Zombieland

I have been looking forward to seeing this film for some time now, but never had the time, I just caught it as it was on level 6 in Cineworld which only means its ready to be kicked out.

I have to say with-in the first five minutes of this movie I knew it was going to be good fun to watch, I just knew it was a movie that wasn't going to take it self to seriously. It's definitely a generation film, I can only see my generation enjoying this film to its full extent. From start to finish it is full of spoof's innuendo's from a number of recent zombie film's and console computer games. I really wouldn't blame anyone in the age bracket of 35+ not understanding the comical element this film went for.

Yeah this film clearly lost itself in places on where it was going or what it was trying to say, or even who are main characters really were. Yeah this is a valid point, but for me it really didn't matter that it didn't really have any direction to it, again this film was just all about good fun. It had enough substance to keep the comical slant fresh and appealing at every sticky situation our group of survivors found themselves in.

Jessie Eisenberg 'Columbus' really did make this film, I found his comical style ... well funny. I would be hard pressed to think of anyone else who could have brought that unique innocence of his character to his role. He really did portray his role of a 'run away' at anything that resembles danger to the letter.

The fact that this movie was clearly the xbox game Dead Rising wasn't a bad thing, the game was utterly relentless in zombie killing as the movie. Some would think this wouldn't translate that well as a narrative format to well. That again would be a valid point but, to reiterate the point that the movie didn't take itself seriously and was short enough to get away with its ridiculous setting that it chose to tell the story in.

I just found this movie good fun from start to finish, I found Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg made the perfect comical duo. They had me laughing at every satire corner, they really did come over as just over grown children just out for abit of fun and not really taking the context of the situation all that seriously.

At the end of a day isn't a movie made to entertain and make you laugh? This may sound and look like a silly movie but its the best silly movie I've seen in quite some time!
