i'm always going on about how much i love romero and zombies this could be really good its never going to be a new dawn of day but it could be as good as land if not better which i happend to really like diary though if it wern't for the amish man would have been a complete waste of time the acting was as wooden as a tree and the camera work well did we not see that when it was good the first time round the only other movie that has come close to making good use of that camera style was REC which is personally the best horror movie to have come out for a long time come on george make me proud

Land I like. Diary however, was absolute shit.  If it had been made by anyone else, it wouldn't have made a theatrical run.

I own EVERY Romero zombie film and i mean EVERY one i have the two versions of night, 3 different versions of dawn of the dead, day, land and diary and the remakes of night and dawn.

I love all his zombie films cos there is gore social commentary and great fun with his films and i when they announced last year or earlier this one that he'd made diary and was planning a sequel i was like woah 2 films but i will buy this as soon as it comes i have that much faith in the man, he hasnt me down yet and his zombie films are the best of the genre even like 40 years on

The man is a master and good luck george keep bringing life to the dead

Don't mean to be disrespectful to the man but does he not have any ideas that stretch beyond zombies going around eating people. i suppose he may be a little old to find a new niche in film making but aren't his zombie films getting a bit old for filmgoers who want fresh new ideas? or is it just me?

diary of the dead was awful crappy..... a sensless zombiestory, and at the end we find the usual romero-critic... please stop making movies now...., if you still have to send pictures to cinema, stay on your routines and don't try to make something new.... arrghh, sorry, the rest of the dead movies was really great!

I'm not a huge zombie movie fan but what the hell was wrong with Land of The Dead?

I loved it, Asia Argento was awesome, Leguazamo was cool as frack, Hopper was also great.

rubbish, Land of the Dead was a great film, the only thing that spoiled it was that Universal tried to turn the film into this big Summer film, which it wasn't.

Honestly, Romeros lost it, Land was awful, Diary was even worse, time to stop trying to match the old masterpieces.

I thought Land .. was a good idea with great potential but missed one major factor and that was the scare factor. The lead zombie was  no threat and the zombies were not scary. 
Both Dawns.. had zombies that would eventually creep up on you en mass or chase after you relentlessly. Romero has to go back to the drawing board and work on the most important fundamentals of horror - tension, suspense and being scary. Maybe Diary.. offers this as I have not viewed it as yet but the [REC] director used these tools to great effect.  Forget social bloody commentary, create a proper horror flick.

Diary was a bit of a dissapointment, however it was still better than [REC*], Land had studio interferance, although i love the film it was nowhere near as good as his original Trilogy.
Still, i'm a fan of most of romero's movies, i can't wait for the next dead movie. anything has to be better that another shitty RESIDENT EVIL movie. as long as Romero does something exciting, i shall be there to watch.

Why has empire edited out the fact that i said LAND of the dead had Studio interferance? also Diary of the dead was better than [REC*]? freedom of speech, i didn't state anything that was that controversial? so why Censor me empire? what's the crack?

All of Romero's 'Dead' films are social commentaries. 'Night' was, now this is just my opinion, a reaction against Vietnam and the anger present in America in the late 60's: The Watts Riots, Realisation that the US Government were fallable and could lie to their people. All sorts of stuff. 'Dawn' was the rise of consumerism and a satire on an AMerica wallowing in capitalism and vacuous materialism. 'Day' is a nihilistic view of Reaganomics, about how the threat of nuclear war and the hopelessness of the fact the world could end meaning why carry on.

'Land' I think is about trying to make a new start, almost a message of hope, not just in the hero's bid to make it out of Fiddler's Green, but even in a silly way by the evolution of the zombies, thru their leader saying 'look, just leave us alone'

And BTW, all 'Dead films' had rubbish zombies (if your reasoning is rubbish in that they didn't just walk about trying to eat people)
