REVIEW:
It's pretty safe to say that Zombies are the big craze in media these days. Films like "Zombieland" had us laughing our heads off at the zombie apocalypse, while shows like "The Walking Dead" have us glued to out TV sets every Sunday night, having us pray that one of our favorite characters won't die in this particular episode. "World War Z" is somewhere in between those two, with the entire movie trying to be intense and smart, which it does succeed at being for the most part, however it's filled with moments that are either easy to make fun of or are unintentionally hilarious. Brad Pitt plays a pretty strong character who says he's a normal guy, but in reality he has a lot of military expertise on his record. What results almost immediately after the opening credits end is a non-stop action thriller that grabs you by the horns and doesn't let go until you're already invested in the story and where Brad Pitt's character is going to head next. While formulaic and unintentionally hilarious at times, "World War Z" is a very fun movie to watch from start to finish, and it has a lot of potential for a series to bloom out of it.

Hello viewers of this blog,
Due to recent comments of spam and profanity present from obnoxious kids who think they are the funniest people in the world, I would like to request that the comments posted here are in good taste, meaning that they have no Anti-Semitic remarks, profanity, sexual innuendo, or any insults to myself. You can criticize the review and give pointers on how to make them better, but how about we be adults about this. Ok? Thank you, and have a nice day.
