World War Z.

i was do hyped. and it single handedly ended the zombie movie genre that was popular at the time

Should have stuck to the book. Doing vignettes about how the invasion affected people would have been far more interesting.

the sad part is that few people will read the book because the movie was so bad.

I kinda liked it, not great by any means, maybe 3/5. But i liked the book way better

the book and the movie have absolutely nothing in common besides the name. it was such a disapointing mediocre zombie film, based on a really good book that used "zombies" to explore war, survival, refuge crisis...
