I watched all 3 runs Halloween. It's awesome. Darabont does vintage Romero better than Romero. I always thought Romero'd be king of the zombies, or at least Godfather, but after watching Survival, the ____er's become the Fredo of zombies.
Very good point. I was actually thinking this when i was watching the walking Dead. Walking dead has the same suspense, character development, tension and drama that the original NOTLD personified. Romeros new movies are lacking all these qualities.
going back to survival, Survival was the worst Zombie movie I have ever seen, and I have probably seen almost every zombie movie out there from the original NOTLD, return, italian zombie flicks, foreign zomboe flicks, tombs of the blind dead, independent zombie movies, night of the creeps, blah blah blah and on and on. I will go out on a limb and say I actually liked the NOTLD-3d remake much more than Survival.....But Romero did create NOTLD and I will always respect him greatly for that masterpiece despite the terrible work hes done recently.
One final note and I will probably get criticism for making this comment. I like the original Dawn almost as much as the original NOTLD, but the brief sequence of the campy scenes towards the end of Dawn like the pie fighting scenes IMHO kept dawn from being the perfect zombie hooror masterpiece it could have been. I think that one or two minutes of Dawn was a foreshadowing of Romero's later work when he abandoned all the positive qualities of what made his original trilogy and just created 2 hour campy movies.
