A number of reviewers have already taken shots at the huge plot holes and ridiculous setup of this movie; I share in both their criticism and disappointment. If you happen to care about such lofty things like coherent storytelling or character development, I'd wait to watch this lazy entry into the zombie genre until you're either drunk or stoned to overlook its many problems.

And while Zack may have gotten some kind of personal thrill out of manning every major job in this project, the outcome has clearly suffered as a result. What could have been an otherwise outstanding zombie action flick, given proper attention to detail and an avoidance of lazy tropes, is instead no more than another sparkly yet mediocre piece of cookie-cutter movie confection.

The fact that more movie goers aren't outraged by the significant and apparently permanent drop in quality/intelligence of most these blockbuster Hollywood productions is what bewilders me. Apparently, just shoveling an old retread of a story into a production-line CGI machine is enough to satisfy most of today's audience, who blithely flock to, praise, and subsidize whatever vapid POS comes out. Are super hero action scenes really all we're after anymore? Isn't it time to demand more for your entertainment dollar?

I'm not usually a fan of Zack Snyder's movies, but I do enjoy his visuals from time to time - maybe he should just stick to directing and leave the writing to those who know how to actually write a good movie with some interesting characters because this movie is just downright bad.

You can't help but appreciate Snyder for the vision he brings to his projects, even if you disagree with so many decisions that go along with them. It's a really fun escape that captures the magic of the summer blockbuster with great action set pieces and a badass ensemble, it's so hard not to recommend.

Entertaining movie. I enjoyed it.

People are taking the movie to serious. It's a zombie film after all.

I've given the movie a generous 8 really just to make up for the poor ratings it has received! The zombie genre has been pretty much run dry through movies and TV mainly over the last 15 years and the bad movies far out way the good. I thought this was a decent offering with a few fresh ideas. Some people on here saying "it's hard to screw up a zombie movie". Seriously. I'd love to know what wonderful new ideas others would bring to the table!!!

(Netflix...once again) A stupidly bad film. So much money spent for this rather silly zombie flick and Zack Snyder got a nice paycheck for preparing and executing a script of a 10 year old. I don't even know where to start with this dumb script and scenes, let alone the enormous runtime of more than 2h, which completely killed this film.

I thought I will see something cool once the starting titles went in; I found that small part a great start for a nice, interesting and intense Zack Snyder film. But little did I know...The dialogue is so bad that it is not even funny, the motivation of the protagonist(s) and the character development are non existent. If you see someone saying this movie is fun then it's either Netflix social media writers or people that have never ever seen a zombie flick before. Because this is clearly not fun, but more of a money run! 2/10 just for the starting titles.

The story is somewhat taking, but the daughter is just very annoying that it makes me angry.

A lot about this movie was hammed up/ hyped up in the media. It did have a couple well known actors in it fer sure, but only 2 or 3 at most.

Aside from that, it has a number of tropes in it that people will recognize from zombie horror, and combined with the action and gore and elements of the undead at times, it was a pretty decent film.

That being said, the drawbacks, thoguh few, happened frequently enoguh to deter from what could have been a more spectacular zombie film to add to the genre in a memorable way.

One thing that always drags down zombie and horror in general: TOO MUCH TALKING.

This is what mad the Walking Dead show go from a great cool unique watch, to another survival drama that only sometimes amped things up.

Army of The Dead has waaay too many scenes of nedless conveersation instead of more cool or even campy risks taken with the zombies and gore.

All around the film is a 6/10 because of what worked for the genre of film involving a bit of action and the undead, but it just barely slid by with that score at best.

Slow, stupid and a painfully artificial narrow depth of field injected into every single shot. The characters are all abrasive. And the daughter, oh the daughter. I have never had to watch such a spoiled little brat sink a movie so fast.

The problem is that nowadays everyone thinks they're a film critic. Honestly, some of you have forgotten what it's like to sit back and enjoy a movie and instead seem hellbent on ripping it apart to it's bare bones and then holding up the pieces as if you're Roger Ebert reincarnated. But you're not. And he ain't come back as a zombie. So just watch and enjoy and ignore all the armchair experts. It's good fun. I loved the Dawn of the Dead remake. This is a very different film. But so what? It's a rollercoaster ride. I really cared about all of the characters. It moves the genre forwards. The action scenes are fantastic. It pays homage to those that came before it. And it stars Dave Bautista with a great supporting cast. What's not to like?

Comparing Zack's "Dawn of the Dead" and this piece of garbage is like comparing Mona Lisa and my idiot neighbors redheaded 6-year-old stepchilds scribbles.

This is not one of Zack's best movie you will be disappointed if you expect too much. The story and script is bland. I was hoping for some twist and turns but everything was pretty much predictable.
