World War Z - Topic

I like how the zombie/infected/whatever seem to be fast and not like the ones in most movies/tv where it seems you could outrun them all doing a brisk walk.

I don't understand why people always think zombies should ONLY be these slow,dead and basically non threatening (lol TWD zombies!!! scary!) things just because they have been depicted that way for so long. Why do they have to always have to be slow and lame just because they are dead/infected whatever. Why is a fast undead more ridiculous/unbelieveable then a slow one when its all fiction. I could even made some stupid argument like "being dead means you would not ever get tired from running or some shit" to which you would say "mah zombies....noooo!!!!!" But again its all fiction so just go with it.

They should be like that because the books the movie is based off of are depicted as such, and you clearly don't understand the genre, zombies are never the main focus, its the relationships between humans in such a situation that creates the story and drama.

In preparation for the release of World War Z, I have decided to watch 28 Days Later again, so I don't have to go see this steaming flop of a zombie movie.

Another wise investment.

Exactly.. how they were originally depicted got changed..

People dont mind fast zombies.....the stupid part is the zombies are like swarming insects, climbing each other, building walls.. so retarded.

This looks like a fun watch, but I don't see what makes it a "new era" or anything. It looks like another typical zombie movie, only probably with a higher budget, so more special effect scenes.

It seems like nowadays zombies and vampires are getting all the love. What about all the other undead creatures? Where have our mummies, ghosts, skeletons, ghouls, wraiths, liches, etc. gone?

Also, it seems like a lot of people in this thread don't know the meaning of creative license. Especially when it comes to a fictional creature. It doesn't bother you that dragons have variations in fictions on whether they can talk, breath fire, fly, cast magic, are snake-like or dinosaur-like, etc. but it bothers you if some people make zombies run while others make them walk? Yeah... I'm not going to say you're idiots but... you're certainly fixated on the trivial and irrelevant.
