9.5/10. I thought the idea was pretty good as was the Shakespeare idea. A zombie take on Romeo And Juliet's pretty clever. This is also the one and only time I can stand John Malkovich. Here Nicholas Hoult and Teresa Palmer prove quite believable as the star crossed lovers. You can't help but like them as I did. They seemed to be the stand ins for any couple such as mixed ones. It's got charm, pretty good story, pretty good acting. This was one of 2013's best movies.I enjoyed this movie.
R: They call these guys Bonies. They don't bother us, much, but they'll eat anything with a heartbeat. I mean, I will too, but at least I'm conflicted about it.
Trivia: Warm Bodies actually has tons of references to Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, it is kind of a modern adaptation. The zombie, R(omeo), falls in love with the human girl Julie(t). An impossible love, as both “species” fight against each other. Julie has an Italian last name, Grigio, has a boyfriend, Perry, who represents Paris from Romeo and Juliet. But there is another similarity that makes it much more obvious: Ever thought about the scene at Julie’s home, where she is standing on her balcony and looking down to R? And suddenly, Nora (who obviously represents the nurse) shows up? We know that scene very well. And finally, their love unites zombies and humans and stops their war. Fortunately, the ending is not inspired by the play .
