- Zack Snyder's Army of the Dead on Netflix was marketed as a fun, exciting action comedy heist movie. But it failed to live up to expectations. Imagine my shock.

This zombie rain thing isn't even in the german version
This movie is less interesting than a modern Facebook news feed.
Any chance of a Ryan drake what if where him and his shepherd team have to fend off against zombies created by an unspecified virus from an unspecified country.
is this a reupload
The daughter was supposed to come off as a “strong independent woman” type.
Instead she came off as a “selfish idiot that gets people killed” type.
That’s the formula for SIW.
Yeah. For some reason Hollywood can't see the difference.
There's a difference?
I'd say she was the bloody moron type
@@wookieninja8794 Their is. Princess Leia is a strong character, who happens to be females. Rey, well, need I say more. The trick is to not fixate on the female part.
For some reason Shaun of the Dead remains one of the only zombie movies to show the military being competent.
But then how can the world go to shit if the military is acting competently?
A) Have politicians be morons
B) Have the Zombie Plague coincide with a major nuclear terror attack so that the nation is devastated
C) Show the film taking place in an area where the virus has hit hard and allude to the military continuing to fight outside of urban areas.
D) Or all of the above
That's because Shaun of the Dead is perfect.
Because the concept of zombies being able to overcome modern weapons is so laughably absurd that they have to add a healthy dose of incompetence for the plot to happen, I mean look what happens every time the main character gets ahold of a machine gun, they turn into a zombie-killing Rambo more often than not
@@maxb2021
Somebody finaly said it. I have hope for humanity.
@@shadowofhawk55 i mean, its still a pretty big zombie plague appearing "suddenly".
But only tooked them a day to clear the majority of the zombies
Fun fact: Tig's character was originally played by actor Chris D'elia. His scenes were removed after he was accused of sexual misconduct. That's why Tig's almost entire performance was done solo, as all her scenes were reshoots. What few bits show her with others in the cast was done with CG inserts.
CD knows that very well.
@@user-fi6bu7ke6tIncluding the ‘Fun Fact’ part?
I love how the daughter looks in the poster so confident and proud. When you see a woman like that in a poster movie you could immediately deduced she is a selfish and rude person who always managed to win or survive
This is literally a movie where his daughter is the anti hero. Everything she does causes all of the problems and deaths of the good guys.

Oh come on atleast she was the only one not chasing money
@@DivvayKhatri Yeah, she's on a rescue mission to save someone that's lucky to be alive and then dies. She may not want the money, but she's still the load.
@@DivvayKhatri what? I hope you're being sarcastic whats wrong with wanting money.
Ah yes I guess Martin isn’t the cause is he? Leave him alone
It's really brave of Tom Cruise to play a lesbian ace pilot. Shows that he's a well rounded, open-minded individual.
Is that in the new Top Gun?
Hahah I can't unsee it now
Actually made me laugh out loud 😂
Top Comment
Thank you! It was nagging me in the back of my mind... what is she reminding me of? F-ing Maverick! BTW I can't stand Top Gun. It's a bullshit Rah!-Rah!-America! movie. Val Kilmer chewing gum with his mouth open, in every scene, makes me want to punch him in the face so bad.
I'm just glad fanboys can't blame the studio for this and that this is purely 100% Zack Snyder
They will still claim it is a master piece no matter how terrible the movie it. They did the same thing with the theatrical version of BvS and it was not until the announcment of the ultimate edition that they started saying that there are problems with the theatrical version
It was made for streaming service specifically. All movies made for streaming services has this kind of low quality. It is obvious he made it just to got some money to invest them into something better
@@dmytrosoboliev935 lmao nice cope
Two years later and Rebel Moon is the latest piece of crap that they insist is a masterpiece.
Some things never change.
@chrissullivan6403 a few months later and the second one was even worse. And he plans on making 4 more rebel moon movies
Tig Notaro’s character was originally played by Chris Delia. They shot the entire movie with him in it. When his sexual assault allegation came out, the production distanced themselves and literally edited him out of the movie. Notaro is legit green screened over him in certain scenes.
the only smart character in the movie is that one dude who 'backs out' the heist
Lol, forgot about that guy. But yeah, he was definitely the smartest
Lmao for reals bro
I don't know why they decided to keep that scene in. It felt misplaced and I kept thinking he was going to get killed as he walked away.
I thought he was literally going to say, "Oh Hell No. I've seen this movie, you all Die!" Came real close though.
Haha, surprised drinker didn’t mention that dude
Someone mentioned that Bautista looks like he’s holding in a sneeze throughout this movie and now I can’t unsee it
I think that was the Pitch Meeting.
@@matthewpatrick7263 Also the Honest Trailer
😂
I think a lot of it is because he actually uses glasses for real and hes squinting to see the people around him when recording a scene.
Haha again that's Class that 👏 💯
And let's not forget how the Alpha Zombies continually do various baddy and super hero comic book poses! I laughed my ass off!
"We need a crafty, sneaky, hawt smuggler lady to get us in. Only she knows the hidden paths. Without her, the journey into the city is impossible."
*walks through shipping container that smuggler lady obviously lives in*
This was the cinematic equivalent of passing a piece of paper around the classroom and each person adds one sentence to continue the story.
You cant be serious
Except all the kids in the class only watched aliens and resident evil 5 .
But no-one knows what story they're writing.
@@namelesswon bro I was thinking this movie is just like re5 or the re aftelife storyline lmaooo
I thought you were going to say wipe their ass with.
"Dull lifeless characters" Unfortunately he wasn't referring to the Zombies.
Unironically the Alpha zombie has the most personality
Did anyone else notice the zombies were robots? Or had blue brains?
So a typical snyder movie
You ain’t kidding
Watching this movie for the third time. The characters were the best part.
I like that all the mercenaries use different guns and different calibers. In a realistic sort of take, seems like it would be a good idea for them to use similar guns and the same calibers so they can share ammunition, or have a team member as the big dude loaded down with all the excess ammo.
When he said they needed a safe cracker to get into the vault I thought the twist was going to be that it wasn’t actually Japanese guy’s vault and he just convinced them to steal for him. Seemed obvious to me, but I guess he just forgot his passcode..?
He forgot how to avoid the traps, too. Or, you know, it's not his vault.
This movie makes the first Resident Evil movie look like a master piece.
You also mean the third sequel cos it's in Vegas in a desert dystopia!
Resident evil is worse, at least Army of the dead isn't based off of a beloved established property.
Resident Evil IS a Masterpiece
This movie makes Birdemic look like a masterpiece!
@@Movies15647 at least if you compare the movies on a base level and ignore the source material Resident Evil comes out on top because it works as a horror movie. Imagine if it was as bad as this pile of trash
"I thought this was going to be an Oceans 11 style heist interrupted by a zombie apocalypse and they'd have to adapt their plans and escape Vegas."
- Some guy with a way better idea than Snyder
Yeah, that would be a good movie. We don't do that anymore but thanks anyway
The prequel is about that
In some ways the idea reminds me of a french film, "La Horde". I recommend you to see it
@@PakoVero is that the one about crooked cops in a high rise?
@@PakoVero La Horde was pretty good. I'd reccommend it.
Dawn of the dead (2004 remake) is probably my favorite zombie movie Zack Snyder made, I still love it even to this day
Dawn of the dead was written by James Gunn
What really ticked me off was when the girl with the bandana dies I mean she jumps through that window behind everyone, she's still alive, hasn't been bit yet but she's fighting off the zombies and everyone's just like "eh not worth it" and walks off and then we get this drawn out dramatic scene like tf literally she could've been saved but for the sake of creating a sad emotional loss they killed her in the dumbest way possible.
What also pisses me off about this movie is the “giant saw guy” never uses his goddamn saw
Chekov's saw.
@Anoneemus Noename dang, I mean you right
A weapon that is burdensome and sprays infected blood everywhere lol I wish it was used then it infects 2 people
@Anoneemus Noename at least it beats a nail gun😉
@Anoneemus Noename +sad Warhammer40k-Space Marine-Chainsword noises+ :-)
You forgot the most ridicolous detail: The Zombie Queen was pregnant and the Alpha wanted revenge for his little baby zombies death
Zeus is the smartest zombie yet he sends her pregnant queen to watch his territory alone with just 1alfa henchman, thats not very smart if you ask me.
Man, they could have at least made them some humanoid mutants for it to make more sense, not the rotting corpses...
@@dangazobiton9774 they aren’t rotting corpses. The alphas are mutants and alive hence the reason they grown hair and can get pregnant.
@@DatZK
Why would it be an issue if they had no reason to suspect anyone would try and kill them?
@@yakiralovesall corpses can grow hair. Hair follicles remain alive long after the rest of the body
No sane father would allow his daughter to go to such a place!
I would rather have her hate me forever than let her go!
Well, he already lost his sanity when he was forced to kill his wife
"As funny as a terminal diagnosis! ", Man he is good!
Imagine if they kill the Alpha at the start and all hell breaks loose, because it turns out, he was the only thing keeping the Zombies somewhat in check, like the Lich King in WoW.
That already sounds like a much more interesting film. Very sad that Snyder had to have his grubby hands in directing and writing, otherwise we could have had something nice like what you came up with.
ruclips.net/video/Tr-afGwCeBI/видео.html
Yea, that would be potentially good movie ... but that would require good scriptwriter and director that can keep it together ..
Although that does sound nice. It doesn't sound doable to me with the established rules of the universe. You would need a great screenwriter to pull that off. If they kill the alpha and all hell does break loose. It would not be understood as to why. We wouldn't have enough time to get to that reason
Oh wow that's a pretty cool idea!
"She's as funny as a terminal diagnosis" I'm stealing that line Drinker, that's gold 😂
😂
Haha that's Class that 👏
Seems legit.
She's probably the most annoying person on the planet.
Speaking of gold, May steal makes my piss boil
The joke is based off the fact that Tig had breast cancer, still funny tho lol.
That tiger: he’s trying hard to make it similar (somewhat) to the bear in Annihilation.
"tig natarro is in this film and I can't understand why" - - because she has a manager who's invested in "the message" and told the producer she wants to be in the film and it'd be a shame if she got turned down and somebody wrote a story about the "homophobic, sexist casting decisions made by the 'army of the dead' producers"
Actually, no. Tig's character was originally played by actor Chris D'elia. His scenes were removed after he was accused of sexual misconduct. That's why Tig's almost entire performance was done solo, as all her scenes were reshoots. What few bits show her with others in the cast was done with CG inserts.
@@cdevil9488 You've explained why they had a replacement actor. But you haven't explained why they chose Tig Natarro to be the replacement rather than choosing a good actor.
I'll never get tired of hearing the drinker saying "why?! DONT KNOW."
Same here, it's just hilarious every time. 😆👍🏻
ruclips.net/video/Tr-afGwCeBI/видео.html
Why? Don't know.
Started watching this with a mate one Friday night. After 10 minutes we turned it off and put Tremors on for the 50th time.
😂😂😂I feel you man
Nothing beats Tremors.
Dang, I wish I would have done that.
I think I went 11 minutes and haven't regretted that decision.
good choice
Zacks a genius when it comes to making things look really cool, but that’s about it. He can’t write a good story on his own, that’s why his best movies (watchmen and 300) either have really simple stories like Spartans fight bad guys the story was written by someone else and he just had to put it to film.
300 was a comic book adaptation too, the original was by Frank Miller.
What I say. Zach Snyder's biggest hindrance is his ambition to tell a smart story.
Dude, stick to simple stories with great visuals and you gonna please everybody.
Watchhmen was his worst movie
he should went back to making music videos
That’s just biased thinking then.
I thought those movies were great, although not his original works as they were made by others, he only took the source material to make a film off of an already successful product.
I get tired of repeatedly pointing out that 'Watchmen', '300', and even 'Dawn of the Dead' are technically not stories "created by" Snyder. He took existing material that was already great - and in the case of Watchmen and 300 - literally made movies that were frame-for-frame exactly what was in the original graphic novels (panel-per-panel). And with Dawn - every bit of dark humor and wit was from a script by James Gunn. If Snyder had written the script for Dawn - it would have ended up like Army: a non-sensical mess.
Fr
What makes you think Snyder created Army of the Dead or really had any control over the creative process?
@@bighands69 Because his ass has been saying it to anyone who puts a camera in front of his face?
And yet he still fucked watchmen by changing the ending,
Personally I never found Watchmen to be great. Except for Rohrschach
The moment I saw the truck transporting the ultra "zombie" get desintegrated when crashing with a car and the two soldiers not using the perfectly safe humvee to escape, I knew this movie was going to be a total trainwrreck
“We gotta get out of here”
*runs away from car that’s right next to them and goes into the desert*
Yep ... because Snyder wanted to steal another scene from a better movie...he has them run away and then trip fall laugh and get eaten 🤔 where have I seen this before.
When that stuff happened. I knew the movie was going to be shitty. I left after that scene and came back to watch later. I was spot on
That's exactly where I turned it off.
The moment the leed humvee swerved away from the car and let it hit the protected truck you know movie is a convoluted crap. First thing the lead car vehicle has to do is to protect the main vehicle of the convoy. I stopped watching there to be honest.
The city didn’t need a nuclear bomb, instead it got a Batista bomb...
I’ll show myself out...
If the movie actually bombs this works on multiple levels
Its not Batistas fault, the script was shit
I haven't watched the movie and now I don't plan to, but please tell me he gave a Batista bomb to at least one zombie?
@@The_child-catcher sadly no. However, you should probably just watch the intro credits sequence. Its a self contained story and its pretty great.
Lol. While I agree with your sentiments, "I couldn't even tell you their names. Guess which ones are going to die first. Remember Aliens? Remember how each character in that film was unique?" There were 12 Marines that landed on LV-426. Without looking them up, name the Marines. Guess which ones die first.
Thanks Drinker, you've saved me yet again from another bad flick.
Reply to the daughter: You don't have neither the training nor the experience. You will only put the whole team and the friend you want to rescue in danger. You wanna do something useful? Wait for us here and treat our wounds when we come back.
The thing is he allowed her time grow up a petulant child since he spend those years dwelling on himself and what he had to do. So she grew up none of the life skills he possesses or the critical thinking ones which tends to lead to either despair and I’ll do whatever I want (or have to) all the time or a savior complex to help everyone even though I lack pretty much any skill to do so and will likely harm others in the process of learning even the most basic things
Due to that situation the time constraints and knowledge of her character the best thing is incapacite or restraint her to avoid her harming herself or others until he got back.
But nope...if she'd have done that...she wouldn't be the strong independent woman that movies have to have. Better to make her the selfish, dangerous moron who gets everyone killed character...yay waaamen!
@@AndyCigars true dat respect all whamen and don’t point out any of their flaws is the core of that statement nowadays
Yes, yes, yes.
But chick power, ya' know...
That helicopter they escape on, it doesn't look nearly large enough for the whole team, let alone them and huge stacks of cash.
That's exactly what I thought from the moment i saw the helicopter model figure.I mean...there's no way all these people and all these bags could ever possibly fit in this tiny helicopter.
It's not. Just one the NUMEROUS plot holes in this movie that was written by Zack Snyder.
It’s just meant for the right hand and the head he’s trying to bring back. He says it too
@@iamme1361 is this a helicopter for ants?
That, and I don't think helicopter fuel lasts as long however many years Vegas was walled off.
cheers to the Shawn of the Dead reference!!
best zombie movie EVER.
Frost, Apone, Gorman, Hicks, Spunkmeyer, Vazquez, Fero, Wierzbaski, Hudson, Crowe and Drake...yet I can't name a single character from this movie.
"The dull, lifeless characters that all blend into a generic mass of nothingness". We ARE talking about the zombies, right? No? Well... crap.
The Zombie and their relationship was more interesting then the whole move the fact that they can have babies was interesting
@@quark-soup you missed the whole point I was trying to make. Get off ur high horse and calling me a fool was uncalled for.
@@quark-soup Only a fool would assume something is "dead" when its obviously alive. Its not your typical zombie. Just like in 28 days later, the brilliant movie you mentioned. The "zombies" are alive with a virus so its safe to assume that if someone would have sex with the infected could in fact get pregnant. There are different types of zombies, like the rotting corpses that rise from the grave in older movies. You're an idiot that puts people down for pointing something out that they like without even thinking about the possibilities that a FICTIONAL movie can produce. Dont call people fools, man, just chill out. Its just a fucking movie. You can enjoy it or not. Doesn't mean you cant discuss theories.
Yeah but you if could only see 'em when it rains...
@@quark-soup duh the zombie thing was stupid. The whole movie was that was the whole point of the comment. Y are u so aggro? Chill out dood
Literally the perfect “do not take your daughter to work” movie 🤣
Zack Snyder wrote the Army script in 2005, but the dude really should have rewrote it, cause you can really tell this is a screenplay made 15 years ago.
No it doesn't. Movies haven't gotten better over 15 years, dude. It was a shit script then, just as now.
I swear to god, I GMed this game using Gurps. I set it up to my RP group like this, Casino Heist during a zombie outbreak. I even had zombie tiger from Siegfried and Roy. PLUS a bunch of lions from the MGM.
"Batista and his red shirts." Major points awarded for that line.
Hey! Did you knew?
That German Guy IS German!!
Hurray, its a complex Movie!!
I´m gonna tell you to see something. And once you see it, you can´t "unsee" it.
But....
10:22 Why does Batista look like a shrunken head??
I’m still trying to figure out HOW they walled of an entire city with cargo containers to stop the zombies from spreading.
Stop it, you'll hurt yourself. Don't try to force logic and rational sequence progression onto this brain dead mess.
Early in the movie it does say that the U.S military took heavy casualties, most likely due to them guarding the walls construction and dying while fighting the zombies. Though who the fuck was the dumb ass that thought sending in paratroopers was a good idea? Because yeah a slow descent into open areas with zombies was such a good idea.
It makes sense if you dont think about it.
@@explorinjenkins349 not really, they show the wall being built, they even show people dying to protect the wall and then say and it took huge casualties. If like D-Day, you know the numbers and you know the Americans won. Unless you like history a lot to go into the details (like my father) then know the time/place/who died when,where, and why, it doesn't matter
Those aren't shipping containers, those are 'plot armor'. Duh.
This is the first film I actually had to bail out of after an hour. It was literally making me physically mad how stupid it all was - and it's a zombie action movie... it's not like I went into it expecting the Shawshank Redemption with guns and the undead. The fact there was another HOUR AND A HALF to go when I had to tap out like I was in a fucking UFC choke hold genuinely worries me for whatever Zack might decide to do next.
Same, i watch bad movies too but stopped this one. Coukd only watch it with mindset "this is a comic hero attitude of the type makes zero sence".
Painful.
11:30 Tig "acts" the same way in that star trek show she's in. She's not acting, she's being herself.
"guys, we are going into a zombie wasteland where one bite can turn you into the undead. "
"What are you gonna wear?"
"I dunno, jeans and a Tshirt, i guess."
or better, sleeveless shirts
Legit, just use some paper or duct tape to block the teeth unless they have super pointy teeth
@@Predator20357 I think in some zombie movie a guy did tape magazines to his forearm, for some temporary protection and padding against bites.
@@andrewp8284 WWZ I believe
@@andrewp8284 train to busan
"We're headed into THE zombie-infested wasteland. No one wear long sleeves of any sort, you got me?"
Or wear armour like pit in wwz
To be fair on this point it is Las Vegas in the middle of the desert where temperatures without armor can be fatal. I didn't have much problem with that part considering the setting
Well why would they? We see the alpha bite through the layers of gear the MC was wearing and infect him, but yes, you’d think that they would have some level of anti-shambler armor like leather, can’t do much against the smarter alphas
@@kristiannicholson5893 So is Kabul, Afghanistan. I don't see the Americans wearing cut offs and tank tops on maneuvers. Comfort isn't really part of the equation.
@@satsubatsu347 it 100% is, if you haven't seen how those troops prepare for combat in those environments then you should look it up. It's fking brutal. But you're comparing highly trained and equipped soldiers facing long range ordinance to a group of civilians expecting to face unarmed shamblers. There's plenty to pick apart about this movie but the costumes are the least of them.
I work in one of the locations that they shot this film at. The dilapidated appearance of those shots are actually 100% how it looks even to this day.
You right actually, i used to think “zack synder this will be cool” no i think zack snyder “eh ill get to it when i get to it, sure im not really missing anything”
My favorite part has to be when King Zombie gets off a skyscraper and rides his horse back home faster than the helicopter can fly there.
that scene infuriated me. stuff like this feels like the director is insulting my intelligence.
@@s1nnocense or the fact that the one guy says that he’s going to the roof and take the helicopter. Yet 10 seconds later he leaves trough the front door of the building… Like how stupid do you think we are ?
How many people worked on this movie ? And not one of them thought “hmm that doesn’t look right” ?
yup...rewatched this movie last night and that shit made no sense , im like did he teleport ? you reaaaally gotta turn your brain off for this movie and just enjoy the action
@@TopFlightSecurity415 exactly what I did, and it does a really good job of being entertaining if you do
Snyder: Zombies reanimate when it rains.
Me: I thought it almost never rains in Las Vegas.
Snyder: What? Fine! Forget I ever said it!
Snyder: but don't take out that line
Normal person: why? If you're gonna have zombies then why not make it rain as an oddity?
Snyder: Just do as I say. Also add these new scenes in slow motion.
They could multiply like Gremlins... I'm mean if we're borrowing shit from other movies like a tweaker shop lifting in Seattle.
Would have been funny if that mound was on the fountains and they had to restart the fountain to open the safe...
Yeah it's like an A.D. pulled Zack aside and said "ehhh Sir, it only rains 5 inches a year in Las Vegas, and is sunny 294 days a year on average" and he went exactly as Radha said "forget it!"
Could have been a great action scene if they were walking along and suddenly it started raining. Someone: Hey, it looks like we're getting some rain. Batista: Uh oh.
No one mentions it but, the 10th time the lead zombie had to growl dramatically at the camera i rolled my eyes for the 9th time.
I was going to give this a go purly on the strength of Dave Bautista being in it, I really do think he's going to deveop into a really good actor. Then I saw Tig Notaro was involved and yea, sod that!
This film felt like it was adapted from a mediocre comic book. None of the characters behaved like normal people and the plot was as holey as a slice of fine Swiss cheese. I barely managed to sit through it and only by completely switching off all critical thought.
What's up Rogue9, it's hey here.
honestly if this one became like suicide squad with zombies, it would've been a better movie, it already looks like it in the poster
Zach obviously wanted to make an adaptation of “The Crossed”, a shitty comic about zombies that “forcibly breed” with humans.
Rogue9 - Critical Drinker Siege crossover when?
Yeah. I haven't even finished it. I stopped after the weird argument with the character from Luke Cage. Is it worth at least one watch in your opinion?
“Unreasonably hot smuggler lady”
Yeah, this trope is a tell-tale sign of the type of film you’re about to be confronted with.
I mean there are earlier signs, for example when the car crashes against the military truck at the begining I had to pause and said "wtf that car must've been loaded with nitro".
Yeah, she should’ve been a manly they/them instead, right? But then you probably would’ve just complained about that also, so maybe just stfu and enjoy the movie for what it is?
Smuggles people who escaped death back into the city they evacuated from. WTF
I thought she was getting people out of the shithole Cosby camp so they could restart their lives. Nope.
@@sassysasquatch5441 you mean trash? Literally nothing about this movie makes sense.
I was actually cheering on the zombies because they were at least remotely interesting
Unreasonably hot hacker lady.
Bvs and Mos weren't misses it was amazing
Exactly. Both of those are highly misunderstood and underappreciated.
You forgot to mention that scene when that “comedian “ was flying the chopper and Batista begged her to stay on the roof while they go on a pointless rescue mission, and it was a fake out 🤨🤨🤨
This movie can be summarized in a single phrase - Tone deaf
I thought the opening credits showed a much better movie than the one I ended up having to watch.
Snyder is simply demonstrating that zombie movies are tired and overdone. They’re basically cringe now, relying on gratuitous violence as a well-worn crutch. It was interesting when zombie media, like Dawn of the Dead or Walking Dead, had actual substance like thought-provoking commentary on matters including consumer culture and tribalism.
Now zombie media is stupid. Cheap thrills for the masses. But it gets views, so it gets pumped out ad nauseum. Yawn. Soulless and an insult to the viewer.
@@fatbikerchick6717 the best part of the movie. Sad it was just a rip off of zombie lands intro
Oh snap
Crossover episode
mmmmm. no. you're wrong
* lays script down *
"Well... I mean, at least it will look good."
* guy adjusting the lens *
_"Are you sure about that?"_
Right? Tony Northrup loves this film. Don't tell Camera Conspiracies.
Couldn't afford a script doctor...............
Both guys are the same guy lmao they are both zack
Also why was the trailer more colorful than what we actually got? Like come on for movie set in Las Vegas it certainly doesn't take any advantage of its location.
Zack Snyder is like an Aging Major League Baseball player he hits them out the park sometimes, but mostly strikes out
I've started using your trademark 'DON'T KNOW' facetiously during work meetings. All things considered, I think it's going over well
This movie was the perfect movie for me to "watch" on my second monitor while I was doing things on my primary one.
I use muted Sucker Punch like this. I've never bothered watching with the sound on or trying to sit through the whole thing.
@@jbbrolic The action scenes in SP are great. Worth rewatching. The story is beyond braindead. So yeah you're better off not hearing anything they say.
Watch the NES Tetris Classics World Tournaments on RUclips... amazing! Trust me, I thought it was boring when presented with it in the recommendations... but after the first one I continued to watch all finals! True entertainment! 👍😃
The same reason on why I was able to "watch" this twice
@@jbbrolic Exactly the perfect use for Sucker Punch. Movie isn't really worth paying attention to but it does have some nice eye candy now and then. Might have been a good movie if it had been rated R.
"She's about as funny as a terminal diagnosis." Fuuuck LOL
lol he did his research 😂
Was just about to post this. Absolutely savage.
@OscarMikeOut LOL! I bet this actually is completely true!
*story spoilers*
Q1: Does the Coyote have to sacrifice a member of her party *every time* she leads a group into the quarantine zone to get safe passage? If so, how has she not garnered a horrible reputation at camp? "Don't ever go with that woman, there's a 1-in-4 chance she'll kneecap you and hand you over to the zombies."
Q2: If Wealthy Japanese Businessman was never concerned about the money and only wanted the head of an Alpha, why did he frame it as a heist? Why didn't he just hire more Entrusted Corporate Henchmen to go in, get the head, and get out?
It just seems like attaching a spy onto a self-selected group of military-trained, money-hungry mercenaries who are actively being lied to is the worst way to see your plan work out.
you forgot to mention the best part of the movie , the opening montage. it told a more interesting more cohesive story than the actual movie
Can’t forget the parts where they clearly show multiple zombies to actually be cyborgs / robots yet literally never address it because haha sequel time
If they do a sequel. I hope it's never addressed. I like open ended things like that
@@Original-Yellow I hated it, but I hope if he does a sequel, that the robot zombies are barely acknowledged, and more shit is egregiously added in without any context. Like let's have a some dinosaurs appear but for only like 10 seconds or so.
I want Snyder and Abrams to be competing with each other for who can have the most pointless and unexplained world building.
@@neonsprawl8009 Abraham Lincoln should get a completely unexplained cameo . He should save the main character by holding some zombies off with a wood axe ,and then never be mentioned again .
@@neonsprawl8009 personally I think Abrams is the master of pointless and unexplained, plots and things in general, hes WAAAAAY ahead of Snyder, its all lover Star Trek, Star Wars, Lost. If Abrams or bad robot is involved I dont watch it. Leaving a few questions can be good for a film but the JJs way is just badly contrived and incoherent
@@t3h51d3w1nd3r I agree that Abrams has the track record, but I also think that Snyder may be catching up with all the DC Universe stuff and now this.
I felt like I was watching a mash-up of "Ocean's Eleven" and "Resident Evil".
That's about it. Watch the 2 movies, story board pieces from both, add connecting stories to tie both in together.
Meets 2021
Pretty sure that was the elevator pitch.
I think I'd much rather watch those than this trash.
@@asdf51501 Nah, I rather play some of the classic Resident Evils.
„You are seriously telling me not a single one managed to score a headshot“
Shows clip of lead alpha with bullet proof helmet
A zombie riding a horse with a helmet is already too stupid
@@DiggitySlice yeah it kinda is but I don’t like that sometimes movie reviewers say something and then show the opposite in the video
i couldnt get past the convoy wrecking. when i saw the first zombies were "fast" and a "smart" i pulled the ripcord and got out early. nice to see i didnt miss anything.
I swear to god watching the drinker’s reviews is more entertaining than most of the movies he talks about
I mean he does cover a lot of steaming turds so it's pretty easy to make it more entertaining
‘Don’t think about it. Just look at the lens flare’ is the greatest JJ tribute ever.
But! It's SO COOL for EVERY GODDAMN scene to have its own soundtrack! Edgy! Dark!
I appreciated this movie for the visual effects(cause that's what I do)...
Basically the first 10 minutes or so is all you need to watch LOL!
"I forced myself to watch it so you don't have to."
Your sacrifice has not gone unnoticed, Drinker. I'll send ya a bottle of Gentleman Jack.
A gentleman for a gentleman
"Sir, we can nuke Las Vegas and wipe this problem out." "Yeah but let's wait a few days because that makes it more dramatic."
LMAO that was the first thing I thought too... "Hey we have this literal zombie outbreak contained, time to nuke it to sanitize the place, oh wait let's wait a few days and risk it spreading via the super smart advanced zombies or dumbasses sneaking in/out." Lmao

Funnily enough that was the reason why they didn't nuke the place. There was a news report earlier in the movie that the nuke was originally scheduled to drop on July 4th because it's the best day to celebrate wiping out the zombies of all days. Of course common sense started to kick in and the government decided to nuke the place ahead of schedule.
....they literally explain why in the film
Hell in Avengers 1 and Batman vs Superman they only decided to nuke a city like less than an hour after the fight went down with little time to see the situation. Even the Resident Evil Apocalypse government nuked Racoon city less than 24 hours after the virus hit.
I like how Dillahunt was basically the Burke character from Aliens. Seeing them as weapons to be brought back.
I had to walk my drunk girlfriend home, she kept passing out for like every couple minutes. I got her home and she kept throwing up so I had to look after hour. It was 4 in the morning before I got her to sleep, so I sat and watched this film to make sure she didn’t throw up in her sleep; safe to say the worst thing that happened that night was this movie
I feel like near the end he just started killing characters for the sake of killing them
dude did you see the cgi for the helicopter leaving? 😭😂
"Bautista and His Red Shirts" sounds like a band Dave plays with on the weekends. solid ST reference though.
Hi Barry! Big fan!
The opening scene of vegas looked fun! Then the movie took a turn
Everytime that zombie raises his arm like a revolutionary leader I die inside a little
"Thanks for giving us Chekhov's zombie, Zack" If that line doesn't perfectly sum up this movie, I don't know what does😂
They would've been Chekhov's zombies, if they would've risen in the end!
Comet clark must have obliterated the movie studio going by the results.
One of my biggest irritations of the movie was zombie animals. As soon as that happens there's no quarantine that could possibly be effective. As soon as it hits rats and birds then there is no chance of containing the infection in one location, especially when there is a massive camp of people just outside the wall of the zone.
Resident Evil would disagree with you, sir.
Good point. I like to think of the last 5 to 6 years of Hollywood films as the death of logic.
but...the cheetahs look cool!
The tiger or whatever was already in Las Vegas and I don’t think any other animals got turned into zombies
@@JadeRunner Just because someone doesn't understand the implications of their decisions and doesn't include them in their story, it doesn't make those decisions good. It makes them poor decisions and shows gaps in the knowledge of the writer.
This movie is just like playing a video game with an Escort Mission where the heroes need to keep an obnoxious person alive with terrible AI, that will get in your way, or cause your team mates to die.
That Shaun of the Dead moment was awesome. BTW, Corneto trilogy anytime soon?
"Shove 2 pencils up your nose holes and slam your head on the table"
that imagery made me recoil lol
"TA-DA! It's mag...it's...gone..."
MAGICAL
XD
"It's got zombies, guns, and Las Vegas. There's not many ways you can fuck that up."
Hollywood: Let us give you one more reason to drink yourself insensible.
Your reviews of this, Zach Snyder's Justice League, and Cruella all touch on an unavoidable fact about the rapid replacement of cinemas with streaming services. In a theater, it's more profitable for a movie to be short, so they can show it more times per day. With a streaming service, it's more profitable for a movie (sorry, movies are called "content" now, like the stuff inside a pillow) to be long, so the viewer doesn't run out of stuff to click on.
Your movie reviews are the best videos on RUclips regarding the topic. So entertaining
I'm sure he's working on a Snyder cut of this that's like 4 hours long.
Surely not.
He'll yeah, maybe digitally supimposed Tig Nataro could offer Dave Batista a reacharound after he gets prison loved.
We live in a society!
#ReleaseTheSnyderCut
Apparently they’re making an animated prequel
The Pretentious cut! A Hack Snyder specialty!
No its even worse he's working on a sequel.
Remember Drinker, the lead Alpha was wearing Magneto's helmet during most battles
Unless the helmet was covering his eyes, a headshot is still possible at close range.

You act like military personnel wouldn't be carrying shit that would pierce through a crudely forged and shaped chunk of metal
@@dylancross1039 this. That thing wouldn't stop an assault rifle round.
@Shwazara the movie hopes you believe that too. Did you know cars aren't bulletproof either?
"... shove two pencils in your nose and hit the table..." - golden!
This movie should be called “Plotholes: The Movie”
Thought about starting a drinking game where we'd take a shot for every plothole and inconsistency but we'd be dead from alcohol poisoning within the first 25 minutes.
I think I had the ultimate confirmation was when they set up an abandoned Huey helicopter to ferry out:
1. $500 MILLION
2. The team itself
Uhm, NO. There's barely enough room for HALF the team, and they're going to haul out about 20-40 duffel bags worth of cash? It's like they expected maybe two or three to survive...
...okay, in that context, it makes more sense, but you'd think Bautista's pilot would ask, "Uhm, WTF?"
So a typical Zack Snyder movie?
@@thisshouldbeentertaining3386 i think critical drinker will beat us all on that one mate, hahahahah
That “Plot Holes Don’t Matter “ guy would have CONSECUTIVE ANEURYSMS!
XD
No one is talking about the truly frightening element to this movie... the fact that they are now able to digitally remove actors from movies and replace them. Like they did with the one guy and substituting him with the thespian "comedian"... I could care less about that guy's whatever that got him kicked out of the movie, but wait til they start going back and removing "problematic" classic actors from films. Mel Gibson will just disappear from all the Mad Max movies now and be replaced by Seth Rogen.
That is really scary. I hope they don't do that to my favorite movies. Unfortunately, they probably will.
No one with the power to do that cares enough to do it
@@nightblood7575 "Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia."
I'm not as worried about old movies as I am about other potential abuses of this technology.
What the movie Kung Pow! is, with the technology at the time
@@nightblood7575
Disney had started doing that decades ago
They edited scenes of the movie fantasia
Love it when u say-"Why?...Don't know"
I lasted less than 10 minutes. Thank you for confirming my priors.
