Shaun of the Dead Review

I just finished watching shaun of the dead at school for media studies and it was surprisingly quite funny! but it had too much bad language but I guess that made it funny and thats what the characters are meant to act like. Great actors! some of the funniest british comedian actors around which made it more exciting than the story. I found the story and movie alright, because its a take-off of dawn of the dead, a serious horror movie, but I still reckon the story could have been improved.
Dispite my little disappointment in the story I really found the music, shots and the way everything relates to the characters amazing, just the way everything is connected even though its incredibly stupid. I also found that this a very hard to achieve in such a funny movie which makes fun of a horror film. The way everything is put together so perfectly makes it one to watch and if you enjoy movies like this its worth watching but only if your really interested. I would give it a 5/10 so i liked it a little.
There is many emotion changes throughout the movie, like when shauns family and friends die which is sad but quickly changes to a funny remark or something that leads up to a part that you would never expect, it that fast!. Zombies in the film started early in the movie which made you think, what going to happen next, which give a sense of suspense but the music doesn't show so you expect something hilarious to happen.
What I like about shaun is that his life always resolves at the pub whether hes happy,sad or just trying to get away from zombies, thats how it like at the start and end. The music and sounds try to tell you something exciting might happen, but its just shauns friend ed playing video games and throwing a packet of peanuts at shauns face while shaun talks to his girlfriend. Although these guys don't seem exciting it gets better as the movie goes on and the more they get desperate for help.
Another part of the film is where they are , well ...yes back in the pub fighting zombies where they try come up with everything possible but end up doing the worst. Ed starts playing video games and they start fighting the bar man whos a zombie with pool sticks while the jutebox plays bar music, which makes it incredibly stupid but also very interesting.
I still would have to say that Hot Fuzz made by the same people is far better and far more funny and its 100% original so watch that then this.
This is my review and what I think but always watch the movie before you judge cause you might have a different opinion.
