Critics Consensus

Warm Bodies offers a sweet, well-acted spin on a genre that all too often lives down to its brain-dead protagonists.

Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online Warm Bodies is simply the first must-see movie of 2013. Rated: B+ Sep 7, 2017 Full Review Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com Warm Bodies achieves a heartfelt ebullience that's inspiring, and for a movie about the undead watching this made me feel as alive as anything I've seen in ages. Rated: 3/4 Aug 9, 2016 Full Review Geoffrey Macnab Independent (UK) Warm Bodies is an ingenious hybrid that, at its best, manages to be funny, lyrical and gruesome. Rated: 3/5 Dec 31, 2013 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Even after we thought the genre was exhausted with 28 Days Later … and then Shaun of the Dead… and then the Zombieland twofer … and then ParaNorman … and then some … here we find fresh blood pumped into the format with this zom-rom-com. Rated: 3/4 Mar 26, 2023 Full Review Aaron Neuwirth Why So Blu I may already have a number one film that is a romantic comedy with zombies (Shaun of the Dead), but Warm Bodies is a lot of fun and charming in an “eat my brains” sort of way. Rated: 7/10 Feb 14, 2023 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand Director Jonathan Levine... has fun contrasting the blank surface with a self-aware narration from R, the nimble, still human mind behind the shuffling body and irresistible instincts to devour living flesh.

Jace E Who knew that zombies could be so charming? I didn't know much about Warm Bodies going into it, and I left pleasantly surprised. The two leads have excellent chemistry and Nicholas Hoult fully embraces his role. There are some overly convenient plot points, specifically those involving Julie's dad. Honestly, if you could take him out of the movie, it would probably go up a point (I never thought I would say that about John Malkovich). While a little more depth would have been nice, this film is a fun ride. There is a purity to it that I enjoyed and that is largely due to the two leads. Best Character: R Best Quote: "Stay together... promise." - R Best Scene: In the Airplane Best Piece of Score: R Shot Alive Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/16/24 Full Review Tamara K It's the perfect modern Romeo and Juliet. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/15/24 Full Review Tyler S Fair to say, I did not expect this. I'm not a huge romance film guy, but this was definitely a winner. While it was fairly short, they told a really impactful story. Well done! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/30/24 Full Review Miranda A Warm Bodies is for all of you (read that as us) Twilight freaks out there. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/13/24 Full Review Thom G Maaawh, as paradoxical as this seems, Warm Bodies is the sweetest zombie movie out there, with lots of heart <3 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/06/24 Full Review Neil F A really great twist on the over-saturated zombie genre. It's a great idea, executed really well. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/28/24 Full Review Read all reviews
