Just Plain Awesome!
Dudes, get a life. Everywhere I look I see negative reviews. Negative, negative, negative. We’’ve got to learn to live in peace and respect. The reason I think people are overreacting to this version is this: nobody is forcing anybody to watch this so if you hated it, don’’t watch it again. I like Night of the Living Dead but have never considered it a great movie. So I viewed the new edition without any prejudice, and I was pleasantly surprised. I like the new footage. It may not have blended with the original perfectly, but it was very impressive. The acting in the new scenes was better than the acting in the rest of the movie. I particularly liked the reverand because you can tell the actor playing him wasn’’t taking anything too seriously. The new scenes around Beakman’’s Diner were very cool and presented some awesome carnage only talked about in the original. The man who plays the reverand also makes a new musical score which added a new atmosphere of 80s tech snthosizer type that I loved. The DVD’’s picture was top-notch, better than possible. There was a commentary that was full of cool information. there was also a kinda cool featurette that was to short. The music video was very funny. The original, unedited version is also available but with the cool new musical score. I realize that many people hated this version, but I found it a very interesting reinterpratation of the original. I may be one of the only five star reviews, but I’’m just expressing my opinion, and here it is: BUY THIS GREAT DVD NOW!  Rated 1 out of 5
I’’d like to thank Elite Entertainment for the REAL version!
This is THE biggest waste of money I have ever encountered. I hadn’’t seen the film since I was a kid, so I bought it hoping to see a re-enactment of my childhood memories, and it seemed that this wasn’’t the way I had remembered the film.So to compensate, I took a chance and bought the Elite Entertainment THX Millennium Edition of "Night Of The Living Dead" to see the way this classic was supposed to be. Well, to say the least I snapped this "30th Anniversary Edition" in half and burnt the rest of the material in protest. In short, THIS ANCHOR BAY EDITION IS THE MOST HORRIBLE PRESENTATION OF THIS CLASSIC. YOU MUST AVOID! - Rated 1 out of 5
A Mishap Of Horror
Do yourself a favor and just buy the Millenium Edition. I made the mistake of buying this for the 15 minutes of "extra footage, the way the movie was meant to be made." Well, I was beyond disappointment. Besides contradicting the original film, if taken seriously as a part of the Living Dead Trilogy, it destroys "Dawn" and "Day" as well. Don’’t waste the money.
