This is a formula movie by Rodriguez - it's El Mariachi with zombies. The all star cast does nothing to bring this movie up to standard at all. The talents of Josh Brolin, Jeff Fahey, Bruce Willis are thrown away. What were they thinking? Being a great fan of George Romero's excellent "Dead" movies, I was just expecting more considering the hype around best buddies Rodriquez/Tarantino. If there was ever an overrated pairing! How did they get anyone to pay up money for this? This is just a series of tired pastiches. OK, maybe that was what was intended but honestly, all this was done so much better and great effect in Shaun of the Dead. My advice, watch that several times rather than waste 2 hours on this nonsense. At least with Shaun of the Dead you won't be left with the feeling that you've lost 2 hours of your life that you won't get back AND you'll have been entertained. Sorry, but 1.5/10 (the 0.5 is for some of the camera work and 1 for including Marley Shelton).
