I know my opinions on the original Dawn arent echoed by many, but I saw it as a definate low point of the series. It was still a good movie...but compared to Night and Day, and even Land, it didnt hold up. For me, at least. The acting was bad [not that acting should be expected in a zombie movie], the plot was totally wasted [The mall was a damn great idea...put to waste], and it had very few memorable moments. It did have the Raiders though...the movie definatly picked up part way through. Also, and this could get me some strange looks, I thought the exploding heads were WAY overused. Sure it was a cool effect...but it went the same way as the solar weapons in Blade...cool, buy way,way overused. =The main thing it had going for it was that it set major info for Day and Land [that the zombies have some grasp on their past lives]
Anyway, enoigh ranting about Dawn...the thread's about
Land!
Heres a recap of my predictions for Land:

2) I will prefer it to both versions of Dawn of the Dead, but it wont be as good as Night or Day.
3) The gore will be good, but not as gory as it could be.
4) "Big Daddy" will be the worst character in the whole series.

1) It definatly was. Not that Im surprised that it was better than shit like Boogeyman and Amittyville:rolleyes:
2) Ding ding. Once again, my prediction was corect! Id rank the Night, Day, Land, Dawn, with Night and Day being very close.
3) I was semi wrong here. Although it wasnt as gory as it could have been, I was completly satufied with the gore.
4) He wasnt nearly as horrible a character as I was expecting him to be. His groans whenever one of "his" zombies got killed got annoying, but it was certainly interesting that he was so advanced he could teach the others.
Overall, I give Land 8/10. For the record, I gave the others:
Night 9.5/10
Day 9/10
Dawn7/10
