My desire to see this film was fed by this review on YouTube by TomSPerkins, and I'm glad I took his advice because I really enjoyed it. The film has a brilliant, sharp, fast opening sequence that really engaged me, and I was happily entertained for the rest of the movie.
Zombieland is, of course, a zombie movie, but also a comedy. I'm not a big fan of horror movies; the only zombie films I've seen off the top of my head are 28 Days Later (not a comedy) and Shaun of the Dead (a comedy--that I loved), so I pretty much expected this to resemble the latter. Aside from the genre elements of zombies and humour, the two films are fairly different (although I wasn't comparing them while watching Zombieland). Anyway, this was a really fresh, well-made movie. 7.5/10
