Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Good movie but grossly overrated
Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
I saw the preview of this film on a Hong Kong film I rented, and thought it looked fantastic. Insane superheroes, zombies, giant snakes, what could be better. Unfortunately, when I was finally able to track the film down, it turned out to be something of a disappointment, as almost all of the funniest parts were in the trailer.The main issue is that there are far too few funny moments to justify a ninety-five minute movie. Most of the real laughs come on the all too rare occasions when they break the fourth wall. Many of the other jokes are spoofs of eight or nine year old movies that now come across as dated. The action / horror scenes are nowhere near scary enough, (and have too bad special effects) to stand by themselves. Virtually the only reason to actually rent the film is for the attractive Thai actresses.
'Sars Wars: Bangkok Zombie Crisis' would be a perfect candidate to show to a group of people drinking and ready for some fun. It is high energy, seriously slapstick and it's packed full of Zombies! They don't make you wait long for the action. The story isn't terribly important so build up is slim. A government official holds a press conference assuring the public that Bangkok is perfectly safe from the deadly mutated version of the Sars Virus currently rampaging Africa. Meanwhile, a girl gets kidnapped and we visit dad while he watches the video sent to him demanding a ransom. Then you're pretty much in the quarantined building where lot's and lot's of people become Zombies. If dealing with zombies isn't enough, there is also a giant snake wandering about swallowing people whole. The ending is ridiculous which even the characters acknowledge and actually have a good chuckle at the viewers expense. The wonderfully wacky gags, costumes and characters are as entertaining as the over the top situations they get plunked into. Had it been a little more liberal with the blood and gore I would have given this one a perfect score. It is funny, fast paced and is an absolute blast. Did I mention there are tons of zombies and a giant snake?! What more do you want?! Highly Recommended!
...is almost as good as the original! This is a very stupid movie. The jokes are horrible, and the plot isn't much to speak of. However, I totally love it for these reasons; There is a lot of zombie mayhem in this movie. And I mean a lot. Although the zombies, for some reason, had fangs and could run (which in general is a no-no), I absolutely loved them.The movie makers must've had distance to themselves, and not taken themselves too seriously. Had they done that, and tried to make the first Thai zombie epic, they may have failed, and a fall from that high would be much worse. Sure, the comedy in this movie is stupid, but it's becoming of the style.So, this in an all-out splatter feast with lots of immature antics thrown in for good measure, and I highly recommend it.
If you liked Shaun of the Dead then you will like this one. I have never laughed so hard in my life. It has everything from gore, to snakes, to zombies, to a very funny sex scene. It all started with a bug flying around with the Sars #4 virus and then ended up infecting a whole complex full of ravers and then some. You have to see what happens to the zombies and the people still alive in this movie. I will also say that the People of Thiland have a great sense of humor because they make fun of themselves a lot. I don't think this movie is for children to see so please make sure they don't. Please make sure you check this movie out cause it is well worth seeing.
