Bob Jim It was definitely a fun movie. The geezers were really funny, the "crew" had an interesting dynamics and each character is really well thought and distinct. No character is like another. I don't see why it got such a low score honestly. And I had declared the female hostage as my waifu. (If you watch it you'll get why) Only one character wasn't really needed nor was it funny. (I'll explain on the "cons")Pros: It's funny most of the times. Cool action scenes. Fun & Distinct characters.Cons: Slow pacing at the beginning. Quite gory, even when they don't need to. The weird chubby robber-guy who effed up his robbery hence getting caught. He added nothing and I found the interactions he had with other characters cringe-worthy.

bowmanblue A zombie film. Another one. Ever since Resident Evil they've been coming thick and fast - each one trying to add something different into the genre. Some work, most don't. Here we have a low budget British epic which does its best to steer away from comparisons with the classic Shaun of the Dead. However, it will always be doomed to fail on that front. For a start, it's British, it's a comedy, it has gore and is set in London, starring a load of 'average Joes' who just so happen to get caught up in an undead uprising.Although it's not bad. It has a few moments of humour and a decent amount of gore for such a low budget film. However, just as I can't really think of anything bad to say about it, I can't really think of anything good either. If you want zombies, gore and a dose of comedy, you really might as well just stick with Shaun of the Dead.Cockneys vs Zombies doesn't take itself seriously and die hard fans of the genre should find plenty to appreciate about it. It just seems a case of 'been there and done that.' I have to say I was kind of hoping, seeing as the film was set in the East End of London, to watch hordes of rampant flesh-eating ghouls rampaging through Albert Square, ripping apart patrons of the Queen Vic in the process. Now that would be worth the price of any cinema admission!

begob Americans don't get irony? Sorry, Englanders - so much irony it comes out your arse in a watery rush. This is the anti-comedy. Badly written/directed/shot/edited. And it's drawn out, with zero scares and hahaha laughs. Plenty of good actors. They got Michelle Ryan, so there had to be a long, slow close up on her amazing face. No chance. Really was the weirdest day of her life. Everything else inferior, and comparison to the classic Shaun is stupid. The IMDb reviews for this are perverse. Or maybe they're recruiting for UKIP?

ikrani That should pretty much tell you whether or not you'll enjoy this movie. If you're looking for a serious Walking Dead zombie film, this is not it. This is not a needlessly grim tale of a "realistic" zombie apocalypse. And no, this isn't Shaun of the Dead, either. Yes, it IS a British zombie comedy, but that's where the similarities end. Think of it as a British version of "Zombieland" meets "The A-Team". And yes, the movie IS as awesome as that sounds.This film takes a semi-realistic approach to the zombie genre. On one hand, we have the characters quickly realizing that the zombie apocalypse is upon them because, let's face it, pretending that zombie culture doesn't exist in your zombie film is so clichéd at this point. On the other hand, we have the characters using military-grade hardware to mow down the zombies and never having to reload except for a few times.The movie obviously drew influence from the Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy, which becomes quite obvious during the scenes with the old folks. I hold it as a rule that anytime old people are part of the main cast of an action/comedy film, you KNOW you're in for a good time. They take advantage of every old person joke you can think of: old people trying to out-walk the slow-moving shamblers, old people being senile when handed firearms, old people being hands-offish about hitting zombies with things, you name it, it's in here. And every joke works.The main young characters are all very likable and very entertaining, except for one arse-hat who has got to be the stupidest hostage I've ever seen in my life. Despite their criminal actions, they do it with the best of intent, trying to save their granddad and the old folks from having to move out of their comfortable nursing home to some undesirable place farther north. And after seeing what a lovable old crotchety asshole Granddad is, I agree that he is totally, unsarcastically worth keeping around.Granddad embodies this movie.
