Those reading the comic will know that to which I am referring.

Sadly, I compared LotD to The Walking Dead and found it lacking. Unfair of me to compare a 90 movie to three trade paperbacks, as the comics have alot more time to cultivate characters and draw you in, but there you have it. Every once in awhile in the movie I found myself wondering why a character was doing somthing. 90 minutes didn't seem like nearly enough time. Didn't Daw and Day run closer to two hours? I think I was more attached to the characters in the Dawn remake (I can't even believe I'm saying that!)
I guess what I'm really trying to say is I agree with Gilda and El Pollo, The Walking Dead rocks.
