05/24/04: Not bad....but falls foul of literally every single cliche that there is.

Posted By: omc


For a start, Danny Boyle's knowlege of central London is slightly warped. This geezer can wake up in St. Thomas's hspital, and walk up to Leiceter Square and back atleast twice in 20 minutes, and then get chased by zombies and run into Canary Wharf within a few seconds, which is a good 5 miles away. And don't get me started on his odd walk to Deptford, back to the docklands... bah forget it.

Anyway, we have the token hard-faced black woman, (who is cold as ice, hard as nails but is still woman enoegh to have a lust for chocolate) the damaged kid, the gentle, big guy as the kid's father, and the thick-as-shit soldiers led by an evil middle-class charming villain.

The plot is again, old and worn out. The zombies are pretty well-done and aren't the traditional slow 'duh' type ones, which is good. The camera-work is deliberately dodgy but still is confusing and, wuite frankly shit.

Bollox can't be arsed to type intellectually anymore. Carry on....
