For those who have seen it what did you think? Is it worth a blind buy? It's only $16.99 at best buy this week.

It was ok. I am sure I will buy it cause I have to have all movies from a series but to be honest, not a single thing stands out in my mind about it. Well one thing about a vegetarian that is in it, which, I didn't like.
I say Rent rent rent!!!

Dougie... save yourself the cash and download it. It's not worth the money in my opinion

I saw it last night. The plkot was lame, two old guys fighting over turf and whether to keep zombies dead or alive. It was a pretty weak story.
What killed it was the craptastic zombie make up. It looked like halloween store chepo appliances. There wasn't really any good gore scenes there than one zombie getting his eyes blown out of his head when someone sticks a fire extinguisher in his mouth and fills him full of foam. The cg was pretty bad much of the time as well.
There was a interview with George talking about how for budget reasons they have to use cb and that it can do things tom savini cant. The only trouble is that when savini did it, it looked great and realistic unlike the cartoon blood and horrible animated heads blowing up. I really hate to say it but romero needs to hang it up. He has completely lost the magic he once had. He is just making an hiney of himself with these craptastic sequels. I just don't understand why the hell some one cant make a good zombie movie with lots of foam rubber and gory effects done without cg. I guess the zombie glory days are behind us

Oh I don't think the glory days are behind us. I mean the trailer alone for the Walking Dead tv series, shows that it can still be good and frightening.
The Glory days are just behind Romero, I am afraid. Which I am sorry to say, cause his older films are still in my favorites list.

I couldn't agree with you any more then that!
After seeing the trailer I knew it was gonna stink.
It's a real shame but I really do think that his glory days are well over...... Unless he puts out something worth while. Hopefully he does but this one had really bad written all over it when I saw the trailer....... I was shocked at how bad it was......
