Dawn of the Dead - rant

IMO, and strictly IMO, once again where the product does not match the hype.
not that i found it BAD or anything, but it really had nothing to do with the ORIGINAL whatsoever except for the fact of the SHOPPING MALL and a couple of catch sentences as well as quick cameo's.
to me, it came across to me as an americanized sequel to 21 DAYS LATER.
not enough gore - or at least nothing that i haven't seen before........
if zombies "rose from the grave", they would not be doing leaps in the air onto victimes like a RVD frogsplash.
If it didn't have the DAWN OF THE DEAD tag to it, it would've been a good movie but........

and since the zombies weren't from the radiation like in the original, where did the illness come from?
