It looks like it has decent cinematography with 'splosions

Wait.... what? I was OK with the fast zombies of the previous movie; they were still creepy mobile corpses that operated blindly on instinct. Basically, they were still metaphors for death itself. But if the zombies are fast, intelligent, organized, and hierarchical, in what way are they zombies? At that point, they're just reanimated people... who are douchebags.
Man, I generally like Zach Snyder's stuff, but this premise seems really ill-conceived.

jangbones - 2021-04-14 Snyder used to be "Michael Bay for people that dropped out of college". He is turning into "Michael Bay".

Aernaroth2 - 2021-04-14 If I had to guess, he's trying to follow Romero's idea for how the Night of the Living Dead 'saga' would go (though he himself took different approaches of what that end looks like), that humanity would adapt around the fact that the dead rise now, and slowly, over time, the dead would become more organized and regain some of their intelligence. We sort of see the start of this in Land of the Dead.

jfcaron_ca - 2021-04-14 The prevalence of zombie movies since the Korean war is a symptom of the dehumanizing of the enemies of America.
I mean specifically the soulless menacing horde that can only be solved by mass violence, not necessarily the oldschool voodoo zombies.
Funnily enough a lot of zombie movies tend to round the corner and end up re-humanizing them.
Note: I pulled this analysis right out of my asshole, don't take it too seriously.

casualcollapse - 2021-04-14 The zombie looks like a man, walks like a man, eats and otherwise functions fully, yet is devoid of the spark. It represents the nagging doubt that lays deep in the heart of even the most zealous believer: behind all of your pretty songs and stained glass, this is what you really are. Shambling meat. Our true fear of the zombie was never that its bite
would turn us into one of them. Our fear is that we are already zombies.

yogarfield - 2021-04-19 I'm just loving that you're all reading into this so hard. It's a stupid fucking zombie movie.
|
Anaxagoras - 2021-04-23 That's kind of our point, though. It's not a zombie movie in any meaningful way.
It's a stupid fucking ______ movie.

Looks about as scary as Cats

Marlon Brawndo - 2021-04-14 The real answer lies in whether or not the zombies will have CGI assholes.

Dawn of the Dead Rising 2
At least Snyder is going back to his one good movie. But most of my excitement died at 2:34. That's worse than Resident Evil grade shit, dipping into Uwe Boll territory.

"I'm going to pay you 500 million dollars to retrieve 200 million dollars."
Yeah, this is a Zack Snyder movie alright.

Is money really still worth anything in a world overrun by zombies?

His first dead movie is his best movie and that's because James Gunn wrote it. The opening sequence is incredible and all Snyder, but he was still working in a box Gunn set up for him.
I really wish he'd just go be the mercenary/second-unit genius he is for other people's stuff instead of this whole pedestrian auteur writer/director of bloated on-the-nose obvious hokum schtick.
Also, his track record of being the absolute worst kind of wedding DJ for music direction continues unimpeded with VEGAS = THE GAMBLER.
