World War Z starts briskly and runs straight into utter tedium. Throw in a few skirmishes with some speedy zombies to break up the dross and you have a big budget/made for TV movie. The pace is off, the acting is distinctly average and the pay off doesn't convince. A poor excuse for a zombie movie, devoid of menace this is one to forget.

As Zombie movies go this is reasonably good, not quite 5* but you have to forget it went through a lot of directors and the end was changed (rough around the edges) to leave it open for the sequel which I believe is currently in production and due out 2018. If you're a fan of the genre and not overly critical then a decent flick.

As an adventure/action movie with zombies (if you can call them that), it's not a bad film, but the source material is far superior. The film makers have changed/missed, or just ignored the concept of the novel completely. If you haven't read the book, I highly recommend it. I would love to see a proper adaption of the novel as a mini series in flash-backs as the book is told in interviews with the survivors of WWZ.
