Shaun Of The Dead Reviews

OH YES!!!

What a film! It's really hard to find a horror/comedy that keeps you laughing all the way through but 'Shaun of the Dead' did just that!

The gags at the beginning were just as good as the ones at the end.... AND YET! still paid homage to the 1978 'Dawn of the Dead' film it was obviously based on.

You must see this film!!!!!

[Highly rated reviewer]

A smirkable disappointment...

If you have ever watched Peter Jackson's brilliant, low budget comedy horror films, in particular 'Brain dead', I am sure that like me, you would expect much more from the likes of Edgar Wright...or would you? Who the hell is Edgar Wright anyway? Should I be surprised that this derived, unoriginal, miserable attempt at a comedy horror clearly sucks the big one? If Simon Pegg and his chubby companion are getting paid for this garbage then sign me up... and put me down for the sequal. I digress, this may be slightly amusing but people, if you want something funny, then leave this movie well alone.

Darkness + Light, Shaun Of The Dead Is Fantastic

This film has bags of laughs, scares and some genuinely moving moments to boot. As a fan of Spaced I was a bit worried how it would all translate to the big screen but it does so with a bang - I'd already rate it as one of the best Brit films made and those who cannot appreciate it are lacking a funny bone. Simply brilliant.

Left me cold....

We've had comments that this is a great british comedy - sorry, but I just didn't get it, on any level. There was the odd clever moment, but there weren't enough to sustain what might have beean a reasonable half- hour. It just went on, and on and on... even the conclusion (if that's what it was) only raised a grimace.

If this is great comedy, I'll stick with my original thought that to be charitable, it might be a great english comedy, but up here we need something to laugh at... but this just wasn't it.

Another Triumph For Pegg and Wright!

Awesome! If you like 'Spaced', watch this. If you like 'Evil Dead', watch this. If you like any other Britsh Comedies, watch this. It beats them all. Simon Pegg is a genius. He can write, and act so so so so so well. He thoroughly deserves his cult reputation.

This is one to watch for anyone who's ever liked any zombie film, and for those who worry about it being all guts and blood, it's not. There is far more dead pan, and downright silly humour on display than internal organs here! There is a nice story running throughout, and unlike many zombie flicks the characters are wholly believable, and the viewer empathises with them all.

Watch it now, you'll love it, even if you've never seen a zombie movie before.

Very poor.

Expected a lot and was very disappointed. Very few gags and not much in the way of originality... Why the hype...!?

Wow

Simply the best comedy I have seen in a very long time. Takes a little while to get started but as soon as the first zombie appears, its absolutely fantastic!

The cast are great and there are some cool cameos, pretty much a who's who of british comedy. See this film at all costs!

Spaced with zombies.

If you like Spaced, you'll like this. It's basically one long laugh, from start to finish, paying homage to all good zombie movies along the way. Personally, I might have to see it again... I think I missed half the gags from laughing too much! Go and see it!

Oh, and you've got some red on you.

Rom-zom-com classic!

Simon Pegg and Nick frost make an amazing comedy duo in this Homage to The Zombie genre. The nods towards The "Of the Dead" trilogy will keep the purists happy and the fast paced popular culture comedy will drag the rest of you in as well.

The dead eyed comedy of the year! Will become a cult classic and no mistake,

you know it!

Poor

After all the hype about this film I was expecting a cult classic but was not impressed at all. Only laughing mildly in places I would not recommend this movie.
