Bull$#!+

Romero specifically leaves out WHY the zombies are showing up in his movies, if it's radiation, plague or whatever, he simply doesn't say.

And I've never heard of Zombie's that are capable of hating, like the infected boy said in 28 days later "I hate you" while attacking a person.
Which means the boy has a conscious. Romero's first zombies had no consciousness whatsoever! And the newer zombie movie which you refered to was just a cheap way, to do something new to the Zombie genre, like learning and reasoning. Which in the first place was never the trademark and appeal of the genre.

It's the trademark of Romero that his zombies progress on a step-by-step mental evolution throughout his movies.

If you can't see that, then you either a} have never watched a Romero movie or b} just are in it to turn off your brain and watch blood and gore. Neither of these options are bad per se, but to talk as if you know Romero's movies like the back of your hand and then miss something so painfully obvious isn't really adding much to the conversation.

And please don't use wikipedia.org, everybody can edit articles there, which
makes it a questionable source.

Take a look at the movie White Zombie. You'll find someone in that movie who is a zombie, who also wasn't irradated or anything of the sort. It's Voodoo man.

And don't call Danny Boyle a moron, that is just low and uncalled for.

Why? Is he going to track me down and go "Christian Bale" on me?
