Zombies have taken over the world, the last humans alive live in a walled city. Zombies are becoming more intelligent and a revolution in the city is becoming likely. (Dennis Hopper) Leader of the (CEO) looks after the rich while everyone else has to look out for themselves.

Land of the Dead has a lot of violence and a fair amount of blood and gore, which is what you would expect from a Zombie film. We get to see a few new characteristics from the zombies, like a zombie using a gun for example, plus the zombies have a leader, a zombie with more intelligence than the rest.

Again George A. Romero has done a lot with a small budget. There are some good effects, good action scenes, the film as a whole is solid with good performances from the actors with effective dialog. While this movie is not particularly scary it's very entertaining and well worth a watch.

Overall Land of the Dead is not a master piece, but it does provide us with some decent zombie action and original zombie moments. George A. Romero provides us with another entertaining zombie movie to keep us zombie movie lovers fulfilled for a while.
