Romero are four things this movie had that helped it shine. With a budget of about 20 million to make, the film was a great success grossing double that amount. All the actors in this movie put on great performances with better acting then you get in most zombie flicks. The story flowed very nicely with not too many boring scenes at all. They also went big with the special effects, with explosions, cool vehicles, grusome death scenes and a few hardcore gun fights as well. Definately a fun watch for any zombie or horror fan. Expand

I loved the concept and I thought it was clever having a few storylines worked in together, as well as being one of the first film to really focus on some of the zombies themselves. Simon Baker leads a talented cast that all play their parts well, as well as Dennis Hopper doing a great job as the head honcho. Overall a great film and zombie fans should be impressed! Expand

In an ever-vigilante attempt to stay socially-relevant, George Romero creates a class struggle between the rich and the poor which is also personified in the battle between the living and the dead in LAND OF THE DEAD. Both human and zombieIn an ever-vigilante attempt to stay socially-relevant, George Romero creates a class struggle between the rich and the poor which is also personified in the battle between the living and the dead in LAND OF THE DEAD. Both human and zombie are only looking for the basic rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, which have been stripped away from them by a tyrannical overlord that has seized control from his ivory tower, Fiddler's Green (perhaps in reference to SOYLENT GREEN, which seems to have heavily influenced the plot).

Romero makes many poor decisions in LAND OF THE DEAD that fans are sure to disagree with, the first being the further humanization of the zombies. We saw in DAY OF THE DEAD that Romero's zombies had regained their basic motor skills. Here, they begin communicating, using tools, and strategizing, which is a huge stretch for creatures that are supposedly "dead,' and very difficult for audience members to accept. What is worse, Romero, whose films served as the pinnacle of special effects makeup throughout the 70's and 80's, has begun the downward slide into computerized imagery, particularly for the gore sequences. While it is less apparent in LAND OF THE DEAD, his subsequent films would be ruled by these cost-saving (but visually abhorrent) techniques. Only the practical makeup effects handled brilliantly by Greg Nicotero and Howard Berger call back to the greatness of the past three films.

LAND OF THE DEAD presents us with no compelling characters to carry the story, just a group of mismatched rogues for whom we care nothing. The closest that we have to a hero is Simon Baker playing Riley Denbo, but all of his whining and sniveling gets him nowhere. Instead, it seems that we are meant to align ourselves with the zombies, who are the only characters that are portrayed in a sympathetic light, but this group only serves to annoy as well. The lead zombie, aptly named "Big Daddy," looks and acts nothing like the zombies we have come to expect in a Horror film, and even without the benefit of conditioning (as with Bub in DAY), he has rebuilt his intellect to near-human levels. This breaks continuity within the series, and would have worked better if overwhelming hordes of mindless zombies were left to overthrow Fiddler's Green.

There seems to be an utter loss of direction in LAND OF THE DEAD that severely detracts from the film. The dead are left forgotten in the background as the living front their feeble uprising. Romero injects enough of his trademarked social commentary to credit the script with some intelligence, though LAND OF THE DEAD falls far behind NIGHT, DAWN, and DAY.

Tierra de los Muertos (2005)

Sinopsis:

Un líder mercenario se enfrenta a un camarada rebelde, mientras zombies devoradores de carne amenazan su ciudad.

Opinión:

Hasta el momento, mi favorita de la saga de Zombies de George A. Romero (me falta Diary y Survival of the Dead).

Mejora en muchos aspectos a sus antecesoras, los zombies han evolucionado constantemente y son mas inteligentes. El gore y violencia son más explícitos y hay mucha acción, pero por sobretodo, toneladas de Zombies. Los personajes están ok, tenemos a Asia Argento como Co Protagonista y es la única película donde esta chica me cae bien, por otro lado está Denis Hooper como el antagonista quien a mi juicio hubiese deseado que muriera al principio de la película, no recuerdo el nombre del protagonista, el típico héroe que no impresiona a nadie y finalmente John Leguízamo haciendo de algo parecido a un anti héroe que pese a ser un completo idiota, logra caer bien.

Una vez más se expone de manera implícita mensajes y sátiras sociales, en este caso de la elite de clase alta y la clase baja dejando en claro que ni todo el dinero del mundo ni tu estatus te librará de dejar este mundo, todos nacemos sin nada y nos iremos sin nada.

Valoración:

4.5 ⭐ de 5 ⭐

Why make it like every other zombie movie out there? Romero changed up the formula for a zombie movie a little bit and I think it worked in my opinion. I think the acting was just fine, hell; even the zombies were showing emotion. The movie continues to get a bad reputation from people who were expecting another "common" zombie movie. Actually making offensive comments if you enjoyed the movie, I don't know about you but that seems a little biased; and childish. All and all, I'd say the movie is one to enjoy; regardless what others might say or even what I say. Expand

Oh please "Anonymous", and anyone else out there so ignorantlycomplaining-- ever since 1968 with Romero's original, zombie movies OF COURSE have freaking political messages and commentary. Ever since Night of the Living Dead, political Oh please "Anonymous", and anyone else out there so ignorantlycomplaining-- ever since 1968 with Romero's original, zombie movies OF COURSE have freaking political messages and commentary. Ever since Night of the Living Dead, political and social commentary and allegories have become a trademark of the better horror movies, and is certainly an expected tradition. Anyone who doesn't honestly know that must have little to no knowledge of horror whatsoever. And did you even watch this movie? The zombies **SPOILER** freaking evolved to be able to use guns and run, not to mention communicate, so how did were they "the speed out a one legged Zebra" (which doesn't even make sense, learn to check your reviews). This film, while not a hallmark like Romero's original trilogy, proves that the zombie master can still make relevant and exciting zombie films, all while blowing rip-off filmmakers out of the water. No matter how many 28 Days Later and Romero remakes people out there make, there is still only going to be one master. Expand

In 1979, "Dawn of the Dead" showed the idiotic consumption society of the country. "Land of the Dead" now criticizes the diferences betwenn the social classes and the indifference that the human beigns show when dealing with the reality that surround them. But, above all this, the end of the movie can disappoint, it's a little empty and the character of the zombie lidder isn't well explored. About the cast, only the interpretation of the actors Dennis Hopper as the powerful Kauffman and John Leguizamo as the mercenary Cholo (with his sarcastic latin accent) impress in this movie. "Land of the Dead" brought back that old and good inteligente horror from George A. Romero. But it's still far away from being the best movie about living deads! Expand
