eah, yeah, it's just a movie, you say. But like the first-person-shooter video games the film's "Double Tap" title references, society can't just passively sit back and accept an attitude that mocks pacifism and makes light of such

I keep trying to talk it out with these zombies, but they just grunt and ask for brains.

I'm not sure why they're not interested in me.

I mean...it's a fricking zombie movie! Did they even WATCH the first one? What, are they supposed to sit around and have a conversation with them? Try to understand their motives and desires? Possibly hook them up with some counseling?

This all confuses me.

Well, there simply HAS to be a better way than killing them. Surely some common ground can be found. Perhaps a few losses to the zombie horde should be an acceptable alternative to killing them. Why do they need to be killed? Just wound them or chase them off.

Looking at the reviews, it's up to 81% with 21 reviews in.

All of the negative reviews say things like it doesn't have enough social commentary, which the movie wasn't designed for. If that's the negative, count me in. I never understand reviews that dock a movie for the lack of things the movie was clearly not trying to do.

The movie is supposed to include everything that singular person wishes for it to include not what the creator of the movie wanted it to include.

I'm guessing the critics were expecting some obscene Trump bashing since the trailer showed a scene in the oval office. Luckily the director knew his audience and stayed away from that.

I myself dabbled in pacifism once. Not in Nam of course.

Endless moralizing is what ruined The Walking Dead.
