World War Z Trailer

i was disappointed when i saw the trailer. as i hear it they had to re shoot 7 scenes and do some major rewriting. I was hoping more like a documentary type of movie instead of the 28 days later. i think the walking dead has a beat on it than this pile of rioting corpses. Who knows it might turn out to be good.

Heart ... Another point is that the action / sci-fi / fantasy flicks do not need to tell a decent story because the plot holes can be whitewashed with CGI effects.

That is why Raiders of the Lost Ark is so much better than The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, for instance.

I would even bet on it: "World War Z" with and produced by Pitt won't be as bad or even worse then "Ozombie". My disappointment about what is displayed in this trailer is huge, no matter what. But maybe, just maybe, the movie will be a whole lot different from what the trailer tells us ... (This is a thoght along the "hope-" or "wishful-thinking"-line ...)

I thought the bleak doomsday scenarios of the political campaign ad that ran prior to the trailer would have made a better zombie film. Seriously, were those the Orcs from LOTR: The Two Towers climbing that wall? If your name isn't Stephen Spielburgh or James Cameron, then STAY AWAY from CGI. Yes, this includes you too, George Lucas.

Out of curiosity, if the movie ends up being entertaining (I'm not saying a cinematic masterpiece, but entertaining), but completely untrue to the source material except for the broadest possible margins, could you still enjoy it? Or would you view it as utter and complete BETRAYAL! and demand your time and money back?

Hi WD, did not Lucas and Spielberg team up for Indiana Jones 4? That was such a bad movie and it used so massively CGI that it almost made me leave the cinema. Oh, the good old days, when Indy killed evil nazis in hand-to-hand combat are long gone - sorry, got to stop weeping.

I would still enjoy the movie AND consider the usage of the original source's name/ label as betrayal; but if the movie is not enjoyable, then, hell, I hope some people loose their jobs ...

Just imagine: Shia LaBeouf vs. Nazis ...

That.
Does.
Not.
Work.

So, the CGI in Indy IV was the lesser of two small evils ...
