Lot's of fans of the book won't see the film, as they've made the zombies so stupid. In the book, I think they're supposed to be like regular zombies, but in the film they've made them like superhumans!

I've read the book and his survive guide I am aware that it's absolutely nothing like the book but it still looks pretty good

Got tickets for this at the Empire thanks to rosane. Nice to see caitlinmorton who spotted me as I was walking in with my friend.

Seeing Brad do the intro made my day he's just gorgeous and I loved the film. The way it ended it looks like there might be a sequel....I hope so there's never enough zombie movies in my book :D

Well we didn't get a Brad Fitt introduction tonight, but at least we got screen 1 at the Empire, which this film was made for. Mindless blockbuster but I still really enjoyed it, tense and unexpectedly funny, with some great action sequences and special effects, it even got an applause at the end. I didn't think much of the 3D, and there were a few plot holes indeed, but still an 8/10 from me. If you're gonna see it, find the biggest screen available!

Saw this tonight at Empire Leicester Square thanks to Kevinknapman. Tonight is was packed.

A great action blockbuster. Not much thinking required. Tense and suspenseful. Go see it on the biggest screen possible as recommened by theDude.

Here is my review:- http://londonfilmfan.blogspot.co.uk/201 ... -marc.html

A solid 8/10

I've heard that too. Interested to know what that means. Might grab an e-book as well.

I've read and loved the book! Well worth a read and is wildly different from the trailers and synopsis I've seen for the film. I'll be going to see this and keeping it firmly in my mind that it is WWZ in name only!
