Warm Bodies (2013)

Touches You

Redundant and unnecessary.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

This movie is lazily written Riddled with cliches Full of cringe dialogue Poorly acted Doesn't take itself seriously enough to be engaging but takes itself too seriously for the embarrassing jokes to pack any punch. I watched this with a group of friends and we laughed when R got shot. Pretty sure that wasn't the intended reaction. Also naming a character after a letter or number is really overdone. The movie has no depth. It follows the exact same path as every other romantic comedy, except because it has zombies in it that makes it different...? It was shot pretty well, so it gets one star.Please don't watch this.

I was expecting a slightly dark Rom-Com and got a little more.What piqued my interest, was the angst filled,hapless R,shuffling through the airport lamenting on how humans used to interact and connect, which switched to the same airport, filled with disconnected humans, alienated and engaging only with their cell phones. I thought, well , that's an astute observation. Hought's was a compelling performance, I loved his repulsion at his own inhumanity when he ate the brain of Perry, as seen through Perry's memory. That's some good acting. I also like that twist, it reminded me of Robert Heinlein's Michael Valentine Smith,(Stranger in a Strange Land) who ate the bodies of the dead in order to absorb their spirit, all in the name of love. You grok?I LOL'd in real life when the zombies were geared into action, to 'Rock You Like a Hurricane', and we were treated to the (now iconic) Reservoir Dogs slow-mo, except it was in real time- because...hey, they're zombies! They're already in slow-mo!Also when the makeover to human montage was cut short by the friend shutting off Pretty Woman and saying "It's funny". It is. And of course, the redemption of the zombies (and humans) and the bonding experience of reconciliation through the love of killing a common enemy.Yay!

When looking for horror this did not look like a good choice. The cover did not feature some creepy mannequin or demon. The film from the word go entices you in with the characters and psychologically tests your preconceptions about zombies and the paranormal. You will be taken on a journey building understanding and empathy for the characters along with a healthy degree of gore and humour. The characters and plot clearly have been well thought out and the main actor and actress are stunning and dramatic in performance. The flow of the movie is great since it is not slow to pick up the story line. The story line is unexpected and interesting and keeps you guessing throughout and changing your own perception of good and bad. I certainly do not regret sitting down and getting thoroughly engrossed.Well planned, well played, should appeal to many

Warm Bodies was, without question, one of those infuriating "zombie-turned-love-story" movies that only excelled in earning my complete contempt for it and all of its utter preposterousness.If you ask me - Warm Bodies was so brain-dead and moronic (on all counts) that it only ended up completely disgracing the movie sub-genre of zombies like no other picture I've ever seen before, or since.And, as far as zombie movies go - Warm Bodies contained so many glaring flaws and equally cringe-worthy moments that, at this point, I don't know where the heck to start voicing and venting my total disgust for this reeking heap of idiotic asininity.So, in conclusion - I will bring my angry commentary to its abrupt end by simply saying that I sure hope that this sort of "zombie-turned-love-story" movie isn't going to become the latest trend.Sheesh! Spare me that ultimate torture!
