Critics Consensus

Wickedly funny and featuring plenty of gore, Zombieland is proof that the zombie subgenre is far from dead.

Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online It's an okay DVD rental choice but doesn't go beyond that. Rated: C- Sep 11, 2017 Full Review Lisa Rosman Us Weekly With its quick pace and witty writing, it's a nonstop, snarky ride. Jul 19, 2017 Full Review Deborah Ross The Spectator It is never properly scary. Mostly, it is just very silly, but because the film knows it is silly, it's all rather infectious and not the big, cliché-pumped bore it might otherwise have been. Sep 22, 2014 Full Review Manuel São Bento MSB Reviews Zombieland has all the attributes of a pure blockbuster: a phenomenal cast, a straightforward narrative packed with thrilling sequences, a short runtime with fast pacing, compelling characters, and thousands of zombies. Rated: A- Jul 24, 2023 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand The zombie comedy was hardly fresh territory when "Zombieland" came along (and really, will anyone top "Shaun of the Dead"?) but it nonetheless does a fine job of mining the humor inherent in the end of the world. Mar 12, 2022 Full Review George Fenwick The Post NZ For all its silliness, this is not, pardon the pun, brainless; rather, it’s a ruthlessly funny explosion of zombie-film cliches that somehow doubles as a charming road movie.

bob t It's a modern day classic! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/21/25 Full Review Audience Member I love this movie but the only reason why I'm rating so low is because of Jesse Eisenberg. He is one of the most annoying actors in existence. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/12/25 Full Review nicokush 4 unique charm to this movie even if its a reused concept of the zombie apocalypse they really made it stand out good job great movie to watch Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/11/25 Full Review Reese R I remember enjoying this movie the first time I watched it and I’m the type of person who rewatches movies constantly because I have no life… but I tried to rewatch this and ended up skipped every scene Abigail Breslin is in because she’s one of the most smug child stars I’ve ever seen. It’s all girl power bs but the end redeems the movie. My favorite part of the movie is Jessie and Emma dancing to two of the lucky ones and that’s why it wasn’t completely worthless to me. The movie starts strong and once the girls show up it slows down and changes tone and direction. It’s just crazy how one person being poorly cast and ruin what would otherwise be a decent movie. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/25 Full Review No-one 1 it's a movie for teenagers, but also you can enjoy it with a partner once you grow up, it tells you a someway probably scenario in a zombie apocalypse in a very funny way with the story of this 4 characters. As i say teenagers will find more things to relate to the 2 protagonist actors here because there is also love in the film and the "thing" about the "survival rules" which you can tell later at high school and have a lot ot talk (or the speech about world of warcraft and being freak) but you can enjoy it too in other situations. If you like zombies and comedy this is a surprisingly good movie to watch. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/15/25 Full Review John C Okay, so I’ve pretty much seen and enjoyed most zombie films – everything from George A Romero’s offerings to the general silly B-movies featuring shuffling corpses eating people’s brains. So I was always going to put ‘Zombieland’ on my ‘to watch’ list. As soon as I heard it pretty much had A-list actors in it and a theatrical release, I was definitely looking forward to it. Plus it’s worth noting that most people who saw it loved it. I didn’t love it. Granted, I didn’t hate it. It kind of left little impression on me – neither good nor bad. Yeah, there were some humorous moments where I giggled, but, generally, I found it a bit forgettable. As the title would suggest, the world has been overrun by the living dead and there are few humans left, desperately trying to survive. Jessie Eisenberg is our ‘hero’ who talks us through the ‘rules’ of how to live in a world where most of the population is trying to eat you. His voiceover is pretty funny, but after the first act it kind of drops off when he meets his ‘love interest’ and they head to a theme park. I think the biggest flaw in it comes near the end. I’m not sure I can mention it as it probably constitutes a ‘spoiler,’ but it’s generally to do with a weird (and rather stupid) decision made by the two girls which totally goes against anything a sane person would do in a world infested by zombies. For some reason I just couldn’t really get over that and no matter how good the rest of the film was, that one moment of madness (involving doing something that literally drew the attention of every flesh-eater in Los Angeles to them). After a second viewing I do like it a little more. It’s not a bad film. It has gore. It has laughs and it has a good celebrity cameo from Bill Murray. I just wish they’d changed that one (theme park-related) aspect towards the end. It really bugs me. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/25 Full Review Read all reviews
