So why do people turn into zombies
this time around, since the movie starts after our heroes are virtually the only humans left? The explanation is dispensed with almost before the titles are over, and it’s just as unnecessary to the rest of the movie as any of the explanations of previous zombie flicks. So get with the zombie killin’!
And get to it they do, with great relish; and boy, is it ever fun. “Zombieland” is not deep. There’s not much by way of “layers” or character arcs. But what it does, it does well; it knows what it is and what it isn’t, and delivers in spades. A funny script, a talented cast, surprising cameos, and a bit of genuine creepiness from zombies that you can shoot guilt-free. If that’s your idea of a good time, than “Zombieland” is your kind of movie.
