I was so disappointed with the movie because I've seen the original and I was expecting about the same level. Well I was totally wrong. I guess I kinda bought into how entertaining the movie was at the beginning but as... Full review

Well, fans....this review is coming from someone that actually watched them film the original back in suburban Pittsburgh in 1978.....so I may be a tad biased to the original. I rarely find remakes that can hold a candle to the original,... Full review

If you are a fan of balls-out gory horror, you will love this flick. If you don't, you won't. I love the original classic, it's one of my all time favorites, and to be honest, when I heard it was being... Full review

First off, let me tell you that I do not remember the last time that I enjoyed a movie this much. Director Zack Snyder, who I am not to familiar with did a fine job. I think that this movie is... Full review

Overall this is a great zombie movie, horror movie or just plain great movie. Some bad points to "Dawn Of The Dead" was some erratic editing that I cannot believe will not be cleaned up by time the picture is released in a few days. ... Full Review

Just as any good horror film should, Dawn of the Dead exists in a world of shadows and pale light. Eventually Ana meets a group of strangers (Ving Rhames, Jake Weber, Mekhi Phifer, Inna Korobkina) and, just as in the original Dawn of the Dead, they all seek sanctuary in the safest place they can find -- a shopping mall (appropriate named the "Crossroads Mall"). ...

Snyder's tone for the film is bleak and serious, but "Dawn Final Thoughts : "Dawn of the Dead" was a surprise, offering a lot of tension and suspense, as well as a few good scares. The casting is uniformly excellent, as are the performances. ... Full Review

Snappily paced and distinguished by some impressive action scenes staged by commercials director Zack Snyder, Dawn Of The Dead is at least a competent and occasionally eye-catching excursion into horror. Romero's tightly controlled four-character piece served the story far better and provided an emotional dimension to the drama that barely registers here. ... Full Review

Boxoffice Magazine
A likable acting ensemble and generous helpings of post-9/11 self-sacrificing heroism keep a surprisingly strong human element going despite the grisly nature of the proceedings. The good news for fans of the mindless flesh-eaters is that the reworked "Dawn," while a far more generic piece of entertainment in many ways, still delivers a pretty mean bite as a gross-out/action shockfest. ...
