This was a great movie. I personally think that Shaun of the Dead and Zombieland are great side-by-side, I can’t compare them.

I hear a sequel is coming out. I can’t wait to see it!

[...] This seems to be early news, and we’re still looking for some additional sources to verify, but it looks like Zombieland is getting a February 2, 2010 release date for DVD and Blu-ray. At this time I haven’t found cover art or extra listings, just some scoops from reliable sources on Twitter and various DVD forums about the net. We’ll bring you more as it becomes available, but this should prove a nice treat for the post-holiday blues. In the meantime, if you haven’t checked out our review you can do so right here. [...]

‘Poser filmie?’ There’s a new one.

I agree that Shaun of the Dead is the better film, but honestly I wasn’t thinking about that while watching – I was too caught up in these characters and their world. Zombieland is very much its own thing and, allowing for the obvious homages and the zombie movie heritage, it doesn’t feel like it’s ripping off anything else at all. It was so much fun that I can forgive some of the less convincing plot elements –

MILD SPOILERS COMING UP…

…considering where they were by the last act, why would they bother going on to Pacific Playland? And how after all they’d been through could they be so dumb as to blatantly attract zombies? But then, if they hadn’t we wouldn’t have had that marvellous fairground face-off sequence. So yes, it’s forgiveable. And there’s the sign of a good movie – when you can forgive the little quibbles.

Sorry man, I gotta come out in defense of Shaun of the Dead. Not only a good send up of Zombie flims from a comedy standpoint. From a writer’s perspective, its a solid and complete story with a ton of clever, circular gags.

Not to diminish Zombieland at all, it was great. But Shaun, by comparison, is the more cerebral of the two films, with a lot of subtle, clever jokes.

The two actually make great examples, side by side, if the differences in comedy style between the US and England.

Thanks for callin’ me a poser filmie though. Gotta throw out that personal jab, ‘of corpse’.

ok.. seriously…you shouldn’t have given away so much information about the movie. it was awsome when you find out why he’s out on the road looking for twinkies. i laughed the hardest at it cause it was so unexpcted. secondly…shaun of the dead was really lame…this movie definetly tops it. everyone hyped up shaun of the dead so of corpse all the little poser filmies out there are going to hype it up as well
