I agree on the basis that classics are defined by reception and not if they are any good or not, like how Birth of a Nation was for a while considered basically the best movie ever.
It’s a perfectly fine zombie movie, but it only takes small elements from the excellent book. The book needs to be a TV series, made in a documentary style. I just pretend the movie is unrelated; it’s enjoyable as just a standard action movie with zombies in it.
It would have been so easy to do a straight up adaptation of the battle of Yonkers, narrated by Mark Hamill, his two following parts, and a few of the smaller stories here and there to flesh things out, too…
World War Z. Not a classic book, but still…Wtf.
World War Z has NEVER been made into a film!
World War Z is absolutely a modern classic. You can just tell when people are going to be talking about a book a hundred or so years later.
Shit-ass politics though.

Yeah, 10 part mini series! Could be amazing.

At least it got the perfect audiobook adaptation.
