It does look good but they are not what I'd call Zombies - more like Zoom-zoom-zoombies

We'd better get those zombies moulded up then ready for it's release!

thought for sure they were all running from the lunitic driving the Garbage Truck at the beginning

Fast Zombies? Why? Why? WHY?

And why the undead moves like... liquids?

If it runs, it isn't a zombie.

What I want to know is....
If a zombie has been lurching around for a number of weeks, why hasn't it been reduced to a 'skelington' by being feasted on by maggots during all that time ?

Well zombies were/are people who have been put into a trance like state by drugs, and appear 'dead' to the living. In said state they are so 'out of it' that they do move rather slowly. This still goes on in places like Haiti and certain parts of West Africa. Some years back there was a good documentary on this on Channel 4 I believe.

Well... NO, WWZ is based on the novel of the same name, and there is clearly indicated that are CORPSES...

Brad Pitt thou art sh*t.

But seriously I think the cgi looks cheesy on this.

And in the book, they are slow.

Just finished reading the 16 Walking Dead graphic novels. 

Pretty much shows the way it should be done.

So, basically....They are cold, slowly rotting meat....The maggots should be having a feast !!

Not exactly, Solanum, the virus that kills, and then reanimates the corpse (in the max brooks books) also preserves the body from rotting, killing all bacteries and parasites. Hey, ask to Mr Brooks, not me!

 
Well....at least he's thought about it then.
Good for him !

Really?

Didn't he just think, 'ooh Resident Evil T-virus...that sounds like a good idea'?

Sorry Zombies of any description leave me cold, now Vampires, that a whole nother issue. 

Utterly crushingly disappointed by the trailer. I had a copy of the audiobook of WWZ and it was fantastic fun- great voice actors liek Alan Alda and Mark Hammil doing their bit. Made my commute to work much more enjoyable. Why they have made such a generic film from such good source material is beyond me, although the book probably needs a HBO style TV series to make it work- 6-8 episodes covering some of the bigger, deeper scenarios in the book- Battle of Yonkers, that Big brother style chapter where the celebs all get eaten, the winter scenes in the US, etc etc.

Oh well.

I think the same...

It looks like a decent zombie movie in its own right, but if I didn't know it was World War Z, I'd not have been able to tell from the trailer alone.

I had assumed though that they'd have to do something like this to make a movie, given the multiple separate stories of the book. As has been said, to do the book justice it would have to be a HBO style episodic approach.
