There appears to be 3 or 4 versions available - I know it`s not supposed to be that great but I want to see it...didn`t go to the cinema so I can buy the DVD!

Cheers

It`s not that great? According to who? I thought it was pretty good myself...

Go that way, really fast. If something gets in your way, turn...

And those who dance will spin and turn,
And those who wait will wait no more,
And those who talk will hear the words,
And those who see will fade and die,
And those who laugh will surely fall,
And those who know will always feel their backs against the thin wall...

Don`t bother with the theatrical version, the `unrated directors cut` has more gore and an added scene which, whilst not adding much to the overall picture, does round off Cholo`s character more. I have the R1 version which has a superb DTS track and a transfer I can`t fault.

Well, when it was on at the cinema, Nickthegun said: `What is happening to these formerly good directors? Even Land of the Dead was, dare I say it, s***.`

karlveer said: `Worst film for me this year has been Land of the Dead - it was the first time I had ever taken my eyes away from the screen during a movie in the cinema due to boredom. I`m just glad I didn`t pay for the ticket.`

Chewie said: `Land of the Dead - Not a great film, barely even a good one. Only on for 90 minutes but feels like a 2 hour film. Just a bit boring really. Not a patch on the first two (but better than "Day").`

I`ll probably love it tho`!!

Didn`t see it at the cinema as we were on holiday on the release and I wasn`t going to pay full price to see it in one of the smaller screens.

Cheers - will see if I can get hold of the R1 directors.

I liked it though continuing the "The living dead are misunderstood they just need a hug and some loving" theme from Day of the Dead was pushing it a bit

Romero is working on a fifth `Dead` instalment which will be released in 2007, apparently.

Well, just watched the `Directors` cut version of this film...liked the movie but one thing puzzles me.

The disc state 1hr 33mins run time (93 mins) and I have seen reviews saying 99mins. The counter on my DVD shows 1hr 28 mins at the end?? I didn`t leave it to end of the credits but pretty sure there can`t be 10 mins of them!
