Review King reviews Army of the Dead, starring Dave Bautista, Ella Purnell, Ana de la Reguera, Omari Hardwick, Theo Rossi, Matthias Schweighöfer, Nora Arnezeder, Hiroyuki Sanada, Garret Dillahunt, Tig Notaro, Raúl Castillo. Directed by Zack Snyder

Army of the dead is directed by Zak snider and this is his return to the horogenre after a dawn of the dead in two thousand four. Which is the film of his I really enjoy after a zambi outbreak in las Vegas a group of mercenaries led by Dave Batista take the ultimate gamble venturing into the quarantine zone to pull off the greatest heist ever attempted . Now that movie theaters are starting to open again and some folks or choosing to go out and see a film. I've been wanting to see a film that I can just relax sit back enjoy have a giant tub of popcorn and kin to forget about everything .And we don't get that many of those movies anymore a lot of things want to be very serious and remind ESS of the world . 

That we live in and so I was very much hoping that Zaxsniter's army of the dead .Would do that for me and it did this movie was an absolute blast. I had such a good time with this movie just the opening credit scene .Alone is phenomenal I feel like the opening credits of the movie deserve to be considered for future list of best opening credits of all time and Zacx snider's name is all over those credits not only did he take part in the screenplay the producing and obviously the directing . He's a director of photography. He's a cinematographer for the whole movie . There are instances throughout the movie where he overuses very shallow focus characters walk away out of focus. He doesn't pull focus with hem. He jest lets it stay soft the whole time . It's he type of thing that I wouldn't really reference but it happens a lot and for some people that could get really annoying. It's not like it took me out of the movie that much i just started to notice how often he does it what i really like about this movie is that it combines a lot of different kinds of zambi's you have your classic george e ramerozabis that are pounding against the cabin walled and are very slow, and they're kind of stupid you have your Danny boil twenty-eight days later Zambia that are running out you really fast, and they're just going to tear out your fucking juggler but there's also zombies in the film that are very smart they call them all pazambis they're in control of the others though Zambia listen to them because this place is basically like a john carpenter's escape from new york kingdom for these Zambia they have leaders they have ranks and that was really interesting just to see the whole mythology that he crafted behind this Los vagus outbreak UY also liked Dave betista on the movie quite a bit .

I think this movie really showcases his range because I love hm an guardians as draxs, but he does have a surprising amount of range as an actor, and he's really damned good in the movie it's also surprisingly very funny there were a lot of jokes that really hit for me where the film falters a little is in its very bloated runtime the movie does not have to be two and a half hours a lot of Zack snider films are a little bit  too long I could easily see about fifteen minutes of this movie being cut out there're scenes that sometimes go a few frames longer than they really need to be the pace could be tightened just ever so much there's a few times when it feels like information you're getting just isn't important and the scene could just end there's also times where Snyder ghoes for something that's very surprising but it also creates a disservice to the characters that he sets up there are some scenes where you feel very invested in what could potentially happen for two characters and their future and he throw something in there the last second that is dramatic and it creates a slow motion sequence with somebody screaming and their voice echoes and it gets murky and it reverberates and you get a song that you might not expect to be in a sobby movie which is a very sax niter thing that he likes to do so at times .

He will sacrifice interesting character for shock value and for some that will really work you might like the surprise of something unexpected happening but I was a little let down that I was getting invested in characters that he was setting up and then suddenly he doesn't seem to care about the future of those characters and I didn't love how he chose to end the film it feels like the movie has a definitive ending and then there's like ten more minutes again that's something that snider has done in the past but honestly i just had a really good time watching this movie I felt like I was in a real movie again do you know what I mean like just in the theater there was only like five people there uh but still like this big giant screen popcorn it just everything felt right and the little knit picks that I have about the movie it didn't stop me from having a great time i'am go to give army of the dead a bee if you feel comfortable going to a movie right now it isn't theaters if you don't it's going to be on Netflix really soon either way I think e should check it out especially if you like his down o the dead movie guys thank you so much as always for watching look forward to mo reviews very soon and if you like this you'll click right here and get stuck menized.
