Seriously, are the zombies too stupid to find the brain? Are they too weak to crack open the skull?

It was good but not my one of my favourites. The zombies are developing a form of intelligence and are empathetic to each other, but that's used to contrast with the cruelty of the humans living in Fiddler's Green. It makes the zombies sympathetic, but they aren't in perpetual suffering like RotLD's zombies. There's just something really creepy to me about a mostly decayed corpse saying it can feel itself rot.

I think Land of the Dead is very similar to I Am Legend where the "monsters" form their own society, which is fitting because Romero based his zombies off of the creatures in The Last Man on Earth which was in turn based on I Am Legend.
