ARMY OF THE DEAD First Reactions Praise Netflix Zombie Movie As "Zack Snyder's Finest Work To Date"

The first reactions to Zack Snyder's Army of The Dead have hit social media, and the Justice League director's return to the zombie horror genre is being praised as his "finest work to date."

Though full reviews are still under embargo (it lifts tomorrow), the first reactions to Zack Snyder's zombie heist movie Army of the Dead have hit Twitter, and they are very positive indeed.

We've learned to be a little wary of these initial social media takes at this stage (they are very rarely, if ever, negative), but it does sound like Snyder's return to the genre after his well-regarded Dawn of the Dead remake is a major success.

The movie's ensemble cast comes in for a lot of praise, as does the use of "bonkers" humor and several "terrifying" set pieces. One critic calls Army of the Dead "Zack Snyder's finest work to date."

Check out the reactions below.

Again, it's probably best not to put too much stock in these Tweets, as the full reviews are likely to be more... let's say balanced. Still, if Army of the Dead proves to be even half as entertaining as these reactions suggest, we should be in for a hell of a time when the movie hits Netflix on the 21st.

Absolutely believe that this is an objectively good movie. His Dawn of the Dead is a great picture. Can't wait for it.

Not a hard statement to believe it's "Zack Snyder's Finest Work To Date". Dawn of the Dead was pretty good and everything else has been a gradual descent into the shitter. A movie like this seems more in the wheelhouse of his sensibilities. Kudos that he's doing something original and not bastardizing other people's work.

@inkniron - in your opinion ofcourse which I thoroughly respect... I personally however think Dawn of the Dead, 300, Watchmen, Legends of the Guardians, Man of Steel and ZSJL are all solid films. BvS was extremely disappointing although I’ve grown to like the ultimate cut of it.. and never saw Sucker Punch.

See the problem with reactions to Snyder's movies now is that you don't know if they're genuine or simply out of fear of getting mobbed online by his cult.

@RageDriver2401 - I don't think they really give a shit about that...it has more to do with being negative about a movie the studio granted you early access to for the sole purpose of getting positive early word out. It's difficult to take any pre "press screening" reactions at face value. Not saying they're exaggerating THIS time, but it's hard to know.

@RorMachine - that makes sense as well.

@RageDriver2401 - I know a few reviewers who skipped reviewing ZSJL over the cult's bullshit.

Synder makes good stuff as long as he stays away from beloved properties.

Early reviews always trust worthy. Sounds like a great comedy. I will see it this Friday at the theaters.
