Movie Review: Warm Bodies

The movie Warm Bodies takes place during the Zombie Apocalypse where one zombie known as R falls in love with a human girl named Julie. The relationship between R and Julie cause side effects in R that makes them think they might just have a way to rid the Zombie Apocalypse after all.

I'll admit that I wasn't too keen on the idea of this movie. I saw the trailer and instantly thought "Great! A zombie version of Twilight." I decided to give it a try just for the fact that it was about zombies, with me being a Necrophiliac I couldn't say no. ;)I didn't have very high expectations about this movie because the idea of zombie love is kind of cheesy. The zombie, R was played by Nicholas Hoult (X-MEN: FIRST CLASS) he did a pretty good job. His acting wasn't spectacular but it wasn't bad like Kristen Stewart.

Julie was played by Teresa Palmer (TAKE ME HOME TONIGHT) I really like her. She's so pretty and she doesn't come off as a stuck up Hollywood snob (not yet, that is.) I do enjoy her acting and think she's a very talented actress and I can see her making it big. The supporting cast of the movie also held their own and did a good job. Julie's friend Nora played by Analeigh Tipton wasn't too bad. According to IMDB, she placed third in cycle 11 of America's Next Top Model. I don't know why but I had a good giggle from that.

Julie's boyfriend Perry played by Dave Franco was okay. In my opinion I think he did the worse out of everyone in the movie. His performance wasn't memorable and it made me feel like he was in the middle of trying too hard and not trying hard enough. Wasn't my favorite. R's zombie friend M who was played by Rob Corddry did a great job. He was very funny in the movies WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS & HOT TUB TIME MACHINE, so it was nice to see the same funny guy in this movie. Julie's dad who is played by John Malkovich did a great job at playing the over bearing tool father. Even though he wasn't bad I still liked him better in the movie RED.

I enjoyed this movie a lot and had a fun time watching it. It wasn't the greatest movie ever like everyone on Facebook claims but it wasn't terrible and it was a fun movie. I was very impressed at how well they made this movie without making it super cheesy. The soundtrack was awesome and the fight scenes between the zombies were kind of cool. It had a lot of funny parts that had me laughing but it wasn't like 'laugh out loud till you pee your pants' funny. I kept anticipating when they were going to throw in the term Necrophilia in there because of the relationship between a zombie and a living person. They didn't. :/ It doesn't take a lot to please me and make me happy or even amuse me for that matter but yet they continue to not do it. Jerks.

All in all this was a very fun movie and I enjoyed it a lot. I might even watch it again. If you're looking for a fun, entertaining movie that feeds your hunger for horror/zombies then I recommend this movie. You'll have a good time. I give this movie 4 out of 5 Skulls.
