Movie Review #7 Zombieland

     Wow. Really thats the best word for this movie. Go in with high expectations... and you won't be disappointed! I went in with very high expectations, although I was prepared for the worst [just in case], and it turned out that it was everything I wanted it to be. Funny and just an overall GOOD zombie movie, there aren't many good zombie movies, and even fewer that strive for comedy. The only reason I can think of for someone to not enjoy this movie is if they either 1. don't have a sense of humor, or 2. don't like zombies. If you can stomach gore, then go see it even if you don't like zombies. If you don't have a sense of humor... then I'd stay away from it, simply because the less of you humorless people that go to see it, the less bad reviews there will be. I am pretty sure that the only BAD reviews are from people who either went in thinking it was supposed to be complete horror, or someone with a stick shoved very far up... Ok I'm rambling, but thats just because of how much I liked the movie and how much I have to say for it in defense.
     SO. The movie starts out with Columbus, the skinny, geeky looking guy. He starts reading off his little set of rules for surviving in Zombieland, and we see a small demonstration of why they work. Remember these rules because they will literally pop up at certain times in the movie. This sounds like it could be irritating, but its used in an ingenious comic fashion that made the movie all the better. So Columbus is surviving from the zombies really well, and then he meets the gruff Tallahassee, who has a liking for twinkies and big guns. They start traveling together thinking they're the last ones alive on Earth, until they meet Little Rock and Wichita. The four of them start heading for a place called Pacific Playland, where supposedly there are no zombies. So thats the gist. Doesn't sound all that amazing now that I read over that explanation, but believe me, there are many flashback type moments, and a ton of parts meant purely for laughs [Which will have you laughing pretty consistently].
     There wasn't really anything that I DIDN'T like, which is pretty rare, because I find flaws in everything. The only movies I haven't found a flaw with are this and Spirited Away, which is... well, the antithesis of Zombieland. But anyway, the acting isn't bad but it also isn't EXTRAORDINARY, but it doesn't need to be spectacular for a movie like this anyway. The music used fits the genre well, the gore level was surprisingly high, so people with weak stomachs wait until like the first 15 minutes are over and then go in [Almost all the gore happens right in the beginning]. The idea is amazing, the computer animation is great. And on top of it all, it is really, really funny. I saw Shaun of the Dead, and it was funnyish but Zombieland actually makes you laugh out loud, very loudly out loud as a matter of fact.
    So the bottom line is: Go see this movie if you are in one of the following categories:
-You like zombies
-You like laughing
-You need oxygen to live...
Okay I think that covers everyone, so go see it RIGHT NOW

Rating: 10/10 *see above.*
