Bryant C 2nd movie I've seen in this franchise, it was better than Dawn of the Dead . But only by a finger length . Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/31/24 Full Review DanTheMan 2 Signifying Romero's jump into the digital age, Land of the Dead is another hard-edged, funny, playfully perverse and violent exercise in fear and loathing. Its increasingly dark take on a world spinning out of control makes for good, gory fun, even if its satiric jabs at societal mores are more heavy-handed than in the past. It's nice to see Romero working with something actually approaching a budget for once, boldly holding a macabre mirror up to post-9/11 America with that familiar squelch of human flesh, tackling gated communities, war profiteering and entertainment as a weapon of mass distraction. While I don't ultimately agree with some of the film's decisions, the intelligent zombies being my main peeve (although it feels natural due to Romero constantly evolving his ghouls with each instalment), it's hard to deny that Romero still cares enough about the genre he helped redefine, he doesn't attempt to play it safe, taking every opportunity he can to challenge his viewers. His direction is solid, although let down by a muddy colour palette, the practical effects are fantastic when they haven't had digital touch-ups but the music uses way too many rising string leitmotifs for my liking. The performances from the cast are certainly a mixed bag but it's clear that John Leguizamo and Dennis Hopper are having a ball in their respective roles, although I do wish that Asia Argento had bitten the dust faster, also a cameoing Simon Pegg as a Zombified Shaun is an adorable touch. Although Land of the Dead is too familiar to be unnerving, there's at least satisfaction in Romero making it such nasty fun, it's far from the triumphs of his Dead trilogy but it serves up a decent plate of B-movie grade shock and awe. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/28/24 Full Review Andrew P Land of the Dead is an interesting next step in Romero's "of the Dead" franchise, but it definitely feels like a step down from the previous films. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/18/24 Full Review B S For some reason it’s the first opening minutes of this movie what creeps me out the most it’s with the news commentators speaking and the images in the background of the zombies returning to life really gets me its just creepy as hell and it’s the only zombie movie that scares me😂, but to me i personally think out of all the zombie movies I’ve seen and I’d like to say I’ve seen them all I see this as the best I’ve watched it’s just down right creepy, chilling and disturbing plus the replay value is 10/10 in my opinion, George Romero Is a legend and a genius when it comes to zombie movies and if your a fan of them then I would 100% recommend this. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/15/24 Full Review Sams K It's a shame Romero didn't have the opportunity to do all the movies he wanted to do, because this one's really great! Lots of references of the early 2000s political scenario. YOU MUST WATCH THIS!!! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/09/24 Full Review Lucas T One of the best zombie movies out there. It’s great to see what Romero can do with a full budget and it does not disappoint. Love the social commentary and the zombie effects are masterful. A lot of people I know prefer Snyder’s Dawn of the Dead Remake to this one which came out very close to each other, but Land is definitely the superior film imo.
