If this wasn't an asian movie it would get a huge amounts of hate

This movie has a huge rating on IMDb so far, but if it wasn't an asian movie the rating would be much lower.

It has some pretty big flaws, characters can make some really idiotic mistakes (think about it, most of the main characters die because of their own stupidity, even the father), there's some inconsistencies when it comes to zombie behavior and the way the infection works, a lot of cliches.

Sure, the movie is fun and all, but that wouldn't save the movie. These are all the things people on IMDb really hate, so why does this get a free pass? I guess it really must be because it's an asian movie. Some movies can have the same flaws as some asian movie and get a 6.9 score here, but that asian movie will have like 8.1.

Crazy nonsense.

I think that this is one of the best zombie films to come out in a LONG time. I also do not go into a film looking for "flaws". I don't think any of us can truthfully say what we would do in this situation. Thankfully, we will never have to find out. Zombies do not exist.

One of the best zombie movies of all time IMO. And I don't particularly like Asian movies (got nothing against them either).

But "characters can make some really idiotic mistakes" is surely one of the worst takes one can make about any movie... let alone a movie where everyone panics for their lives.
