Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead
Ok, let me say up front that I do love zombie shows and movies, particularly the television show that started it all for me, ‘The Walking Dead.’ And really, I guess it was even before then but TWD just took it to another level as far as I am concerned – that is, until some of the writing started suffering further into the seasons but I am riding it out to see what ends up happening. Too much time invested in that one.
Anyway, with all that being said, I watched the latest entry in the zombie flicks, Zac Snyder’s ‘Army of the Dead.’ I did not even realize this one was coming out so was quite surprised to find out about it. The biggest plus for this film is the action. I will say that there is plenty of it and it is done well. In fact, it is almost non-stop from the get go and you tell some money was definitely spent on this movie with the special effects and technology on display. That much I can say I was impressed with. I will say also that it was a pretty good story line although I still was left with questions at the end of the movie. However, based on the ending – with no spoiler alert here – I think I might get those questions answered sometime in future if this film garners a lot of interest.
The thing I did not care for about this film was the acting! I am sorry, but Dave Bautista just cannot act. I know he has his fans and this might be blasphemy for me to say but I mean the way he tries to express his emotions is just not believable and is somewhat painful to watch. Some of the lines given by him and others were just atrocious. I know that I should not be expecting this to be an award winning film but the dialogue and acting in many scenes was just horrible.
Oh well, the main thing to be concerned with I guess is seeing who can make it through the fast moving zombies in Las Vegas!
