Zombieland | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online It's an okay DVD rental choice but doesn't go beyond that. Rated: C- Sep 11, 2017 Full Review Zombieland | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Lisa Rosman Us Weekly With its quick pace and witty writing, it's a nonstop, snarky ride. Jul 19, 2017 Full Review Zombieland | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Deborah Ross The Spectator It is never properly scary. Mostly, it is just very silly, but because the film knows it is silly, it's all rather infectious and not the big, cliché-pumped bore it might otherwise have been. Sep 22, 2014 Full Review Zombieland | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Manuel São Bento MSB Reviews Zombieland has all the attributes of a pure blockbuster: a phenomenal cast, a straightforward narrative packed with thrilling sequences, a short runtime with fast pacing, compelling characters, and thousands of zombies. Rated: A- Jul 24, 2023 Full Review Zombieland | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand The zombie comedy was hardly fresh territory when "Zombieland" came along (and really, will anyone top "Shaun of the Dead"?) but it nonetheless does a fine job of mining the humor inherent in the end of the world. Mar 12, 2022 Full Review Zombieland | Rotten Tomatoes (6) George Fenwick Stuff.co.nz For all its silliness, this is not, pardon the pun, brainless; rather, it’s a ruthlessly funny explosion of zombie-film cliches that somehow doubles as a charming road movie.

Jason R A good zombie movie, the cast pull together to make it enjoyable to watch Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/20/24 Full Review Eduarda O KKKKKKKKKKKKK q porr Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/13/24 Full Review Benjamin H With a sharp and inviting script that emphasizes pure fun, Zombieland could have tightened up and added some more action during the middle, but this is still a happily mindless and fittingly gory zombie film that features great cast chemistry and a super enjoyable, adrenaline-fueled third act. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/01/24 Full Review Blu B Awesome All Time Classic. This isn't scary in the slightest bit really. It has zombies in it but this really is almost 0% horror. Kind of like how a movie that has a part where or two where characters sing doesn't make it a musical necessarily. This is pure comedy, action, and some romance in zombie road movie effectively and it is pure awesomeness. The acting is really good with Woody being the best darn thing in this with Bill Murray. Both of them just rock. The other 3 are really good but man and have some good chemistry with witty dialouge and some clever tounge in cheek humor. But man Woody just steals the show whenever the camera is on him. Everything else is technically awesome. This masterfully weaves genres together and has a suprising amount of heart to it and fleshed out characters which is beyond rare in horror movies let alone zombie flicks usually. (Especially all of the cast) The music is amazing and just kick major butt the entire time and your either just rockin, laughing, enjoying the action or all 3 together. The special effects are amazing as well. Everyone should give this a try. It's so much fun. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/07/24 Full Review hailee M This movie was too good watched it so much never gets old...That is one of the reasons how I got into Twinkes lol thanks, Woody. Emma Stone is so fine great choice of characters. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/24 Full Review Spike G Awsome characters cool style and funny jokes Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/12/24 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
