  1. It's been a very busy weekend and I don't think I've ever been more in the mood for a film like ARMY OF THE DEAD. Once my jab is done, I'm going to curl up to watch zombie heist nonsense.

      Now that's an opening credit sequence. Hoping that, unlike Snyder's WATCHMEN, it's not the high point of the film.

        Dave Bautista's pathos already reminds me of his stellar five-minutes-or-however-long in BLADE RUNNER 2049. He's going to have a terrific career.

          ARMY OF THE DEAD is big dumb fun but it's also emotionally anchored by Bautista giving an incredible performance. Without him it would be a lesser film and it's more evidence for how the MCU did Drax dirty.

            Drax deserved to kill Thanos. At some point after GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY, Marvel forgot that Drax had an arc and a personality and turned him into a moronic comic relief character. Bautista deserved more.

              Back to ARMY OF THE DEAD: as a zombie / heist movie genre mashup, it's designed to be at least a little self-referential but it's a shame that some of its best plot beats and even lines are straight-up taken from other better action films. Nonetheless, I had a great time with it.
