Warm bodies review :spoilers:

So out of curiosity i decide to watch a zombie love story.
I honestly don't do the necrophilia thing
:TWILIGHT SUCKS: 
:Yes I HAVE seen the movie, THEREFORE I have the right to talk about how shitty it is:

Anyway! I went out to see it. Mainly because Nicholas Hoult was in it and i wanted to see this movie first before seeing Jack the Giant Slayer. Looks like a good actor. Looks like a cute guy. Was in Xmen first class. Oh he has a natural ENGLISH ACCENT?? Ok I'm in!

So. Before i go into extreme details about the tiny stuff, let me just say.. that it was actually not so bad! Was really really cute! I like how at the beginning they kinda establish his character with R narrating what goes on in his head (habits, behaviours, thought process...which is really ironic because zombies can't use their brains).

So he plays this zombie named R. R doesn't remember his name but he knows it began with an R. he collects ALL OF THE SHINY stuff, vinyl, and other stuff. there was this once scene where he brought into his air plane house a silver snow globe (with a couple holding hands) and it was just when he kidnapped the girl. and it was kinda like HE was looking for love.

Nick did a pretty good job of playing the poor guy. i genuinely felt sorry for him! like... here's this girl who is frightened for her life and is being held hostage because he wanted to protect her from the other zombies. you see him trying to get food for her, getting a blanket for her to stay warm, playing music to relax her, giving her a beer from the air plane fridge for her to drink... but it just kinda throws you off because he's DEAD. and he probably reeks of decomposition. (she will eventually have Stockholm syndrome and become mad attached to him. digressing!)

You feel bad for him! Like the part when he eats her bf's brains, but then after the third time he eats it, he spits it out because he was like "WTF AM I DOING!!!" for the rest of the movie he tried to protect her. and then he apologizes to her for eating her boyfriend and he even returned the boyfriend's shiny gold watch and then you feel more bad for the guy because she probably didn't feel anything for him and here he is apologizing and protecting her and trying to bring her home ;__; DAW!
And then when he wanders back and meets his zombie friends who are becoming human too, they ask him if he's ok. and then he responds "no" and he looks like he's crying and whimpering and AWWW ;__; poor R.. and he carried her picture around with him because he loved her (pictures were taken night before. they were taking pics of each other for fun) i think this was the cutest scene for me and the most moving. .... although now that i think about it he still looked scary, and very emo. like if i didnt already feel sorry for him and just went in watching starting from the part where he's walking in the rain, i think i'd be like "OK DAFAQ AM I WATCHING"

A lot of the scenes were funny.. like at the beginning when they were establishing his character... ALSO, a lot of the funny scenes and lines that were used for the trailer WERE in the movie, so those were the most hilarious... especially when he tells her to BE DEAD and he's teaching her now and sticking his arms out xD. and then the girl was teaching him how to drive and he used both feet instead of one x'D
and when she was comparing the zombie blueray movie to him, and putting his collection of sunglasses on him but he didnt wanna wear any of them ahaha...
and when the girls were putting makeup on him and he was protesting "N-N-N-Noooo.." LOL
and when she tells him to "quit shrugging, why do you keep shrugging!"...and he shrugs cuz he doesnt know.. and when she's all like "REALLY?" and he still shrugs LOL....
and when he always gives her these creeper looks when she's eating LOL...
and when he's reading a gossip magazine and kim kardashian is on the cover and he's all like 'dafaq??' and he's all focused  xDDD
there was also this scene where his best friend and him kept grunting at each other for like one minute until one of them said "hungry" and "eat"... his best friend also swore a lot. and at the end of the movie, the best friend was chatting it up with a human woman and he was like 'you're very pretty.... now here's the part where you say I'M pretty too!"

A few times in the movie i kinda wanted to puke... like when R eats her boyfriend's brains. YEECH. (WTF was that thing made out of? it looked like pulverized JELLO).
also when he was trying to smile at her but his teeth were rotting and all bloodied from eating brains. Nasty... but also quite funny to see because he was trying to smile and be nice.
there was also a time where i kinda felt.. confused and also disgusted? like when the girl kisses R near the end and then you still realize "well wait a minute isn't he still a zombie? you're kissing a decaying person who isn't really decaying anymore... oh god why." it's cute.. but mad disgusting.
yeeechh!! i cannot imagine making out with a corpse, tongue action and all... what if his breath stinks? what if there's random maggots in his mouth? then afterwards he became human again so the 2nd kiss wasn't so bad.

I kinda don't feel like reading the book because i dont wanna ruin all the funny scenes... but at the same time i kinda do wanna read to see how dark it is (apparently its VERY dark and the girl is a total bitch)

ummm... oh yeah rating.
I WOULD give this movie... 6/10, mainly because without the funny/cute scenes i probably wouldn't have liked it as much (because i love comedic relief), but also because since its kinda necrophilia-ish and it was a weird concept for me to accept because like i said before... i hate it when there's this lame forbidden love story and then everything ok after, like TWILIGHT or BEAUTIFUL CREATURES. it's like.. very mary-sue.
but i genuinely did enjoy it because you feel bad for R, you're happy for him in the end, and it's not like those movies where you follow a stupid little annoying drama-tastic girl around, you're following a GUY who's feelings are genuine and so simple, and he doesnt make a huge ass fucking deal out of everything like fuckin ERDWURD SPARKLEPANTS CULLEN; Lady sparklepants has a big fucking mansion high up on a mountain, surrounded by wilderness and a shit ton of money, and an emotionless girl actually was crazy enough to like a sparkle-fairy bloodsucker. he has no reason to be emo. HE HAD SEX WITH HER AND HAS A CHILD. good grief!
R HAS a reason to be emo; he doesnt remember his name, where he comes from, who he is although we can kinda assume he was a sit-at-home-unemployed-hoarder who lives on a plane, and he can't even express himself properly! and the girl he like was actually scared shit of him.
R kinda reminded me of Erik. honestly, who can hold the title of a "corpse," hold captive a female whom he loves, pamper the shit out of her, and have her love him in the end? this whole concept reminded me of only Erik... and now R. so i dunno MAYBE i felt sorry for him BECAUSE he reminded me of Erik always pampering christine and all he ever asked was for her not to abandon him?
(ohoh i also recall this cute scene where he was asking her "st-stay togetherr...promise..?" ;___; AWW!!)

and ok, since i ALSO have a slight celebrity crush on nicholas hoult after this movie, i ACTUALLY give it 7/10.
