Im trying to decide which one is better for me to buy for my ipad, so i decided its best to ask u guys out there for ur expertise These two movies are considered the two major zombie comedies (and practically the only ones?).... Which is one is better u guys think. Most importantly which one is more....."rewatchable"
This debate yet again. Shaun of the Dead because the first half is close to something resembling a satire. It has genuinely clever stabs at British life instead of just relying on the response of "omg Zombies!" like in Zombieland. To be fair, Zombieland has some very funny scenes too, even if its not particularly imaginative. Shame they underused Emma Stone though.
Is it laugh out loud funny? Cus those brits have a more subtle sense of humor lol Its more clever than subtle. You don't have to have some sort of high brow sense of humour to get it.

This topic is common?haha im sorry! I didnt know i just wanna know cus of my personal dilemma

[QUOTE="ms555"][QUOTE="chilly-chill"]The only thing about Zombieland was the double tap thing. dercoo
So im sort of getting the impression zombieland isnt even in the same league as shaun of the dead? I dont understand how it got 90 on rt then lol
You underestimate the amount of British on this board
I guess so, hahaha! I always heard shaun of the dead was a classic. But i also know jesse eisenberg is one of the best young teen actors in hollywood right now. Both scored basically the same with critics so thats why i think i expected the winner to not be so obvious
They both have good things about them. Love the double tap thing in Zombieland along with the whole Twinkie thing is pretty funny and the whole Bill Murray part is funny as hell. Shaun of the Dead also has some great things in it. Love the part when they're throwing everything from the house at the zombie and when they start throwing the records is pretty funny. I say get them both...
Zombieland is great. Personally i thought Shaun of the Dead was lame. The first half is funny, but it quickly becomes your standard "trapped in a building fighting off the zombie hoard and getting picked off one at a time" movie. A lot of the humor disappears towards the end. Zombieland stays funny throughout, and feels less like a standard zombie movie.
both are definitely worth watching imo. both are funny zombie movies, just depends on which youre in the mood for
SotD is much more witty while the humor in ZL is more blunt.
basically british comedy vs american.
also, ZL has a lot more action in it

Somebody just mentioned that shaun of the dead starts strong but sorta wears out in the end. What do you think about that, u think zombieland might be better at being consistently entertaining?

What do you think about that, u think zombieland might be better at being consistently entertaining? yeah, i guess it does. things get more and more hectic towards the end, so some of the wit disappears. it's still funny, just not as funny as the first half. now that I think about it, the same thing happens in ZL. there's not nearly as much comedy towards the end, and there's a lot more action going on instead. I guess I'd say ZL is more entertaining since when it isnt being funny, theres the action to keep you interested. SotD doesnt do that as well
[QUOTE="chilly-chill"][QUOTE="ms555"][QUOTE="chilly-chill"] I want to buy a movie for my ipad. Ur suggestion would mean i pay 5 buys per movie, judge them, and then decide which one to buy. Thats an extra ten bucks! Haha, ontop of the ten i planned on spending

Zombieland was pretty boring I thought. The action wasn't good enough to be entertaining, and I didn't really like their attempts at black humor. The wit in SotD and humorous scenarios made it far more enjoyable, while Zombieland was more of a juvenile coming-of-age story.
