a poster, krinkle, on ain't it cool news talkback had this to say:
saw it last night at CityWalk... It's pretty bad...
No-one who has ever seen the original Romero masterpiece will have anything good to say about this one: Its basically a dumbed-down kiddie version. And what's more, while the original "Dawn" was subtly critical of the consumer culture... this 'Dawn' is nothing but supportive of it... In fact, we have here a "Dawn Of The Dead" that is made to PLAY in the mall! Its odd to think that in 70s and 80s, we had these film-school filmmakers coming along and doing these more sophisticated versions of pictures like "The Fly," "The Thing," and "Invasion Of The Body Snatchers"... They made more interesting movies for a more interesting era, and no-one would deny that the remakes of those films are (in many way) superior to the original. BUT NOW we've cycled back around to a more conservative era again, and we're getting LESS interesting versions of 70's and 80's horror movies ("Texas Chainsaw" and "Dawn Of The Dead")... I told you this culture was in decline...
mm i suspect it's shit
