Seen it twice already. Great zombie movie. Romero's back in fine form with this film. It got the usual Romero staple of horror, humor and social commentary that the other dead films do. And a lot of cool looking zombies. I'll reserve full jugement until I see the uncut DVD (assuming Universal will let him release it). That final zombie chowdown inside the Green looked like it had been drastically cut down. I know some people complained that "zombies don't swim", but it you watch, they don't swim. They just drop to the bottom and walk until they reach land. It was interesting to note that Land involved elements from George's orginal Day Of The Dead script (you can read it at
www.homepageofthedead.com. Check it out, it's alot different then the one that actually got filmed.) that he had to ditch and rewrite to make less expensive. In that script, there were people living outside the compound in complete squalor while those inside lived in relative comfort, a concept he finally explored with building in Land.
My sole real complaint was Big Daddy. The actor who played him didn't do a very good job. I kept comparing him to Howard Sherman's performance as Bub and he came up lacking. Way too much screaming, and he figured stuff out too fast to be believable as a zombie. This guy needs to go back to zombie school. On the other hand, Number 9 performed very well (a hottie zombie chick with part of her face missing, who'da thunk it?) Maybe she should have been the lead zombie?
By the way, did anyone notice that the R-rated print of Land is way gorier then the supposed "uncut" DVD of the Dawn Of The Dead remake?
