First? by SpencerTrilby	Apr 13th, 2007 05:44:51 PM
Fuck off, I don't care. The fist one was a lame "Romero for Dummies" complete with the civilized zomb. The first 30 minutes were very good though, what a waste of talents.

Always confusing zombies with civilians, Croatians would never allow this to happen.
I'm excited to see this by quadrupletree	Apr 13th, 2007 06:06:15 PM
I loved the first film so much. I'm not a huge zombie movie fan and the first movie caught me so off guard. I hope this is good. Don't fuck it up!

Intacto... by Garbageman33	Apr 13th, 2007 06:34:10 PM
Wasn't a great film, but it looked amazing. Hopefully, he kept the same cinematographer. Not really buying the casting of Robert Carlyle, though. To go from Cillian Murphy to him is a bit like the Hulk going from Eric Bana to the lunkheaded brother from Prison Break. Ok, maybe not that bad. But you get the idea.

Blade 2 was awful. by iamnicksaicnsn	Apr 13th, 2007 06:36:59 PM
Horrible offensive peace of shit garbage.
why the hate for the Chris Eccleston part. by modlight	Apr 13th, 2007 06:51:12 PM
I thought it was great, the whole army guy thing. They took a different turn. So sue them. whatever.
I hated 28 Days Later, but I will see this. by Brendan3	Apr 13th, 2007 06:59:41 PM
I thought 28 Days Later was a good idea... but bad film, ruined by a self indulgent director more interested in stylized shots than logic and common sense. I'm looking forward to 28 Weeks Later. I think it's a great concept and hopefuly it will be done right this time.

Thank you for correcting me. :D
Funny post Lando by Darth Thoth	Apr 13th, 2007 07:38:54 PM
28th! That was hilarious. Yeah, I'm looking forward to this movie. I enjoyed the first one and can't wait to see what they do with the sequel.
From Alien to Aliens and from by MrJJonz	Apr 13th, 2007 07:45:33 PM
Blade to Blade II. Aliens was fun but not as atmospheric as Alien. Blade was good, Blade II shit. 28 days later was average at best so the comparison probably isn't the best way of selling it.
I'm rubbing my balls together by ballsmcretard	Apr 13th, 2007 07:58:40 PM
three times for luck to ensure this will be a fine movie...for god's sake please dont let this guy ruin the series until Boyle can get back to the helm for part 3...my balls never let me down
...Blade 2 and Aliens... by mr ahole ramirez	Apr 13th, 2007 08:41:08 PM
...Alien was a scary movie in space but Aliens was a cool ass action army movie set in space...I prefer Aliens over Alien...and Blade 2 was neat wit the evolutionized vampire (has anyone done that before B2?) and I liked the vampire hunters...I mean, come on, who didnt think Snowman was cool...the name alone is cool...
...another thing bout Blade 2... by mr ahole ramirez	Apr 13th, 2007 08:43:56 PM
...it had the best lookin romantic lead/female character in all the Blade movies...Jessica Biel cant hold a candle to whatever that girls name is (she played Marta in Arrested Development)...
28 Days Later- the happy/sappy/crappy hollywood ending by electroaddict	Apr 13th, 2007 08:57:21 PM
I liked "28 Days Later" up until the very end- where SPOILER ALERT all 3 main characters survive and live happily ever after in a nice little cottage in the country. BOO! The director should've had some BALLS and used the original ending (which is viewable on the DVD) where the guy dies and the two girls are left to fend for themselves. It was harsh, realistic and very satisfying. If only that ending was tacked onto the actual film, I'd say "28 Days Later" was probably the best zombie movie of all time. I'll give this new "28" a spin, but I'm not expecting anything great.
ZOMBIE PLANT: SHOOT THE HEAD AND THE BODY WILL DIE by Pound Sand	Apr 13th, 2007 08:58:19 PM

funny you should say electroaddict by aestheticity	Apr 13th, 2007 09:46:39 PM
that ending is always tacked onto the very end when the film is televised, at least here in britain. even though its an alternate ending, tacking it on like they do makes it seem more like the REAL ending, with the happy ever after ending being the guys dying coma dream.
The Australian ending to 28 Days Later by Laserbrain	Apr 13th, 2007 10:55:37 PM
may be similar to the British TV ending mentioned above. In our theatrical release the story ended with the trio's survival however after the end credits the subtitle "But what if...?" appeared segueing into the more downbeat hospital scene where Jim died leaving the two girls alone. I am annoyed to this day that the Aus DVD retains the happy denouement while relegating the downer ending to the deleted scenes.

Need to get the PLANT out of my teeth..... Am really looking forward to this though!!
ok just downloaded that farmhouse scene by Turd Furgeson	Apr 13th, 2007 11:54:20 PM
and it is fucking intense!!! Thanks for the heads up landster. Now im really excited to see this.

People saying "plant" with this review... by ScarranHalfBreed	Apr 14th, 2007 03:32:25 AM
...must be fucking psychic. This doesn't seem like a plant review to me, and those who are saying it is are just craving attention. So shut the fuck up.

fuck the alternative ending for 28 days later by The Kusabi	Apr 14th, 2007 05:43:18 AM
There was two refreshing things about 28 days later (A) it was a horror movie that had a male lead character as opposed to a run-of-the-mill female final-girl survivor and (B) HE DIDN'T FUCKING DIE AT THE END. And yet some people aren't happy because he didn't. Probably because he didn't die some sacrificial death for the sake of some woman who started out willing to leave him to be torn to pieces. Hint, it was his fucking story and the ending to it was fucking brilliant.
Trainspotting 2 by Bobo_Vision	Apr 14th, 2007 06:32:40 AM
In other Danny Boyle news, Trainspotting 2 is going to be made, with the original lead actors returning too.

Helicopter Blades and Zombies... by Leto III	Apr 14th, 2007 08:50:45 AM
GRINDHOUSE didn't do this concept first...that honor belongs to Max Brooks's novel WORLD WAR Z, at the Battle of Yonkers. Though both were clearly developed independently of one another, so we'll cut Rodriguez some slack, there. How 28 WEEKS handles it, however, remains to be seen.

The ending of 28 Days Later by tapehead	Apr 14th, 2007 10:42:14 AM
I read in a recent interview with Boyle on the BBC website that the original script Alex Garland wrote had a finale where the three survivors left Heathrow in a passenger jet with the infected/zombies hanging off the plane getting sucked into the engines. They made the movie they could make and the three survived. It's great to see deleted scenes and alternate endings on DVDs, but if you listen to Boyle's commentary it's pretty clear why they weren't used.

28 Days Later was genius... by YO MOM'S GOAT	Apr 14th, 2007 12:51:30 PM
All of you panty-waists who think it sucked once the soldiers showed up don't understand the movie. It wasn't just some zombie horror Dark Castle crap. It was a movie about the nature of violence and the human animal. Geez louise. For a site with political commentary all over the place and talkbackers who seem to find some anti-American message in every scene of every flick ever made and are just convinced that they KNOW film you're all a bunch of twits. Look a little deeper. You might enjoy it more.
Yo Moms Goat by PotSmokinAlien	Apr 14th, 2007 01:18:24 PM
personally i think the very reason it sucked is exactly what you say. that is hardly deep or new ground to cover and they didnt do it in a different way at all. up to then it had been a pretty original movie and that is where it turns into a giant, obvious cliche. thats why it takes a turn for the worse.
28 Days Was Shit by DannyOcean01	Apr 14th, 2007 03:35:38 PM
A very dull Romero rip-off lauded because they cleared out Londons streets for a few hours. Just because it wasn't glossy like the similar scene in Vanilla Sky we're supposed to wank explode....No..sorry..
IMO, people who hated 28 days later have a screw loose by smackfu	Apr 14th, 2007 04:58:25 PM
as it was the first interesting and entertaining zombie movie I've seen in at least a decade. The first one cool enough to buy and watch repeatedly. Basically, if you look at all those other predictable clones of zombie movies out there, and think 28 Days Later was the one that was shit, your opinion means shit on the subject. Because saying that is basically like saying Fight Club was stupid, no where near as good as Con Air or White Chicks.
Using Helicopter Blades to Chew Up Zombies, I Meant... by Leto III	Apr 14th, 2007 06:41:05 PM

Blade II sucks compared to the first movie by AlwaysThere	Apr 14th, 2007 08:55:24 PM
How dare you say there's a jump in quality.
28 Days Later = pure ownage by Chief Redcock	Apr 14th, 2007 09:56:35 PM
Hopefully this will own too (though I wish Boyle had returned).

As the review said basicly...
The key to the 'empty London' sequence by performingmonkey	Apr 15th, 2007 11:51:14 AM
They shot it at 4am in the middle of summer then digitally altered Big Ben to another time rather than having to digitally remove people/cars. They only had to close the road off for something like 10 minutes.
Did I just read that correctly? by ViolentN8	Apr 15th, 2007 03:14:54 PM
Did this 'Spy' just compare 28 Days Later and fucking Blade to ALIEN? Wow.
PotSmokinAlien by YO MOM'S GOAT	Apr 15th, 2007 05:55:09 PM
If you didn't like it because it was a morality play about the positive use of horrific interpersonal violence then that's one thing, but you're one of the few. Most of these enlightened lefties on this site and in these talkbacks say they hated it because "I hate stupid soldiers and it wasn't no flippin' zombie movie no more jest a stupid soldier movie and who cares about dem soliers." They hate it because the driver of the narrative turns from "real cool zombies" to "stupid soldiers," thus proving they are idiots and didn't get the movie at all. Tools.
ViolentN8 by YO MOM'S GOAT	Apr 15th, 2007 05:56:49 PM
I'd compare 28 Days Later to Alien. They're both fantastic. The former just has less of a mass market appeal and didn't draw the cross-over audience that Alien did. But both, in their own way, are genius. Yes. I said it. Genius.
Blade II by Sappers Forward	Apr 15th, 2007 05:59:23 PM
You wrote: "In short it’s pretty much the leap that Alien made to Aliens or Blade did to Blade II" Blade II sucked ass and it only ruined status that the original Blade was enjoying. The third movie isn't even worth mentioning..now I must vomit a little bit for even thinking about it.... So if this movie follows in that tradition as you've so stated,...I'll be happy to miss this one.
ViolentN8 by decfx	Apr 15th, 2007 06:04:10 PM
28 Days Later could never come close to Alien. I'm glad you like "28" but after the first half, it went downhill big time!! Just a mess. By the way, Blade II sucked.
oops..I meant YO MOM'S GOAT by decfx	Apr 15th, 2007 06:05:23 PM
I meant YO MOM'S GOAT!!! LOL. That's what I get.
So many idiots.... by pdennett316	Apr 15th, 2007 07:45:02 PM
1) Robert Carlyle could out-act Cilian (thin gothy twat) Murphy any day of the week. 2) 28 Days Later was fantastic. 3) It did not have a 'tame' zombie in it a la Day/Land of the Dead. One of the soldiers was infected and they tied him up out back before he turned. He wasn't trained, as evidenced by him eating the other squaddies who fucked with him. 4) Blade 2 ruled, and was superior to the great original in every way. 5) Romero didn't start the zombie genre, he just popularised it, zombies existed before his films. Thus Romero is a some-other-guy-ripoff.
Can't wait. by livrule	Apr 15th, 2007 07:49:59 PM
But as has been said already .... Dr Who and his gang of grunts ruined the first film.
ZOMBIES GOTTA EAT by JackSack	Apr 15th, 2007 09:05:36 PM
