Warm Bodies Review

I was so excited to see Warm Bodies. I read the book and won this really awesome prize pack, and was obsessed with the story. When I finally saw it, I was pretty impressed.

Warm Bodies is short and sweet. It is a love story, but it is so much more than that. It is about a zombie named R who walked around in a airport wearing the same jeans and hoodie everyday (in the book he wears a bright red tie). He is one of the only zombies that has a very good ability- thinking. The whole story is told from his pov. R falls in love with a human, and vows to protect her and they both realize that love is curing him in some way and making him more human.

I think the concept is amazing for this movie, of how zombies can be cured by love. I also thought this movie was hilarious, even though it went with the whole "end of the world theme".

The acting was very well done considering I just found out that Nicholas Hoult (R) is british. So basically he has to fake an a mercian-zombie accent and did it flawlessly. Also he conveyed so many "Zombie emotions" very well. Teresa Palmer also did a very good job portraying Julie (she had an accent as well). One of the best acting jobs was the actress who played Nora,Analeigh Tipton. The way her personality was described in the book totally suited her character, and the actress pulled it off well.

If you are saying to yourself " this is just another twilight wannabe movie" you are deadly wrong. This movie may cover the supernatural aspect of twilight, and the zombie may be pale but you are nothing close. If this movie would be compared to anything it would be romeo and juliet (get it? R and Julie). Some of the Romeo and Juliet scenes were mimicked in this movie, but otherwise the concept was very original.

Overall, I did enjoy the book more than the movie, but I was still impressed with the movie and would recommend it to anyone. B+
