CRITIC	RATING	QUOTE
Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert	7
Chicago Tribune Michael Wilmington	9	Land is obviously not for all tastes. Anyone who doesn't want to the see dozens of violent killings, ripped entrails, buckets of fake blood and sporadic ghoul picnics where rotten-looking, blank-eyed zombies chow down on their kill should probably avoid Land of the Dead.
E!	6	...pretty mindless...
filmcritic.com Keith Breese	7	...fast-moving and fun.
New York Post Kyle Smith	7	Romero has given us, as well as the zombies, a lot to chew on. There is as much allegory to his tale as there is blood, and let me tell you, there's no shortage of blood.
TV Guide Maitland McDonagh	7	...alive with subtle touches.
Slant Magazine Jeremiah Kipp	5	...a familiar rehashing of what Romero already covered in Day of the Dead.
Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman	4	...listless and uninspired...
New York Times Manohla Dargis	8	...an excellent freakout of a movie.
Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas	8	...isn't that scary, in the sense of evoking spine-tingling terror, but it offers a compelling, striking vision of the near-future that suggests there is in the world today much that's scarier than zombies.
People Leah Rozen	7	...boasts a solid plot, a political subtext and skillful performances...
Village Voice Michael Atkinson	5
Onion AV Club Keith Phipps	9	...there isn't a whiff of reunion-tour mediocrity here.
Maxim Pete Hammond	8	...this is the finger-lickin' flick that flesh-a-holic zombie fanatics have been waiting for.
Premiere Aaron Hillis	9	...a slyly suspenseful and droll thrill-ride that expounds on both the highbrow and the chewed-off-brow concepts of his previous trilogy...
