Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead

Just fun and entertaining - quite bunker at time

I liked a lot this zombie movie. It is not subtle at all in the message it tries to convey but I found it quite relevant in the current society. A job that transforms you in a zombie and that traps you despite of you wanting anything but that. I like the bucket list of the main character and the way he faced head on the situation.

The cast did a good job carrying this rather unserious story. Maybe it could have been better for some of the emotional scenes. But well, difficult to do much more with all the craziness that was happening at the same time. It was clearly aiming at comedy rather than horror. I was never scared at any point. And I will always remember a particularly dumb action plot in the aquarium.

I would recommend this to people looking for a fun action movie. Was it absurd at a lot of time ? Yes. Did I raise my eyebrow more and more as the plot progressed ? Yes. Was it entertaining? Yes. It is much more a comedy than anything else, it has a cartoonish feel to it, so if you are looking for something scary and serious, this is definitely not the movie to watch.

Zombieshark?!

Okay I had no idea what I was expecting when I watched this show. I came for Eiji Akaso and was hit with something crazier.

The makeup in this movie is amazing! The zombies look insane and to be honest, I actually watched this movie in two parts. I felt sick looking at these zombies and had to resume it later. Maybe I just have a really weak stomach but their faces are awesome.

The visuals of this movie aswell as the makeup are great too. The colours are vibrant and they look so cool because they all contrast well with eachother. Even though I haven't watched the anime, from what I've seen, they match the animation well.

I wasn't expecting to see some naked zombies but we'll overlook that because I felt so bad for Akira when his office romance went straight out the window! However, with his other relationships, it was great to see them grow throughout the show. The same with Akira himself, he really developed and overcame the trauma of his failed football game. I mean, I was never expecting him to use that to fuel his fight against a zombie shark but it was great character development!

At the end of the movie, Akira was happy, I was happy and everyone was happy really. To be honest, you'd have never thought there was a zombie infection going around since it ended so positively!

I don't think I'll watch the anime but if you can pack this much into a movie and still make it incredible then what's the need to? Watch the movie Zom 100 right now!!

Light Hearted Zombie Movie

This movie is a fun watch not to be taken very seriously. It is a perfect movie for those who do not want to be scared as it is quite comedic.
Some of the story becomes quite absurd at the end. However there are some good life lessons to take away. The main character is really relatable. He hates his job and his boss is awful which I'm sure many people can relate to. The apocalypse helps Tendou to free himself and find what he really enjoys in life.
I really love Akaso Eiji and he did an amazing job in this role portraying a happy go lucky guy that is on his way through self discovery.
I am rating this movie low because the behavior of the zombies were not as good as some other zombie movies I have seen and some plot points in the movie were really ridiculous. But as a comedic movie it was pretty good.
If you want a light hearted zombie movie that's not scary this is the one for you!

The part that a lot of people liked....I didn't?

I liked this movie because Akira keeps an upbeat attitude, even during an apocalypse. He looks toward the future with hope. I liked the bucket list and how it started with something as simple as 'clean my room.' Watching him chuck garbage out the window was amazing.

We're not gonna ask how the hell they managed to go paragliding. I'll assume they passed a store with the surf board things on the way to the lake. The way Akira lit up with such innocent joy at the sight of the camper and loved it so much was wonderful. Like, all of his dreams were coming true.

I wasn't a huge fan of the flight attendants, but the end of the world makes people do things, okay? Whatever. And some of the choices that were made were dumb--like throwing away your best weapon and for some reason not wearing Kevlar anymore? Or the movie broke its own rules--why did the zombies in the store follow them outside if the fireworks were still going? Why were no zombies attracted to the motorcycle sounds but followed the speaker? But I can ignore that for the sake of a good time.

The run through the street to get to the love motel was a wonderful, epic shot. Shizuka's final fight with -sound- was also epically shot. The message about living your life to the fullest was great. Akira became a flipping Kamen Rider at the end. Like, what~

I hated the zombie shark. And I've seen several comments that said the shark was their favorite part. It was my least favorite bit used in the movie. The shark being a zombie 1) didn't make sense, as no other animals were shown to be zombies or even suggested that they COULD become zombies and 2) it fucking grew human legs from the people it had eaten. Since when did a zombie virus give creatures the ability to mass alter their biological structure?

Literally give me the whole movie but without the shark and I would've adored it. The shark dragged down the Story and Rewatch Value of the movie for me.

a fun movie for the weekend

Never did I imagine I’d get to see all in one movie until I started this one. I actually started the anime, but only a few episodes came out since it’s getting delayed every now and then. So, this movie was a fun watch and got me hooked up since the start. It’s starts on a serious note, then we quickly get into the story with the zombies. Well, despite all that entertainment, the story got messy and ridiculous around the end, but still a very good watch. Also, that sh**k scene got me screaming and laughing hahaha.

It’s a 6.5/10 for me.

Check it out!

eu preferia vira zumbi a voltar a ver esse filme

fiquei tão ansioso quando vi o trailer de lançamento e estava com bastante expectativa então se você quer ver esse filme já deixo avisado baixe totalmente a expectativa.

eiji eu vi esse filme por você anjo, mas também porque sou fã de filmes de zumbi até que os zumbis aqui são maneiros e tals mas a forma de como eles lutam contra o zumbi deixando os praticamente vivos é super sem sentido, além dos personagens serem irritantes ao extremo que você se faz perguntar toda hora como estão vivos ainda...

akira ser um personagem otimista em um mundo apocalipse FICA TÃO FORA DE TOM como as piadas feitas também, acho que não funcionou como live action deveria ter deixado só a adaptação do anime mesmo que por sinal comecei a ver e está bem bonito mas a historia continua sendo ruim ao meu ver.

NÃO RECOMENDO, mas se gosta de um besteirol sem muita preocupação do que estão enfrentando pode ir na fé.

Não crie expectativas

Se você não tem intenção de assistir ao anime, provavelmente você vai se identificar com o protagonista em alguns aspectos e se divertir ao assistir esse filme. A história é interessante e te faz refletir sobre quem são os verdadeiros zumbis - eles ou nós que vivemos apenas para trabalhar, trabalhar e trabalhar.

Mas, o lançamento do filme ter sido feito ao mesmo tempo em que o anime está sendo lançado na Netflix foi um tremendo tiro no pé. Estragou completamente a experiência. Além de tomar spoilers sobre a história, é inevitável a comparação entre as duas produções - e o anime está muito a frente em questão de detalhes da história e alívio cômico. Se você ainda não assistiu o anime, assista a esse filme primeiro e depois divirta-se de verdade com o anime.

Comédie horrifique absurde (avec un requin-zombie et ça, c'est un grand oui !)

À la fois drôle, absurde et horrifique, Zom 100 se présente comme un film tourné vers la comédie avant tout avec sa pointe de gore. Cela dit, il renferme aussi quelques faits de société (l'usure et la pression au travail, par exemple).

Akira est usé par son nouveau travail et son employeur qui semble prendre un plaisir malsain à le torturer de la sorte. On le voit lentement prendre l'apparence d'un zombie, l'envie de sanquette en moins. Jusqu'au matin où une épidémie de putréfiés ravage la ville... Sans trop chercher à faire dans la finesse, Ishida Yusuke nous montre l'explosion de joie d'Akira lorsqu'il réalise ne pas avoir besoin d'aller au boulot (ce qui explique les affiches colorés). Et ces couleurs, on va les retrouver sur une bonne première partie du film où l'accent sera comédie et absurde amusant.

Akaso Eiji est un bon acteur qui est capable de transmettre l'humour d'une situation ou d'une réflexion sans paraître lourd ou forcé. Ce qui donne toute sa saveur au personnage d'Akira. D'un homme usé, on nous dévoile une toute nouvelle facette, celle d'un homme heureux et optimiste.

Bien qu'agréable, je reproche un manque de fond. Une fois la situation bien placée, les scènes se suivent sans trop d'intérêt. Le seul but étant d'arriver jusqu'à l'aquarium et l'entrée du fameux requin-zombie. Si vous aimez la comédie horrifique absurde et loufoque, alors vous passerez un bon moment. En revanche, si vous souhaitez un scénario cohérent et rien qui ne sorte de l'ordinaire dans un film ce genre, vous pourriez ne pas apprécier.

Mention spéciale à l'esthétique des zombies. Cela dit, sur le plan du poutrage de zombies, je ne suis pas totalement satisfaite. J'aime les effusions de sang, les crânes explosés et tout ce qui implique des putréfiés traînant la patte avec des râles parfois effrayants. Mais c'est une passion comme une autre et je pense, pour cette raison, me tourner vers l'anime qui de toute façon me faisait de l'œil depuis un moment.

Bref, tout dépendra de vos attentes. Zom 100 se révèle dynamique dans son montage avec des personnages simples, mais qui tiennent la route et renforcé par un casting solide. A la fois drôle et absurde, je suis venue pour les zombies, je suis restée pour le requin-zombie et l'ambiance.

Jimmy, fais moi un film avec RIEN

(Considérez la note de la musique comme caduque, je ne veut pas la noter mais c'est la règle sur ce site).

Je ne vois vraiment pas l'intérêt du film. Si vous ne connaissez pas, Zom 100 est à l'origine un manga, ayant par ailleurs eu droit à un anime, que j'ai regardé. Mon avis sur le film est du à la comparaison entre celui-ci et la série.

Le principe de Zomm 100, c'est de proposer une vision assez décalée, originale et hilarante d'une apocalypse zombie, où Akira, le héros, émet une liste de 100 choses à faire avant de finir zombifié. C'est accompagné d'un humour permanente et des situations barrées qui font rire alors que le danger demeure.

Et c'est là tout le problème du film : en dehors de quelques moments, il a complètement ôté le côté déjanté de l'œuvre originale. Genre à un moment dans l'anime, Kencho, le pote d'Akira, se fout à poil pour attirer des zombies. Ca sort de nulle part, c'est con, mais c'est vraiment drôle, et cette scène devient juste banale dans le film (alors qu'elle est importante). L'alchimie entre Akira et Kencho est par ailleurs drastiquement réduite, là où l'anime montre que c'est deux super potes à la compote, le film donne l'impression de deux mecs quasi étrangers, certes justifié par une ancienne dispute, mais qui bouge pas beaucoup.
Résultat, on se retrouve à un film zombie complètement ordinaire, même mauvais puisque ça ne fait même pas peur alors que je suis très impressionnable. Si encore ça proposait une vraie vision horrifique, pourquoi pas, mais au lieu d'une nouvelle proposition, bah on a rien.

Parce que niveau adaptation de l'histoire, le film a des bonnes idées, notamment le fait de lier deux arcs en un (à l'origine, l'aquarium et le camp de réfugiés sont deux histoires différentes). Je ne suis pas un partisan du recopié à 100%, mais le film est juste dénué de toute vie (pourrais je donc dire que j'ai regardé un zombie pendant 2h ? Parce que oui, ça dure 2h tout de même). Je trouve ça d'autant plus stupide de mettre sur Akira l'acteur Eiji Akaso, car n'importe quelle personne (dont moi) qui a regardé Kamen Rider Build vous dira que Ryuga, personnage joué par le-dit acteur, était un personnage extrêmement drôle, soit un choix parfait pour Akira, mais la perte de l'humour rend le choix ingénieux caduque.

Je ne vois vraiment pas à qui le recommander, les fans de l'anime et du manga seront déçus, et je pense que les fans de films de zombie ne trouveront clairement pas leur compte. Je ne déteste pas non plus le film, tout n'est pas à jeter, y a des bon moments, les effets pratiques sont bien travaillés, mais je ne peux qu'être triste sur un tel potentiel gâché.

Ho iniziato questo film pensando avesse la solita trama da zombie film con un pizzico di commedia ma cazzo non mi aspettavo fosse così bello e pazzo.
Adesso che l’ho visto, i film a tema zombie che pensavo fossero fantastici non li vedo più con gli stessi occhi.
Di per sé l'evoluzione di questo film si può descrivere in quattro fasi:
-la fase iniziale: in cui vediamo come un ambiente negativo possa influenzare quello che siamo. Tendo è una persona luminosa, ottimista e buona ma quel posto di lavoro assurdo l’ha reso diversissimo, un Tendo differente, in stato di sopravvivenza e con una mente pessimista. Questo mi ha fatto ragionare molto perchè anch’io mi trovo in questo tipo di situazione.
-la fase del “facciamo quello che vogliamo": in cui hanno fatto tutte quelle attività col camper. Penso sia stata una fase molto molto bella perchè hanno deciso di non farsi sopraffare da tutta la situazione ma godersi il presente al meglio. Mi ha trasmesso un senso di libertà e felicità.
-la fase dell’acquario: loro pensavano che lì sarebbero stati bene se solo non fosse che quel posto era stato preso dal capo di Tendo, ciò lo ha riportato alla fase iniziale per questo ho amatissimo la ragazza per avergli fatto aprire gli occhi.
Qui poi è tutto uscito pazzo perché da un film che racconta le avventure di tre ragazzi che sopravvivono alla pandemia zombie, si è passati a un film di supereroi. Tendo si è letteralmente unito ai Power Rangers e ha salvato tutti. Da qui si è visto in primis tutto l’altruismo di Tendo che ha deciso di salvare quel coglione del suo ex capo (io l'avrei lasciato lì ad essere divorato da quel coso), e si è visto anche tutto il suo coraggio.
Per non parlare di quanto ho riso quando sono usciti i piedi delle persone da quello squalo, è letteralmente la cosa più pazza che abbia mai visto; che poi ho riso un botto anche per la dinamica di tutta la situazione, in particolar modo quando Tendo ha generato la scossa elettrica mi è sembrato un totale Power Ranger, assolutamente assurdo.
-infine, la fase finale: in cui finalmente quel coglione dell’ex capo viene lasciato a marcire da solo (così si rende conto che non può usare le persone) e i tre sono partiti per le loro avventure.

In generale, ho amato come durante tutto il film hanno descritto i personaggi nelle loro caratteristiche e ho amato come Tendo sia sempre stato altruista e coraggioso.
Ho amato anche l’idea del diario sulle “100 cose da fare prima di diventare zombie", ho pensato fosse veramente una bella idea.
Sono sincera poi se dico che mi piacerebbe tanto avere un continuo delle loro avventure.
Questo film, rispetto agli altri incentrati sugli zombie, era sicuramente meno serio riguardo al questione zombie perché non abbiamo visto tutta la situazione delle autorità che aiutano eccetera; diciamo che questo film è più incentrato sull’intrattenimento attraverso la comicità e anche solo il fatto di come stessero camminando per la città piena di zombie fregandosene di loro ahahah (per questo mi hanno fatto morire, vorrei questo menefreghismo) ed è anche incentrato sul significato, sulle lezioni che si apprendono guardandolo.
Per tutto questo e per molto altro lo trovo assolutamente fantastico e quindi lo consiglio con tutta me stessa.
