I'm not actually going to spoil anything, but if I have to justify my position, yes, there will be spoilers.

Anyway, yeah, this is my monthly "call something s***" topic.

I agree that it's massively overrated, but I wouldn't call it bad...

That's acceptable, and probably more in line with my way of thinking, but I wouldn't just want to make this another overrated topic, would I?

When it was good, it was good. Mostly it just was. And then it was ruined.

It took me more than one viewing to adapt to its type of humor, and when I did, it turned into a great movie.

I didn't like it. Was expecting "affectionate parody" like Hot Fuzz, not "zombie movie with some jokes thrown in". Got more scares than laughs.

No, it's a romantic comedy with zombies thrown in.

You could probably jump at one moment and this statement would be technically correct.

As someone else said, it's advertised as a romantic comedy using a zombie apocalypse as the setting, but my biggest issue is that despite this, they decided they still had to go all in with the zombie thing, and create mood whiplash and lapses of logic that completely take away from the experience.

Yeah, outside of Shaun and tubby comic relief man, I was apathetic towards pretty much everybody. And even then, I didn't particularly care about Shaun.

Which made the decision to wipe out the cast in the last ten minutes even more pointless.

I can't see how this movie scared you, honestly. The only thing that got a reaction out of me is being grossed the hell out by the snarker literally being torn open by a mob of zombies.

And then useless female opened the effing doors and ran into a field of undead and my feelings of nauseousness quickly lapsed into a different kind of disgust.

Wait, you expected this to be a parody, then don't like the one of the biggest moments of when it is one?

*I may be confusing you with the other guy but it looked like you were agreeing with him.

Great writing, great acting, witty, funny, tense- an all-around excellent satire/homage. I mean, it's not everybody's cup of tea, but calling it "bad" is highly questionable.

Yeah, to say you don't like it is cool. Not everybody likes everything, obviously. But to say it's a "bad movie" is pretty objectively wrong. It's just not what you, personally, expected it to be.

I was expecting it to be a parody, true, but I'm never going to mark a movie down because of a false assumption. I understand fully what it was. My main gripe with that moment, along with the entire final ten to fifteen minutes of the movie, was that it seemed completely unnecessary.
