Man, I didn’t like this movie as much as I wanted to. I even think it was bad.
I would rather watch a zombie movie that went 100% stupid rather than sit through this again. This movie just sat at a weird place between stupid and serious.
At least it was a little fun up until they met the coyote.

If they would have put half as much work into the movie than they put into the marketing material, they would have squeezed out a better movie.
Heck, I think Snyder put more work into writing his tweets, than writing the script.

It’s funny they almost always hire dancers for zombie roles I’m sure they figure good builds and physical dexterity, but the problem is they move like dancers. It was particularly bad in this film, like there couldn’t be a zombie shot with out some over dramatic physical pose to look scary. I’m a zombie! * jazz hands *

Last I heard it was number 1 in many countries, which I think someone posted here, and will have prequels, so it’s not that strange for me.

The prequel and anime aren't a result of popularity, but of Netflix's desire to have their own zombie franchise from a "visionary" like Zack Snyder. They decided to make this a franchise before the first movie was even completed lol
Too bad the movie is complete garbage. I'm sure the prequel and anime will have their fans but it won't be the "hit" franchise that Netflix was hoping it would be. The only people that still talk about this movie in a positive light are blatant astroturfers or people who have terrible taste in films.

Guys, Framestore and Zack Snyder spent all that time to remove Chris D'Elia and replace him with Tig Notaro, and there he is.... he somehow managed to creep up and appear again in the picture.

Zack Snyder’s Stone Quarry Productions Signs First-Look Film Deal With Netflix (Exclusive)
The banner, which Snyder runs with partner and wife Deborah and executive Wesley Coller, wants to make "big projects and big movies."
www.hollywoodreporter.com
"For us, it was so important to find a partnership that was based on mutual respect,” Deborah Snyder says. “The creative process works best when everybody trusts each other and you can take chances and be creative. For us, we don’t usually play it safe. The content we make is a little bit edgier. And I think it’s important to have a good partnership and hear each other.”
She adds, “And Netflix has given us a lot of freedom. But they’ve also embraced the idea of trying new things and not necessary waiting for a success before moving ahead.”
The making of Army of the Dead illustrated that sentiment. Even before the movie was released in May, Netflix and the Snyders were in production on a German-made prequel, titled Army of Thieves, and an anime spinoff. The prequel is on track for a fall release while the anime is due to debut in spring 2022.
Yes, Snyder will be spending more time in the Army-verse. On the docket is a sequel he is developing with the first movie’s co-writer, Shay Hatten, something he would tackle after Rebel Moon."

As if anybody would care about the backstories of these shitty cardboard-cutout characters.
The try-hard attempt at making this another movie universe is just desperately bad.

"In terms of the Army of the Dead franchise, fans have already seen what that Netflix freedom can entail, as the film already has the prequel spinoff Army of Thieves set to debut later this year, and the anime spinoff Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas set for 2022. The report also reveals that a proper sequel to the film is currently in development, with Snyder expected to return."

Zack Snyder Signs First-Look Deal With Netflix

I definitely enjoyed the film when I saw it in theaters but the story was definitely the weakest aspect. I dont really understand the criticism that the film is visually ugly but to each their own I guess 
. Anyways, the Scifi aspect of the sequel with the ufos and robot zombies has me intrigued. So for the sequel I hope they spend more time on the script and honestly Zack should get Terrio to help write it. Also Zack needs to bring Fong or Wagner back as his dop because I think that's just too much on his plate to be shooting the film as well. I also wonder if Zack will ever go back to shooting on film because he shot aotd and zsjl reshoots both digitally 
. One final tidbit I'm definitely excited to see how his Rebel Moon film is going to turn out.

At least Army of Thieves looks more fun and better shot than Army of the Dead. God that one was pure slog and vaseline nightmare.

I agree, Larry Fong should be back as DOP. How the Army Universe is going to expand is anyone's guess. Plus the fact it's gonna come after Rebel Moon, so it's a long way to go for the potential sequel.

Army of Thieves is definitely getting a watch from me. Dieter was a fun character and look forward to seeing more of him.

The prequel is a bog-standard heist movie. That said, it's not a terrible movie like Army of the Dead... but I wouldn't call it good either.

I'm surprised Netflix is not making a live action prequel TV series ,but making it anime, cause they didn't want to spend more cash on the franchise? So did it bomb ? Is Zack just scripting the sequel but nothing has been greenlit ?

Army of Thieves was decent fun. Nothing great, but nothing terrible either. It helps to explain the Dieter character better, who I did not like in Army of the Dead.
AoT is better than AotD, but that might just speak to how underwhelming AotD was.

Army of Thieves is better in overall quality than Army of the Dead and would probably have been better positioned before they released Army of the Dead.
Its of a middling heist film since the heists themselves aren’t elaborate nor the vaults themselves much of a challenge to the protagonist.
Script was decent, runs though some cliches but gives us a decent adventure with child-like Ludwig/Sebastian. Plenty of nice scenery and Nathalie Emmanuelle.
Extremely loose connections with Army of the Dead and that’s oddly a good thing.
What they should do is make a movie or limited series about the opening part of Army of the Dead that was better than the entire film itself.

I was just wondering: Army of Thieves' ending scene, seems to be an extended scene from Army of the Dead. Once the prequel got green-lit by Netflix, Zack must have trimmed that scene where Bautista's Scott Ward meets Dieter.
Pretty nice film by Matthias Schweighöfer, it has its moments, Matthias' character is a pretty funny guy. Here's hoping that he'll be in the sequel together with Omari Hardwick's Vanderohe. Nice theme and score by Hans Zimmer and Steve Mazzaro. The film is a fun ride, with a nod to zombies. So if you liked Matthias' character in Army of the Dead, then you're gonna like this film too, because it's his backstory.

Hmm, Nathalie Emmanuel huh. Been a fan ever since her first scene in Misfits
I'll give the prequel a go.
It had been a long time since I'd seen the whole series of Misfits. I didn't even remember she was in it. But it was only one episode so...
She was arguably the prettiest woman on the show's entire run!
