I agree on Land of the Dead. I thought it was sort of rehased trash, and couldn't see why so many people enjoyed it. But then again, it seems every zombie movie rips off of it's siblings in most aspects.
I enjoyed Night and Dawn (original and remake), because they brought something deeper to the table. The amount of stuff related to the world in Night alone amazed me, even the accidental stuff such as casting an african american in one of the lead roles (it wasn't scripted that way) to make it metaphoric and controversial.
Land of the Dead brought nothing new to the table, and I felt bored the entire way through. Smart zombies pissed me off.
Speaking of the zombie genre as a whole, the entire thing is very badly thought-out. As it stands, the staple food for zombies is flesh and brains. Why? Don't ask me. Why can't they eat grass, or food in the markets? Hell if anyone knows. The fact they won't die unless you hit them in certain parts of their bodies is also shitiful.
Shoot them in the arm, leg, chest, anywhere and NOTHING is effected. Shooting them in the brain kills them. I can see a reason for that.
As I see it, zombies are just regenerated human beings. They're bodies are restored to life, and their organs begin to function once again. If you shoot them in an organ, that organ should stop functioning and effect the zombie as a whole. If it's leg is cut off, the severed leg SHOULD NOT move. It couldn't. It is not attached and makes no sense for it to move since it's muscles and tendons are detached and out of service.
Of course this whole train of thought it silly, and you might say "Shut the fuck up, it's just a movie." But I dunno, I like to rant about things and share my opinions.
