South Park died after they insulted Xi with that special. After that they tried to shame pure bloods and failing miserably.
It’s almost like the Russo brothers saw what people’s main critique of their Marvel films was, and thought: well fuck you, we can be stylish if we want to.
So instead of doing another Marvel film, they opted to make something that will remind you more of a Michael Bay or a bad Danny Boyle film.
Like, the directing is really annoying and excessive.
Also, I think there’s a bit of a disconnect between how dumb this character acts versus how overintelligent Holland and the Russos are trying to portray him through the (unnecessary) narration and dialogue.
A shame really, because I think the script checks a lot of boxes, and the cinematography is certainly better than any of their Marvel films.
The score isn’t half bad either.
The most positive thing I can say is this: I like that the film is at least trying something different.
It’s just a shame that the horrendous directing constantly takes you out of the story.5/10

@jordyep Anyone that can suffer 3 minutes of a Marvel movie should not comment on directing. The directing was the best part. Such beautiful touches that most people don't notice.

10 idiots talking over each other while someone is trying to yell over all of them in almost every scene does not make for tension, it's just incredibly annoying for two hours. Seriously, most of the movie consisted of me trying not to scream "shut the fuck up!" Sometimes real is not better.
Also why the hell was the weekend in this? Absolutely pointless extra scene for a cameo. If this was a Nick Cage movie, people would be rating it a 3.loading replies
@schmenky Nothing more annoying that watching a movie and having two people wait for each other to deliver their stale lines.
Complaint: .5/no on cares.
i love this film but i have a question...how can they fart?
loading replies
@ciphernigma I thought I was the only one thinking this. Surely the deaf girl must have farting not knowing it had sound.
Looks like Power Rangers meets Transformers meets Chronicle meets Fantastic Four reboot.

@jim222001 I think you mean 'garbage', Jim.
The movie doesn't really explain that previously there was a zombie attack and everyone bitten has to shoot up Zombrex to keep the virus back and stop from turning into a zombie. Honestly, the entire movie's story was quite hazy. You kinda get it halfway through where a reporter and a random woman bitten by a zombie kinda get a move on with it. I think the movie references parts from the video game series that would make it easier to understand for players of the game, but most of it won't make sense if you didn't play the game (like me). Without this knowledge, this is just a zombie movie with a weak story.

That was literally the first scene of the movie.
