Man the second one really knows how to ruin a good plot twist. Spoilers?

The first one had Matrix-style zombie dodging, and 360 degree camera rotation closeups of the protagonists blasting themselves and zombies in slow motion. It did this like what, fifteen + times at least?

But the second one, dang. Every five minutes, someone gets infected, and another person has to kill them. What would normally be a tragic depiction of sacrifice and coping with loss becomes meaningless time consumption.

And I swear, it does that more often than all the matrix scenes and video game footage splices of the first one, combined.

-_-

I'm surprised they didn't start diving into the topic of zombies infecting themselves and crap.

But as a film it was very good.

The 1st film was just the biggest pile of Sh!te i have ever watched. It was so bad I nearly choaked on my dinner cos I was laughing too much.

This film is far better than the 1st

Yes, first part was fun, and this is just dumb and boring. I just can`t understand how people find sequel better than the firs.

I loved those 9 minutes of the first movie killing zombies, with all the stuff you mention.

The second film is better as it doesn't have the 'video game' style scenes.

Plus it has the amazingly gorgeous Emmanuelle Vaugier looking superhot so it wins.
