Random quote: "As long as I'm dealing in honesty, I may as well admit that I have been more influenced (as a person) by my childhood readings of Tolkien and Lewis than I have been by any philosophers I read in college and grad school. The events and characters in Narnia and Middle Earth shaped my ideals, my dreams, my goals. Kant just annoyed me." - N.D. Wilson

Location: Middle TN, USA		I just got back from seeing "World War Z", and I must say I was pleasantly suprised by the movie. I was prepared to be mad
and and sadden by this movie I have been waiting over 2 years to see. Was it Max Brooks' vision of zombies, well no. But it was a damn good zombie movie. I was able to point to several parts of the movie that were taken from the book. Notably the discussion of how Israel survived the zombies and how they were able to wall up their country so fast.
Now a lot has been made about the "Fast Zombies" in the is movie, and yes it does go against Max Brooks vision of how Zombies move. Mr. Brooks makes it quite clear that zombies move in the shuffling, slow moving manner know to zombifiles as "Ramero Type". FYI fast moving zombies became known as "28 Days Later Zombies", even though those were not zombies in the movie, but were rage infected virus suffers. But I digress.
Even though this was not really an accurate portrayal of Max Brooks vision. I still feel the movie was excellent as it was. I would recommend it zombie fans.
What was your thoughts on the film?

Location: Oslo, Norway		Yes, i agree. Book is good, movie is fun. But i do feel that if the movie had another name, i would not recognize it as an adaptation, there are so many fundamental changes to the movie, like sprinting zombies. It changes the dynamics of the whole zombie apocalypse.
