Army Of The Dead Review
Summary:
Netflix and Zack Snyder s Army of the Dead is a big, bad, bonkers and incredibly violent delight of a zombie movie.
For better or worse, Netflix’s
Army of the Dead is Zack Snyder in his purest form. He may have carved out the early years of the DCEU in his own image, with
Man of Steel,
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and HBO Max’s
His superhero epics were overlong, often ponderous and a little too self-serious for their own good, as if he was battling against his own instincts on whether to paint them as tragedies of gods and men inspired by ancient mythology, or deliver the more straightforward crowd-pleasing superhero blockbusters that the studio clearly wanted all along.
The coronavirus pandemic has had a major impact on the film industry.

Ahead of its theatrical release tomorrow, Netflix has released the first 15 minutes of Zack Snyder’s newest zombie action-thriller
Army of the Dead, providing viewers a better idea of the film’s premise.

The film is set to arrive in theaters tomorrow on May 14, exclusively at 200 Cinemark locations. The wide release will then be followed by its global streaming debut on May 21 on Netflix.
“I did want to sort of shorthand this opening because I really wanted to get to [the fact that] these are veterans of a zombie war going back,” Snyder explained the process behind making the opening scene during ComingSoon.net’s recent interview with the filmmaker. “Not newbies who just learned how to navigate it. I knew I needed to do that within the confines of this title sequence. That was really my philosophical approach. Then in des
Dave Bautista is not what you would call “the strong, silent type.” Barely concealed beneath the hulking body of a superhero a role he’s played multiple times in Marvel’s
Guardians of the Galaxy films lies a heart bursting with emotions. He’s prone to eruptions of anger and frustration, and he’s not afraid to cry onscreen. At 52, he’s a little bit older than your standard Hollywood action dude. He wears the weight of all those years in every line on his weathered face. He looks like he could beat the crap out of you without breaking a sweat and then would wrestle with the guilt and shame of what he’d done for the rest of his life.
