Day of the Dead remake - 4/10

Nowhere near as good as the original. Everything that made that film unique and interesting is gone, and instead the remake is just a generic zombie film. While watching it I could help but think it was like one of those crappy made-for-TV films you see on the Sci-Fi Channel.

...No.

It leaked onto the internet early.

Oh, hahaha, I figured - I didn't mean to sound like I was grilling you, I just wanted to confirm it was the new movie.

Yeah, I had read they removed the entire dynamic of the underground folks, the realization of some hint of remaining intelligence, etc.

That's a shame - the Dawn remake is outstanding and probably my favorite horror remake to date (it did a great job of keeping most of the underlying themes in place while still updating it).

Aye, the remakes of Dawn and Night of the Living Dead were actually pretty well done. But this new one... you're correct, the whole scientists vs. military thing is gone, and for the most part the issue of zombie intelligence is generally ignored. It's like it's not really a remake at all, it's more like a brand new film with the title of George Romero's classic (and a few of the character's names) tacked on.

I have yet to see Romero's newest one (Diary of the Dead) though. The reviews are saying it's fairly good, so I'll try and catch it soon.

I thought Dawn of the Dead as a remake was shockingly bad, but as a film on the whole was ok. What i dont like is when they say a films a remake like Dawn of the Dead but then change everything about it from the original.

Personally I thought it was a pretty good film. Not quite as good as the original, but still great. And to be fair, it was a LOT closer to its original than this Day remake.
