ironically, the first 28 minutes of '28 days later' ... by newc0253	Mar 22nd, 2007 07:38:42 AM
was the best part of that film: those dv shots of an abandoned london. after that, it slowly went downhill towards what was ultimately a shitty conclusion. i still look forward to the sequel, though. despite the first film being overrated, it's still a concept with lots of potential.

Nothing to see here, move along, remeber to buy your ticket.
OK here's how this could work - by FluffyUnbound	Mar 22nd, 2007 07:54:03 AM
The reviewer in the link piece says that London has been fortified into safe zones and that's where all hell breaks loose. If they turn this into a zombie movie that riffs on the modern "surveillance state", and half the danger is that the fortress these people are in is also a cage that prevents their escape, then it might be a decent sequel.

That's my word from the council estates
I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS FILM by mr blandings	Mar 22nd, 2007 08:44:23 AM
the first one kicked major ass
The first movie Kicked Ass by Lord Trebuchet	Mar 22nd, 2007 09:07:44 AM
because it was a fresh, original take on the zombie genre. This one, not so much.
The Office by Squashua	Mar 22nd, 2007 09:20:02 AM
Greatest joke of all time in The Office; first real conversation between Jim and Pam since the split. Right up there with "WHAT IS THE DHARMA INITIATIVE???!!!???"

28 Weeks later makes the scary non-zombie, zombies.
So when do they start making by MoviePirate	Mar 22nd, 2007 09:42:51 AM
28 Months Later or 28 Years Later
Most. Unnecessary. Sequel. Ever by Lost Prophet	Mar 22nd, 2007 09:47:55 AM
I agree entirely with our poverty stricken dole scrounging chav. The estates have the truth
ah so it's by foree forehead	Mar 22nd, 2007 09:57:59 AM
children of men with zombies. ho-hum. first one started promisingly and ended as that accurate talkbacker said up there, "shittily." JACKIE-O: is your nickname a JOMF reference?
SEND MORE PARAMEDICS......... by 40 Mph	Mar 22nd, 2007 10:21:45 AM
I hope they use this line
Sounds great. We all should be glad for flesh ripping by Col. Tigh-Fighter	Mar 22nd, 2007 10:30:57 AM
zombies. And our council estate chav (who has the best grammar and punctuation of any chav I know) is wrong. And Kosher has a K, not a C. And the word from the estate? Gimmi me fackin giro yer cunt. Apples and pears, boiled beef and carrots, my ol'mans a dustman, any ol' iron...et cetera, et cetera
The first movie SUCKED HARD by Motoko Kusanagi	Mar 22nd, 2007 10:38:12 AM

fluffy by Holodigm	Mar 22nd, 2007 11:24:44 AM
that was land of the dead...
Yeah, the ending to the first one... by ScarranHalfBreed	Mar 22nd, 2007 11:27:08 AM
...was kind of a wet, limp-wristed slap with a sponge. Hopefully, this 'un will have a better ending, giving the whole story a great climax. Until 28 Months Later, obviously.
Who'd have thought... by TORTURE PWN	Mar 22nd, 2007 11:32:49 AM
that,with all of the remake shit,that I'd be awaiting a fucking SEQUEL for a breath of fresh air.Hollywood-whittling away at our expectations...one movie at a time.
sounds great! by Spice-Orange	Mar 22nd, 2007 12:18:19 PM
thats the cool think about zombie movies... you have the action and gore and scary stuff, but you also have the politics and "humanity" angle that comes into play and really makes the characters and viewer think about stuffs. Original Day of the Dead had some really good ideas in it.
crap by AvengingFist	Mar 22nd, 2007 12:35:10 PM
didnt like the first movie. zombie movies just need to end. its getting old.
Love the original and I'm looking forward to the sequel by rbatty024	Mar 22nd, 2007 12:35:32 PM
With some trepidation of course. I would be more excited if Danny Boyle returned to direct, because then you would know that at least one Brian Eno song would be featured on the soundtrack.
Sequels? That's for old folks! by Spandau Belly	Mar 22nd, 2007 12:43:46 PM
Seriously, you guys must be in some retirement home or something. I don't know anybody under 50 who goes to sequels. My friends and I all go to see prequels and remakes only. But it's hard to get organized since we can only communicate through texting and Facebook. I heard there used to be this thing called conversation and it happened in person or over the telephone. Maybe one of you old timers can teach me how to do that. It sounds like a great way to communicate, I just don't know how I'll express my mood without smiley icons.
i agree Kurzinski Valentine by council estate scumbag	Mar 22nd, 2007 01:19:23 PM
the idea and premise was brilliant, but once they introduced that army shit the film fell apart for me. this coulda been so good. the idea of a whole country closing down is just mind blowing, mate. BUT it fucked up when the army shit came in, as i said earlier, AND the whole REASON for the "rage" was fucking weak. i mean seriously fucking weak. and dats what drives the whole film! WTF! these guys should've thought that element through a bit better if dats the thing dats gonna hold the film together. now if thats what happened on the first film, how in the fuck of my mama's hairy pussy is this 28 years later or whatever its called gonna be any good. they struggled on the first one so this is gonna be cat shit.
Third Base! by BannedOnTheRun	Mar 22nd, 2007 01:29:57 PM
Everybody!
Maybe all of the infected eventually die of starvation by BannedOnTheRun	Mar 22nd, 2007 01:33:42 PM
...and come back as ZOMBIES!!! There's your twist.
rbatty024. are you serious? by council estate scumbag	Mar 22nd, 2007 02:16:57 PM
first one had great ideas but was flawed. now ur looking forward to this steaming pile of shit. this is a major fucking flawed production. shit! how can the public be so blind? no wonder film producers patronize us and force feed us 'shit on a plane' and 'shrek 15; donkey fucks the wolf by accident' and 'adam sandler is the 4 foot 2 talking turkey'. the latter is probably a real film. hey universal shitctures! dont sue me, mate! all is lost. wake me up when human mankind inteliigence returns.
oh the wit, BannedOnTheRun by council estate scumbag	Mar 22nd, 2007 02:20:01 PM
thats a great twist, fella. fucking hell. hollywood is so fucking shit its infecting the rest of america. switch the bloody BBC on for thatchters' fucking dried up ovaries sake and learn some shit and not come out with stupid thats not even witty.
I'll go and see it by Fuck The Napkin	Mar 22nd, 2007 03:50:05 PM
But only because they filmed a bit by my house and I want to see the local pub on the big screen.
I liked the first one a lot! by Zardoz	Mar 22nd, 2007 04:07:17 PM
I had to put my 28 cents in, so there!
Council.. by rbatty024	Mar 22nd, 2007 05:06:22 PM
To each their own, but I liked the first one...a lot. It's the thinking man's horror film (I once wrote an essay about the film using essays by Emma Goldman to analyze it). People generally hated the part where the army showed up, but without the army the major philisophical point of the film is lost. Sure, this is a sequel, and that's a bad sign in and of itself, but there are so few horror films that aren't just slasher flicks for the kids. I'm hoping this movie has one-tenth the intelligence of the first movie, which would put it light years beyond most horror films.
No Boyle = maybe catch it on netflix by 2Utah2	Mar 22nd, 2007 05:28:22 PM
Bottom line the first movie worked due to the direction and Cillian Murphy was pretty good in the lead role. Without either this sequel just seems to be a quick cash-in and nothing more.
crap! by hellnback	Mar 23rd, 2007 12:06:00 AM
this is no zombie movie dammit. get your zombies straight. these are just a bunch of folks that have some kind of virus that makes them go all crazy and shit. zombies are dead, these fucks are not. this movie will suck ass just like the first one.
rbatty024 by council estate scumbag	Mar 23rd, 2007 05:40:48 AM
you defend yaself well, son. me personally, i was disapointed in the first as i sed. it couldve been so much more. its like danny boyle handed over the directing duties half way thru to michael bay or uwe bol and said "hey pal, finish this movie up for me".
what's up with the posting by Lost Prophet	Mar 23rd, 2007 07:56:05 AM
just trying to see if this is working
This film Rocked ! by blackflower	Jun 12th, 2007 02:26:56 PM
I wasnt expecting much...but this film was amazing , not without fault , but all the same brilliant. No cash in ,no Hollywood bullshit . It's funny to read what people think befor they even see somthing.....Anyways, each to their own......
