It's only bad if you've played the games and know they fucked up the story. If you haven't played them then it's decent.
Yeah, this. Not really good. But decent. I have absolutely no urge to ever watch it again, but I didn't mind it too much watching it once in the theatre. (I had to see it in theatres. My girlfriend at the time was heavily into horror movies).
I hadn't played the games before watching the movie and I had/have no problem with the story changes. Ignoring the load of plot holes, the movie has narrative problems in that Rose goes through trying to figure things out and never actually does, with it all just being explained like a video game cutscene near the end, and that in all but one tense situation, the movie itself goes "well, that's enough" and the threat just vanishes into thin air.
The entire book is ruined by it's very premise: It's a documentary style take on a global zombie outbreak, detailing personal accounts of people who survived and what they did during various stages of outbreak. The fact that all of the people involved are able to tell you their stories pretty much solidifies that they lived.
That's one of the things that really makes it a great read, IMO. We basically know going in what the deal is, but the human element, and background info, and the Max Brook's mostly excellent choice of narrative voice make it really enjoyable anyway.
Oh,is that what that was all about? That part confused me, cause that was like halfway through the book, and after that he still went on to team up with Robbie Burns and Emilia Earhardt to fight the zombie martians.
I'm giving you a five-minute headstart...
