Am I supposed to like this?

I could see what people like about it, but it's just so dated (in a bad way) for me. I don't find it funny nor scary. What am I missing out on?

>What am I missing out on?

A taste.
Just because a bunch of people tell you they like it doesn't mean you have to like it.
Tasteless plebs usually can't just say "I didn't enjoy this movie cause of this and that" but they either fire up their defense mechanism and call everyone a pretentious pleb and the movie utter dogshit, or they force themselves to like it just because a group youtube nerds love it.

Grow a taste my dear amigo friend.

dated is literally NEVER a valid argument for why a film is bad, and no. You are not "supposed" to like this you underage fucking moron.

One of the few movies where I prefer the remake. Probably because it has nothing to do with the original, that is beside Zombies of course (and Romero as screenwriter apparently).
My favorite Romero movie is still Night of the Living Dead, if you haven't yet seen it yet I would encourage you to do so. Also all of his movies I've seen are kind of odd in their own way, but that probably adds to their unique charme, right?

Stick to the 2004 flick then, pleb.

Because it starts showing a crumbling world, then shifts to an eerie atmosphere then to a consumerism critique not shot in your face.

Always self-aware, see Raimi's character.

"Dated" can be a valid argument but people only connect it to visuals.

For example, Deadpool is an almost instantly dated movie because of all the buzzword "hashtag twitter yolo" jokes.
In a few decades people won't even understand half of the movie.

Ahhh.... all the children with no attention span will now be watching this and crying

I just found the effects to be bad and wasn't a fan of the weird gray painted skin the zombies have.

Not an argument.

wasn't meant to be one

Dude consumers are like zombies dude get it?

Day > Night >> Land > Dawn >> Diary/whatever

>watch a movie recommended by Mike and Jay
>it sucks
really makes you think

I can't stand movies about survival when the characters consistently act unrealistically stupid. It's so unsatisfying to watch.

Why is this piece of shit held in such high regard?

Is it just a gen X thing? Do millenials actually enjoy this?

>doesn't refer to himself as a millenial
>doesn't get Dawn of the Dead (1978)
fuck off. youre about 11

>unironically defending a b zombie movie

Pretty much. It's the only reason why shit like A New Hope is still considered a classic regardless of the awful acting and rushed ending.

>am I supposed to like this
yes

its a certified pleb filter

Dawn is still great but it's the weakest of the three imo. The goofy parts do nothing for me at all.

>One of the few movies where I prefer the remake.

Shut the fuck up, go eat a bag of dicks you motherfuck.
I hate you so much.
OOH FUCK IYOU I HATE YOU FUCKING SO MUCH FUCK YOU GODDAMN IT FUCK YOU

>dated
pleb criticism

being serious then, its more about the themes and the social commentary. I never care for zombie crap and I get ridiculed in every Romero thread for not caring for Day of the Dead, but imo Dawn is a good film

>I prefer the remake

Please
kys

This, Dawn of the Dead is intelligent horror. Its about mood and situation not booga booga jump scare

>intelligent
>horror

I wrote about the self-aware, autoironic part.

That's one scene that belongs to that. See (or better, listen) The Gonk.

There is a superficial tone change in different part of the movie but it does not fall apart and is well paced, albeit slow.

The movie is underrated.

BUT IT IS THE MAJORITARIAN CONSENSUS THAT THE "MOVIE" IS GREAT AND THE BEST OF THE SERIES, WHEN ACTUALLY IT IS NEITHER GREAT, NOR THE BEST OF THE SERIES.

THE "ORIGINAL POSTER" IS MERELY EXPRESSING HIS GENUINE OPINION REGARDING THE "MOVIE"; YOU ARE THE ONE CONCURRING WITH WHAT OTHERS SAY, WHICH MAKES POST IRONIC.

>... WHICH MAKES [YOUR] POST IRONIC.

No it's not
it's literally saying "I can't appreciate the visual ststyland immerse myself in it because it doesnt match up with what I'm used to"
it's an even worse copout than saying a movie is boring t b h

Romero made one good movie.
It was called Night of the Living Dead.
He then went on to be a self-proclaimed "horror" king for the next forty years, rehashing crap that progressively got worse and worse while horror goons gobbled it up because omg this guy made the first zombie movie.

Is there a Dead Trilogy Blu ray or do I have to buy them each individually?

Individually.

I prefer the Tom Savini NOTD remake to the original. The Dawn remake not so much, since the original Dawn is still my favorite of the Dead movies. The remake was fine and all, but it just doesn't compare to me.

Dawn's UK and Japan releases have all three cuts of the movie. The US Bluray has only the 127 minute version.

I enjoyed Land / Diary / Survival.

I liked Land and Survival. But Dairy was just pure shit.

>Dairy
Diary, shit I spelled the wrong word.

Imo, they were all bad, but Land was somewhat watchable, and Survival ok-bad. Diary was just shit.

Dairy of the Dead - that is a movie I would watch

Mooooooooooooooooooo

...

You gotta take yourself to that era of time then, use your suspension of disbelief. Being stuck in modernity leaves one at a loss of variable concepts. The hipster complex.

Day > Night > Dawn

Dawn = Day = Night
All are GOAT. Night remake is great as well.

Oh God. Oh GOD. We've hit the point of no return. The millenials have become the normal audience for the site and their shit opinions are going to become the average.

I'M BECOMING OOOOOOOLD

Have you watched any of his non-zombie movies? Martin and The Crazies (original) are great. Monkey Shines and Bruiser are pretty good too.

thats a very self aware parody of slapstick humour, which would often result in pie fights.
but, ofc you're more familiar with a joystick than slapstick, kid.

my advice: watch more films.

Just watched it for the first time last week and I thought it was awesome. I don't know how it's "dated" though, it was released pretty much in the 80s. If it was from 1961 I could understand but 1978? Nope.

I liked how it didn't feel like a horror movie and was just about survivors in a shitty situation finding out how to make the best of things. Probably one of my favorite movies. The only part that is kind of lackluster is the biker invasion, and the original planned ending sounded much better.

Its dated in a sense of the time period but the social commentary couldn't have been more spot on even almost 40 years later where consumerism and commercialism is at an all time high
