but just not the brainless ones that I'm used to in Walking Dead?

I believe they're just walking into the wall and forming a giant moron pile.
While reading WWZ I really wondered how they'd turn it into an effective movie. As mentioned already, it feels more like a miniseries than a singular anything. From the looks of the trailer it appears as though Brad Pitt ends up in the different scenarios. I will admit the trailer looked pretty cool, but I'm worried what was cool about the book won't translate well to the movie.
They didn't move fast in the book did they? Interesting direction.
