Rated: 3.0/5.0
Director: Zack Snyder
In 2004, Zack Snyder made his directorial debut with Dawn of the Dead, a remake of 1978 classic by George A. Romero. While not as critically well-received as the original the remake was entertaining to watch and became a box office success and now 17 years later Snyder returns to the genre with Army of the Dead, with an original story that is written by him as well as has him taking over the role of cinematographer.
Snyder has always been a mixed bag for me. His movies often have great action set pieces which are shot well and some funny and a bit cheesy jokes which when paired with a solid script have produced some movies that I have enjoyed watching like his adaption of the comic Watchmen and 300, but when there is no script we get movies like Sucker Punch and Batman V Super Man though the movie studio should bear some responsibility for the latter.
Army Of The Dead Review
Summary:
Netflix and Zack Snyder s Army of the Dead is a big, bad, bonkers and incredibly violent delight of a zombie movie.
For better or worse, Netflix’s
Army of the Dead is Zack Snyder in his purest form. He may have carved out the early years of the DCEU in his own image, with
Man of Steel,
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and HBO Max’s
His superhero epics were overlong, often ponderous and a little too self-serious for their own good, as if he was battling against his own instincts on whether to paint them as tragedies of gods and men inspired by ancient mythology, or deliver the more straightforward crowd-pleasing superhero blockbusters that the studio clearly wanted all along.
