3.5/10 rounded up.

A World War II drama? A campy gorefest romp? Well, it's actually all of these to some extent or another, and the fusion never really meshes as audiences try to guess where this boring, meandering slog is going to go next. From my perspective, it works best as a campy gorefest, something it finally gets around to being about 30 minutes from the end. Had it stuck to this formula throughout, it would have been a much more entertaining picture. As it stands now, though, it doesn't seem to know what it wants to be, and that, unfortunately, represents a major missed opportunity.… Expand

Unfortunately I was expecting a lot more than what I got. It hints at somethingDisappointing is how I would best describe this movie. It wasn't a bad movie. In fact, it was pretty good as far as general movie standards go for the most part. Unfortunately I was expecting a lot more than what I got. It hints at something far more interesting than just a generic World War 2 zombie movie, but never gets past that. If that's all that you're looking for, you'll probably find this movie enjoyable. If you're looking for some interesting, creative horror, then you most definitely will be disappointed as I was.

It feels like they blew most of the movie's effects budget on the first act, which was pretty spectacular, but made for a pretty lackluster generic and very predictable second act. I was expecting something a little more fascinating from J.J. Abrams and instead got his most tame, "general audience pleaser" yet.

Skip this in the theater. Catch it on Netflix but make sure you have something else to do while you put this on in the background. There's no real reason to give this one your full attention.… Expand

I was definitely not bored, and the American soldiers were very ingratiating, partly because none of them were in the war by choice (the Nazis were all aggressive brutes, of course). The Americans and the French were the good guys – and to stack the deck on the French side, we only met a young woman pursued sexually by the Nazi commander, a young boy clutching a baseball, and an aunt disfigured by the Germans. So, okay, nothing was subtle in this movie, but the film was lively and inventive, and I enjoyed it.… Expand

The lead character is a sadistic Nick Fury type blood and guts no-nonsense soldier and he has to lead this pansy-ass group into the mission .He should have had a cigar.It would've been a nice touch. Worth seeing on cheap tuesday at a discount. Very noisy,lots of closeup action. Fun.… Expand

Overlord is not a bad movie, I believe it is just another entertaining action/mystery movie with a good balance of both genres. There was enough action to keep it entertaining and enough of a mystery to keep you watching, but ultimately, inOverlord is not a bad movie, I believe it is just another entertaining action/mystery movie with a good balance of both genres. There was enough action to keep it entertaining and enough of a mystery to keep you watching, but ultimately, in the end, it is a tad too predictable, and a little bit unoriginal.

The movie centres around a squadron of soldiers sent to destroy a radio control tower to help pave the way for the D-Day landing and invasion of Normandy, while they are on that mission, they start to unravel mysteries about what the SS division is doing in a small village of coastal France.

I walked into this expecting Nazi zombies from Call of Duty, or an Americanized version of Dead Snow, instead I feel like I just watched Return to Castle Wolfenstein as a movie. Mathilde Ollivier (Chloe) & Pilou Asbæk (Wafner) both did a fine job of portraying their characters and the movie has enough going for it to convince any fans of the Mystery/Action genre to take a look at it, although I believe that calling this a horror movie is a bit of a stretch.

+ Great atmosphere
+ Good characters
+ Entertaining movie
+ Good mystery elements
+ Good "zombie" design
+ Well done suspenseful moments

- Unoriginal (If you recognize the titles I mentioned earlier, especially Wolfenstein)
- Some contrived plot moments
- Missed opportunities
- Some forgettable characters
- Labeling this as a horror/zombie flick is a bit debatable

Overall this was a good action/mystery flick that kept me entertained for 100 minutes and did not become instantly stale/tiresome like some others in the genre tend to. I have to say that more time dealing with the monsters/zombies/creations etc., would have been more beneficial to this movie, but it is in no means a waste of money. My score is a 6.5/10.… Expand

In the first place because of the expectations that it raised because it's a project of J.J. Abrams who was initially believed to be another film in the Cloverfield universe and later for the good reviews it received, which I find difficult to understand.

Overlord works with its mix of genres but is not as effective as it boasts or as entertaining as advertised. It's difficult for it to gain momentum and it loses it because of its simple environment. Practically after they are thrown from the plane, the film only becomes a round trip in the same places to solve the mystery.

I applaud the work of production, visual effects and makeup but the story, the cast and the conclusion seemed too irregular.

It's definitely an ideal film for a weekend for the kind of entertainment it offers but in the end Overlord is also a quite forgettable experience.… Expand

It avoids going into the cheesy territory, which I apreciate. Nazi zombies doesn't have to be the exclusive domain of schlock.
It succeeds in what it's trying to do, but the premise of Nazis performing insane experiments could have been explored a bit more. Sadly the movie seems content in using it only as an excuse for the zombies to show up, which frankly, is starting to get tired at this point. Most of action scenes are excellent, with one or two exceptions where the fighting lacked a certain "depth" that was present in the rest.
Acting was good across the board, not amazing, but good, though some characters felt under-utilized, making me think the movie could have benefited from a somewhat longer runtime.

All in all, it's a good action movie, with an excellent horror movie hiding within it. The further exploration of certain elements in the narrative could have elevated Overlord from good, to great.… Expand

It involved a small group of American soldiers being dropped behind enemy lines during the D-Day invasion...but with a twist! The Nazis are performing supernatural experiments on their prisoners to use against the American soldiers. While this was an interesting idea and it definitely proved a wild ride on several occasions, in the end it felt like nothing too spectacular or memorable to me, not to mention there were several predictable jump scares almost anyone will see coming from a mile away. Combining genres can be effective sometimes, but in this case, crossing a war film with a zombie/supernatural thriller proved pretty scattershot and a little too all over the place for my liking. Overall, it's fun at times, but also pretty messy and chaotic as a whole (both literally and figuratively speaking.)… Expand

Overlord will be produced by JJ Abrams (Super 8 and Star Wars The Force Awakens),QUICK! Start all the Cloverfield Universe theories before it’s too late! Alright,all jokes aside,uhh...What’s to say really about Overlord,other than it’s a gorefest full of moments so fun you could make a poem about it and just use the adjective FUN for every word? Or,you know,just stick to the song from SpongeBob about Fun….
This will probably be a tough one to review,since everything about it was full of wonderment,right down to the script,which manages to keep a fair balance between action,campiness and straight up horror stuff. Like,hell...If you’ll see the Paramount logo in black and white,followed by a Fallout-ish opening,you know you’ll be in for a ride.
It’s a Saving Private Ryan-esque story mashed with a B-Movie plot about Zombinazis and immortal beings that should feel like they had two different movies and the studio mashed them together...But NO. This is reality,oh holy TNTs!
It’s also surprisingly easy to follow,considering it’s a (sort of) War Movie,and usually these kind of movies have a tough time to let the audience follow the story
Even the cinematography is to be praised,as director Julius Avery said they wanted to do this whole minute of “just a shot” on purpose,and it felt crazy for the director,but hey,you have JJ Abrams as a producer,so of course everything can happen in Production. This whole minute of ‘Just a Shot’ is just as intense as the ‘just a shot’ in Mandy where Nic Cage is mourning for the death of his wife.
And all the violence in this movie,man… Like,2018 is proving to be a violent year for independent movies. Revenge started the year with a girl shooting a guy’s arm in a non-American style,followed by Mandy with a scene where Nic Cage rips a guy’s head in MASS INSANITY (alongside a glorious Chainsaw Fight),and now here we have Overlord,with a guy’s head exploding through a grenade in his mouth,a gal’s head and spine trapped that can still talk (with some serious RoboCop 2014 vibes) and a badass lady shooting a zombie with a flamethrower (just as epic as the last shot in A Quiet Place,I might say). And no matter how simple it is,but Jed Kurzel’s take on a bad guy theme will always be fun to hear,with those threatening violins going in a serious and...Well,”threatening” way.
If I had to point some flaws,just the fact that for the first 40 mins or so,the movie is overly dark. I didn’t have a problem with it,but it may be annoying for some viewers.
And the sound reel I had in my theater (a traditional Digital Theater) feels like it belongs to an IMAX copy of it (which makes sense,considering the release of the movie in IMAX,although in Italy we don’t have it,what the hell?).
But above the flaws… Roses are red,Violets are blue,Birds are chirping through the clouds,Overlord is super fun and depending on your point of view,you’re destined to have a great time at this ‘what is supposed to be’ Trashy War B-Movie.… Expand

The thing is thatOverlord is about a group of WWII soldiers who encounter evil Nazi zombie experiments in an occupied French town. I walked into this having already heard positive reviews, but I was still surprised at how much I liked this. The thing is that the basic story is predictable. Everything happens like you'd think it would happen. However, the thing is so well done, the simplicity didn't matter.

The action is appropriately violent and nicely executed. There is one scene in particular that is wonderfully shot and may be near the top of my list. This is kind of a genre mix as this is much a war film as a horror one. You have to wait for the zombies, but there is enough violence and the basic fear of who could go next that it probably won't be an issue for you.

I liked that they the zombies aren't uniform. They're distinctive and freaky looking creatures.

There was a rumor that this was being considered for part of the Cloverfield series. I can see why. Overlord has a similar quality. Solid action horror is combined with tight dialogue and characterization. (There are even a few funny lines.) Also has a good cast all around.… Expand

Muy buena, emocionante, historia dinámica, creíble hasta cierto punto. El cast es desconocido, no actúan bien, pero la acción la salva por mucho. Muy similar a Guerra mundial Z

Imagine a historically accurate WW2 movie with true to life discrimination, racism and responsible personalities that don't like killing or being in Germany. Now toss that out of a window, and suspense your sense of disbelief for Overlord.Imagine a historically accurate WW2 movie with true to life discrimination, racism and responsible personalities that don't like killing or being in Germany. Now toss that out of a window, and suspense your sense of disbelief for Overlord. Overlord is a Horror/Science fiction movie set in WW2 about a squad that has to take out a tower on a church held by Germans. But somehow, the Germans have found Mr. Hyde juice underground, and inject people with it to turn them into 70's horror characters. Apart from an American GI Joe that watched too many not yet existing movies and some whiny stereotypes, it's basically a woke squad of 5 people against a German army.

Plot armor and PC culture save the day, as an African-American private (didn't happen because of racism) and a French hooker cliché their way to victory. That's really all i can say without spoiling this contrived Sitcom of a movie. The little kid in this movie is hilarious though. He makes funny (out of place) faces, and runs into gunfights while screaming as if he's doing a Rohirrim charge. I think he was supposed to star in a home alone movie, but got the studios mixed up and now plays in a WW2 horror movie.

It's an average movie. I give it a 6/10.… Expand

Loved this movie. It felt like it was right out of call of duty zombies. It was a tad slow in the mid part, but picked up fast and took off. If you love zombies and WWII movies combine them and watch this.

A good fun ride.. Started very well, lots of good atmosphere a hell of a soundtrack/effects.. but it all just becomes a little stale by the end.. an opportunity missed.

You know, it's entirely possible to make a sensitive protagonist that's not a useless wimp. Unfortunately, Overlord didn't get this memo as all its lead's emotions prove good for are repeatedly screwing things up for everybody and making eyesYou know, it's entirely possible to make a sensitive protagonist that's not a useless wimp. Unfortunately, Overlord didn't get this memo as all its lead's emotions prove good for are repeatedly screwing things up for everybody and making eyes at the local French girl. It's like Julius Avery decided to take Finn from Star Wars and make him twice the hapless idiot without any of the charm that made him a likable doofus. The rest of the cast fares no better as they all get stuck playing overused stereotypes that are painfully underdeveloped.

That whole Nazi zombie premise? Yeah, that never comes to fruition. It takes until the darn near end of the movie to see any of these mutated freaks, and even then it's only really the big baddie himself who gets to do anything. The majority of the running-time is instead dedicated to watching the characters hide in an attic from German troops that are apparently deaf to gunfire and screaming. Not exactly riveting cinema.

The film looks great though. The gore effects are incredible and the underground laboratory looks like it was ripped straight from Call of Duty. It even gets the tone right by never taking itself too seriously and having something of a knowing sense of humor. The action just isn't as good as the presentation though, and that's a huge letdown. I've seen a lot of people compare Overlord to a videogame, but don't expect it to deliver the feeling of actually getting to play through one. This is more like watching all of the cutscenes and then skipping right to the final boss battle, which isn't much fun.

4.4/10… Expand
