Romero's zombie movies have always been about people, not zombies.
With James Rolleston, Lawrence Makoare, Te Kohe Tuhaka, Xavier Horan. 2:03
Stylistically and, certainly, technically, the film is pretty effective, yet fancy style and technical craftsmanship can't drive this film too far, thus the film goes kept alive by what it delivers on in the substance department, which goes tainted by a degree of bland structuring and, of course, near-ceaseless tropes, yet is generally rather inspired, with some depth and intrigue that is made all the sharper by concepts that are, in fact, unique, and pretty interesting for that matter.
Simply put, 'Land of the Dead' just doesn't achieve where the previous three entries in the fabulous 'Living Dead' series shone, even with double the budget. Schaue dir alle 2 Videos jetzt an!

Unrest and anarchy are on the rise among the city's disenfranchised and outside, the army of the dead is changing, evolving, learning to organize and communicate.When Cholo commandeers Dead Reckoning, intent on extorting millions out of Kaufman and his cronies, Riley and his ragtag group-including Slack (ASIA ARGENTO) and Charlie (ROBERT JOY)-are called into action to stop Cholo and, in the process, protect the city and its population from the growing army of evolving zombies storming its weakening perimeter.Universal Pictures and Atmosphere Entertainment MM present A Mark Canton-Bernie Goldmann and Romero-Grunwald Production, in association with Wild Bunch: George A. Romero's Land of the Dead, starring Simon Baker, Dennis Hopper, Asia Argento, Robert Joy and John Leguizamo. I like the song and all, though I suppose we may never fully understand the minds of Scots and Aussies, much less a Scot-Aussies' (Doesn't Fred from "Scooby Doo" wear Aussie-Scots?) In ancient Maori times, an undead warrior and a young tribeswoman team up to find a way to stop the evil dead from rising.
The jaunty undead epic 'Land of the Dead' may not be as renowned as the previous three films in the loosely connected franchise but it is by no means inferior. The living dead have taken over the world, and the last humans live in a walled city to protect themselves as they come to grips with the situation. In its place is the never-ending nightmare existence of us-the living-versus them-the "walkers."

To bring food and other essential supplies to the occupants of the city and to allow the Green's well-to-do to acquire the scarce luxury items to which they were once accustomed, a hardened group of mercenaries-headed by Riley (SIMON BAKER) and his second-in-command, Cholo (JOHN LEGUIZAMO)-run retrieval missions outside the city, protected by their massive armored vehicle, Dead Reckoning.

But this has always been Romero's metier.
