6/10
A whacky and enjoyable foray into the zombie genre...
10 November 2023
Granted, I am not familiar with the Anime or Manga upon which 2023 live action movie is based. Yet, that didn't prevent me from wanting to sit down and watch the movie. With "Zom 100: Zombie Ni Naru Made Ni Shitai 100 No Koto" (aka "Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead") being a zombie-based movie, that was that essentially all I needed to want to watch it.

Sure, I didn't know what I was getting into here, and thus writers Haro Aso, Tatsuro Mishima and Kotaro Takata had every opportunity to impress, entertain and bedazzle me with this 2023 movie.

The script and storyline in the movie was actually a fun one, and the writers managed to keep the movie enjoyable all throughout the 128 minutes that the movie ran for. I was genuinely entertained by what the writers dished out here, and it was a actually a nice addition to the zombie genre. There was a good combination of traditional zombie story here, mixed and spruced up by elements of comedy, and it was all laced by a good character gallery.

I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, but the actors and actresses definitely put on good performances in bringing the characters and story to life, pardon the pun, on the screen.

The special effects, be it CGI or practical effects in the movie were great, and the zombies in the movie were definitely great, adding something enjoyable to the overall movie. But hold on here, because then there was the zombie shark. I can't claim that I was a fan of that one, but hey, it is a matter of personal preference of course. It has to be seen in order to be believed, as mere words will not do the atrosity justice.

Overall a movie well-worth spending 128 minutes on sitting down to watch. My rating of "Zom 100: Zombie Ni Naru Made Ni Shitai 100 No Koto" lands on a six out of ten stars.
