Army Of The Dead Twitter Reactions Are In
The first opinions about Zack Synder's zombie action movie have been revealed.
Army of the Dead is Zack Synder's latest movie, and it hits Netflix on May 15. It's a zombie action thriller that focuses on a group of mercenaries who are hired to enter zombie-infested Las Vegas to steal thousands of dollars from a casino vault.
Official reviews of Army of the Dead arrive tomorrow, but ahead of that, critics have started posted their reactions on Twitter. So far the response is extremely positive, with the action, cast, and sense of humor all coming in for praise. Some critics state that movie doesn't sustain the fun for the entire movie, on the whole, initial reactions suggest this is one that horror and action fans will want to watch. Check out some of the reactions below.
Army of The Dead is a violent, gory, and bloody blast. Zack Snyder’s latest is a ridiculously fun and over the top genre bending zombie film. While the entire cast is great, Matthias Schweighöfer steals every scene. Oh, and the opening credits are absolutely epic. #ArmyoftheDead pic.twitter.com/6Seg3l1AFG

Army of the Dead: Zack Snyder is having an absolute blast, delivering a jaw dropping/jaw-removing) amount of slo-mo bloodshed. The gore and mayhem on display is lovingly captured and, more importantly, gleefully faceted within the film. #ArmyOfTheDead

#ArmyOfTheDead’s opening credits sequence is delicious, pure camp. While the rest of the film doesn’t sustain that tone (& meanders), there are lots of wild, deftly executed concepts & scenes centered on the heist. Even more audacious is there’s an unexpected infusion of heart. pic.twitter.com/TPGFC2nG2I

All I’ll say about Army of the Dead for now is that Zack Snyder should direct more zombie movies. Full review tomorrow.

Army of the Dead is a whole lot of fun. I'm genuinely excited to see more about a certain group of zombies in the future. Lots of gory, undead fun. Also, Tig Notaro is the BEST! #ArmyoftheDead pic.twitter.com/cxgGm4PBSW

#ArmyOfTheDead is bloody fun! Has great zombie action, character banter & killer music. Also, quite funny. Loved the world created by @ZackSnyder & that every character has a moment to shine. His style matches perfectly with the zombie genre. Opening credits are 🔥#ZombieVerse pic.twitter.com/vhbaKjX8KV

I found myself wanting more from #ArmyOfTheDead overall. It's well cast and often funny. But despite blending the heist/zombie genres, there's not much newness added to either. One or two fresh setpieces amid familiar blood n gore, but outside of that, you've seen it more or less pic.twitter.com/u4Bd0Ra5Ap

Army of the Dead stars Dave Bautista, lla Purnell, Ana de la Reguera, Garret Dillahunt, Omari Hardwick, Theo Rossi, and Tig Notaro. It's directed and co-written by Snyder. The movie will also play in over 600 theaters ahead of its Netflix release later this week.
In related news, Bautista has stated that next year's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will be his final appearance as Drax. "I've got Guardians 3, and that's probably going to be the end of Drax," he said.
