Best movie of this year hands down!
What a waste of my time!!!
everything you have heard about this movie is true.
View MoreGreat story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
View MoreI missed this whole thing with the pilot and the voting and the this and the that, and now the whole project is scrapped. But that will not stop me from reviewing it! Nevar!OK. So, I enjoyed this. The first minutes are absolutely perfect. Sort of clever. Then it goes a little downhill, not a steep hill though. The main problem I think people had with this is that these actors are playing the characters from the movie. That was a mistake. I actually didn't realize it until the at the end, haha. Now, I'm not sure if it would be better to have new characters, but it probably would. The violence is great. There's swearing, which always elevates things. The actors are alright. Yeah it's kind of clichéd here and there, but I think this would have made an entertaining show had it been green-lit. But we will never know now, will we!? Probably not.The guy playing Woody Harrelsons character is sort of funny. Not my favorite cup of tea, but he did alright. The rest ain't much to say about, really. As a TV-short this is enjoyable.'I feel sort of sorry for the actors involved, they were probably real happy to land this part, and then the whole thing just falls apart. Hang in there, folks!
View More* There are spoilers in this review but the show is so awful my review is probably more entertaining than the show. *The Zombieland Pilot from Amazon is just "WOW" but in the worst possible way because it's just completely AWFUL! They took an awesome movie and then butchered EVERYTHING that made it good.1. Same 4 main characters, All actors replaced. Woody is irreplaceable as "Tallahassee".2. Changed Tallahassee's backstory for no reason at all and because of that makes NO SENSE at all as to why he is the way he is. The movie's backstory was perfect.3. Made a bunch of stupid jokes, only one of them landed but it was more of a contagious laugh vs being actually funny.4. Turned Columbus into a useless character who is just irritating. Columbus was meant to be a geek but he has charm and kept everyone alert with the rules. This version is a loser and annoying.5. a TON of Plot Holes!5.1: they repeatedly talk to the LAST OnStar agent trying to find people to join their group but NO ONE they find is ever in a car which makes you think "how the eff does she know where they are?". || why would OnStar even work? How could the system even work with one person...an agent can't maintain a satellite system. || Why is she ALWAYS there? How could she always be there if everyone around her is dead or zombies?5.2: Columbus stops to wash his hands...a water system is not going to keep working without people keeping it working...if almost everyone is dead or zombies then the water and sanitation systems would all be broken.5.3: Where are they getting all of the GAS? They continue on for months and months yet somehow never ran out of gas? Then decide to do a cross-country road trip with gas never being a problem.6. the show is PREDICTABLE and boring...they didn't do anything that I didn't figure out 10 minutes before. I watched the entire episode to write this review but I was hating it within 4-5 minutes. As soon as they explained who the sandwich guy was...instantly turned to crap.Amazon could have made an EPIC show with this IP but they failed in every aspect. The biggest failure is to try and keep the characters from the movie without the actors that made them.This universe could have been used in awesome ways, they should have created a whole new set of characters experiencing Zombieland and told a totally different story that took place in parallel to the movie. Maybe they could have had the original actors do cameos with that structure but is guaranteed they won't now.You could argue "they can't because of the guy's rules needing to be in the show" to I would reply with, "EVERY NERD has rules for this, there are websites devoted to that and they made up stupid rules anyway".Overall = 0.5/10 and I am giving it half a point because it made me laugh that one time. (officially IMDb doesn't allow me to give it less than 1 but 1 is more than it deserves)
View MoreRight off the bat this show seriously annoyed me with the complete lack of any original ideas. Don't get me wrong. I wasn't expecting much, but they couldn't even go so far as to create new characters for the new cast, who look and act nothing like the characters from the movie. Basically the whole show is just some terrible attempt to get ratings based on the viral name of the movie. I would have been able to tolerate the show if they could have been bothered to create a new story, rather than trying to continue the already completed one at any cost. The acting ranges from okay to painfully bad, the writing is worse, and the action is completely unrealistic. I find myself struggling to watch it. I'm gonna go watch walking dead reruns. At least they are well written and generally well performed.
View MoreI watched it with a open mind knowing it could not possibly be like the movie considering the budget/actors and etc. It should not be allowed to carry the Zombieland name. It is just awful. I could get past the acting as they do see to put in effort. BUT the writing is terrible. It tries to hard to be all thing, funny , bloody, kinda scary and accomplishes none of the above. Maybe if you had never seen the movie you could see this as some college level project in a acting class on making a low budget TV show. BUT most of us have seen the movie and this is just cashing in on the name and legend of the movie. Hands down the worst spin-off I have ever seen. I get it that this is the first episode. BUT usually you put your best foot forward and if this is the case with Zombieland the TV/Internet show than I will pass on any other episodes.
