1. Best Zombie Movie in YEARS!
Those quick cuts they showed of the zombies? Man that was good!

Single-handedly revived the zombie genre...

2. I was disappointed, didn't think it lived up to the hype.
Liked Dawn of the Dead (remake) much better even though they copped the "fast zombies" thing from 28 days.

3. I liked it
It seemed that the "Dawn" remake took from "28 Days".

6. Awesome flick, but
it wasn't nearly as scary as it was played up to be. However it was an excellent story, and the shots of a deserted London were just chilling.

7. Liked the cinematography..


Thought the "zombies" were really cool...there were intense scenes...but the stupidity of the characters ruined it for me.

There were also sappy scenes that sucked the life from the film, plus a lack of cohesion...characters did things that made no sense. Like this guy goes inside this abandoned shed to find a hanburger because he is hungry..

"Hey guys! Im going to go inside this abandoned shed even though we are running from a city full of zombies!"...

It was forehead slappingly stupid, many times....

9. Infection
Also, why didn't the infected turn on each other? If the disease caused rage, why didn't it seem to work among them as well?

8. Great movie!

:thumbsup:

Intelligent story, terrific visuals, and scary as hell. I loved that to defeat the evil Jim had to become like the zombies himself ... an interesting twist and commentary.

But where was Sandra Bullock? :)

12. I agree ***SPOILER ALERT***
The fact that they used the main problem (the Infected) as a solution to another problem (the military wackos) was a good twist.

10. Wonderful Film
Edited on Sat May-01-04 09:53 PM by ribofunk
Classic and a little different from other horror movies. British cinema is not dead.

14. Thought it was
terrible. I would have left, except I wasn't the one who drove. But as is my new motto for differences in opinion, it takes different strokes for different folks.
