I saw The Crazies earlier today and I'm still thinking about it. It definitely exceeded my expectations... Not that I really had any... I've never seen the original and didn't feel it had anything to live up to. I plan on watching the original soon, and if it's as good as the remake I wont be disappointed.
The only downside was it's reliance on cheap scares at some times. Like 'pop out at your face' or the 'unexpected loud noise' cliche. I also felt that it could have given us a bit more gore to chew on. A lot of the time something violent happens, it's shot from an angle where you can't really see anything. It's the horror equivalent of softcore porn. It's just not as satisfying as the real deal.
The movie's still a blast, and I recommend you see it in theaters while you still can. Hearing people scream and jump when stuff happens is always oddly satisfying.
So go see it. Now.
