nowhere near the standard set by the original

Rating: 5/10 (16 July 2007)

for me,this sequel to "28 Weeks Later" is quite inferior to the first one.i found it slow and very boring for the most part.there is less action,but when there is action,it is relentless and frenetic.this is a good thing,except there are not enough of these scenes in the movie.on the plus side i thought the infected had a much better look in this one.they really looked more enraged in this one.i did not like however,the emphasis on gore in this one,compared to the first.i don't mind gore,but the first one succeeded without it,so this one should have as well.mind you there isn't a lot of gore compared to other movies.but there was too much for this movie.i also didn't like the ending.it was too abrupt for my taste.there was a 5 year gap between the original and this movie.to me,it wasn't worth the wait.i won't say this movie is horrible.it isn't,it just doesn't measure up to the standard of the original.if their is a third,i hope they do a better job than this one.for me, "28 Weeks Later" is a 5/10
