Let me begin with the ending. DO NOT LEAVE DURING THE CREDITS ROLLING. If you do, you will miss so many things. My Husband and I went to see this movie on Friday night for the opening and we so impressed, we went back the very next day and watched it again. Seeing it twice in a row took nothing away from it. When we saw the film on Friday, we went with friends. After we left we all decided we needed a drink because we had all felt like we had been on a roller coaster that just would not stop! When you leave the cinema you are just freaked. You start thinking to yourself, what if this really did happen? How would you survive, what would be your plan? As we left the cinema which was also in a MALL we decided we could find better places to go that were more advantageous than a MALL. This new film in no way takes anything away from the original. Yes, the zombies are faster but they have evolved. I didn't really think that character development was all that important so for that reason I was not disappointed that the characters were not very well defined. Let's face it, the zombies are the true characters that needed defining and it was given through the film. I screamed, laughed, cried, screamed some more and applauded at points but as I said at the beginning, if you leave during the credits rolling you miss some very important points of the film. If I am being illusive it is because I don't want to give a thing away. Just keep in mind, you are going to see a film that is about zombies so don't get caught up in the character development or anything else. Sit back and buckle your seat belts because you are in for the ride of your life. Enjoy the film and watch it more than once. Don't compare it to 28 days because that isn't fair. They are 2 different films in their own rights. This film was awesome and to those of you who love to bring your kids to the cinema, DON'T!!!!!!!!!! This film could truly have them having nightmares for a long time. We noticed a lot of people with kids and ther ages anywhere from 6-13 and for me that was a bit much. I would never bring a small kid to see this one! If you read all these posts you can see that most adults are having a hard time with it so imagine the imaginative mind of a small child. Get a sitter.
