Warm Bodies aka Who's up for good ol' fashion necrophilia?

Interested. As long as a zombie movie has a good twist, I'll watch it.

The first half, I liked. It made sense, was decently funny, and had some interesting shenanigans about typical zombie behavior. But the second half, I absolutely hated it. Spoilers ahead...

Apparentely, they're not really zombies in the traditional sense. Although they'll die from all of the normal tactics, such as headshots, decapitations, severe trauma, etc, they begin to heal and recover to the point of coming back to life if they begin to remember their old lives and humanity, as well as avoiding typical zombie behaviors and cravings. Normally, this excuse for their redemption would work if they were the 28 Days Later types of zombies or had actually been infected by some type of mind-controlling parasite, but the fact is, they're already dead. They have no heartbeat, black coagulated blood, old open wounds, do not require sleep or oxygen, stiff, damaged joints, and most have been in that condition for almost 8 years now. Any sort of damage to their bodies aside from the head just irritates them. Just how the hell is the human body supposed to return to life from that?!

Look, I understand that it's just a movie, and logic isn't always mandatory or even remotely realistic, but this one takes it to the point where the plotholes begin to eclipse everything else about the movie and result in a sugar-happy ending that clearly wasn't thought out very much by the writers.

You're entitled to you option but you're way over thinking this. It's fantasy. The undead shouldn't exist in the first place. I like it. I think it's actually talking to Twilight when he says that the zombies aren't vegan. Unlike Bella, Julie knows very well that R is a killer. She was scared, she knew that he had to do it, she had already accepted that people in her life were going to die, and she felt bad for developing feelings for him.

CAUTION: Spoilers ahead, in response to the above post...

It would've been easier to accept if they had made some implication that the zombie outbreak actually had supernatural or fantasic origins. That way, you could simply hand-wave away all of the oddities by simply saying that love and emotions can break the curse, bring you back to life and start the healing process, etc. Still cheesy, but more reasonable. But at no point does the movie allude to any of that, instead going for the usual "Nobody truly knows what started it and everybody has a million different theories" instead.

Also, R had far more human interaction to begin with compared to the rest of the zombie horde, and it's strongly implied that it was him eating his girlfriend's ex-boyfriends brains which made him feel sympathy, guilt, love, etc. So the fact that M and the rest were able to follow R's example so quickly doesn't make much sense... unless the zombies were actually conscious and aware for quite some time now. Which again doesn't add up, because the rest are shown to be extremely repetitive and barely self-aware, and only R bothered with things like random exploration, item collection, self-introspection, watching human behavior, etc.

Long story short: if you're the type to obsess over plotholes and likes their movies with a decent amount of thought and logic put into them, then avoid this one!

I dunno about the boyfriend being the trigger for R gaining more humanistic. It's more of a gradual eating of brains over time, filled with memories. He got his Love at First Sight / Gunshot BEFORE he ate the boyfriend's brains. As he seemed to say, it was more of finding out about this girl and further the love he has for her. And who knows about the self-expression? Wasn't M trying to communicate with R at the beginning? This is a first-person perspective we are filtering through. Also, the bonnies were, as I caught from the movie, zombies who crossed the Despair Event Horizon, so that implies that they still are feeling.
