Point of correction, go back and check my initial review.
I didn't condemn the movie.


My grouse is with the Scott character not the movie.
2dice01:
Can you and all the other criticizing this movie mention your top 20 zombie movies of all time cheesy

The problem with most people is you expect so much from a particular individual/people forgetting they are Humans as you
And you hate people for no Godamn reason

I was watching Martel Cypher 1 (ft M.i *A.Q* Loose Kaynon & Blaqbonez) reaction on YouTube
Immediately M.i started rapping one of the guys (4 non Nigeria Guys)told the others that M.i is the MainGuy
Just see how everyone were so serious expect him to go "kanye" on everyline
At the end they rated him lowest cheesy
Typical Human style

Personally I don't fancy Ironman and Batman but you won't see me say crap about them

Well even if you die for people
Them go still say You no die well grin

If you ask them to list their best movies, it might all be trash.

AOTD isn't even the best movie out there but its quality. It's trending on twitter for a reason.


Lol....you need to stop generalising. Abeg. AOTD is full of cliches

Also, please read my comment on the movie. Dawn of the dead (original) is one of my favourite movies.

GracieX3:

SPOILER ALERT!! SPOILERS AHEAD FOR ARMY OF THE DEAD.

You are a specialist in trash. You can hype garbage.

Army of the dead was just action.

There are so many better zombie movies.

This movie is a rinse and repeat of Zack Snyder's remake of Dawn of the dead, albeit with a few differences.

A team goes to a location, location gets overrun with zombies, survivors escape with helicopter....then reveal at the end that the zombie nightmare is not over.


The only thing this movie adds is zombies with some intelligence (2 other zombie movies already tried this).

Army of the dead is cliche after cliche

1. INFESTED CITY TO BE NUKED ON A COUNTDOWN WHICH PUTS PRESSURE ON PROTAGONISTS- CHECK RESIDENT EVIL

2. ESCAPE ZOMBIES ON HELICOPTER- CHECK DAWN OF THE DEAD AND REAIDENT EVIL

3. TWO SURVIVORS OR AT LEAST 80% OF GOOD GUYS DIE. CHECK DAWN OF THE DEAD.

4. INTELLIGENT ZOMBIE HAS A BABE. CHECK I AM LEGEND

5. VILLAIN BETRAYS TEAM BECAUSE OF ULTERIOR MOTIVE. CHECK


The movie is just an average zombie movie.

Spoken out of ignorance. If you read my comment on this movie, you would understand the mindset of a ZOMBIE MOVIE AFICIONADO.

I watch a lot of zombie movies and I can guarantee you that army of the dead is a formulaic and cliched movie.

The good side of the movie is that it has some.good actors and the action is okay.

The name of their mercenary group is Las Vengeance and that guy is in all probability military trained.


You don't become a sharpshooter of that quality by doing target practice on the street and did you notice how his female companion, Chambers was handling business with the zombies before she was sabotaged..... That is military grade shiit.
That's your answer.

Oh okay.
Please explain what you expect from a zombie movie! Some supernatural or walking dead shit?
It's just like telling us you expect something else from a superhero movie other than the usual hero villain stuff.
Superman and Louis, Jupiters legacy and co tried something different (family) Una still complain.

Tell us what you expect from a modern day zombie movie Mr director.

This is the problem with Nigerian education. Philosophy is not taught in secondary schools. People lack understanding of film tropes, literary devices and criticism.

Nowadays, movie audiences (western educated) are smarter and are aware of cliches and repetitions. One has to either create something new or subvert expectations.

For instance, the dark Knight brought out a new type of villain- the joker: a villain who couldn't be reasoned with, charismatic and crazy. A homicidal maniac who enjoyed toying comically with victims. Not only that, it was the only movie at that time that grounded superhero movies in a gritty reality- no superpowers. The dark Knight brought something new to superhero genre.

Then, we have the boys, who subverted the idea of good superheroes. The powerful superheroes are all corrupt. It showed that those with powers will abuse it and wouldn't be good like superman. It was bloody and gritty.

Then, we have subversion in Invincible. Invincible subverted the superhero genre by making it bloody and making a twist where a central character who was regarded as good to be a monstrous beast who saw humans as pets. Not only that, it showed the strugglea and reality of superheroes.


You see, nowadays, for modern audiences to really appreciate your movie, you need something fresh or subversive.


Now, Army of the dead refused to do anything new. They just gave the zombies extra intelligence, which is not really a new thing. See land of the dead.

What Army of the dead could have done is to pit 3 teams of military personnel against each other in a zombie infested Las Vegas to compete for the money while the intelligent zombies pick them off.

Also, Army of the dead could have made the movie more tactical. There should have been different ways of killing the zombies. The smart zombies could have a weakness because of their higher intelligence. Maybe they could only hunt at night which would make the stakes higher and force the team to hold out till morning- seige style.
