Review of Land of the Dead (2005) by Nolan M — 10 Apr 2015
Nowhere near as good as any of the original trilogy, or even Savini's 90s remake, and lacks any social commentary or weighty character conflict that made the original three films work so well. There are a lot of cool special effects and enjoyable gore, but it's overshadowed by the fact that you don't really care about any of the characters or the plot.
Dennis Hopper plays an evil tycoon who dwells at the top of his large luxury apartment complex style fortress. When John Leguizamo tries to defeat him, it's hard not to have bad flashbacks from the Super Mario Brothers movie. In fact, this would make a good double feature as both films have a very similar vibe, and that's not a good thing.
