Ana de la Reguera, Matthias Schweighöfer, Omari Hardwick, Dave Bautista, and Ella Purnell in Army of the Dead (2021)
From filmmaker Zack Snyder (300, Watchmen, Zack Snyder’s Justice League), ARMY OF THE DEAD takes place following a zombie outbreak that has left Las Vegas in ruins and walled off from the rest of the world. When Scott Ward (Dave Bautista), a former zombie war hero who’s now flipping burgers on the outskirts of the town he now calls home, is approached by casino boss Bly Tanaka (Hiroyuki Sanada), it’s with the ultimate proposition: break into the zombie-infested quarantine zone to retrieve $200 million sitting in a vault beneath the strip before the city is nuked by the government in 32 hours. With little left to lose, Ward takes on the challenge, assembling a ragtag team of experts for the heist. With a ticking clock, a notoriously impenetrable vault, and a smarter, faster horde of Alpha zombies closing in, only one thing’s for certain in the greatest heist ever attempted: survivors take all.

    Very bad

    Lazy script, lazy direction, lazy acting and screen play.

    It is difficult to watch complete movie without getting irritated.

    Long and boring

    Chessy, corny, boring storyline, terrible acting (not all of them, but still), has absolutely no meaning, no lesson learned. It's supposed to be some kind of action film about a heist, I guess, but don't even enjoy watching the action. Too long, you can cut half of the screen time and still understand what's going on.

    4/10 is a stretch because I'm in a good mood.

    Seemed like it could be a mix of Zombieland, The Expendables, and Oceans 11, but it does not measure up to any of those! :-(

    Some cool action and limited humor do not make up for crappy characters, crappy dialog, and a crappy story! :-(

    I should have stopped.

    I felt the urge to stop watching during that extremely long intro credits montage, but felt that wouldn't be fair. So I kept watching. The urge never went away. What a lame movie. Just terrible. I should have quit at the beginning.

    Good concept, bad writing, and terrible characters

    I'm not usually a fan of Zack Snyder's movies, but I do enjoy his visuals from time to time - maybe he should just stick to directing and leave the writing to those who know how to actually write a good movie with some interesting characters because this movie is just downright bad.

    • Trivia
      Dave Bautista never actually met Tig Notaro, even though in the finished film they appear alongside each other in several scenes. Notaro was inserted digitally.
    • Goofs
      Martin tells Lilly (The Coyote)"I'm gonna go kill that dumb*** pilot now that she fixed the chopper and fly myself out of here." then proceeds to go to the ground level and out the front doors of the casino, but the helicopter was on the roof and there was no reason for him to be going outside. And since Martin had knowledge of the casino, there was no way he'd be lost and accidentally wander outside.
