    I'd stay away from the Digital Spy one also, more of a plot synopsis than a review.

    Don't EVER read a Digital Spy review of a movie! I once made that mistake and never again.

    Their so-called 'reviews' are anything but, they're more plot synopsis based and full of spoilers. They basically give you the entire plot structure of the entire movie from start to finish and nothing else.

    You have been warned.

    It was fun watching them film it in George Square, Glasgow.

    You can see bits of Glasgow in the trailer.... made to look like Philadelphia (or somewhere!)

    If you've seen the trailer they use the shots of the filming in George Square they did for the movie. It looks great!

    You can see the George Square scenes at the beginning of the trailer.

    I would expect if it gets a 15 at it's first go at the bbfc it'll be cut for 12A, for cinema at least. They need the money.

    The rating is 15 officially now.

    According to the BBFC website nothing but trailers have been submitted yet :confused:

    Occasionally there are things where the atmosphere makes it a 15 rather than the actual content of the film. My understanding is that cutting these occasions is difficult but doable, so I'd very much doubt they'd settle for a 15...

    The trailers i've seen for it on tv now all say 15.

    Yes, the Digital Spy review says it's a 15. But the BBFC are yet to post anything, which is odd.

    Why would Paramount settle for a 15? I'm guessing there's literally nothing they could do to bring the rating down...

    If they're having the same issues internationally, it's going to fail epically.

    It may take a moment - as it did with me - but I think most people will twig that World War Zee is a play on World War Three.

    I read it a couple of years ago and it's taken till reading this to realise:o

    Most of the trailers on the BBFC are 12A but there is a 15 lurking there, which suggests the film will be a 15, still nothing definite though.

    One of the trailers for Ted got an 18, the film got a 15...

    It has horrible reviews and is set to become a massive multi-million box office flop. Im glad, brad pitt needs to be taken down a few pegs.

    The unfavourable reviews I've read are almost written as if they were determined to hate the film before they saw it.

    bbfc are much stricter on trailers than films, the reasoning being people will generally know what to expect if they've paid to see a film, but they're not expecting the content of the trailers.

    More than one f word in a trailer will get the trailer an 18 rating, so it's actually theoretically possible to cut an 18 advert from a 12A movie, but I don't imagine anyone will ever try it.

    What a ridiculous thing to say. The guy's done some of his best work over the past couple of years.

    It got a 15 from the bbfc: http://www.bbfc.co.uk/releases/world-war-z-0 "contains sustained threat and strong violence".

    Guess they couldn't cut it to 12A. ;)

    Glad it's a 15, at least it will keep the little kids out.

    This just doesnt appeal to me at all and im a huge zombie fan but the zombies running at the speed they are just puts me off and with that part in the trailer where they are all climbing on each other to get over the wall ?

    For me this just looks a like another production company jumping on the zombie bandwagon.

    I saw the trailer for this before Star Trek and I thought it was one of the worst trailers I'd ever seen.It just looked an incoherent, depressing mess.I won't be watching it.

    The wall scene reminds me of the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem, might be way off the mark but that's my view.

    Well Rotten Tomatoes is looking quite positive review wise?

    Yes, some people have it in for the film because they didn't do a Peter Jakson and copy the book near word for word at the expense of the film, but general consensus is quite positive.

    I might actually go and see it, and I have to really want to see a film because I strongly dislike cinemas...

    There's little tongue-in-cheek about the latest trailer:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EC7P5WdUko

    Tentatively looking forward to this (if only to see where all the money went), but fear another Battle:LA. - a film awash with trite character arcs and notably cheesier than the trailer suggested.

    I think some posters are too willing to let others do their thinking for them. I wasn't going to watch this movie till I saw the poster (and this trailer) for the movie. I am quietly confident about this film.
