I have been a long time fan of Zombies, when the first movie came out my mom put it on TV and it automatically hooked me.
This movie wasn't as better as the other sequels but it was... okay...
First, I have to start out on the acting. The main characters, like Zed, Addison, Willa, Eliza, Nova and Victor were amazing acting. But for Ray and Vera, I felt like neither of the actors really knew what was going on. I did however laugh for than I have in the other movies, in previous movies Zed will make a joke and it'll get a scoff then move on, but in this movie they stepped up their game and I genuinely enjoyed the jokes.
The songs were very ambitious, to say the least. The timing was shocking but it also seemed stupid, there was many points in the movie I thought they'd put a song, since it seemed like it'd fit, but they didn't. The songs were poorly placed and poorly written. I just could get into the lyrics or the beat, sequel songs are never as good as the originals but this was actually very shocking at how badly the music was produced.
I also have to say, the storyline started out very weak in the beginning. Two towns, once friends, now enemies, a very cliche trope. But it did get better throughout the story, making a stronger base to the storyline. The plot was still very much a cliche though. Two sides, once friends, now enemies, two people trying to bring them together but the leaders just won't allow it.
I also thought they made the original characters way less important, we got no seabrook at all, only a few mentions of their friends back at home and how monsters are included into the world now. What really shocked me was how in the beginning it was all about the main characters and throughout the movie it started to push them to the back and make them more of side characters than the foundation of what Zombies is.
I will say, it was better than I thought it was going to be, but my standard for disney is pretty low right now, due to the amount of bad movies they've been coming out with. I loved Zombies 1 and 2 so much, 3 was okay, and 4 is lower than that. I don't expect every single sequel to be incredible, they are sequels afterall, but I really think ANOTHER movie is not nessecary (Considering the scene on the beach with Nova and Victor it seems there will be a new movie). Even if they do come out with another movie I think it should be their last.
Overall, it was a good movie, not as good as I'd hoped, especially considering how plain the soundtrack is, but it wasn't terrible.
(Also wanted to bring up the car flipping scene, which was very stupid.
1) It was so obviously a green screen and looked like a kid made it.
2) Nothing on the car broke, nobody was injured, not even the glass shattered. With how many times that car flipped the glass would be gone and the roof would be caved in even if its just a little bit.
3) They slid out like it was no issue, it would've been harder to get out of that car due to being upside down, but they did it like it was an everyday occurrence.
Overall, it was unrealistic and stupid.)
