Went to the Movies: World War Z

Not entirely what I was expecting.  Though to be fair I didn't know what to expect with this one.

Additional thoughts: this movie gets a pass when it comes to not sticking 100% to the story for a number of reasons.  1) it was well acted.  2) there was a coherent story.  3) good pacing.  Also, just the way the book was written it was going to be impossible to put even 1/4 of everything from the book in this movie.  The way the movie ends has nothing to do with the book.  In truth, it can be argued that this movie isn't the story of the book.  And it isn't.  It was used as inspirational material for this script.  But this movie is by no means is the same story as the book.

So, is this a good zombie movie?  Yes.  Is it a good adaptation of the book.  NO!  Fans of the book will probably not like this movie.  But Film Crazy Adam approves and recommends this movie.
