"If Overlord was a video game, it would be a great one. It just happens to be a movie, and it’s a great one of those too. It hits all old-school genre tropes so hard that they make new noises, and infuses cheesy grindhouse thrills with all the “you are there” intensity of a great interactive experience." ...

"Be prepared for blood, guts and gore. The violence, both in the high-octane opening scenes and the more monstrous body horror, is squirm-inducing at points, bolstered by Jed Kurzel’s thundering score. Don’t be fooled by its B-movie trappings: Amid all the carnage, Overlord has more to say than you might think." ... Read full review

"Realistically, Overlord is a simple mechanism to deliver squib packs and swear words, a function that the film's creators accomplish despite their otherwise unremarkable story's choppy pacing and general humorlessness. " ... Read full review

"As seen in the film’s terrifying opening and its gruesome climax, Avery deftly orchestrates some grisly, intense set pieces. He delivers on the thrills, even if the story leaves something to be desired." ... Read full review

"Despite the heavy context and historical precedent, there’s not a whole lot on Overlord’s mind, and a gestured-at “defeating the monsters makes us monstrous” philosophical thread ends symmetrically but pointlessly." ... Read full review

"There is something deeply crass about this facetious nonsense, and everyone involved in this film might want to reflect that Nazi medical experimentation during the second world war did in fact happen, under circumstances other than these. It was a very real thing, not just a death-metal horror movie gag. " ... Read full review

I was expecting much more horror but this is more action, even though it’s a nazi zombie film. Not the film I was expecting or hoping

This was a surprisingly entertaining WWII flick that featured a cast of unknowns confronting nightmarish Nazi-experimental reanimatedThis was a surprisingly entertaining WWII flick that featured a cast of unknowns confronting nightmarish Nazi-experimental reanimated humanoids - colloquially referred to as "zombies". The film starts off with a high-action paratrooping event, then gets slow for a bit, till the big fight and explosion scenes in the final third. There were some genuinely compelling fight/horror scenes in that final third. Some of the horror makeup is Oscar-worthy. Not sure why they selected relative unknown Jovan Adepo as the hero but he wasn't really up to it. Maybe his "Boyce" character is best described as anti-hero since as an Army private he was insubordinate more than once. But as an actor, he didn't make a lasting impression, no one is going to call this their breakout film. Expand

It started out really well, it could have been great, but around the middle of the movie it all just went downhill, unfortunately. WyattIt started out really well, it could have been great, but around the middle of the movie it all just went downhill, unfortunately. Wyatt Russell was also a miscast for his role, as it was not believable at all :(

Would have loved to explore more of the villain in the movie portrayed by Pilou Asbæk, but he only had limited screen time and was severely dumbed down in the end. A good movie that could have been great, but unfortunately because of bad writing, is painfully average.

It's a B movie homage can't be the excuse for all the cliches in the writing. All the characters in this movie we've already seen in others, as the whole story too. Also political correction has gone out of hand, this thing of no racism in the army by that time is too much. Expand

Um, also didn't the airborne troops go in at night before the beach landings? Sloppy, contempt for the intelligence of the audience, more or less bs. Expand
