deird1Saw the World War Z trailer today. (Also saw Iron Man 3 (the movie not the trailer), which totally rocked!)
Was expecting to be annoyed by action scenes, explosions, and Brad Pitt being his movie-star-ish self.
In the end, wasn't annoyed by any of those, because I was too busy restraining myself from yelling angrily about the FAST ZOMBIES.
The zombies were running. RUNNING. In WORLD WAR Z. Running. It was like it was an action movie or something. An action movie with FRELLING FAST ZOMBIES.
Do they not understand the point of the book at all?

...Well, that was the plan when they started six years ago. Before they had to go back and reshoot half of it. Holy crap, this is going to suck.

(Also the parts they ended up re-shooting sounded awesome and less point-missing, though I don't really know.)
