The smartest guy in the movie is the dude that chose to not go to Vegas. At least he’s still alive.
And the dumbest was the daughter who ‘killed' the whole gang
For now
The "company guy" seemed stupid as well. Why would he betray everyone once he got his head? For what reason? It makes no sense.
@@CoolGobyFish exactly bruh, like he got what he wanted
@@CoolGobyFish He was "chief of security" of Tanaka and was as stupid as it gets. Sorry but that's one little unreal thing that didn't work for me. Please make him smarter if he was chief.
Is nobody gonna mention how that one lady literally John Wicked her way out of those horde of sleeping zombies like a badass just to die because her partner was just looking at her instead of helping her the whole time? What a waste. This movie blows.
RIGHT!? NOBODY HELPED! That part was so offensively bad that I stopped watching. What kind of director allows that waste? Think "Aliens". Mind-boggling.
So glad I'm not the only one who's not gonna let that shit slide. I was really getting into it right before that point.
I was like "OH SHIT She's actually gonna survive to break the trope of side character's being fodder and actually reveal the other guy's a douchebag?"
"Oh ok nevermind, fuck me then."
Seriously ! It was badass scenes. Then I started to like her cuz of it , then boom dead too quick
The scene was great. Probably the best scene actually but her character was quite shit with only Kate being worse and it's also pretty stupid that she apparently never had killed a zombie before but you know whatever
I was excited to watch this movie, and the exact moment the daughter said “I’m coming with you”, I instantly realized that the entire movie was going to be ruined by some dumb side-plot involving her. My gut instinct was right.
I called it even before that, with the bus
she was so annoying
Awful movie all round...
I feel this is like the worst take you’ve ever had on a movie. It was so empty sometimes.
The movie feel like 3 films mix into one... And some how the film is still amazing
@@leroyvermilion7708 keep lying to yourself bro
@@TheMoviePromoter Eh?
All of the daughter scenes could have been cut off and given more space to the woman who told Dave's Scott that she wanted to love him, basically. The daugher really felt shallow, forced, and non-important.
100% this. The daughter felt so extra.
Yeah cuz all she did was fuck up and cause others to die
everything in this movie seemed forced, included the fake heist. why not just send Batista to get a zombie head? Why lie to them?
@@CoolGobyFish bro I was thinkin the same thing n if he n team were to ask why would they do that with no insensitive.. THATS when he could’ve mentioned the money in the vault n be like it’s yours all of it if u get me the head.. 🤦♀️ I’m hella surprised Chris even liked this
You know nothing stop
So Katie tagged along because she really didn't wanna adopt Geetas kids. Ofc she fks up the situation even more and still got those kids adopted, with her dad in the grave
AND SURVIVED.. 🤦♀️ who would’ve thought? 😑😒
For me that Geeta didn't even really matter in the end, because first she ain't do a shit to help the dad kill the alpha during the battle in the helicopter and then she dies in the crash.
@@anonym-mu8ps this film feels like master piece and trash at the same time
Yep big eyed Katie survived
From what I understand those kids are also dead because of Katie. I thought the quarantine camp was not cleared to leave and was to be consumed by the nuclear blast. Katie could have focused on sneaking the kids out of the camp instead of insisting on joining the heist.
I love you Chris, been watching you for the last 4 or 5 years, or more. Best movie critic in my mind. But this movie is straight trash.
The action is great and the gore is excellent but the script and the plot is so dumb.
This movie is so bad it almost doesn't even deserve a SPOILER WARNING.
-Like what's up with the robots?
-What was the point of the buzzsaw?
-Why the need to crack the safe if it's Tanaka's safe in the first place, won't he have the code?
-I can't believe that the chick Chambers fought zombies in a hallway for like two entire minutes in front of her entire team and no one tried to help her. Her friend kills multiple zombies with one bullet and he watched her die.
-There has to be an easier way to get a zombie head out of Las Vegas.
-Geeta is the reason Kate went with the team into Las Vegas and then risks her life to rescue her, and then she dies off-screen and Kate doesn't even care. She doesn't even try to find her, doesn't even call her name after the chopper.
This movie is barely a D.
Chris is insane, this movie is a C- being generous
Come on man. It had a zombie tiger
it was fucking trash
Should be a hilariocity review
explain how its a bad movie
@@seanparks558 only if you explain what a nuke is and what happens after you detonate one somewhere. Basic school science.
This movie is loaded with too many dumb and idiotic moments. Like when the chopper returns to pick them up on top the building and they're all just sort of waiting by the chopper, taking their time, smiling at each other as if they've got all ufcking day, meanwhile the whole place is about to get lit by a nuclear blast any minute. It was mutiple stupid scenes like this that pretty much killed it for me.
The most stupid moment too was when the helicopter was heading to save the daughter and the alpha zombie out ran them in his horse!?. Almost as if he teleported there! LOL
Yeah utter rubbish !!!! Awwwfulllll
Dumbest scene, I thought, was when out of nowhere the woman who ran with Dave, who had NO character development, revealed a romantic subplot before getting murdered?? Where did that come from??
Such a crap movie damn lost aloooot of confidence in zack snyder . Fking wasted 2 hours of my life
Lol. Dude I legit was yelling at the screen when they were wasting their effing time
Can we talk about the opening where they had PARADROPS INTO THE ZOMBIES, like why, there was 0 need to paradrop
There was lots of "why" in this movie
@@AhtoNajeebRashied a LOT
Cause it fitted the song with the "shute "
@@AhtoNajeebRashied a LOT
@@AhtoNajeebRashied completely devoid of logic
He has to be trolling us with this review.
As someone who constantly agrees with your take on movies, I am very surprised that you enjoyed this one. This was a husk of a zombie film to me. I feel like much more could've been done with the premise. I was hoping for an over the top, comedic, zombie killing joyride and all I ended up with was a mediocre, forgettable, waste of time.
Thank you 🙏🏼 honestly Idk how he had a good time watching this. I hated this movie.
I mean, i also enjoyed this movie. I turned my brain off and i managed to sit through the entire movie by watching people kick ass zombies, but still i won't shy away from issues. Just because i enjoyed it doesn't mean it's a 10/10 perfect A+ masterpiece of a movie. Not a bad movie but not that great either
@@15Candles I'll never get this justification "I can turn my brain off" - yea, I can do that same thing with a lot of GOOD movies, too. A movie doesn't have to be so bad to achieve this. It's just excusing terrible movies for no good reason.
@@maynardburger I'd rather watch a dumb movie that's very enjoyable than a terrible movie that's so bad it's boring to watch. If you got stuck in a room between this or Fant4stic, of course you would choose Army all the time. Nobody goes to these movies expecting Godfather anyways 😂
Absolutely agree. This was SO disappointing...
After watching it i feel like the opening credits was the movie i wanted to see.
Same
I know right. It could have developed the main characters better too with the whole angle of fighting to take back the city and save people. They just threw it away in 5 minutes. I think there are a lot of issues with this movie too. It's below average for me.
Same
Gee, how many more ppl are going to comment "same" here?
Great contribution. 'merica.
I do agree however. Was super into it in the beginning but after the opening credits was woefully disappointed
@@AhtoNajeebRashied same
I loved how they built a huge barricade with shipping containers to stop them getting out, but then in someones shipping container home, they have a secret door that leads into the zone... protected by 2 PLANKS OF FUCKING WOOD !
Fact 🤣😅 and they left the container open after heading out i guess the zombies really respect other people's territory so they were like nah we can't go in there that's not our territory 🤣😅
This movie legit breaks all it's so-called rules, hate when movies do that
And then when the group enters NO ONE even shuts the doors behind them 🤦🏽♀️
@@bluestonecottage642 exactly
@@lycon.m_yt1771 Yeah i was like arent they going to close it behind them
I remember watching Snyder's Dawn of the Dead. It blew me away, so many twist and turns, shocking moments etc. It definitely was the movie that got me into the whole zombie genre, back in the day.
Now the whole genre is bloated, overused, boring.. zombified you could say (looking at you, TWD), and I really hoped Snyder could revitalize it with the touch he showed in DOTD, but instead he finally killed it off like a bullet to the brain .
he didn't write the Dawn of the Dead remake. James Gunn wrote that movie.
@@badabingbing474 Snyder directed it though.
@@vincer7824 the original post was talking about all the story stuff. Zack directed it but I don't want to imagine if he had wrote that also.
Army of the Dead? 3/10 stars. I've seen better zombie movies from less famous and financed directors. Only stayed because action scenes and CGI were decent. *"I'm not mad at you son, I'm disappointed."*
WTF was the idea behind nobody defending the "Vasquez" (Chambers) character in the beginning? They lost me instantly in that scene. Everybody just stood around and watched her get eaten. TERRIBLE decision. No editors caught that Starbucks cup?
That part pissed me off so bad. I was screaming "fucking help her!" At the screen..lol..they should have at least gave a reason for why they didn't help. Like a quick shot of a bite mark or something but it was assumed that she wasn't bit until a couple of seconds later after they were done having a staring contest
@@ItzMeWill Totally agreed. That's when I started losing interesting in it, and yeah, it's a bad movie.
@@ALROD totally wrong
It was also frustrating to see her not calling out the dude who locked her in the kitchen
happens multiple time throughout the movie, including the zombies waiting around for ‘their turn’ to fight the main characters rather than rush them all at once. it’s just bad choreography.
i disagree almost on everything
Same here, won’t be listening to Chris in the future. Really terrible review of a disappointing movie.
@@bryank427 "I don't like that your opinion is different than my opinion so therefore your opinion is bad"
@@Tyler-ki3we it really comes off like he was paid to put this out. Not sure how he could look past all the poorly written characters and decisions. Too much slo-mo, depth of field…it was a hard watch.
Yeah, this was such a bad film.
i also just made a big-ass comment on how this film is garbage. Glad to see I'm not alone.
you can telll chris judges his reviews on whether he likes the director. this movie was awful
it's like he's trying to defend the laughable notion that Snyder is a 'good' director. It's an insult to all the directors who make interesting film's that get ignored.
I'm glad that no one in the comments agree with stuckman's misleading review.
It's a disaster
I’m getting so tired of seeing comments like these on here. Some fuckin fans you guys are. “Chris is losing his credibility,” “Chris is being a shill for Snyder,” “Chris only reviews movies based on the directors.”
Dude, ITS ONE MOVIE HE LIKED THAT YOU DIDN’T. ONE. Now all of a sudden he’s a shitty reviewer just because he likes a movie no one else does? How does that make sense?
@@superkamiguru7985 I agree with Chris
I can confidently say that Chris either didn't watch the movie, or he was high af.
Yep u r ri8
I agree.... this movie sucked 😂
I think "army of the dead" could possibly be the best Zack Snyder. I can't believe saying this......I loved the concept of only being privy to what the Protagonists know and unstand. Its a style that puts the audience into the storyline, trying to solve the mystery of tje plot with the characters. Instead of knowing the out come and watching it unfold. Is it time travel, multiverse infinite loop, why are their robot zombies infiltrated into zombie society, when did Vanderohe get bit, why didn't he change and how did he walk through radioactive loss Vegas without dieing. Almost all of Zack Syders movies are adaptation of other media. Comic books and classic movies for the most part. It was refreshing to see an original take on a played out genre.
@@twillymantheoneandonly5587 🤦🏼♂️good for you.
@@twillymantheoneandonly5587 I respect your opinion but I honestly didn’t think it even held a candle to his dawn of the dead.
So you're telling me the dude had enough time to sit out the explosion, get out of the vault, walk god knows how far, drive a car to the airport and be airborne without turning? While we have the main character turning just a few minutes after being bitten 🤔
Not to mention that his hand was broken in the fight with the alpha but at the end of the movie it shows his hand is just fine. This movie has way too many plot holes and inconsistencies
@@nathanrakhman7176 completely agree there. I mean i appreciate that they added some cool easter eggs like those cyborg zombies, but there's just too many plot holes and inconsistencies.
No ones gonna talk about the fact he probably would’ve gotten cancer later on from radiation exposure?
Not only that, in the opening before the zombies get to Vegas, the two army dudes it shows turning become zombies in literal seconds. It's literally the script needs this to happen so it does.
No one has a problem with the fact that the explosion likely would have made jam out of his internals?
Kate was the real villain in this movie. Almost everyone’s death can be linked to her. The woman she risked everyone’s life to save........ended up dying.
Kate was the one who survived, she’s a good villain, she killed the protagonist which is her dad, all those thing they did was in vain because of her stupidity those mothers she had to recur, well she didn’t bring any back
Yeah, that almost ruined the movie for me. She was so annoying at the end. It reall pissed me off.
100% soo bad sooo awful, what a joke of a movie hahaha
Lol it ain’t that deep bro
yeah the movie was TRASH
Yeah Kate was the absolute worst.
Spot on with Bautista, I thought he gave a really riveting and emotional performance. There's a scene in the 3rd act, where a character is unexpectedly killed right in front of him and you get this expression of absolute shock, confusion and hurt that made you really feel for his character.
Also, holy crap, I never have been so happy to see a zombified tiger maul and much on a human antagonist character in a movie. It's one of those scenes you just wanna cheer.
After watching the movie and Chris' review, I thought I had lost my mind cuz things didn't add up.. I usually agree with his ratings but having seen his review first, my expectations were heightened and I was so disappointed with this movie. I actually felt like walking out of the theater and I don't remember hating a zombie movie ever! Even the bad ones have something to enjoy but I did not know what this was, to put it nicely. I came back to read the comments on his review and was relieved most had the same reaction.
Tbh I really enjoyed it. It was a bit longer than I'd like but I liked it. Sorry you didn't enjoy it
Katie's stupidity got most of the crew killed, including her own father. And to add insult to injury, the person she was trying to save (the reason everybody got killed) ends up dying anyway. So it was literally ALL FOR NOTHING.
That’s what I said to my brother after the movie was over, I was just like, so the entire movie was pointless.
That’s Vegas
Character motivations? Logical stakes? ZoMbIE TiGeRs & iRoNiC mUsIc. I can't believe Chris liked this.
That's the point. You go to Las Vegas expecting to become rich and you lose everything.
And also, if we take it as a "place of sin", specially by the mention of the tower with the Gomorrah name, we get why she is the only one to survive. She was the only one that went there with good intentions.
@@Vesohag yep just like dawn of the dead. People don't get it
There's 20 min until a nuke drops, but let's stop and talk about our feelings that we never acted on 🙄 that pulled me out of the movie big time.
But the twist was great amirite?
I agree, there are so many scenes where they stop to joke around or just to stand there and smile at each other while knowing they are 10 minutes away from possible death.
@@HejLala 😂😂💀 hell of a twist
Or lets go steal 200 million, but give 75% to a guy that done nothing.
@@johnukoko3988 The guy gave them the blueprint of the vault. Mission cannot accomplish without that important piece of information.
Christ I know the standard has maybe dropped due to covid but there’s no way this can be a B c’mon
This movie is atrocious in almost every way, the characters, writing, pacing, cinematography. I’m a long time viewer of Chris but reviews like this are really unforgivable. You cant call yourself a legitimate film critic and endorse this dumpster fire of a movie. Very disappointed in this review
Completely agree just finished watching and I don’t know how anyone thought this was a decent movie
Well said.
he's a snider fan boi .
and Netflix films are trash as always
Preach!
You're entitled to your opinion. However, just because he enjoyed the movie that doesn't make it a bad review. He's also entitled to his opinion, and he is no less of a film critic for having it. Just... don't be an ass.
The lady that absolutely deleted those sleeping zombies, nearly escaped but then got caught did something stupid which cost the whole team;
She said "Run!" (Something obvious) instead of like "He's a traitor!" or "Martin did this" or anything to let the team know that the guy there walking with was the one who caused her death.
There are so many scenes like this in the film, had me pulling my hair out
She could have been saved she was like 10 ft away with like 3 zombies around her
What a frustrating movie. Takes place in a universe without common sense
@@10101tomtom Zack Snyder can have good ideas but somehow fucks them up. 300 not included.
yep. we lol'ed so hard at that moment.
The Kate character upset me so much every time she came on screen I looked away they should’ve went with a different plot
honestly I liked her. Her character is foolish and the way she walks in the zombie area makes you want to tear your hair apart. But her character was the best developed and she had looks and the acting skill.
@@brajeshsingh2391 HAHAHAHAHA! Wait! You serious?
@@michaeldesignbig2538 I thought the actress playing her did a good job. And the character was not badly written. But overall the movie had a poor screenplay. As I mentioned she enters a zombie infested area without protective clothing or gear, runs away from the group to find her friend. Not very intelligent or thrilling. When the flaws start becoming obvious as you are watching a movie its not good.
@@brajeshsingh2391 You can remove her and the Japanese character (i really like Hiroyuki Sanada as an actor) completely from the movie and it would have been an improvement, just a bunch of guys grinding life that decide to rob a casino and doesn't go as planned, I found the daughter character really forced and only there due to Snyders issues. Also, if you really want a daughter there, at least cast someone who resembles the character she's related to she had distractingly massive eyes, i dont think i ever saw Bautistas eyes 😂 although he might been her stepdad i don't know, my brain was hurting watching this film
@@michaeldesignbig2538 the characters were not forced but there is lack of seriousness and intelligence. I think the reason is primarily that makers did not want this movie to be a copy of train to Busan. And the sub plots are many. What I would have done is probably done some narrative like a TV anchor telling the back story of Zombie invasion in Vegas as the opening scene is played. and then a discussion on the governments plan to nuke them. I would take that whole intro scene of Zombie getting away. Then I would go to Tanaka who is watching the program and has zeroed on Batistuta. Then I would go to Batistuta who is quarrelling with his daughter who then just walks away. Enter Tanaka who tells him he can make 200 million. Then Batistuta goes and discuss the plan with his girlfriend and then they recruit the team. I would make discussions and recruitment more serious and more dense. Like they discuss the helicopter guy, the Mexican Street gang, and the safe cracker. I would make the recruitment process a little more complicated with some guys not agreeing and Batistuta convincing them. Simultaneously the sub plot of Kate and Geeta and the blonde lady goes on.
Then as Batistuta and his girlfriend are discussing how they enter Kate walks in. Realizing that they are going in she manages to convince them to take her by telling them she knows somebody that can get them in. Enter the blonde lady in the team.
Finally all set they meet at Tanaka's where the final plan is set. The plan there reveals about the conditions, and the alpha zombies. There Tanaka introduces his henchman. Tanaka jokingly tells them if they can catch a alphas zombie and bring him alive. As they are about to leave they are caught by the pervert guard. They lure him in by talking about the money.
Finally they get in and begin the path. They some how make a mistake or something goes wrong and attract a horde of Zombies. That's where the blonde lady suddenly throws the guard as bait as he had misbehaved with her by touching her inappropriately during the entry.
As the horde enters we have the firs casualty as the Mexican lady who is tricked by Tanaka's henchman.
Then fighting through they enter the casino. There the team breaks up. The Black Guy and safecracker and Tanaka's henchman stay to break the safe. The other half go to find the Indian lady. Then the safe cracking procedure is shown. Make it complicated. Show the guy entering the numbers and vault lock opening. Make the scene tense and dramatic. The 2 teams are discussing their movements on walkie talkie. As he opens the safe the black guy and safecracker are double crossed. A fight ensures which attracts the Zombies. Tanaka's henchman there manages to get head of the queen. But Zombies kills the safecracker and he locks the black guy in the vault.
On the other hand the second team has its adventures and save the Indian lady. The Mexican guy dies a selfless death protecting the ladies. Then Batistuta tells the helicopter pilot to go find the helicopter as he cannot contact the other team. And meet him at the vaults location. There they run into Tanaka's henchman who tells them cooked up story. Somehow they get to know he is lying. A confrontation follows involving the zombies , Tanaka's henchman has head eaten up by the tiger and Batistuta loses his girlfriend. You can also give Kate some action. There finally the team somehow comes to know that the nuke will be in less than an hour. Unable to contact the pilot as she has no walkie talkie or radio as the Americans call they rush to go the helicopter pad. Picking up hench man's bag and the money that he had taken. Meanwhile the blonde lady and helicopter lady are fighting their way through and reach the helicopter. As she is able to get the helicopter the king attacks them. Then Batistuta reaches in nick of time and final fight occurs where the blonde lady is killed and the king jumps into the helicopter. Thereafter its pretty much what's in the movie. Also the acting had to better and more emotional. The interactions could use much tighter dialogues.
How's this for a story. It has everybody. you get the kills. Everybody dies a hero. And the sub plots are also played. I now demand Netflix pays me 5 million for rewriting the screenplay of Army of Dead. Ok not 5 millions as it is copied but I get 250000 what the safecracker was promised.
I think I understand Chris' point of view. I agree the movie had a number of logical issues. But Chris mentioned that he enjoyed it because it was a movie where you did not need to feel like it is realistic or anything. And the movie was fun in the regards of showing zombies being shot and the whole zombie lore. Definitely could have been better with some more thought put in the writing.
The annoying characters kinda took out the fun of the film lol,
I can’t believe people went to see this in theaters, I couldn’t finish it at home at my own couch. It’s so bad even for Netflix movie that it makes Old Guard look decent in comparison
Dave Bautista gets bitten and few mins later he turns zombie. Omari gets bitten, has time to wait out the nuclear blast, walks to a car, drives to an airport, gets on the plane, only when they are about to land does he start to turn. And when tf does this dude get bitten.
This films was a massive face palm
Stop you just made me LOL. 😁
Dude you forgot that he is somehow immune to radiation.
Lol
Exactly! The alpha zombie! never bit him! nor did we see any shambler come anywhere close to him. This film is hillariously bad! And how TF did he escape the fucking vault?!
The movie left me disappointed.
Chris's grade/score was surprising.
Yea this movie did suck - there was nothing 'feel good' about it but I am guessing not hearing talking during the movie kept him smiling throughout and he forgot to do his job.
@@StraightShooter01 or maybe the fact that he has a different opinion
@@StraightShooter01 is just opinions.
After watching this movie I had to go and check out some reviews for it due to how much I hated it, because... wow, there was so much about it I just really disliked and I just needed to know if I was being too hard on it. This is the first review I've ever seen from this guy, does he do paid reviews? Like, is it possible Netflix paid him to review this -- like how video game journalists are given advanced copies of games and some payment to review games? I am just honestly having a hard time believing that anyone could enjoy this movie in a critical sense. The only people I can really imagine giving it a 'B' are people that just REALLY don't give a crap about anything apart from zombie violence.
@@Wiskerthefif
If it had been a different director, Chris would not have been given the movie a B.
Aka Stuckman sets his reputation on fire with one review
Exactly what I was thinking. Just lost all credibility as a movie critic.
It's not really the first time...there's been some questionable reviews.
"Just in the theatre, there was only like five people there" sounds about right considering this movie.
This felt like a zombie B-movie with a large Hollywood studio budget. Snyder’s Dawn of the Dead remake was a much better movie with well defined characters and engaging storytelling
agreed. you would not think the 2 films had the same director
So true
That’s because the story was already written by a superior writer (Romero). This is an original idea Zach tried to create and exposed his inabilities as a writer. When he has a source material his directing abilities shine. 300, Watchmen, Justice League and Dawn of the Dead.
@@enachioken now that you say that then you might have a good point. Although I'm going to watch his zombie universe to see if it gets better.
"No no. It's a masterpiece. It's not for dumb people. Zombies character development is very deep."
Army of the Dead was a huge missed opportunity IMO. Cliches all over the place and characters that made the dumbest choices on film. The movies focused on the less cool aspects of the heist and zombies. So Why not just show us the zombie wars, and or the fall of Vegas?
why is it even called Army of The Dead? I didn't see an army
@@CoolGobyFish right?! click bait title
@@CoolGobyFish the zombies led by Zeus and the queen are the army
@@tydune2631 This.
Yeah, this movie had a great premise; a Dirty Dozen style heist movie where a ragtag team loot the vault of a Las Vegas casino during a zombie apocalypse... but it just fell flat. The characters were all one note, boring and difficult to tell apart, too much forced sentimentality that just didn't work, too derivative of other movies (especially Aliens) and a _waaaaaaaaaay_ too bloated runtime.
There were so many setups with no payoffs in this film. The whole thing was a complete disappointment from start to finish.
I guarantee if you rewatch this movie without the thrill of being in the theater again, your grade will drop heavily. There's so many plot holes and by-the-number setups. It's even worse in hindsight when you realize the "twists" make the entire movie pointless. If all they needed was a head, the movie is 10 minutes long.
When I started to really see Dave Bautista as more than just drax was in blade runner.
The guy is just great imo.
"You newer models are happy scraping the shit... because you've never seen a miracle." This line gets me everytime.
Can't wait to see him in Dune
Bautista was really good in Heist (2015)
I haven't seen Army of the Deaf yet but I always thought Bautista (when playing a badass) would be better off as a "Do-er not a Talk-er" in movies, which he seems to be here. He's scary af but in his earlier roles he spoke too much and it ruined how intimidating he is!! Don't TELL me you're gna twist my head off... just do it ffs!
@@phatnana2379 nobodys heard of army of the deaf.... or is it noone in the army of the deaf hears anyone?
Before scott enter the helicopter, he just smiled there for almost a minute or two then the alpha zues zombie came after them. Why didn't they just hop in the helicopter, then add a scene where they can bond.
Yea that was pretty messed up. Even without the zombie there still was a nuke dropping lol.
Yoooo that shit had me PISSSED and yelling at the screen
@@jasmineclark6413 sameeee
Yeah...like there were so many scenesthat tookme completely out of the movie..like how did they plan in getting to the casino....they didn't know the zombies would just let them go....so what was their plan??? Go in shooting millions of zombies??
Because zacksnyder
Chris…there’s no way we watched the same movie, this was a big letdown 💀
Or maybe you both watched the same movie and he liked it and you didn't?
The film should start with a disclaimer saying that no one in this movie universe has common Sense.
That's how I felt seeing "Nobody" a couple weeks ago. The snacks and drinks in the big dark room again was just a great feeling and made the movie even better.
Absolutely.... nobody was amazing....and I'm guessing that about AOTD too...its a snyder film...wat can we expect...except for excellence
@Scott Sieg what?
@Scott Sieg I think he means you can always have a fun time Snyder movies cause that's true
@Scott Sieg you must be fun at parties
I kinda prefer my home theater setup to the traditional theater can't vape Josey Wales in a movie theater
Wow i totally though Chris would rip this shitty movie to shreds. Must've been blinded by the fact that he was actually in a theatre again.
Exactly what I thought. Stuckman was too pleased with cinema-going again and turned his brain off. Hopefully it’s out of his system now... I really wanted him to fucking rip this movie particularly the constant lens flare and annoying camera focus.
RIGHT! I never watched a movie so bad. It made me angry.
He got paid to speak good about the movie
Chris Shill Stuckman. B lol, more like F
or he was paid to say it was good
Loved Snyder’s Dawn of the Dead but I don’t agree with this review. I had to go and watch Castlevania season 3 and 4 to restore my faith in Netflix. I had an in depth argument but I won’t take the time. I will just say; Most of the good stuff we saw in the trailers were in the opening credits and in a character’s brief fantasy. Lazy writing and too many inconsistencies.
it looks like DAVE BAUTISTA is holding in a sneeze the entire movie
I feel like this rating is mostly about the cinema experience not the movie itself
I was just thinking that
Facts that’s literally all he talks about
I think Chris didn't even watch the movie
Fo sho, when he said batista showed his range, he lost me.

Chambers: says shes never killed a zombie
Also Chambers: goes hamm on them in the kitchen
Holy crap.. there she is! She got out! Let's just..like...stare at her or something.. no need to help her. She got this
I felt a surprising amount of tension when they were starting to wake and she kept stabbing them in the neck and bringing them down. really good buildup there
@@josiahteng6906 we all figured that she was gonna die. With that being said, imagine if they pulled a twist and she actually survived all of that. It would've been a badass "o shit" moment
@@ItzMeWill it would have made the movie so much better. Cause she was way more badass then the rest of the cast lol
@@ItzMeWill Worst thing is she did survive, and then nobody tried to save her.
That out of focus effect is from the 60's Canon Rangefinder lens he used called the "dream lens". It has a 0.95 max aperture which is CRAZY... that is super fast.
Hey Chris this is the first review that is totally off. I'm not a person that hates mindless movies. But this one was beyond all that. Literally nothing makes sense in the movie. You might as well throw in random sequences of zombie fights instead of trying to convince me with the story.
I met bautista a few years back and he was so cool. Even had a conversation with us for a good 20ish minutes. Really nice dude.
He really does always have the best shirts.
Yeah i was like da fuck thats a cool shirt
He really do, I’ll be staring at his shirt in most of his reviews, his smash one from his Tom & Jerry review was amazing
My favorite one was “You’re Tearing Us Apart Parker!”
We demand a Chris Stuckmann shirt collection video!
yes he does
As on old wrestling fan it is so good to hear Bautista getting recognized for his acting. He has amazing facials. Subtlety. So happy for him
I enjoyed the film. I didn’t need to think too deeply, and it was a fun action movie. The daughter really brought the whole thing down for me. Her motivations were really stupid and shallow. I actually liked the ending, but it didn’t feel natural. It felt like she had inserted herself into the course of the film and that was the outcome.
Yeah I agree especially at the last min she then decided to go save her one friend which ironically ended up dead after😕
This movie was a major let down. This is the first time I've ever disagreed with one of your reviews this much. The script was just awful for this movie.
The fact that this isn't in your Hilariocity series is surprising to me. Are people being swayed by being in theatres?
The movie was good doesn’t deserve to be in his hilariocity series because the movie to be put simply is not bad
Just a good movie
Idk if its deserving of a "hilariocity" vid. It doesn't come close to The Room, or Catwoman. But I agree its not a great movie. It has its flaws but, from my experience I enjoyed it. Probably won't watch it again due to how slow the pacing is.
Thank god someone finally said it
@@TheMoviePromoter
It's not good.
I was born in 87 & my 2nd favorite ever zombie movie is Dawn of the Dead (2004). Thanks for reminding me he did that too, before Watchmen & DC & all that
I think he used soft focus so much as to try to seamlessly blend in Tig’s green screened’ness
I'm usually in total agreeance with Chris but I did not like this movie nearly as much as he did. This movie has more in common with some of Resident Evil flicks than the 2004 Dawn of the Dead.
More like Ocean's 11 + Aliens + I am Legend combined = this movie.
Imma never trust his reviews anymore. This movie was no near to B more like E or F.
Seriously. This movie was dogshit. I'm starting to trust Chris's opinions less and less. He used to actually have a good sense for good cinema but the fact that he gave this high praise is baffling. This is one of the worst movies of the year.
Totally agree dude but i guess he needs to pay his bills too. This is like the time he said The Last Jedi was a Masterpiece lol
@@anilbalasuriyamedia He's gonna lose subs, views, and money if he keeps recommending garbage. The whole point of watching his reviews is too get an actual gauge on what I can expect from the movie. This review was just full of lies.
The head twisting death scene honestly made me laugh out loud because it felt so out of place to happen the way it did and also preventable, like a lot of deaths in this movie
absolutely bad character development. The whole sleeping zombie fight chick got wasted especially after fooling us and she barrels through a window i though for sure she would stay to the end. Instead she gets killed in an dumb way because her useless partner who had ZERO development and wasn't needed.
The corny betryal of the characters and unrealistic decision making all while not being under any influence makes the roles hard to believe given the circumstances.
6/10
@@blessethishe i also wasn’t a big fan of all the off screen deaths. Dieter I thought was maybe left out because he was made to be one of the most likable. The “coyote” i thought could have been bitten by Zeus to replace the queen but I think she was just executed. Meanwhile the pointless side mission of rescuing Geeta which proves moronic ends with Geeta disappearing from the movie in the end, leaving us to assume she perished in the crash without bothering to show or tell us.
@@ty6633 I really hate Kate for that she literally kills 3 or more if you think hard to save someone who fucking dies in the end dumb as hell
@@koiafterwakeaname8991 She doesn't even go to Geeta to check up on her after the helicopter crash? She checks on the pilot lady and then goes straight to her Dad. We just never see her again although all her efford was to save her.
That off was shining cuz I thought she was gonna live
Not sure I've ever disagreed more with Chris on a film. (Usually we're in lock-step.) I found the film boring and derivative and, as a Las Vegas resident, was really disappointed with how the city was utilized outside of the cool opening credits.
Chris are you serious with this review? The movie is terrible. Like, seriously awful.
First 10 minutes were ok.
All downhill from there. This movie looked like it was filmed completely on a green screen, was overlong, unfunny, and had a terrible ending.
But the CGI was good enough for me.
I thought the movie was extremely overrated. I gave it a C, due to it being so predictable and the fact that Kate did not die but everyone else did was not satisfying at all. How the least equipped person, who put the rest in danger, ends up surviving is just dumb in my opinion. And how the one chick died after escaping the building was sooo dumb as well. Everyone just watched as she died, they could have easily helped her escape
When Zombie started playing, I rolled my eyes out of existance
A random woman is important to save, except if she gets on a helicopter, then we don't even have to see if she survives or not.
This movie had me begging for a 2x speed on Netflix
Lmao
I disagree with you recommending this movie if you like Snyder's Dawn of the Dead. I loved Dawn of the Dead and this movie was an absolute let down. I will never watch it again and I've watched DotD dozens of times.
@Mr. Grumpy That's your opinion.
@Mr. Grumpy stop trolling. No way better than dotd
@@FUNNYMANERICWHITE Yeah, his trolling was pretty obvious. That's why I replied with something that added zero fuel to it lol
@Mr. Grumpy liking your own replies says it all, bud
@Mr. Grumpy English better next time
"He just let's it stay soft the whole time." I wish this were the first time I had heard this sentence.
That Netflix check making some reviewers turn a blind eye 👁️😬
This is where I want zack snyder working on his future projects, no studio micromanaging his projects and total creative freedom to do what's he's passionate about.
But there's a negative side to that sometimes directors need to be held back .
@@Anthonycheesman33 Yeah.. Superman going injustice isn't compelling so yeah I agree
Just let Zack do his own stuff; I love his auteur vision, but not on other people's IP
Wrestling Anime 4life yes it is, just bcuz its not ur cup of tea doesnt mean that it wasnt compelling. Some of us LOVED it
@@wrestlinganime4life288 I honestly loved it and it was what I wanted to see happen in the DCEU.
I was always sort of whatever about Batista as a wrestler, but I've loved him as an actor. I'm really happy that he's found so much success.
Unfortunately I really started enjoying him as a wrestler right as he was hanging it up (for his first run) douchey Batista was great.
Batista is a Better actor than The Rock And Cena.
@@leadsin99er I can’t argue with that.
I am too especially since the first film I saw of his was Wrong Side of Town to see hiw his acting skills have progressed is amazing
Batista was a good wrestler.
Chris forgot to mention he also got stoned while watching this.
There. Now you undestand
If a billionaire wants a live zombie head for himself, he won't just send a few hunters with a net to retrieve the first zombie they encounter, he will send an entire oblivious team with a mole in it, with a bank heist cover, and hope his mole can come through, because that's more fun, and the first option is too simple.
I can’t trust your reviews anymore. I truly do not believe you enjoyed this film. No way.
No fucking way. It stunk
i'm with you on that one
Yeah agreed the review was totally misleading. This should be a hilariocity review!
Stuckman didn't watch the movie.
Well it's his opinion tho, everyone have opinion on the movies tho. If Stuckmann said he liked it and he enjoyed watching the movie, fine then it's his opinion and thoughts on the movie, there's nothing wrong with that
Synopsis be like : Scorpion sent a Wrestler into a Zombie infested town.
Your comment matches your profile pic
"The Apocalypse was caused because of someone giving head"
Ah that's so clever 😑
That's why he looked so familiar! Thanks.
😂😂😂😂
I used to listen to your reviews. But after this nah. You were never jolted by the stupidity of the characters and nonsensical plot? Not jarred by the ton of ideas jammed in that never played out? Or the I Am Legend rip off about smarter creatures that love each other that fell so flat here?
Where can I get that shirt?!?!?!
This is the most milk toast take. I can understand liking a movie but overlooking the countless flaws seems ingenious af, especially when it blantanty copies and pastes scenes and lines from much better movies
Chris stuckmann is milk toast
Do you have any movie recommendations like these type of movie but not horribly executed?
@@gris2499 probably the movies its trying to imitate: aliens, a mix of zombieland and oceans eleven, Shaun of the dead and dawn of the dead. All amazing movies in their own rights.
Yeah this, when the safe opens and triumphant classical music starts playing - that's Die Hard. When the helicopter seemingly abandons them only to come back - that's Aliens. There was good gore and stylistic action sequences but those are the only good things about the film
@@gris2499 stylish zombie movie with great actions? Try Train to Busan, REC, or even Snyder's Dawn of The Dead. If you want some comedy streak check Shaun of The Dead, Zombieland, or Dead Alive (Braindead)
THIS WAS LITERALLY WORSE THEN LAND OF THE DEAD
Land of the dead was bad?
This movie is atrocious
@@enachioken I liked it the zombies look real
Yoooo go watch my army of the dead review
How does this video have so many likes but the majority (and most liked) comments are all stating they disliked the movie. Was it bots?
Zack Snyder isn't at all that kind of "misunderstood director" as some use to say, or like u said when reviewing his director's cut of Justice League. I know that industry most of the times doesn't give freedom to their directors, but directors can't rely on that excuse everytime the result is bad. He is a director that fortunately happened to have made a couple of remarkable movies responsible for his breakthrough (like Dawn Of The Dead and 300) so his career isn't entirely a waste until now. I do understand why people like bad movies, the same way I do understand why people like Snyder's, or Bay's or W.S. Anderson's movies. But when you say you had a "blast" watching something like Army Of Dead, sorry... but I can't think about anything else than that you must have been watching a lot of crap lately. If someone else says that... someone that does not watch movies as much as you or me, yeah, it's okay saying that. But that's not the case. Doesn't matter how much I tried to ignore the problems, but this movie is the worst ever of its genre. The curious thing about it is that Snyder had entire control this time, and the result is as terrible as those ones he blamed studios for the bad ratings. So in his case, the problem isn't studios after all.
The film was bad. Snyder missed his own target, which was to make a Fun, Dumb, low brow zombie action film. It wasnt even "its sooo bad, its actually good. He duped Bautista and us into believing it had an emotional core. He remade 'Aliens' but with zombies. The Oceans eleven aspect also failed. The film was cringe.
It's beginning to sound like this is one of those movies that the "hip" kids have decided it's cool to hate. Oh well, I loved it.
@@BRUCEJJ66 ooo look at you edgy contrarian, feel free to never recommend anything for me, ok?
BRUCEJJ66 it’s a cliched mess that stole ideas from better movies. If you liked this watch Alien and it’s sequel because this movie stole the premise from them
@@BRUCEJJ66 lol hip kid? The movie was a dumpster fire of dialogue, characters and illogically retarded decisions all around. The daughter deserved to be Zombie food.
@@eliasgibson4743 it doesn't matter if the movie was cliched or unoriginal, the movie was bad because it was executed so badly with a very bad writing and a lot of dumb moments. It's like Zack deliberately made the movie bad just to piss everyone off.
This review is basically "I had so much fun because I missed theaters for over a year now, so I give it a B"
I believe him that this was fun on the big screen, but watching this movie at home, it was pretty lame and stupid. One of Snyder's worst movies. A ton of plot holes and unlikable characters (the daughter is the worst I've seen in a long time) with stupid decisions.
Was somewhere around 4/10 or 5/10 for me.
THANK YOU!
I saw it in a theater and it was awful there, made it worse because I had to pay 12 dollars for it plus soda and candy, and I regretted going after the fist hour in the film, complete waste of time.
@JustBoredBruh nobody takes a zombie movie seriously. But with this one, the writing was so bad the characters make so many dumb and stupid decisions, there was hardly any room for entertainment. The worst zombie movie I've seen so far...there were just so many inconsistencies, so many plot holes, so many dumb moments, and the one character who we are supposed to root for was the most unlikable character in the movie.
This!!! ^^^
@JustBoredBruh this movie wasn't the fun dumb type of B-movie
Army of Thieves was also a badass prequel. Dieter is honestly my favorite character. Hopefully he’s not dead.
Did anyone else notice the music from the vault scene was from Excalibur?
it’s funny that people talk about the intro as if it’s something revolutionary, when Zombieland did it first and did it better over a decade ago. the characters were not well written, they do things and say things that real people wouldn’t say, the cgi is bad, the plot is shallow and long winded. people are obviously allowed to like this, but there are zombie movies done a decade or two ago that does everything this movie does but better.
The opening credits to Watchmen are the best I've ever seen. Movie could've ended right there and I would've been cool with it.
That was a good movie. Opening credits bored me though.
Those opening credits are easily among the best scenes Snyder has ever crafted.
A little on the nose, but definitely the best part of the movie, which is sad.
@@WhirlingMusic Nah snyder always has the best opening credits. His watchmen one was top notch if u actually like the comics, from the choice of music to the cinematography everything looked like a comic book
The one he ripped off from the comic shot for shot? Maybe give that credit to Dave Gibbons, the original artist. That movie should have never been made. It misses the whole point of what the story is about and what made it great. He took an epic revered comic, ripped the actual story out, and turned it into a shallow super hero movie that relies purely on it's visuals.
His daft punk t-shirt took my whole attention
Oh wow the daughter became headshot master at the end and apparently invincible. She wasn’t the only thing that ruined the movie but probably the biggest.
yeh lmao! she can consistently hit the alphas head but not get him in the eye where it'd actually kill him.
I'm actually impressed Chris gave this movie a B. Did he watch the same thing I did earlier today? This movie was so cliched. It was garbage, imo. The action scenes are cool, though. But that's it.
What was is
It 20 mins of actions and 2hrs 10mins of bulllshit. Fucking snorefest.
Probably Chris just enjoyed his popcorn
Maybe it's just his opinion?
@@codzab084 Yeah but this just doesn’t sound like Chris. The review is too short and it sounds too forced. I think he was paid off😂
@@Perro-nv4jq If you want to be cynical about it, you can say he gave it a positive review so he found avoid the backlash. I don't believe that though
This and Blade Runner made me a legit Dave Batista fan. I sincerely hope the guy has a deep and meaningful film career. He deserves it.
Hotel Artemis has him in a good role.
He'll be in DUNE as well very soon
@@richbuxo F*ck yeah
Lol he has no range and he’s proving that in this movie
@@idrinkmilk282 he was pretty good. emotional range cant work with a guy that he is fully botoxed. face doesnt help.
I'm surprised by the B rating... I give it a barley passing D. And it still seems too generous. I haven't felt this gypped by a movie since Bill n Ted Face the Music.
The whole set-up never got a payoff.
This is the only movie review I don’t agree with. I didn’t really engage with any of the characters. The scripting was really cheesy and the movie contradicted itself many times. The conflict between Bautista and his daughter made no sense to me.
Yeh im the same and there were so many scenes that just left you scratching your head and asking why?? Like why did they just leave that john wick girl too die as they just stood there... and how is a zombie faster than a chopper 😑 there's literally 50 of these sort of questions
That movie is a disaster. Zero story, zero substance, zero EVERYTHING. Just pure action, dumb dialogues and HEHE HAHA corny jokes, exactly for the target audience: kids and people who just like to get drunk and watch another meaningless movie.
So it's a Zack Snyder movie.
Most accurate comment yet!!
I'm none pf those and I still liked this movie
@@PhantomGardener maybe you just have a bad taste lol I started skipping forward after 40 mins in. Didn't care about any of the characters they are just dumb. Reminded me of Zombieland but it at least was a decent comedy
@@MishaElRusito ehh fun is relative. But then again, if someone actually ENJOYED this movie their standards must be really low LMAO
You probably didn’t notice another kind of zombies: the cyberdemon ones from Doom game. Like they are not demons here in AOTD but are cybernetically enhanced zombies
How much for good reviews, Chris?
