I think if Romero was able to make Diary Of The Dead with the budget he had for Land Of The Dead it would've been epic. We'll never know for sure, but my hat's off to George for releasing a movie that he had a good time directing. Good for him...
Land was bad also IMO. So with a big budget he fails. With his usual low budget he fails. G.R. has lost his touch. He has for some time IMO. I hope I don't offend anyone who likes the film but I just feel that Nobody with give this film a second thought. If this was the same movie only called Uwe boll's Diary of the Dead, people would be screaming how bad it was. Sorry I just feel that horror fans can't help but want to like whatever George puts out. I use to. But after these past two dead films I jus can't do it anymore.
I'm going to have to ask that you kindly refrain from using George's name in the same context as Uwe Boll. That's fucking blashemy. While LOTD and Diary are both lackluster when compared to certain films they're both head and shoulders above ANYTHING that Uwe Boll has ever or will ever do. Land Of The Dead being a failure is just an opinion that hold as well my friend. While you may not like it, the film was far from a failure. Land Of The Dead grossed somewhere in the neighborhood of 46 million dollars. That's hardly a failure no matter how you look at it.
One thing that George has going for him is that he's got not one, but two timeless classics under his belt. The fact that he continues to work in the twilight years of his life is pretty fascinating as well. IMO Romero is among pretty prestigious company in the world of horror cinema. He is an icon...
