In a modern-day world where the walking dead roam an uninhabited wasteland, the living try to lead "normal" lives behind the walls of a fortified city. A new society has been built by a handful of enterprising, ruthless opportunists, who live in the towers of a skyscraper, high above the hard-scrabble existence on the streets below. But outside the city walls, an army of the dead is evolving. Inside, anarchy is on the rise. With the very survival of the city at stake, a group of hardened mercenaries is called into action to protect the living from an army of the dead.

It's been a long while since George Romero released a movie in theaters. A long a** while. The last movie he made, Bruiser, wasn't exactly what you'd call very "good", but who cares? The guy was supposed to make the Resident Evil movie back in the day before Paul Anderson got the job. His script was rejected, and the monkeys who rejected it got Paul Anderson to do the Resident Evil movies, where he turned the first one into an OK horror/action movie, and turned the second movie into a complete piece of crap. Anderson's movies had no almost no relation to the games, and the movies weren't even that bloody. But, luckily, after last year's bad-a** Dawn of the Dead remake, they let Romero make another Dead movie of his own (it was about d**n time). And here it is. Land of the Dead. One truly bad-a** movie.

The recent trend in movies is to make them all PG-13 so little b***tards can go see them, jump up and down on the seats, and complain nonstop. EH-EH!! Not in this movie. There's gore up the a**, it's wall to wall blood and guts throughout. And what's riding in the front seat with the guts? One of the things that every movie needs: Bullets. You can't have blood and gore without bullets, and this movie has lots of em'. But wait! There's more! The movie has zombies. You put bullets, blood, gore, and zombies together, you have one bad-a** movie.

The story for this installment is this: The living dead have basically taken over the world, but a bunch of people have secluded themselves behind the walls of a fortified city, where it's divided two ways: Rich people, and people who aren't rich. Obviously, this might be a social commentary on something, but who cares, right? The whole point of this movie is to show off the cool zombies, the guns, and the blood, and it does just that.

I'll admit, I'm not too much of a fan of Day and Dawn, and I was doubting this. I thought George Romero wouldn't be able to make a modern horror movie these days, but I was wrong. This movie was entertaining, and luckily, unlike the Resident Evil movies, the action doesn't outweigh the horror, it was a perfect hybrid in here. Usually, I complain when a movie doesn't have any good Gwar tunes, but honestly, this movie didn't need any. It's that d**n good.

Go see this movie. Maybe if it makes enough money, the same morons who rejected Romero for Resident Evil will finally pull their heads out of their a**es, fire Paul Anderson, and get Romero to make the third movie. Land of the Dead is bad-a**. It's got cool characters, nonstop gore and violence and shooting, and cool makeup. It's so good, you won't even care that it doesn't have Gwar tunes in it.

to be honest, it sucks. <_< nah! jus kiddin. :D opinion ko lang is that it doesn't measure up to Romero's other movies. mas maganda yung Dawn of the Dead nung 1978 and the remake last year. :lol:
