One of the funniest films i have ever seen, intentional or not. i especially love the care taken over props and weapons to make it seem like something that could happen. The inclusion of RPS (Rocket Proppeled Steam)at the end. this is a new age weapon and i am glad to see they had the cgi capability to pull it off. i enjoyed the fact that, if anything, it cleaned the man who was firing it was amazing to me whilst tearing osama apart.i was shocked at the amount of money that had seemed to be pumped into this film. the inclusion of countless helicopters and Ac130s was exciting to me, the question is who got the 11 kill streak? this was the only flaw.. i only counter 10 kills. the constant breaking of the fourth wall unintentionally made the whole experience very real to me.the story line was kept compelling and interesting with very real characters. The writers kept me hooked with the references to pokemon, facebook and 9/11 was a common theme. this kept it up to date, and i was on the edge of my seat waving the stars and stripes throughout. 10/10 must see

If you like bad movies, you won't like Osombie, but hey! If you think Ewe Boll is a genius and ahead of his time, then you'll love this movie.If you know anything about military tactics, this movie will offend your sensibilities. If your military experience comes entirely from media, this movie will still offend your sensibilities. This group of soldiers, purportedly Army Rangers, utilize the "rush into the center of a hoard of zombies and fire in all directions" combat method. They don't hold a line. They rush to melee range to shoot .50 BMGs from the hip. In their defense, they never look surprised when someone is bitten, which is at almost every encounter. Interestingly, the meat head who likes to fight zombies half naked shows impressive survivability.The dialogue is horrid. Whoever wrote it tried to cram in every colloquial metaphor they'd ever heard in a tragic failure to sound cool. I could forgive "Tomboy's" flawless makeup in every scene and the fact that everyone looks clean and well-fed in spite of daily temperatures in excess of 120 degrees Fahrenheit and near-freezing nights in Afghanistan, but the dialogue is just so, so bad.This movie exists as a vehicle to hamfistedly deliver us to cliché zombie movie moments, which are then poorly executed. The only reason so many people have heard of it is due to its exploitation of one of the most reviled men in history.Good sets, good costumes, good props, a very nice camera, and actors that I believe could have delivered if given literally anything to work with... It just breaks my heart that the makings of a great movie were in place, and the people running the show produced this tripe.

While I enjoy Zombie and gore movies as much as the other guy, I also appreciate some cinematic finesse thrown in. Unfortunately Osombie tries to survive on a single interesting idea with flat characters and an even flatter story. The movie itself is quickly summarized, Osama Bin Laden supposedly "alive" as a Zombie, guy goes to kill him, his sister goes after him and meets some soldiers along the way in a zombie- infested Afghanistan. While this might be a lot of fun (think Dead Snow) it is not since the action is poorly dramatized, you never really feel that there is any real threat coming from the zombs. Also none of the characters offer any particularly likable traits why you would root for them.Overall this movie was uninspired and while it had some nice CGIs and obviously some budget it really failed to create a story arc that would allow me to call this flick entertaining.
... View MoreI thoroughly enjoyed this zombie film and the first thing i have to say is how refreshing it was to watch men taking tops off rather then the typical dumb blonde with fake tits! The acting was superb and there was no shaky camera (what most low budget films have) and the make up/effects on the zombies was brilliant! The storyline was well thought out and as i said earlier the actors were brilliant. Lots of bloody gore and heads being blown off! Throughly entertaining and enjoyable to watch! Very reasonable to buy and will be one that i will keep and watch again. Recommended to family and friends and all horror fans that want to watch a gory bloody zombie film with (for a change) no sex or nudity or bad swearing! A*
