Okay so this movie rly sucked it went against like every zombie rule and it seamed like the only thing the director was doing was trying to make it bloodier that Dawn of the dead. well congrats i guess you did it. you made a crapy poorly presented version of a zombie movie.
I don't know of any new movies coming out. LotD was original because it had a bit of the Mad Max feel in there. There was no- Oh I have a beautiful life - now watch it all go to hell.

The only thing that really bummed me out about Land of the Dead, is that the undead started learning. I mean, crap, it wasn't a good enough monster in the first place? Hadn't we established that the undead had handed humanity its _ss? There was plenty of story line in the fact we had lost so badly; and what we would do about it.
As an aside I just hate it when they mix the peanut butter with the chocolate: werewolves mating with vampires, zombies hooked on phonics. It waters down a great concept, and comes perilously close to being just derivative rather than creative.
There was this really, borrowing a Sanchez phrase, hippy ideal going on in this thing. When did it become okay for the undead "tribe" to go off and "do its own thing?" I think that was an image in the end of the film where the humans had a drop on the undead "characters," and chose to do nothing. Really? You won't do me that favor and knock off some undead, so that I hapless human down the road, don't have to face them? Thanks a bunch, "heroes."
And, to give this movie at least a grudging compliment, I did like the Mad Max feel: the societal inequalities, the barbarism of man vs. man, status over humanity and all. That was great. And I think that we'd have Fiddler's Green (?) and the pseudo-Barter Town. Romero has gone to great lengths to establish that We are our own worst enemy.
To conclude, an undead is plenty tough, even not knowing how to fire a gun, and use a flame thrower. We begin to elevate them to just weird, smelly humans.
But really, these aren't fighting words. Just an opinion. I like my dead, dead.
watch Diary of the Dead. very interesting. poses the question, "are we really worth saving" and im ready for the boo hissing, there was Resident Evil: Extinction. post apocalypse zombie fest
Ok, so you are saying you did not like the movie?

Just because....
well in my opinion teh mad max thing what the only thing they had going for them then
I think the whole movie sucked, but as far as the new movie, I've been hearing rumors about a prequal and a sequal to dawn of the dead
EDIT: now that I think of it, what was the deal with the dude with the F-ed up face?
oh it'll get you somewhere, it'll get you bait
