The Hollywood Reporter
The latest installment could well be Romero's masterpiece. Taking full advantage of state-of-the-art makeup and visual effects, he has a more vivid canvas at his disposal, not to mention two decades worth of pent-up observations about American society. - 100
Chicago Tribune
Romero's newest is a horror movie for hard-core fans of the gory and the gruesome and a classic genre film for genre aficionados. - 100
The New York Times
One of the enormous pleasures of genre filmmaking is watching great directors push against form and predictability, as Mr. Romero does brilliantly in Land of the Dead. One thing is for sure: You won't go home hungry. - 90
Variety
George A. Romero shows 'em how it's done in Land of the Dead, resurrecting his legendary franchise with top-flight visuals, terrific genre smarts and tantalizing layers of implication. - 90
Los Angeles Times
Romero easily commands an enormous cast, a plethora of action sequences and a cornucopia of special effects -- some of them very gory -- and creates one darkly dazzling image after another that allows Land of the Dead to emerge without any nudging whatsoever as a bleakly humorous, hard-charging allegory. - 83
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
The social commentary isn't subtle, but Romero delivers the goods so effectively that many won't even notice. - 75
Philadelphia Inquirer
Oddly enough, though Land of the Dead is more clever and grand than Romero's early classics, it is not as haunting. - 63
ReelViews
It's not startling or frightening enough.
