So is this World War Z supposed to be any good?

They don't look like typical slow pussy zombies.

Hopefully, one day, Internet technology will advance to the stage where a person can find actual movie reviews online...

Hopefully one day the internet technology won't totally replace conversation.

I liked 1/2 the book and then I got bored.

Solid reviews so far, but it looks like they're not even trying to stay faithful to the book. Disappointed in that.

Considering it's a book about zombies, it's a near brilliant piece of work. A million times better than it has any right to be.
The movie however by all accounts is not the least bit faithful to it's source. I'll still see it though. I mean come on, it's Brad Pitt and the zombie apocalypse.

A movie needs someone to center it, and that character really didn't exist in the book. I'm not surprised they changed that up.

The important thing to keep was the overall vibe of the book: a zombie story told with the language of a war memoir. I'm not sure I should be optimistic that they did that, seeing as how Brad Pitt is the star, and the ad campaign makes it seem as if his roles as a husband and father are the main things driving him.

The book was boring. His survival guide was so much better.
