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.

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 ⭐… Expand
