I generally enjoy most movies, especially zombie movies, and I found WWZ to be pretty bad.

I just felt like it didn't go anywhere, then all of a sudden it was over. The nods to the book were neat, but overall it was a pretty bad movie.

Zombies are supposed to be slow, not fast.

That being said, Pitt didn't exactly add anything to the film.

Off the top of my head:
  • Meet Joe Black
  • Interview with a vampire
He has done some movies I like, but he has done some stinkers.

Max Brooks basically said the only thing his book and the movie have in common is the title.

I enjoyed the movie the first time I watched it, but then I read an earlier version of the script that I thought was a much better adaptation of the book and because of that I could barely make it through the movie the other day when I watched it again.

This will probably suck, but the trailer is pretty good at least

Can't picture Aaron Paul as a tough guy. Just seems wrong.

If you watched Bryan Cranston in Malcolm in the Middle or Aaron Paul in Big Love you'd be hard pressed to understand why they'd be cast in such a high concept well written show like Breaking Bad but they're actors and they're good ones so it's really foolish to put them in a box.

I don't know - I just can't picture him as anyone but Jesse Pinkman - I think he's done.

WTF? I'd glady pay money to watch them perform in IMAX based on those camera shots but what's with all the Vancouver riot stuff?

I was at the show at Rogers arena. There were a lot of staged "accidents" to further the storyline of the movie. Not sure what the story is all about.

The concert was a cool show though.

Nah. Everything I've seen and read indicates they're going back to what made Godzilla awesome.

Brian Cranston is in this one.
