Zombieland: Greatest Zombie flick ever?

No, I don't believe it is, but I was very impressed at how it delivered a fun experience condensed into less than two hours; it kept up a rhythm of revelations and zombie-killings so as to not bore the audience, and they succeeded. 
 
Do you (yes, you!) have any thoughts on it, besides OMG IT WAS COOL? As for me, the actor cameo was hilarious. Too bad s/he got killed off so quickly.

Zombieland was a very diverting movie, but in no way is it even close to being the "Greatest Zombie flick ever". It's not even the greatest zombie comedy (or "zomedy", as I like to call them). That honor belongs to Shawn of the Dead.

Zombieland just beats out Shaun of the Dead for me because it's a more fun movie. 

It's definitely a "fun" zombie movie, one that's probably more accessible to a mass audience. 
As for greatest?  No, not even close.  Shaun of the Dead I felt was funnier AND more true to the zombie sub-genre, and the George A. Romero movies are pretty much the standard for zombie movies. 
Still pretty good, though.

i really enjoyed the movie i thought it was like shaun od the dead. it was just really great movie. 
 
i made a thread i think it might be on the second page of me saying i saw zombieland.

hmmm i liked it ti was good, but it wasn't the best, the story sort of fell a little towards the end, and as soon as the girls showed it was like retardation spread around even to the girls them selves.  I mean damn the guys kept getting screwed over by the girls then it spread to the girls...

I really enjoyed Z-land. I felt like there very few if any needless or wasteful shots. I actually walked out of the theater wanting maybe another ten to twenty minutes, which I find rare. Also don't let the trailers fool you, this movie has some quite gory moments. However with the comedic approach they took with this zombie flick, the gore never feels excessive or brutal for the sake of brutal. Also...  
 

Oh man,

" @WilliamRLBaker: If they covered all the rules, I'm sure it'd get annoying as shit. They covered the most important and most relevant ones. That's that.  And the first spoiler, a complete WTF moment: agreed. "

While fun, I think it's a shame the Zombie genre has become so campy, I guess it was inevitable though. Gimme some guns, soldiers and zombies any day.

Zombieland is a very enjoyable romp, but in no way the best zombie film ever. Note even remotely fucking close. Anyone who feels it's the greatest zombie flick ever either huffs jenkem, hasn't seen many zombie movies, or is one of those idiots who goes around calling every movie they've seen the "greatest movie ever!" . . . until the next movie they watch.

No, I'm afraid greatest zombie flick ever goes to 28 Days Later. 
 

I found that there was a pretty substantial lack of zombies. I thought it would be more about how they come up with unique ways to kill them (hence the trailers emphasizing the "Zombie Kill of the Week"). Woody and Bill Murray were the redeeming aspects of that movie.

I enjoyed it a bunch, though it could've been 45 minutes longer.

I too felt it was a bit short. I enjoyed it, even though it was by no means great cinema.

Too short, but loved the cameo although I don't get why he would do what he did :P. I mean... Yeah.

Not zombies -- infected! Actually, for that matter, there are no zombies in Zombieland, either as they too are merely infected.  And as Max Brooks himself said "there are two kinds of zombies -- the slow moving zombies based on the scientific principal of necrotic flesh and cold circulatory systems slowing their movement . . . and the stupid ones". "

I agree that Zombieland is better than Shaun of the Dead (especially the pacing's better) but I wouldn't say it's the best zombie flick ever. Are you saying you're discounting [REC] or Dawn of the Dead?
