I didn't much care for the new Dawn of the Dead, but I do have it here and have watched it a couple of times. Some of the effects are really great! But as a movie I think it pales in comparison to the original. But a lot of people like it so hey, what do I know. I guess I attach special feelings to the original, and to this day, it's remained a totally unique film. In a way I'm glad the remake didn't resemble it, because it would have spoiled something.
Everyone hates "Return of the Living Dead 2" but I liked it as much as if not more than the first "ROTLD"...it has really fantastic effects work for the most part and I think it works just fine. Say that in a room full of average zombie fans, though, and they'll just stare at you.
