Army of the Dead

Big fan of zombie movies I'll give it a watch when it hits Netflix.
 
My biggest concern is that it's 2 and a half hours long for what should be a fast-paced grindhouse feature, it suspiciously sounds like there will be a lot of extranous subplots and melodrama padding it out.
 
Directed by Zack Snyder, huh? Not the most glowing of recommendations. Slick visuals with iffy story is my bet.
If you haven't seen Snyder's Dawn of the Dead it's well worth a watch. It's a briskly paced ride that trades the social commentary of the Romero original for pure visceral fun.

That being said, if this movie is two and a half hours long (I don't know if it is, it doesn't have runtime on the IMDB page) that does not bode well. Something like this needs to get in, do it's thing and wrap it up before the audience has a chance to really think about what they're seeing (much the way a robbery crew does).

I don't mind pure visceral fun and slick visuals from Zack Snyder. Unfortunately I noticed that lately he seems to be trying to potray himself as a story-driven film maker, which ends up with his films being a bore to watch.

IMO the dude's a superlative director of photography, a meh director at best.
 

Smarter than average undead and a zombie tiger.
 


Story seems weird. An abandoned, run-down casino in the middle of the zombie hordes, but the economy is apparently still running, so the team goes in to heist a load of money because there is somehow going to be a gap where they can get in and out.

The facing off with a zombie army that is now much smarter and well-organized part is looking like the more credible storytelling.
