So much average
Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike
Boring
best movie i've ever seen.
For those who can't see it let's look at the facts The main characters are called R and Julie They come from rival sides and fall in love There is even a balcony scene The premise love conquers all is still prevalent The only difference is at the end all the dead come alive rather than the other way round. A light hearted film not to be taken to seriously.
This movie does two things; 1. show a zombie-apocalypse from a new perspective, and 2. everything it can with something that is not new or super high-concept. Fantastically displays how zombies feel and how socially anxious they would be. It is amazing how it manages to portray such a relatable zombie. This is a typical love story so it does have some tropes here and there, like the "come sleep in the same bed as me scene", but the fact that it merges two very derivative narratives provides freshness in both spaces, so the movie earns those tropes. It also sort of plays like a Disney fairy-tale. You've got transformation/curse, unlikely romance and even a disapproving father.
Warm Bodies is the story about a zombie called "R" which falls in love with a human. The idea of this movie is pretty cool. It is very different from all of the other zombie movies. The idea of zombies having personalities and such is pretty cool.Apart from that, the movie is kind of boring in my opinion. Like, nothing really interesting happens. Most of the time is spent developing the two main leads, which have a very boring chemistry. The rest of the characters are clichés like "the over-protective father".Im giving this movie a 6/10 because I did like how the protagonist develops throughout the film into a more rounded character, but besides him, the rest of the characters don't have much development.I saw this movie in a 12 hour long trip in a bus, and that is exactly where it belongs. A fun movie that you can watch in TV or in a bus when you have nothing better to do. It provides some original and fun concepts but nothing else.If you want a better zombie comedy I suggest you watch "Shaun of the Dead" or "Zombieland" which I absolutely love.
Warm Bodies was, without question, one of those infuriating "zombie-turned-love-story" movies that only excelled in earning my complete contempt for it and all of its utter preposterousness.If you ask me - Warm Bodies was so brain-dead and moronic (on all counts) that it only ended up completely disgracing the movie sub-genre of zombies like no other picture I've ever seen before, or since.And, as far as zombie movies go - Warm Bodies contained so many glaring flaws and equally cringe-worthy moments that, at this point, I don't know where the heck to start voicing and venting my total disgust for this reeking heap of idiotic asininity.So, in conclusion - I will bring my angry commentary to its abrupt end by simply saying that I sure hope that this sort of "zombie-turned-love-story" movie isn't going to become the latest trend.Sheesh! Spare me that ultimate torture!
