    dawn of the dead vs 28 days later

    half way through dawn of the dead, and i have to say it doesn't even compare to 28 days later. the weak background music alone makes it seriously sub-par to 28...

    what do you think?

    The first 1/2 of 28 days later was good. The 2nd 1/2 just fell apart.

    Could have been better.
    I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,
    I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.

      Dawn of the Dead is a new release, or old movie?
      SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.

                    I prefered Dawn of the Dead, not much action in 28, the military stuff at the end was really lame too.

                        28 Days was so scary. I like got really frightened in the part when the lady starts to hack up her friend and he wasnt even a zombie yet...

                        Havnt seen Dawn of the Dead yet..

                          28 days later was AWESOME.

                          When I saw Dawn of the Dead in the theatres, with my girlfriend, well, lets just say it wasnt good enough to keep my attention for more than 5 minutes at a time.

                              DOTD 2004 had way to many characters to devlopment them and give them depth. I thought 28DL was decent in every respect.

                              Of course, hard to compare them to the Romero's original DOTD it's just a masterpiece.

                                  The original was AWESOME i saw it in theaters when i was 13...i remember my mother giving the theater manager a hard time because they did not want to let me in,...my mom ROCKED!

                                  The new one was o.k.....just gotta love ZOMBIE BABIES!

                                  28 days started great...but DID fade a bit towards the end...

                                    I liked the DOD remake and considered it one of the most suspenseful flicks i have seen in a while . It definitely did not do a blow-it hollywood move to make a happy ending which i appreciated as well.

                                      I <3 Zombie movies!

                                      Dawn of the Dead (1978) - My favorite movie of all time! I can watch it over and over, again. It never gets old.

                                      Dawn of the Dead (2004) - It was decent. Not that bad. The zombie baby was fucking retarted! I love the "real" ending. Instead of ending shit on a happy note.

                                      28 Days Later - I love this movie! I love the score! I think this movie was great. It really wasn't so much a zombie movie. Since, the people were infected with rage. They didn't eat their victims. They just killed them. I think the ending is decent. But, they do end it on a happy note. Hopefully, the next one is just as good.

                                              I think the new DOTD is fucking funny, I want to see the original but its pretty difficult to get at videostores here.
                                              28 days later was very realistic, I also found it pretty funny at some points

                                                  I love zombie movies, but was not entirely satisfied with either flick. 28 days had a better creepy vibe...but yeah, a shitty ending. The first dotd was really pretty cheesy, but that's why most people loved it...bad humor, lot's of zombie gore...and i think the remake tries to follow in that tradition...but the cheesy humor is updated for the modern audience. They knew if they made it too campy, it would only please the fans (but the real fans aren't going to be happy no matter what you do)...so all-in-all, I prefer dotd...because who really wants to take a zombie movie seriously? just make it scary.
                                                  As long as Americans continue to munch down herbal supplements like pac-man on crack, why not convert some exit traffic? Payouts as high as $125 per order!

                                                    I haven't seen DotD, but I love 28 Days Later, with both endings! I thought it got better towards the end, not worse. How odd... I found it more a thinky movie than a scary movie, about the possibilities of outbreak and the resulting apocalypse. Oh well.

                                                    I even downloaded some of the songs from the movie. They're about 10 minutes long each, but they really set the mood.

                                                          I liked both 28 days and DOTD 2004. I haven't seen the orignal DOTD but if it's anything like either Day of the Dead or Night of the Living Dead than I won't like it at all.

                                                                Dawn of the Dead is a great horror movie. But it came right out of the campy-horror tradition of the 50's. You know what I mean, you're either laughing out loud or going "eeeeww". Stephen King's Creepshow movie was also in this sub-genre.

                                                                By contrast, 28 days is a "modern" movie, meaning its a product of a more self-conscious, intentionally political kind of filmmaking. In other words, there's a point.

                                                                At the end of Dawn of the Dead, most people feel queasy and exhilirated -- like after a rollercoaster.

                                                                At the end of 28 days, you walk out of the movie theatre thinking why is it so easy for human beings to see each other as monsters?

                                                                j-

                                                                                And Director Danny Boyle is brilliant. He made Ewan McGregor an international star in Trainspotting. His directing of Cillian Murphy in 28 days later is once again brilliant.

                                                                                I am curious though why a few of the movie sites list Noah Huntley as the star of the movie. Was he even in the movie?

                                                                                    Bucket of Blood is one of my favorites. Dick Miller was just so damn good in that movie. I met him at a Fangoria Weekend Of Horrors convention and told him what I fan I am of that performance and he said it was one of the best times he'd had and one of his personal favorites as well, but his favorite was as Mr. Futterman in the Gremlins movies (this was right around the time Gremlins 2 was coming out).

Just because quiet happens to be the fucktard in this case doesn't mean I'm not going to call him on it. Let the other knobwashers service his delicate ego, I don't give a fuck.
