That's all I have to ask: Why? This was an aggressively mediocre movie that did not progress much of anything or leave much of an impression on me. Movie studios throwing in the actual solid original movies into a blender and releasing whatever edit comes from that into theatres would be less of a slap to the face than this 10th attempt of recapturing/mimicking superior classics.

I'm not quite sure why expectations for this film that serious; it's *zombie heist film in Vegas* and it knows exactly what sort of film it is, so why complain to the fast-food joint, about the liberty it takes to make every meal as fast and colourful for it to be enjoyed in a casual sitting, to be more like vanilla cuisine.

Seriously, it's azombie heist film and a little too many people are writing full blown essays and novels to nitpick plot points, that one annoying character (which the movie isn't telling you to like, she's the daughter of the main character, of course she's not gonna be perceived as a petulance) and their tired and persistant disdain of Zack Snyder.

All in all, my main point in this is that AotD is just a fun ride that doesn't take itself too seriously and the people with nothing better to do such probably just watch things they like rather than review bombing movies from a director that has a very cemented style...

Again, zombie heist film, hardly trying to win an Oscar...

I was surprised to the reaction to this film... It's completely inoffensive and does everything it needs to with the charm of grandma, the malice of the Grand High Witch, etc. I'm getting the feeling that these are reactionary responses to yet another 'bland and unoriginal Hollywood' trend even though this is an adaptation of Roald Dahl's book, just like the 1990 version is.

It's alright if people don't like this movie I suppose but acting like it's the worst thing to come to screens is an exaggeration to say the least. Kids are most definitely going to enjoy it, it is for them after all, not the adults comparing it to the 1990 adaptation, so I'd say this film was a success in what if wanted to do.
