Met nog een paar dagen te gaan tot de bioscooprelease van de film, zijn vandaag de eerste reacties op de film verschenen. Die laten zien dat de film enorm amusant wordt en verschillende elementen bij elkaar weet te brengen om het zombiegenre op z'n kop te zetten.
Sterke opening
Vooral het begin van de film wordt als bijzonder sterk ontvangen lijkt het. Maar niet iedereen is helemaal overtuigd van de film van Snyder. Check hier de reacties:
Army of The Dead is a violent, gory, and bloody blast. Zack Snyder's latest is a ridiculously fun and over the top genre bending zombie film. While the entire cast is great, Matthias Schweighöfer steals every scene. Oh, and the opening credits are absolutely epic. #ArmyoftheDead pic.twitter.com/6Seg3l1AFG

#ArmyOfTheDead is bloody fun! Has great zombie action, character banter & killer music. Also, quite funny. Loved the world created by @ZackSnyder & that every character has a moment to shine. His style matches perfectly with the zombie genre. Opening credits are 🔥#ZombieVerse pic.twitter.com/vhbaKjX8KV

Pretty sure Zack Snyder just beat WB to the punch and made his own Suicide Squad movie, but with zombies. How about that. pic.twitter.com/xUb0lnylTs
#ArmyOfTheDead's opening credits sequence is delicious, pure camp. While the rest of the film doesn't sustain that tone (& meanders), there are lots of wild, deftly executed concepts & scenes centered on the heist. Even more audacious is there's an unexpected infusion of heart. pic.twitter.com/TPGFC2nG2I

#ArmyoftheDead sets up a potentially interesting wrinkle with zombie culture...then does nothing with it. Dawn of the Dead was really inventive overall. This feels cobbled together from known elements. It's at once both enjoyably over the top and annoyingly over the top... pic.twitter.com/aR7JybQhSZ

Its zombie mythology is fresh and different, yet the whole thing feels closer to Romero territory than anything since Romero left us, with just enough pop commentary to recall the social-minded classics of the genre. #ArmyOfTheDead

#ArmyOfTheDead is Snyder's best since Watchmen. His efforts to keep visuals interesting (he's his own DP for this one) plays well with the "big dumb fun" energy that holds throughout, with the added bonus of a few characters playing better than they are written due to the cast.

#ArmyoftheDead is a fucking blast. Like most Snyder films, it's about 20 minutes too long, but that doesn't matter when you're having so much fun.

World-building is intriguing, evolution of the zombie genre is fitting. Watch this movie with as many people as possible.

#ArmyOfTheDead was VERY much my kind of thing. As hoped, the setting + Zack Snyder's eye = a downright stunning display of zombie mayhem and carnage. Fell mighty hard for the whole ensemble, but I might need a 2.5 hour movie about just these two ... pic.twitter.com/j6daBtuCOL

Army of the Dead speelt zich af in de toekomst, als uit Area 51 's werelds eerste zombie ontsnapt is. Die heeft in Las Vegas een heleboel andere mensen gebeten en tot zombie veranderd. De stad is in allerijl verlaten, waardoor in de kluis van een van de casino's nog miljoenen dollars liggen.
Een team van huurlingen wordt in de film ingeschakeld om die miljoenen te halen, en dat te doen voordat het Amerikaanse leger een kernbom op de stad gooit om af te rekenen met de zombieplaag. Maar niets is wat het lijkt, want de zombies blijken een samenleving gebouwd te hebben, waarbij sommigen van hen na kunnen denken.
