Whimpy Zombies... Bad Writing... Yuck.

I am a big fan of thew original Return of the Living Dead, and like the 2nd and 3rd just fine. I wasn't expecting much from 4, but was hoping they would go back to slightly more campy than 3 which was more of a serious love story. Not a terrible film though. What we have here is soooooo much worse.

First off the zombies in ROTLD Necropolis DIE EASILY!!! Several times they just shoot the zombies and that's it. At one point there's a mock 3 on 3 fist-fight between the kids and some zombies and the zombies are THROWING PUNCHES! *sigh* Was it really so hard to stick with the "Zombies run after people and grab them" tried and true method." As mentioned in a couple of reviews there's a number of scenes filled with characters 'running out of ammo' for guns, including 3 times in less than 30 seconds. This particular writing selection struck me as odd as they had the kids in a massive armoury.

The writing in this movie is just awful, not original anywhere, clichéd and over the top... but sadly it doesn't give you any kind of character development or cohesive plot.

"They are making UBER Zombies!" ... Wow...

Such a bad bad movie. There's so many scenes of pure annoyance I can't go through them all without suffering mental issues.
