Thread: People who prefer Dawn of the Dead 1978 over the 2004 version

Started 1 month, 2 weeks ago by TheCheek
Are you all kidding me!?!? The remake was edgy, fast, slow and creepy and occassionaly hilarious all at once. It was superior in every way, even in story in my opinion. And before anyone says it, no I'm not some goofy Generation Y kid who is only impressed by CGI and kabooms and blah blah. I chalk up people who say they prefer this over the remake into: A) Older folks who maybe snuck into...

Yeah, fack people and their own opinions! There is only one guarantee: none of us will see heaven.

I guess I missed out on the subtleties of the edgy, fast, slow and creepy scenes. "This is the internet. We don't have sex."

To: TheCheek Or: C) The people who don't respect anyone who can't come up with an original idea so resort to doing unnecessary rehashes. Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

TheCheek replied 1 month, 2 weeks ago
But the rehash WAS necessary! Blue zombies? Bad acting? The original wasn't the absolute worst movie I have ever seen but I there's no way it's superior to the remake. Gretzky Tribute http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFX0dVXNDXw

I can't give a fair opinion on the original, as the first ten minutes were so bad I couldn't continue, but I highly doubt that's why people like it. I do like the remake, but it's nothing spectacular. Just solid entertainment. Kitsch-ass list. BLOG: stammitti.wordpress.com

It was in no way necessary. It wasn't bad by any means, and certainly better than the Day of the Dead remake, but it did nothing that the original hadn't already done. Besides, fast zombies suck. Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

They really shouldn't have called it a remake (and gave it a different title) ... except for the zombies and the mall setting, completely two different films. and I'm sorry what is edgy about the remake... besides fast zombies (which was already done in 28 days Later), the film offers absolutely nothing to the zombie genre... it is mindless entertainment, with stereotypical hollywood ...

You must be a fan of Day of the Dead (2008) and Day of the Dead 2: Contagium also. Just goes to show the creditability of your opinion... Hickory dickory dock. Cain has picked his lock.

The remake was edgy No it wasn't and that is the primary reason many people prefer the original.

Okay I watched about three minutes of that socail commentary and couldn't take it anymore! Incidentally, am I demented for laughing at the dead weasel at 1:20 of that clip?!? The bar fight scene was incredible! "I cut you!!" and the bit where Steve lands a 5 hit combo on the 60 year old man were the hi lites for me! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vk5pcjCwyQ&feature=related

It's been a while since I've seen the Dawn remake, so my memory is a little fuzzy. I don't recall if there were some straight up deaths caused by stupidity, but there were certainly some close calls. *The dude keeping his pregnant wife around after being bitten *There's also another couple that show up later on in the movie. One has been bitten and is obviously sick but they just kind of leave her unattended on a bed...

It wasn't a conclusion in the first place. It was pithy jab at a film I don't like. It wasn't a movie review. I'm beginning to feel embarrassed for you. "What you call love was invented by guys like me, to sell nylons."

"The remake was edgy, fast, slow and creepy and occassionaly hilarious all at once" So it was fast and slow all at the same time. That IS quite an accomplishment. "This is the internet. We don't have sex."

It's not up to anyone to "convince" you of anything, other than the fact of your poor posting manners.
