ScoobyWell Great visuals, story delivers no surprises

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

easywinn-915-835335 First off I have to admit I'm a huge Dolph fan, and I'm not going to lie to you, Dolph has disappointed me a lot with his recent movies. But not this movie, this movie is a testament to how awesome and epic the Dolph can be.Here is what your in for when you watch this movie Spin kicks, roundhouses, handcuff chokes, guns, zombies getting blasted, a dumb plot. Discard the plot, just whisk that out of your mind. Hell, you probably should just mute it and put some heavy metal on. That is what i did the second time I watched it. Lets be honest, you didn't rent this for a plot you rented it to watch Dolph karate a bunch of zombies to pieces and god does this movie ever deliver on the whole Dolph kicking zombies.... Seems like a horrible way to attack and kill zombies, and it would be if you were anyone but Dolph. I guess there's other actors in this movie, I have no idea who they are or what there story is every time they came on screen I just spaced out till Dolph came back on.So to recap you will love this movie if you don't care about things like dialog and plot, and instead care about important things like smashing a zombies head in with a well placed round spin kick.Seriously, watch this movie.

dworldeater Dolf Lundren is Major Gatling, an elite mercenary hired to rescue a wealthy industrialist's daughter in a city quarantined by a military blockade. The city is isolated because a deadly virus was unleashed and turned the population into rabid zombies(infecteds)similar to those seen in 28 Days Later. While Battle Of The Damned is not nearly as terrifying or as good as 28 Days Later, BOTD is much more survivalist action than horror and a good one at that. If you are only watching this film because you are a Dolf Lundren fan, you need not worry as there is tons of action in this flick. The tone is dark enough and taken seriously to please most horror fans that have seen lots of stuff like this before. Compared to much of what's out there in the zombie/horror genre the gore level is relatively low, but this action packed piece is well done and plenty entertaining.Dolf has great screen presence and he along with the rest of cast had no problem selling this science fiction nightmare with solid acting performances. Overall, Battle Of The Damned is a good low budget(not low quality) zombie/action film worth watching for fans of the genre. I also thought the robots that show up later are cool also.

Gordon Cheatham (cheathamg) Many years ago, when I was still in college, I worked nights and went to school in the daylight hours. My off nights I usually spent watching junk movies on late night television. I learned that there is a hierarchy of junk movies ranging from poor quality junk to high quality junk. The genre didn't seem to matter. They could be drama, comedy, horror, SF, cowboy, you-name-it. This film, Battle of the Dead, is definitely in the high quality junk category. In fact, I even hesitate to call it junk. I only do so because it meets many of the criteria. It was made by non-mainstream film makers, way, way outside of Hollywood or western Europe. The actors are people you've never seen or heard of before. It stars Dolph Lundgren. Now, I have seen Lundgren turn in good performances, given the right material and decent direction, but by and large, he has made film choices based on making the money and getting out quickly. It may very well be that that's why he chose to do this film, but if so, he was scammed into making a film with an interesting concept, a sufficiently competent and professional script and crew, and a director with some imagination. This film, on the surface, sounds like junk. It's a zombie movie with killer robot soldiers. Then, after you find out they are not really zombies, and therefore can be put down rather easily, and the robots usually kill only when they have good reason, you begin to realize that a certain amount of thought has gone into this project. Granted the characters are pretty two-dimensional and the reasons behind why everything is happening are only lightly sketched in, but the action moves right along, there are a number of interesting visuals, and the film is for the most part believable, if you accept certain basic science fiction tenets that run through most post-apocalyptic films. One last word about Dolph Lundgren. He doesn't do much more than stand around and look menacing, but that's why he was hired, and he does the best with what he was given. Basically, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

gavin6942 Following a deadly viral outbreak, private military soldier Max Gatling (Dolph Lundgren) leads a handful of survivors and a ragtag band of robots against an army of the infected.I know the 1980s are over and action films are not what they used to be, but I have to feel sorry for Dolph. Not only for being in this film, but being used to sell it. Without his name attached, this might never have gotten Anchor Bay's attention (and we might all be better off).Early on the camera work is terrible. This improves, but the plot never does. I mean, nothing really new or different happening here. I did like the robots and thought it was clever to use robots against zombies (or whatever they are)... but that was not enough to make up for everything else.
