Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires

First, the disclaimers:

1) we forget we even have the Disney channel 2) this is not the type of movie we watch at all 3) I would never willingly watch a musical 4) I don't think I've ever watched one of these sing/dance movies in my 64 years in my (granted, old) memory.

5) although the title implied it was from a series, we didn't know anything about that

We were tempted by the description tagline "spooky, playful and endearing" for a Zombie movie.

An animated beginning, we were tempted to turn it off, but then it became "real".

A couple minutes in, I turned to my husband & said.

"Omg, I think she's going to start singing"

About 1/2 in, I said,

"It's like I can't stop watching with some kind of horrified interest."

It's really sweet. We really liked it.

I can see why young people are so into singing the songs and doing the tik tok video dance sketches.

The plot was good, no holes.

Mainly it gives me hope. It's nice to see that kids are learning about the better side of human nature in this uncertain world. That's probably what I liked best about it.

Otherwise, I still don't like musicals. LOL

My husband REALLY liked it though, & scored it exceptionally higher than his usual scores. So it must be pretty good.

I can't believe Zombies 4 is finally here, and honestly, it was everything I hoped for and more. As someone who grew up watching this franchise, this movie hit me right in the heart. It feels like I was taken back to when I first watched the original Zombies. That same excitement, those songs that get stuck in your head, and the characters that make you smile.

The music in this one is absolutely amazing. Every song feels meaningful, and some even gave me chills. The story kept me hooked from start to finish, and there were so many emotional moments that brought back memories of all the past movies. I could feel how much love and dedication the cast put into this, and it shows in every scene.

What I love most is how the movie managed to stay true to its roots while also giving us something new. It feels like they knew exactly what longtime fans wanted, and they delivered it perfectly. Watching Zombies 4 felt like closing a chapter of my childhood, but in the best possible way.

I'm honestly proud to say that I grew up with this franchise. This movie isn't just another sequel, it really reminds us why we fell in love with Zombies in the first place. And now, I'm super excited and hopeful about what's coming next for the franchise.

A movie that started off terribly with bad acting, cringey Disney channel moments, and bad songs. To eventually being more watchable, but by this point, this franchise lost everything that the first movie had. We can't keep reusing the same story beats and theme in every movie! Please find something else to tell! It gets old fast!

This franchise has overstayed its welcome for too long! The first film is the only good one, and the one I have nostalgia for, but now, it's not good.

Please end this franchise, you've gone on long enough.

Songs are not good, characters have gone through there arcs, story's gone everywhere you can go. There's no need to keep milking this franchise.

Wow. What a tragedy. From the cringing rapping. To the entire thing being filmed next to one tacky eiffel tower looking thing Disney actually released this? Like Adults watched this and said - ya, good enough.... content volume over content quality. The makeup bad. The vampire spin bad. The budget must have been low. I dont think this can be saved. The whole 'pass the torch - except everyongh watching this is hoping the torch goes out. Maybe disney will somehow reset but like - there isnt a way based on this movie to use the two new main characters as a base - they were not good. And it doesnt make sense.

Listen. The movie alone was okay, but as part of the Zombies series its a no from me. The first movie was great, the music was great, the outfits were cool, and the acting was good. And the choreography was top notch. Second one was okay. But when u guys came out with the third one it was obvious yall lost the plot. This one would've been better if it was its own series or movie without the connection to zombies. Specially considering yall got rid of the entire cast from the first and second movies.

Idk how to explain it but the outfits in this one compared to the first movie look so cheap.

And now their maybe mermaids...? Disney just stop. Please. This is one of those things we're yall got a lot of good feedback on Zombies 1, so u made a Zombies 2. That got decent feedback, so u made another one but that one wasn't as good as the first two so now ur tryna save it with this one and now its not even "Zombies" its zombies, vampires, aliens, werewolves, day people, and now something else in the water. Like no.
