10 Films That Took Themselves Way Too Seriously
10. Maggie
Arnold Schwarzenegger finally gets a zombie movie with Maggie, and it’s everything you’d expect, with loads of action, explosions and a bit where Arnie shoots his zombie wife in the wife and says, “Consider that a divorce.”
Nah, just kidding. So listless that it might be an episode of Fear The Walking Dead under another name, Maggie consists of Arnie moping about while his daughter (Abigail Breslin) slowly succumbs to infection after being bitten. Just like FTWD, it’s basically a zombie story for people who’ve never watched a zombie movie in their lives.
Which begs the question: why cast Arnie? The last thing you expect from the Terminator, particularly at this stage of his career, is a bit of “serious” acting in a movie that goes nowhere fast. What next? A dark, introspective alien invasion movie starring Chuck Norris?
