Warm Bodies review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 06/10/13
"He's bleeding...he's alive." Perry is killed by R, a zombie. Uncharacteristically, he saves Julie and tries to get to know her. M, R's best friend, becomes suspicious. The soundtrack, as good as it may seem, doesn't match certain scenes. The story's pace is slow and moves based only on memories. It was weird seeing R run when admittedly he moves slowly. Nicholas Hoult's portrayal makes the film watchable because of its believability and delightful his role. The screenplay was surprisingly provocative: "To feel better, a little less dead." "I wish I could dream." "Must be hard..I see you trying hard." "I should be happy with wht I have." "You can be whatever you want." So many positivity and minute cheesy lines, transformation of a corpse to being human again with no explanation for such a dark premise. As ludicrous as it all may seem, the sounds and humor were enjoyable enough to view this picture. Warm Bodies does entertain in a sense and is a descent romantic comedy with touches of drama and horror elements.
