poor stuff

Rating: 1/10 (1 June 2007)

I like 28 days later , its a good movie. Good character that you can empathise with and follow throughout the film, a slow build of of tension and the explosive gory ending.This sequel has none of this. The gore begins right from the off and is laid on too thick and too fast , making it lose its impact and seem slightly comedic at times. None of the characters are likable apart from Robbie Carlises , who isn't given enough decent screen time to carry the film. The gore/violence gets more and more ridiculous and at times it was like watching one of those crappy films like Hostel or the remake of the Texas chainsaw massacre.Basically this film relies too heavily on the "shock factor".Whereas 28 days later is a decent dark drama/horror, the sequel is just a pointless romp which uses up gallons fake blood in an attempt to keep its audiences attention. Needless to say , I thought this movie was a wasted opportunity and left the cinema disappointed.
