I’ve previously seen the first two movies, but haven’t watched the third and fourth yet, so I thought, why not watch them all and record my thoughts? Let’s go.

Zombies

1. I do find it funny that lime soda is what caused the zombies.
2. I wonder how scientists were able to get the Z-bands on the zombies in the first place.
3. Can I get a Z-band so keep me from eating chocolate?
4. Addison is so cute in this movie.
5. Why would Addison grow out her white hair though? Couldn’t she just shave it?
6. They’re eating the dogs. They’re eating the cats….. I’m so sorry.
7. Oh look, parental pressure.
8. Why were those kids biking in the cul-de-sac before school? Get to school.
9. The music is great.
10. Eliza would be a great politician.
11. Being a zombie must mean you are extremely flexible.
12. I’ll take that hug, Bonzo.
13. I am Bree with sprouting off random facts.
14. Someone get Bonzo on America’s Got Talent.
15. If there was a zombie attacking, everyone running into the hallways would make things worse.
16. That punch should have left a bruise, for sure.
17. Zed didn’t even touch her. Calm down, Bucky.
18. I like the coach. He is such a fun character.
19. The Acey’s! What a good band name.
20. If cheer tryouts were like this, school spirit would be so much better.
21. At least Bucky semi-listened to Addison. Which is kind of funny, when you think about his very intense personality.
22. Why were Addison and Bree the only ones tasked with egging the house? What about the other girl who joined the team?
23. Those eggs would cost 14 bucks today.
24. Zed is such a high schooler in that moment. I thought she was cool. I thought she was the one.
25. I love Eliza’s sass.
26. Why did Bucky jump from to get that high in the air? New theory. He’s a fairy.
27. What school would let those spirit sticks inside? I smell a lawsuit.
28. The coach’s dream is to move out of his parent’s basement, get a cat, and get a gym membership. Good dreams to have.
29. What is Bree even talking about?
30. The awkward walk through the cafeteria to your crush’s table. Been there.
31. Overbite, one leg longer than the other, and corrective lenses. Clearly, I’m a freak.
32. This scene is so cute and just gives a great example of how it feels to get a crush.
33. I would also cover the stuffed dog’s eyes.
34. Lose better. A great motto.
35. Someone get Eliza into a tech job.
36. That football has now entered orbit.
37. Honestly, how could no one notice the chance in his skin?
38. Bonzo just wants to hug everyone.
39. A zombie party seems like so much fun.
40. Zoey is so cute.
41. Compliments can win over anyone.
42. Where do I find someone who looks at me like Zed looks at Addison?
43. Gus, I don’t like that attitude.
44. Why are the other cheerleaders so interested when they reveal the information to Bucky? A lot of them like zombies.
45. How would Eliza not have noticed that her computer was missing?
46. The coach is truly a good man.
47. Oh Bucky. Your villain arc is getting old.
48. Did Eliza hack into Bonzo’s Z-band too? Otherwise, how would Stacey be able to mess his up?
49. Why would they think letting three zombies go on a rampage would be a smart plan?
50. Bucky is going through a mental crisis.
51. This song is such a good message.
52. Let her sabotage it. Time for an uprising.
53. This town change their minds constantly.
54. Zoey could rival Bucky with her confidence.
55. I want to know what Bonzo said.
56. That puppy is adorable.

This one is such a throwback to the time of High School Musical. It is just a sweet movie with a good message. 10/10

Zombies 2

1. The strength needed to get out of that sand.
2. I love that the coach has a fro-yo cart and still has his very achievable dreams.
3. That mascot is hilarious.
4. Addison’s hair is not as white as it was at the end of the first movie
5. Kevin is no more. It’s only JC.
6. Let Eliza continue her revolution.
7. Oh, so Bucky’s a cheater. What a surprise.
8. There is so much going on in this song.
9. I’ve decided to be school president this year. This feels familiar.
10. Bonzo is shy and it’s so cute.
11. Who lets the shrimp drive the bus?
12. Every time they first meet, Addison must slap Zed.
13. I am Zoey. I’d befriend a werewolf.
14. Bucky, you ran out of the bus immediately.
15. You’ve got to love Zed’s optimism.
16. Once again, Eliza is not wrong about the rules.
17. Zoey clocking the werewolf immediately. She’s clearly one of the smartest people in this town.
18. Awhooo
19. This song slaps. I’ll join the wolves!
20. The anti-monster laws don’t seem to be working well, considering the werewolves walked right into town, and into the school.
21. Fro-yo can work wonders. I agree with him.
22. That’s one way to make an entrance.
23. Awkwardly joining the school. Good start.
24. Just a little weird, Addison
25. Not a good start, Zed.
26. Zoey for president instead.
27. Let Eliza speak, Zed. We need her theories.
28. Good tackle.
29. Fine-smelling. I see you Eliza.
30. You okay, Wynter?
31. Jealously isn’t a good luck on you, Zed.
32. Oof, harsh Zed.
33. There are so many marshmallows in that hot chocolate.
34. Wynter is trying her hardest. Let her be.
35. Bree has skills, avoiding the Z-patrol so easily.
36. This song is so catchy.
37. If she was the Great Alpha, wouldn’t she need a moonstone to stay alive?
38. I need more lore about these moonstones.
39. I do like this new hairstyle. I really like all the werewolves’ hairstyles.
40. Addison is really focused on herself here, which is good. And Zed is focused on fitting in. He needs to be more true to himself.
41. “Stay out of our amazing hair” is such a good line.
42. Bucky would be safe. No brain there.
43. What great timing for the Z-band to malfunction.
44. The fact that even the zombies were trying to run from Zed is really funny.
45. This is my favorite song in this one. Flesh and Bone is so good.
46. You would not arm the demolitions with so many people around.
47. The lyrics in this song really hit. Silence is still a choice.
48. We came from the bottom, then became the problem. You can’t tell me these lyrics aren’t fire.
49. Addison has a right to be hurt by Zed’s actions. He really messed with her head.
50. Bree is the best friend we all need.
51. Friends are your found pack, Addison.
52. The zombies and werewolves have great fashion.
53. Bonzo and Bree are such a cute couple.
54. Reprise of Someday from the first movie. Very sweet for the dance scene.
55. Cue dramatic fissure in the ground.
56. Zed, time to embrace your true monster self.
57. Shouldn’t they be getting the moonstone back to the rest of the pack instead of it just sitting at the dance?
58. There we go, now it’s back at the den.
59. Dramatic kiss. Perfect setting.
60. And a good cliffhanger for the third. Addison’s hair turns blue after an asteroid hits.

I’d give this one a 7/10. I really liked the songs and the new characters. However, I’m not a big fan of the jealousy and misunderstanding trope.

Onto the new ones, for me at least.

Zombies 3

1. Win the football game, and everything is perfect. Yeah, like that will happen.
2. The coach is back! Love this guy!
3. We even get to see his mom??? Love him!
4. Let’s go, Eliza! She’s interning and living her life.
5. I see the Acey’s are still on the cheer team. Is Bucky still around? I’m confused about the ages of these characters.
6. Bonzo and Bree are still together and are still so cute.
7. Didn’t the asteroid hit at the middle of the night in the second movie?
8. Glad everyone is on board with the werewolves.
9. OH WHAT
10. Wyatt has a crush on Eliza! I love that. Girl deserves some love too.
11. Bucky is still president? I’m very confused. Didn’t he have like three years of being cheer captain in the first movie?
12. Wynter is on the football team too, let’s go.
13. Keep calm and zombie on? All right.
14. The meteors are due to the moonstone. Good explanation.
15. And here come the aliens.
16. Bonzo with that instrument is amazing.
17. I was wondering when the first song would happen. But during the exact moment that aliens were landing? Kind of funny timing.
18. Come on aliens, be a little nicer to infrastructure.
19. I’m glad the Acey’s get more singing time.
20. Dang it, let Wyatt confess his feelings.
21. So, the aliens need some kind of map. Is it hidden in the moonstone?
22. Why would they hide the coordinates in Seabrook? Unless Seabrook is the most precious thing.
23. Why did I just get a flashback of that infamous scene in Camp Rock 2?
24. Just a little destructive energy force.
25. Bucky in the back, thinking he’s the leader.
26. Bucky, none of us want more of you.
27. I mean, technically, Bucky is correct about them coming to take something.
28. I’m dying at this alien just escaping without a care.
29. I want to hear about the carnivorous black hole.
30. I think Zed is exceptional.
31. Damn, alien. That was harsh.
32. I think Bonzo would have gotten a music scholarship.
33. They suppress their emotions? Sounds unhealthy.
34. A-lan. Interesting name.
35. Could the aliens fix everything they broke?
36. The mothership speaks.
37. Other names are A-li and A-spen. Got it.
38. So, are the aliens born from the mothership or…?
39. Here we go again. Zed is upset about a new group of people appearing in Seabrook.
40. Addison seems rather concerned in this song, more than Zed.
41. What did they put into their eyes? Don’t mess with my wolves.
42. So, Willa wants to get into the college too.
43. Eliza giving off Wade from Kim Possible
44. The aliens have better grades. How do they have grades already?
45. The things that amaze the aliens are quite funny.
46. Zed didn’t know about the planet. Calm down aliens.
47. I bet they figure out high fives by the end of the movie.
48. Eliza is interning at a huge company and yet Zed is the one zombiekind is relying on?
49. A-spen likes Zed, don’t they?
50. A-spen is going to mess with Zed’s application so he doesn’t get in, I bet.
51. This looks more like dance, and not cheer.
52. Defying gravity gives an unfair advantage.
53. I think the aliens need a little humility.
54. Coach’s froyo. Beautiful.
55. The moonstone is just in the middle of town?
56. If the aliens can become invisible, why didn’t they all do that immediately?
57. Show Mothership some respect.
58. There’s the slap I’ve been missing.
59. Zed found out about A-spen’s crush. Be nice, Zed.
60. I’m in harmony in a hostile way.
61. A-spen broke up with Zed. What a ride.
62. I swear, if it’s the trophy that has the coordinates.
63. We need Eliza to come fix their ship.
64. Or just Zed banging it.
65. Eli. Why do I get the feeling he’s related to Addison?
66. Of course, the scout leader loved cheerleading.
67. Yep, called it. Addison is part alien.
68. Addison, you just learned you are part alien. You can’t immediately claim that that’s who you are.
69. Couldn’t they just ask to see the trophy? Why do they have to win it.
70. Addison ignores the fact she has friends, family, a boyfriend, and a town that loves her. She is not alone. This is getting grating.
71. Addison, maybe tell your mom that she’s half alien. That seems important for her to know.
72. Who comes an hour early to something like that?
73. Best character in these movies is Shrimpy. I love how he just pops up in random scenes.
74. Oh, the lumenscope is fritzing out Zed’s Z-band.
75. Addison needs to learn how to control her powers.
76. Yep, they’ve ruined this interview.
77. Couldn’t they just grab the trophy?
78. He did correctly talk trash.
79. Damn it, Buky. Put that down.
80. Okay, that is funny.
81. He’s activating it, so is Bucky part alien too? If so, shouldn’t he have been beamed up too?
82. Wynter likes cats. I approve.
83. Oooooh, Wyatt is thinking of Eliza.
84. There’s a zombie judge? Adorable.
85. Zed got in, aw. I was wondering when that would happen.
86. Maybe stop playing with that Addison. Aren’t there werewolves on the team that she might have to touch in the routine?
87. Bonzo is so tall.
88. Bonzo picked up Addison up, yet she didn’t spark him.
89. A-spen is so ready to love anyone.
90. Zoey zombied out!
91. Addison, sweetie, you are 1/4 alien.
92. Shouldn’t her mom be able to do this too?
93. Oh, her mom knew.
94. Can’t the mothership read her DNA and just memorize it? This seems a little weird.
95. Addison, you immediately jumped ship.
96. THERE’S MOM’S WHITE HAIR
97. Let me guess, the coordinates lead to Seabrook.
98. Zed would definitely try to join her.
99. Here comes Eliza to save the day.
100. Oh, the moonstone. I was wrong.
101. Not the quiet awhoo from Wyatt. That was so cute.
102. A-spen so has a crush on Willa and I support it.
103. That was a touching goodbye. And the Acey’s supporting Zed? Perfection.
104. Ah yes, can’t have a movie without the Someday reprise. And featuring everyone? Oh, I love it.
105. Here’s Addison’s mind probe.
106. I’m shocked, so shocked.
107. Thank you for asking about Bucky’s hair.
108. Side note, Bree’s hair looks amazing for her graduation.
109. Willa is feeling A-spen too. I ship it.
110. Welcome vampires? And mermaids too? I’m on board for a mermaid movie.
111. Bucky, stop breaking things on the ship.
112. I wanted to see Wyatt and Eliza actually interact. Dang.

I had more questions about ages. And it was pretty obvious that Addison was part alien, but I still want to know if Bucky is too. This one did get on my nerves more because of Addison saying she doesn’t fit in/belong. I understand that feeling. We’ve all felt it. But they’ve kept that same idea through three movies and just ignored that she was building a family with all these friends, so she had a place. She had many places. I just felt like that plot point has been explored three times and it was getting old. I did enjoy the music. Some very catchy songs. I’d give it a solid 7/10.

Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires

1. I like how the opening of each movie is animated.
2. Wait, how did the moonstone give them aliens? That’s not what happened, right?
3. Another moonstone? Come on. Give some more lore.
4. So, this moonstone created bloodfruit and two other types of people. These moonstones are busy.
5. Addison’s hair is now purple and white, instead of blue.
6. Eliza is a science girl now. What about all her tech knowledge?
7. Why is Shrimpy there? I thought he was the mascot for the high school.
8. Nova has visions. And her dad doesn’t think they are important. Seems rather silly to overlook that.
9. Daywalkers seems to imply they can’t move at night. Is that true?
10. Shadyside. What a name.
11. Can the vampires and daywalkers only eat blood fruit?
12. That coach is a little obsessive. Let Zed live, dude.
13. We get Willa, Eliza, Zed, and Addison. Anyone else from the original movies?
14. Why is Zed’s Z-band freaking out, but not Eliza’s?
15. Yeah, none of them would have survived that crash.
16. Eliza has the right idea. Save the marshmallows.
17. Ray reminds me of Octavious from the Heroes of Olympus.
18. Pretty sure they wouldn’t just accept a random person like that.
19. Where did Eliza and Willa end up? Are they at the orchard?
20. The Life stone. Ok. Sure.
21. Oh, and the Dark stone. Got it.
22. So, the vampires can be in the sun.
23. The vampires can fly, so why don’t they just fly to the fruit?
24. Thank you for testing that, Eliza.
25. It’s rather funny that the Vampires and Daywalkers are presented to each other as totally dangerous, and yet, they didn’t even fight when they ran into each other.
26. Daddy daywalker sucks.
27. Let me guess. The camp was where both people lived together before they had a falling out.
28. Willa is a badass, and we love her for it. But where’s A-spen? I like their relationship.
29. Bucky is back from space, Bonzo and Bree are working, Wynter is teaching meditation. What about the aliens? And Wyatt?
30. I would like to know more about Nova’s visions. What other visions has she had? And are they true? Because, if they are true, why would she not think Victor was real?
31. We can conclude the werewolves are the scariest of all the people.
32. Addison and Zed are trying to be matchmakers.
33. Nova immediately flips Victor, just like Addison punched Zed. What a meet cute.
34. Why did the vampires develop fangs, if they don’t drink blood?
35. Hmm, I think Willa and Eliza are the smart ones.
36. So, what’s this pulse? I’m guessing our moonstone is at it again.
37. Ray, go back inside.
38. Nova and Victor are cute together.
39. Looks like vampires and daywalkers need to work together to get a key. Surprise, surprise.
40. Oh, look at them hanging out and sharing sunglasses.
41. Couldn’t they just get a new Z-band for Zed? And wasn’t he getting good at controlling it in the second movie?
42. Zed’s song seems a bit out of place.
43. Time to get Eliza zombied out. We don’t get to see her do much as a zombie so that was cool to see.
44. So, the tower on the roots was causing all the problems? Seems a bit too easy of a fix.
45. Ray, you suck. And of course, she only heard one part of the conversation. Time for the miscommunication.
46. Nova, your dad already doesn’t think you are the perfect daughter, so just do it your way.
47. This performance in what looks like a desert reminds me of pop song music videos.
48. So, why didn’t the vampires have a key that was just theirs? The Daywalkers did and the other two were shared.
49. Damnit, Ray. You really suck.
50. And Vera too.
51. Of course, the adults are the ones acting like children.
52. Oh, and they destroyed the orchard with their fighting.
53. They are all leaving the orchard. So, anyone could go in and get the fruit right now.
54. Also, who is Rayburn?
55. Let’s have a dramatic moment in front of Zed, who is currently dying.
56. Zed, stop singing. You are dying right now.
57. They literally said they are passing the torch. Next movies will just be about these two.
58. The guards of the stones really suck at their jobs.
59. Good job, Vera. Is Ray going to turn a corner too?
60. Ray, not buying it.
61. So, dad and aunt are really fine with trying to kill the kids?
62. Oh yes, there’s our reprise of Someday.
63. Zed is still speaking, so he’s not zombied out yet.
64. Why is the rain making them all so happy? I’m confused.
65. Is it just because it helped the fruit grow? I need some more explanations.
66. Why was the pulse not affecting the vampires and daywalkers? They are monsters too.
67. This is cute with all the tapdancing.
68. Oh, and there’s our next movie. Something to do with the ocean. Mermaids or sirens.

This was cute and definitely acted as a passing the torch movie. I missed seeing the other characters from the first three movies and there was quite a bit of lore that needed to be expanded on, but it was a fun movie. The aliens from the third movie played no part, and there was very little that was used from that movie, in this one. I would have liked more of the connection. I’d give it an 8/10.

That was a fun adventure. Time to rewatch some other DCOMs.
