Warm Bodies worth seeing?

Warm Bodies is a fascinating film. Originally it first started as a novel, which I haven’t read, but I heard it is amazing. When I watched the trailer, before it was in theaters, I was ecstatic! Zombies, adventure, romance, comedy, what more could you want in a movie? I have some pretty high expectations when it comes to movies, this one blew mine to another planet. The gore was perfect. I watched a zombie tear off dead flesh from his face and eat it. The graphics for the really dead “Boney’s” were not the best, but they still got the point across that they are vicious, man killing skeletons.
The thriller kept me on my toes at all times. The battle between the Boneys and the Zombies and the Humans was epic to say the least.
The romance was impeccable. The two actors made the audience feel like they had a true connection. I also loved how the author of the book named the characters Julie and R. Its almost a direct link to Romeo and Juliet. They aren’t supposed to be together. R is dead. Julie is alive. At one point in the movie Julie walks out on her balcony and R calls to her. She tells him that he should not be here. Her father will find them. It was a beautiful reference.
The comedy was hilarious. They spit out one-liners left and right. “My friend “M” says the irony of being a zombie is that everything is funny, but you can’t smile, because your lips have rotted off.”
If you have time in your busy schedule, I HIGHLY recommend this movie.
