I read the book. But movies almost, always never go by the book. But it's zombies, 'nuff said...
                             I WILL LEAD BY EXAMPLE, NEVER REQUIRING A RECRUIT TO ATTEMPT ANY TASK I WOULD NOT DO MYSELF. |

Yes I read the book. I also have the survival guide by the same author.
The movies are never as good as the book. This movie looks awesome. The only expectation I have from the movie is that it follows the world/reality as set up by the book. Can't wait to see it!                         |

Brad Pitt turned this into a 'star vehicle' for him and totally fucked it up. People are saying it could be the biggest box office flop ever.
Max Brooks article: "World War Z Author Says Movie and Novel Share Title Only" Check out this article: "Brad Pitt's 'World War Z': Biggest Flop Ever?" http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/mark...?utm_hp_ref=uk The end of the movie DID have Pitt becoming a super-zombie-killing dude living in the sewers of Moscow and organizing resistance BUT... .... audiences didn't like that because he never reunited with his family. So, they completely RESHOT the entire last 45 minutes. Now it's a heartfelt reunion. Fuck Hollywood. They could have made a great movie, with Pitt as a reporter interviewing people, like in the book. The stories should have been live-action flashbacks...                Keep your ears buttered up while I set fire to the rain! |

I found this review and feel that it is probably one of the most honest reviews out there.
Basically the movie will have some entertainment value but fans of the books are likley to hate it. Love this highly critical comment on this reviewers you tube page, heh: Quote:

I have to agree. I'm going to watch it as if I didn't read the book. I'll keep an open mind.

Here's a quote from BRAD PITT:
Brad Pitt on "The Devil's Own": ''[Not having a finished script before filming was] the most irresponsible bit of filmmaking -- if you can even call it that -- that I've ever seen." (via NYT) And that is EXACTLY what they did with World War Z. Started with no finished script... had to get it done before the zombie craze died out I guess. Keep your ears buttered up while I set fire to the rain! |

I think Chief has the right idea. I can see how the book will not work on the big screen. So I think the only way to enjoy the movie is to not watch it (DG style) or to realize it as stated by Max Brooks: It has the books name and that's about it. A stand alone movie.
