It's like calling Shaun of the Dead a completely original approach to the zombie genre. I don't think so - again all the clichès were there, it was just refreshingly humorous.

I can see how it could only disappoint if those were your expectations.
I'm not really sure if they were going for humorous... I couldn't tell if they were seriously trying to make a horror or it was a parody. Didn't feel like a parody.

I guess I just had really high expectations.
