World War Z

Why couldn't they have just respected the source material? Walking zombies were an integral part of the book, you don't see Peter Jackson messing with the LOtR or The Hobbit.

I wanted to see the standoff in India or Yonkers. Not a tidal wave of running cgi infected.
 
As a stand alone zombie film it looks poor (CGI zombies look pretty bad) but as World War Z it is appalling. If that's the film they wanted to make they didn't need to buy the rights to the book as it's nothing like!

really? lol.

he ius messing with the hobbit left, right and centre and missed a few bits out from LOTR and added a few in too.

many people have issues with slow zombies (which is what im assuming people are moaning about) the fact that if you can jog you are OK kind of kills the cinematic experience. sure, in a book slow zombies in hordes with the inevitable consequences are what gets people but in movies i dont like it too much. my mate completely disagrees though but he is a fan of the 70s romero zombie movies.

Well yes, he changed some things around which was to be expected. I still think he did a good job of getting across the essence of the books albeit watered down and simplified. If he did the equivalent of what it looks like they did with World War Z he would have decided that hobbits aren't exciting enough for today's audience, so he casts Jason Stalham as Frodo and has the hobbits doing Kung Fu with bullet time arrow shots.
