I know... I know... how can I give a Zombie movie a 2.5?!!!

I did like this movie.  The problem I have with it is mainly because I read the book.  It has some portions that are like the book, but the overall story is no where near what was written.

The character of Segen was pretty random.  I liked her in it, but the chemistry between her and Brad Pitt didn't work well for me.  The story line should have give more information about her.  It didn't make sense why she became Lane's right hand (hahaha if you seen the movie).  I know they were in a crisis together and he saved her life, but I just left the movie feeling like I needed to know more about her character.

The fear that the actors portrayed was well done.  The kids especially performed well.

Zombies move extremely fast in this film.  It was cool how they had them climb each other to get over walls.  That part was in the book.

All in all, I'd recommend it, but definitely not if you think it will be like the book.

Favorite Scene:  Brad Pitt drinking a Pepsi (nice product placement by the way - could you be MORE obvious?)
