Cockneys vs. Zombies was a cool idea, but the
execution was atrocious. Nearly everything the characters did was illogical to
the point of being obnoxious. I did like some of the characters, and it was
funny at times, but you're better off just watching the trailer and pretending
you've seen the movie.
Cockneys vs. Zombies had a great trailer, so I was
immediately interested. Roeper didn't review it, so I didn't have any help
there. Reviews on IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes were mixed. I felt like it was one
of those movies where you would like it if you were predisposed to, so I kept
it on my list.
That was a big mistake. This movie was terrible. The idea
was cool - tough old people fighting zombies. But the execution was rough. It
felt like some college kids got together and made a movie. The production value
was just nonexistent. The zombies didn't look dead. They moved so slowly, I
don't see how they could be a threat to anyone.
I haven't seen the classic zombie movies, but I think
that's what they were going for with these zombies and effects; that and, they
clearly had no money with which to make the movie. The effects were super fake
and super gory at the same time. They were pretty gross. Even though the
zombies were slow, I did still find them scary, but I'm easy to scare.
