Good start, but then it gets ruined

Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Following a deadly viral outbreak, private military soldier Max Gatling leads a handful of survivors and a ragtag band of robots against an army of the infected. Robots v.s Zombies with cheap cgi, a dumb plot and dull acting what else did you except? This isn't some kind of masterpiece but seeing Dolph Lundgren killing zombies and then having a robot by his side is worth both your money and time it's a good B- Movie that you will find some kind of fun in it it's not an award winning masterpiece or anything but for a low budget straight to DVD film? It's pretty good i won't lie on that one and that's why i'll give it an 8/10.

Don't expect a high budget, star-studded cast. This film is not that. It's a low budget, direct to disc release. As long as you're OK with that, and you are an action flick film as I am, this is entertaining enough to spend a rainy Sunday afternoon watching.The acting--outside of Lundgren--is not great. He's always good but the rest of the speaking cast come off as awkward at times, decent at times. Never quite awful, but never quite great. It's a B-movie. What do you expect? Golden Globe awards?The movie is reasonably fast paced. The action scenes are as fun as they are gory. But again, it's a Zombie Apocalypse plot so that's what you expect to see. It delivers on that regard.I saw one site billing this film as a sequel to Robotropolis, a movie so bad that I simply couldn't finish it. This, if it is a sequel, bears almost no resemblance to the poor effort displayed in Robotropolis.Overall, if you are a fan of Dolph, you like action and you like Zombie movies, this is enjoyable. Just don't expect too much.

Dolf Lundren is Major Gatling, an elite mercenary hired to rescue a wealthy industrialist's daughter in a city quarantined by a military blockade. The city is isolated because a deadly virus was unleashed and turned the population into rabid zombies(infecteds)similar to those seen in 28 Days Later. While Battle Of The Damned is not nearly as terrifying or as good as 28 Days Later, BOTD is much more survivalist action than horror and a good one at that. If you are only watching this film because you are a Dolf Lundren fan, you need not worry as there is tons of action in this flick. The tone is dark enough and taken seriously to please most horror fans that have seen lots of stuff like this before. Compared to much of what's out there in the zombie/horror genre the gore level is relatively low, but this action packed piece is well done and plenty entertaining.Dolf has great screen presence and he along with the rest of cast had no problem selling this science fiction nightmare with solid acting performances. Overall, Battle Of The Damned is a good low budget(not low quality) zombie/action film worth watching for fans of the genre. I also thought the robots that show up later are cool also.

"Zombies, killer robots, nice town you got here." After a viral outbreak causes people to turn into zombies, military soldier Max Gatling (Lundgren) is called into battle. Not only must he fight off the zombie army with a few human survivors, but a group of robots that have been trained to kill as well. Even though it sounds made up I swear that is the plot of the movie. I know what your initial thought is but I have actually seen worse. The thing that helped the movie is that it didn't take itself too serious. If they tried to be straight line and make it seem like a real war movie it would have been un-watchable. The fact that they added comedy and made it a little over the top made it seem better then it actually was. I'm not saying this is a good movie at all because this wouldn't be in my top ten choices to watch ever but in terms of Dolph Lundgren movies there have been much worse. Overall, the robots look like a rip off of the Lost In Space robot and the zombie effects are barely passable. A severely low budget World War Z knock off but again I have seen worse. I give it a C.
