Seriously, are the zombies too stupid to find the brain? Are they too weak to crack open the skull?

    Yeah, it wasn’t made very obvious that it was a sequel to Night of the Living Dead unless you knew the behind-the-scenes stuff. Even for those who were aware, like myself, the first “… of the Dead” movie I saw was the remake of “Dawn” and that is too different from the original series to be comparable. I went into Land of the Dead expecting something similar to the remake but it was really jarring and hurt my first impression of the film. I was expecting gritty realism but instead got Romero’s classic social commentary and subtle goofiness. I’ve since come to appreciate both.
