Day Of The Dead (2008)

I used to firmly believe, and also have it proven time and time again, that all a movie had to do was involve zombies in one way or another and I'd at the very least be able to sit through it and enjoy it...
Seriously, I've watched some drivel zombie flicks. From members of the "Return Of The Living Dead" series (Sorry fans, but they're really quite lame) to some old zombie films set in prisons that no-one's ever heard of, and no-one's ever wanted to hear of... but no matter how camp, dumb, retarded, mentally challenged, completely unrealistic looking, ridiculous, poorly acted or just plain shitty they were I was still able to take away from them the feeling of having watched a film with zombies in it. In itself, I thought, was something unmistakably unique and special and that no movie could possibly fail in, if they happened to contain zombies in any way, shape or form.

That was until I saw the "remake" of Day Of The Dead which made me want to gouge out my own eyeballs with a rusty spoon

I do feel that The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies!!? (1964) was a much better film then Day of the Dead (2008)

I had forgotten about that one... it actually made me rethink for a moment, but I do indeed still think that Day Of The Dead (2008) was worse.
Someone on Flixster said that it sucked but at least it was better than the original!?
wtf!?
