Good points though, I thought the action scenes very spontaneus and the gory stuff done well. I really liked when Mr.Sherriff got surrounded by zombies and then when his doom was nigh quickly slipped beneath the tank and then when there was no hope of escape, slipping into the service entrance of the tank! I like the idea that they are using a city like Atlanta too and especially the shot when riding on a horse down the freeway to the city.

Reading about the series, I read the series creator wanted to base the style of the series on the first Romero flick "Night of the Living Dead" meaning a heavier focus on some of the characters and based on flicking through these posts some don't seem too pleased on how this has been done.


The bottom line for me though, is that I'm a sucker for zombie flicks and even a medicore story will still keep me interested and I'm making sure I don't read any spoilers on the thread.
Resident Evil 2 ripped off that intro as well
