cant wait to see this! nah danny boyle didnt direct this one but he (i think) is one of the producers for it.

Just saw this last night and i was very impressed.

Good use of the extra budget without anything looking too glossy and over the top. Robert Carlyle = one creepy fucking zombie. That bit with the helicopter (rest of the cinema screaming - me pishing myself laughing). Dawn of the Dead-ish satire.

All in all a big thumbs up.

next movie "Le 28 Months Later" ?

I went to see this last night, it's top notch. Very, very bleak though.

Went to see this last night and i was well impressed, far more action than the first one, pretty nonstop. Excellent film and quite alot of scares

I went to see this on saturday night, all I can say is that it was pretty fucking awesome. The bit during the chopper scene *if you've seen it, you'll know what I'm talking about* was top notch and the special effects blew me away

Cool! Really didn't have much hopes for this but I'll defintley make an effort to check it out now.

samuraisloth · 22nd May 2007, 11:18 AM

twas simply braw! Personally I preferred this to 28 days later. Chopper scene was class and the ending was well...as bryan said bleak!

Mugetsu · 23rd May 2007, 10:56 PM

This was pretty fucking jumpy like! Also fairly brutal. Carlyle is one badass mofo!

I really, really enjoyed this, but:

Spoiler:

Seeing as the Bobby Carlisle thing's been spoiled, there's nothing holding me back from saying that his constant reappearance throughout the film really fucking annoyed me. I think it would've been better if he'd just just kind of vanished like most of the other zombies... The way he kept reappearing to hunt his kids was a little lame. I mean, there's bits where he shows more intelligence than your average zombie, like hiding behind a wall to avoid the firebomb. I don't know if I really like that. Him becoming a zombie in the first place was an awesome twist, cause I thought he'd be the hero of the day, or at least one of the last ones to die

.

And yeah, the chopper scene is fucking amazing! Loved the visuals, especially the aerial views of empty London which (if I remember right) weren't really used in the first one, or certainly not on that scale.

An example of a good sequel. I actually love the way zombies are portrayed in modern films; horrible, blood spewing things that just chase people. The Romero films (while really nostalgic and excellent viewing) look really, really dated now; loads of people in green makeup pulling silly faces and stumbling around like drunks outside your local.
