Return of the Living Dead 3 was a unique, orginal zombie film, it wasn't about a bunch of zombie escaping from their graves trying to eat people like most zombie films.
The plot was strong, not to slow paced and not to fast paced, and the gore level was very satisfying.
What's so great about Shaun of the Dead? it takes at least half-an hour for anything REMOTELY interesting to happen and it had one funny thing in it. Oh, yeah, really brilliant
Back on topic, it's probably sold out being a limited edition...
shaun of the dead is unique as well because it is set in britain,,,the story is still the same but the overlal feel of the movie is different because of the characters and what they do in the situation
rotld 3 is unique but i dont dig that kind of zombie movie....i prefer the bunch of zombies escaping from their graves type of story....thats the best type of zombie flick

"Colonel Reynolds and his group of government scientists continue their work on re-animating the dead for military use. His son Curt and his girlfriend Julie use Dad's security pass to sneak in and watch the proceedings. Later when father and son have a disagreement, Curt and Julie take off on a motorcycle and Julie is killed in an accident. Grief-stricken, Curt takes her body to the lab and brings her back to life. Curt must help Julie deal with her new existence as military agents and local gang members try to find them."
Yeah, that's really unique, though I think there's another movie about something being brought to life in a lab, what's it called? Oh yeah, Frankenstein.
Shaun of the Dead is pure gold, it's use of comedy, outstanding gore that isn't over used, and interesting characters is extremely refreshing and very very unique.

"Did Frankenstein eat brains? No Was Frankenstein bought back by Trioxin? No "
Return of the Living Dead 3 was not the first movie to involve eating brains. Nor was it the first movie that involved dead people coming back to life because of a chemical, heck, ROTLD did that first. Thus, 3 is not unique.
"Was Frankenstein a love story? No (Apart from Bride of Frankenstein)"
Granted, no love story in Frankenstien, but as you already pointed out, there was a love story in Bride. Which means the love story aspect has already been done. Thus making that aspect of ROTLD3 not unique in anyway. Good work on destroying your own argument.
"Did Frankenstein use pain to stop the hunger? No
Did Frankenstein pierce himself with shards of glass and metal to stop the hunger? No. Oh, yeah, exactly the same huh? "
Those two things don't make the movie as a whole unique, the premise of ROTLD3 is a poor rehash of Bride of frankenstien/Frankenstien.
"You can't call Shaun of the Dead orginal simply because it was set in Britain. But you can call it crap because it was slow, boring, and NOT FUNNY."
And you can't call ROTD3 original becyase it involves piercing someone with glass, nor can you call it original because it is exactly the same as Bride of Frankenstien.
You CAN call Shaun of the Dead original for it's use of humor, however. It's use of romance and it's great characters that are the last type of characters you'd normally expect from a zombie film. Also, you're in the minority of thinking Shaun of the Dead is NOt funny, it's pretty much recognized as having some of the best humor ever to grace a horror film. Obviously, you're also in the minority of thinking that a crappy, unoriginal, cheesy sequel to a sequel is better then one of the most highly regaurded horror films released in recent years.
