So maybe it's really a 9 or 10? C'mon Mojo, err on the side of overexuberance!mojo1701 said:

Just saw it last night. Wonderful, wonderful film. Especially in the first part where all the clues that society is just falling apart around him and he's too wrapped up in his own concerns (like most people). 
At the end, the 'what happens after' parts were brilliant. We watched the extended scenes, the outtakes, everything. Esp. neat was the 'plot holes' section, where they fill in bits.

Just watched it on DVD.
Excellent film. Had subtle comedy, in-your-face comedy, some real emotion (Ed's final stand was great and the mother scene almost drew tears) and solid action and fights.
Gave it a 9. Why not a 10? I dunno. I reserve 10's for films like Pulp Fiction, LotR (3 combined), Star Wars, Braveheart, Dark City & Clerks. I guess I don't give out 10's until I know a film can be watched 10+ times and still rock/move/entertain me. Yeah, that's it.
Either way, one of the best films released in 2004.

Let me start out by saying that I HATE violent and gory horror movies and in general, do not watch them. Because incredible cruelty and bloody violence are not my idea of Entertainment.
However, I recently rented Shaun of the Dead mostly because of what I'd heard about it here and a few other places.
I loved it. Great "spoof" (if you want to call it that). Loved the beginning bits where I'd almost go; "there's a zombie!....oh no, it's just someone zoning out." Like on the bus. Great commentary on how we spend our lives.
I work nights (midnight to 8am) at a Kmart Distribution Center. People, if the World Ending Plague (tm) or something like this happens, DO NOT go to your local mall or grocery store. Find one of these places and hole up. Miles and miles of everything you'd find at your local retail store. Pallets upon pallets of bottled water, toilet paper, soap, clothing, etc, etc.
And lots of forklifts and carts to ride around in!
