Though I never saw the original but it was pretty good if you like scary horror films/movies.

Also I saw within the first week it was released in theatres.

That movie sucked balls so bad words cannot describe how pitiful it was. it was a damned mall movie. They holed up in a mall for the entire duration of the movie running from things that weren't there most of the time. 2 or 3 good scenes at that was it. I wanted to see zombies taking over a city, not some half assed interpretations of intra-dynamics of human panic and emotion in some hypothetical situation. Want a fairly decent zombie movie, see 28 days later.

I saw the movie and thought it kicked ass. I cant wait for the movie to come out on dvd even though I already own a copy...But the orginal is a classic and no re-make could come close to coming to that but go see the movie.

I second that statement.

I'm a bit of a horror fan and I liked this movie. A nice update to a classic thriller. I thought the scene where the sniper shot Jay Leno and Burt Reynolds was too funny. Nothing can really touch the Evil Dead series although 28 days later is a fantastic zombie movie too. George Romero has two more zombie movies that will come out next year I'm looking forward to seeing.

i thought it was decent...couple good parts, but some lame parts..like every movie has, glad i didnt pay for it tho...wasnt worth it

I've seen all the Romero classics and remakes. Night '68 and '90, Dawn '77 and '04 and Day '85. Dawn of the Dead '04 was probably the best horror films in a long time. I loved it. In fact, I pretty much second the maddox website opinion pasted above. Anybody who wants some brutal gore and horror.... gots to check it out.

Highest possible recommendation!

If you look past the fact that zombies 'run' in this film......then was good modern horror film.

Much better than 28 days later but not a patch on the original Dawn of the Dead.

Has anyone watched The Night of the Day of the Dawn of the Son of the Bride of the Revenge of the Terror of the Attack of the Evil Mutant Alien Flesh Eating Hellbound Living Dead? Its been on suprnova awhile now and its worth watching for a giggle.

**waqasr** · September 3rd, 2004, 09:32 AM

i saw it in the first week as well and loved it!
but i think 28 days later was much better coz it made more
sense and the story line was much better but effects wise
Dawn Of the Dead 04 was better!
:shoot :ass :santa

As the original DotD is my favorite horror movie of all time (and vying for my favorite movie PERIOD) I was pretty ticked about the remake coming out. There was simply NO WAY for the remake to live up to the original . . . and it didn't. At least, not on Romeros terms.

I was however, pleasantly surprised that the remake didn't completely suck. I wouldn't go so far as to call it a horror movie (as horror movies should, you know, be SCARY on some level!), or even a GOOD movie . . . but it was a fun little popcorn action fluff flick. Unlike the original, you can turn your brain off and have fun watching it.

Overall, my only real problem with the remake was that it used the name "Dawn of the Dead". The only thing it had in common with the original was the mall setting and zombies. Gone was the social commentary, gone was the great dialogue and the well fleshed out characters. In its' place was a lot of action and souped up effects.

Its success, however, helped get Romero the funding for his 4th Dead film "Land of the Dead" . . . so I'm not going to slam the remake THAT hard.
