    Just, great!
    Ving Rhames, excellent,as usual.
    This version is really, but really different of the original 1. It's not really a remake of the George Romero's Dawn of the Dead.
    The common points r mainly:
    - Some people who didn't know each other before the zombie's pb meet in this desperate situation, and find together a refuge.
    - The mall
    - The survivors finally escape from the mall.
    - The black cop as hero.

    Almost everything else is different between these movies.

    I own and love both movies, but prefer a bit this 1, even if there r also things making me prefer the old 1.

    Best zombie movie out there! This is my favorite zombie movie. It just blows all zombie movies that I have see out of the water. I love the new generation of zombie, crazy fast and strong. If you are a fan of zombie movies and you have not seen this one then you should just paint your room pink and become a girl because that is what you are.

    Terrific modern horror film: exciting, scary, and pulse-pounding with the most frightening and deadliest zombies ever seen. Shows what can happen when you recruit a cast that can act. The pregnancy side story went over the top, but otherwise a white-knuckle thrillride; don't dare miss the opening 10 minutes!!

    One of the few occasions that a remake is as good as the original... even thought it's a different, a completely different kind of movie. Zack Snyder showed great promise in an almost flawless debut.

    Well, I hate to say this, but this one really blows the original away! I mean 26 years really looks a whole lot of different. I almost felt asleep on the 1978 made film wishing I would have read a book instead. This one lives up what movie goers would expect from a horror film nowadays.

    Even the critics that are hard to please thought the remake was good.The original at times gets boring but not a good job in the make-up dept much better job with the sequel Day of the dead in 1984 the gore effects were more realistic & better make-up effects with the zombies not saying Dawn of the dead is a bad film not better than the remake.

    Although he had strong reservations about some elements, George A. Romero professed to be surprisingly impressed with the film.

    Back in the 70's maybe the original was the best zombie film that came out but looking at the movie now is not the same feeling for some.I thought it was ok but boring dialogue.This new Dawn is one of the best zombie flicks i seen it delivers.Awesome effects!It needs a sequel.

    I get tired of people saying this is better than the original, due to the special effects and so on. True, it was good, especially in the era of the remake. But it lacked the messages that most people failed to catch in the original(i.e. consumerism, which was the purpose for the mall in the first place, etc.). Plus, the original had a killer music score, composed by the legendary Goblins. All in all though, this was a great movie!!!

    This movie actually had me feeling what it would be to be stuck in an end of the world situation... I love this movie better than most horror because I forgot that it wasn't real... and I can watch it over and over...

    I've Seen the Original Over and Over...and Over. Its Just such a great Movie.
    And now i can watch the new one ...well not THAT many times but it gave me what i was lookin for, an "All-OUT Action Zombie Movie.
    Most remakes Fail, this one didnt.
    but one movie cannot Top the Other.
    Whoever watches the new one 1st is gonna think the original is too tame.
    and whoever saw the original 1st, will think the new one is not character or story driven.
    Nonetheless u will all see a Twilight.
