Entertainment Weekly
Don't leave before the final frame -- if you're still breathing. - 75
Miami Herald
Faster, leaner and more compact than the original. Dumber, too, but that's almost always the case with remakes. - 75
Philadelphia Inquirer
This film plays out like one of those trigger-happy video games -- it's all cranial splatter. Word to the squeamish: Dawn of the Dead merits a very hard R rating. The depictions of violence are exceedingly graphic. - 70
Film Threat
First time director Zack Snyder has done an amazing job of creating a sense of doom and dread while sprinkling it with some wicked humor and amazing music. - 50
Charlotte Observer
The new Dawn of the Dead moves along with speed and slick visual style, but it's soulless and anonymous as -- well, a shopping mall. - 50
Christian Science Monitor
Horror buffs will find plenty of split-second suspense and in-your-face carnage, while others will scramble for the exit as quickly as the characters race away from their apocalyptic foes. - 50
TV Guide Magazine
A buzzed-up gloss on the original, it's entertaining -- if fundamentally shallow. - 50
New York Post
It's mindless entertainment, so take it or leave it.
