Reasons why Land of the Dead Sucks
Things I would have taken out or changed:
The underground vice den in the slums- The originals showed that humans would band together to fight a common enemy. This one discards that idea with the zombie cage-fight and picture-taking scene. JUST DUMB. In the others, humans feared zombies to the extent that this would never happen. And that made sense. If your city of a couple thousand, or maybe only couple hundred, was surrounded on all sides by the roaming dead, what would the spectacle be in such things? The execution was also all wrong. The way it looked was like something out of fucking Mad Max 3... Just bad. Especially with the midget.
The way the zombies grew intelligent- SO many things about this were filled with holes. Why did the totally mindless zombies begin to follow the reasoning zombies? How did they go from being totally solitary creatures to using team work (how did the mindless zombies even comprehend orders?)? How did the black mechanic zombie learn all of this stuff so quickly? How did he know that they could fucking BREATHE under water? How did the small-town sized group
List of people who should have been ripped apart by zombies:
The fat Asian guy (preferably BEFORE making the bad joke about stolen cars)
The mentally disabled guy (him getting killed early on could have fueled more character developement for the main guy. He really didn't add much to the movie and proved to be an annoying distraction from any possible suspense)
The whole crew of the stupid Dead Reckoning. In fact, the movie would have been better off without that bullshit, anyway.
The whole of the town's population (The ending was HAPPY. HAPPY, for Christ's sake...)
It should have ended with Asia Argento and the main guy escaping narrowly from the zombies eating everyone in the town.
