I just saw the trailer to World War Z and....I am disappointed to the point of near disgust on how poorly they adapted the book

As much as I enjoyed the book, and I just couldn't get past the overlying socialist tones nor the grievous error of describing the 5.56 SIR of having a hard recoil. Seriously, dude?

But I did enjoy the homage to Stormin' Norman.

Well I didn't like Max's book about Zombie Survival where he trashes the M16 as a piece of shit and prefers and AK style rifle

Yeah, I liked some parts of the Zombie Survival Guide, such as his emphasis on the importance of a good .22 carbine, but other parts made me throw up in my mouth some.

What trailer are you guys talking about? I checked YouTube which was, as usual, full of fan-made "official" movie trailers, but none of the ones for World War Z looked even remotely legit.
