Itโ€™s still the best zombie movie of all time.

The Dawn of the Dead remake was one of the only decent remakes in modern times. It wasnโ€™t as good as the original, but I enjoyed it at the time.

The setting, set design, cinematography, the special effects, it's all flawless

but I fuckin hate this movie so much just because it's just people shouting at each other and having one emotional breakdown after another
Except for the obvious survivors, everyone is either weak or disgusting or insane and extremely annoying in their own way.

like what did they all have to be upset and so crazy about? They could have left at any time, but no let's sit there and be angry at each other like the world's worst family dinner in every scene.

>>211887629
His original trilogy was perfect. He sold the rights when he got old because he needed the money so a bunch of stinkers were made under the title "___ Of The Dead"
>>211890209
I wouldn't even consider it a remake desu. Aside from being set in a mall it's basically just an edgy 2000s zombie movie with no connection beyond a Ken Foree and Tom Savini cameo. I still love it, of course. It's great.

Isn't that exactly what the army guys and the civvies feel like? Rhodes outright says it to the scientists and the pilot guy says it to Sarah multiple times, hell, it's what they end up doing in the end.

I think the idea is that the plan was originally for the army guys to help out the scientists for a cure or whatever but overtime they all got cold feet when they realised how impossible of a task it was.

Not as good as Night or Dawn sorry. Debatably not even as good as the remake of Night or Dawn. At least nothing can be as bad as the Day remake.

Why were the scientists such shitheads? Frankenstein was a psycho feeding people to his pet zombie and the other two were just useless. I'm not even sure what the fuck they were supposed to be doing. Making a cure? Who knows. But they acted like entitled cunts to the guys who were getting killed wrangling zombies for their pointless experiments.

okay this is a good shot but the movie sucks overall
>>211891678

Correct. Good man.

Day of the Dead SUCKS, and /tv/'s wrongheaded affinity for it is is one of its greatest collective defects in taste. /tv/ Day appreciatiors shall always remain wrong. /tv/ looks at a turd and they see beauty where very little exists.

Despite a few redeeming qualities, Day of the Dead is in actual fact, and far and way, the worst of the original trilogy. The original crystallized the premise, and the sequel, the original Dawn (the best zombie film), apotheosized the siege concept which underpins the modern genre (the original film is a small siege). What is terrible about Day is the hamming and amateurish bitching among the main cast, and no, their situation doesn't excuse the amateurish delivery of the actors. Especially bad is the early scene in the conference room where the actors bitch at each other, establishing conflict. Equally stupid is the Snidely Whiplash "Bad Guy" who, although he can be argued to be a rational actor, nevertheless manages to come off as an asshole because that's just how bad his acting is, and that's just how stupid /tv/ are for liking him as a character. Nor is John Goodman sidekick any better. Nor is the weak swarthy "good guy" who somehow is the woman's boyfriend (what does she see in him?!). The official purpose of the lab is stupid (thus, so is its lead doctor). I cannot overstate that THERE ISN'T ANYONE WORTH LIKING. /tv/ only really likes the movie for its full-color gore, and they choose to ignore the crappy acting or worse, praise it. The Thing, by contrast, has both competent acting and gore to boot. I REALLY hate the acting in Day, and you should too. You should reject the idea that it is a good film.

Still, there's a few cool shots which /tv/ mistakes as markers for an overall good film: the dream sequence hands, the title screen itself, and the dread of the bus-sized lowered platform, delivering doom. All these are overshadowed by a rational viewer's lack of concern for the characters.

Neither did they. Some researchers desperately looking for some solution are sent to a bunker by the government with some army guys to protect them. At some point they lost contact and they're all just completely lost except to keep doing what they were doing before.

He didn't have to sell the rights to the original film. He utterly failed to declare the original film to be under copyright where it counts/is legally determinative, and therefore it was adjudged to be a public domain film right off the bat. The kind of basic fuckup that would make any competent producer or studio wince.

What's funny is this guy shouldn't be a threat at all. I guess he could tear at you, but no ability to bite or eat and can hardly see
