Zombie movies still creep me out, but it was kind of funny how slow they were. It was more like, "oh look, some zombies coming up ahead. Let me just run right in between them and continue on my way." However, they are doing the same thing with the zombies in this movie that they did in 28 Days Later; they move as fast as people and are jacked up in strength. With 28 Days Later, it made more sense; they were not actually zombies, but people who were infected with a virus that turned them into mindless rage-filled killing machines. However, a corpse that has been sitting around for weeks rotting is not going to move as fast as a normal person. They should make it where the oldest ones move real slow, while the newer ones move just as fast as people.

Hollywood has run out of new ideas; they are remaking pretty much anything and everything that they can get their hands on, especially if it is a remake of a foreign film that people were unlikely to have seen in the U.S. (Vanilla Sky, The Ring, etc.) or is an old enough movie that there is likely not enough younger people who have seen the previous version (Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Dawn of the Dead, etc.). Like always, it's all about the money.
