My opinion of episode 1 of THE WALKING DEAD
The show started off with what might end up being a controversial, but yet extremely poignant scene. The acting and dialogue was incredibly well written. All the characters seemed believable and were not overplayed. Farnk Darabont does a great job of framing his shots and makes the show feel more like a movie than a tv series. The whole thing is paced amazingly well and does things that most shows dream of doing. It makes you feel for a character you met 20 minutes before. Words are not needed. Morgan’s scene with his wifes pictures comes to mind, simply put, this scene honestly made me feel his pain. This is one of the best adaptations I have seen, so far, in a long time. KickAss the film was a very good adaptation that made changes for sake of the audience and censors. The Walking Dead only changes some dialogue and scenes to extend the experience. Other than that, this is an incredibly faithful adaptation of the much loved comic series and is one to be noted for almost anyone who is thinking of adapting a much loved comic or anything for that matter. All in all, I loved it. It has the slower parts of the book down pat and is not shy to use gore and violence. This one episode had more zombie action than the last 2 resident evil movies combined. Don’t miss this show, it’s replaying right now.
AMC FTW
