I felt the same way the first time I watched The French Connection. I heard aobut the car chase scene and how it was awesome. Turns out is ridiculous (compared to today's action movies). The actual plot is good.

Could it be a case of a movie that marked a generation but it is outdated?

I wanted to think that too but even in the 70's they could have made the zombies a little more threatening.  I can handle the bad makeup, but they seriously just had people walk up and push and that would take out a zombie.

 

 

A lot of people say that his movie had political tones, so maybe he was going for something else other than scaring the audience.

Good zombie movie by the way: 28 days Later...

 

I heard that too and I just really don't want to think in a zombie movie, I wanted to be scared.

And yeah, 28 Days Later was good.  Fast zombies are always more frightening than the slow stupid ones.  One zombie from 28 Days Later means everyone dies.  One zombie (or even 10) from Dawn of the Dead means everyone sits there and laughs.
