Am I the only one who hated this movie!?

Seriously, such a stereotypical zombie plot. Not to mention Resident Evil already basically did it. Granted the first boring half hour of the movie roaming around London had some great shots, but then the plot just gets damned ridiculous. An army base? I think the only good part of the movie.....

***SPOILER AHEAD!***







Is when the bastard dies at the end.













SPOILER OVER

What are your thoughts on the movie?

Ryan_Zombie 12-15-2003 06:14 PM

hated it.

LegionFilms 12-15-2003 06:33 PM

I thought it was alright, entertaining at best. And that market scene...wtf was that shit?

Dave 12-15-2003 06:53 PM

You aren't the only one. I did not like it said Sam I Am.

MichaelMyers 12-15-2003 07:13 PM

Actually, I thought it was anything but your stereotypical zombie movie. That's just me.

Yeah, this wasn't like a Romero movie or anything..for one they weren't dead yet. They moved a lot quicker than typical zombies, but I though the ones in House of the Dead were much better, even though the movie blows goats.

Ulrik 12-16-2003 01:06 AM

dont worry ur not the only one..it fucking sucked so much cock it should have never been made..

moonsorrow 12-16-2003 02:13 AM

i thought it rocked, it had nothing to do with zombies though what the fuck is that about? so dont call it a stereotypical zombie movie, they were infected with rage, simpley pissed of not the living dead.
and how can you even compare it to resident evil, my friend i think you are a few beers short of a sixpack.

Dave 12-16-2003 04:16 AM

This is another definition of a zombie: "Someone who acts or responds in a mechanical or apathetic way." I think that is why people are calling them zombies, not because they were like the living dead zombies but more like people who didn't respond to anything other than an inner force or some shit. I have no idea what I'm trying to say, it's hard to explain. Someone else may be able to do it better. Still, I wish they would have been straffed by the jet at the end with their "Hello" message.

moonsorrow 12-16-2003 04:20 AM

well mr. smith i guess that pretty much does define zombies, but i cant remember ever hearing anyone call it a zombie movie, just one mans opinion i guess.

AUSTIN316426808 12-16-2003 04:56 AM

28 DAYS IS A ZOMBIE MOVIE IT SAYS IT IN THE ADVERTISMENTS.

AND BY THE WAY I THOUGHT IT WAS A OK MOVIE STARTED OUT WEAK THEN HE FOUND THOSE TWO GOT GOOD UNTIL THEY GOT INTO THE APARTMENT WITH THE MAN AND GIRL,THEN IT WAS WEAK UNTILE THEY GOT TO THE BASE THEN IT WAS OK UNTIL THE PART WHERE THAT SICK SON OF A BITCH MAJOR TOLD JIM HIS PLANS FOR THE GIRLS,THEN IT GOT GOOD WHEN JIM GOT BACK TO THE BASE AGAIN.

THAT'S THE KIND OF MOVIE IT WAS ON AND OFF.

Completely agree with you. Not the living dead. WERE NOT dead. Were INFECTED. And if you are going by your second definition of "zombie" they were not mechanical or apathetic. They were highly animated and HATED the uninfected. So they do clearly care about something: spreading their disease.

_Leatha_Face_ 12-16-2003 08:05 AM

for starters its been asked before but youv never answered i belive...WHY THE FUCK DO YOU KEEP TYPING WITH THE FUCKING CAPS ON!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? its anoying, personaly all i want to do when i see piss like that is to smash that persons hands with his keyboard wether its conan or ms. daisy!!! WHY FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WHY!?

now that i got that out of my system...they were zombie like... no doubt, mindless people infected with some little experiment, the reviewers called it a zombie movie not the producers or publishers. and if you want a movie with all action and no story its time to rent a sleezy porn. imo character development and story telling is important to, i enjoyed hearing the story that the guy who got his arm chopped off told, it was a laugh seing them run amoch in the story... every element of that movie had a story to tell no matter how small.... in short.... yes.

28 DAYS LATER
 
I'm a big fan. Loved 28 DAYS LATER.

Was it a tad overrated? Yeah, probably. Was it original? No, it wasn't the most original movie in the world. But was it scary? IMO that's a huge, resounding YES!

I love movies propelled by a horror that could conceivably *really happen*. To me, that's the scariest kind of horror movie of all . . . .


Believe it or not, some of my favorite scenes were the "quieter" ones, though. The scenes of Jim wondering a lonely, desolate city. Totally *alone*.


Great stuff. I bought it the day it came out.


Oh, yeah . . . and I totally agree about the ALL-CAPS thing. :)

I was extremely let down by this film. It was tedious depressing and not scary! a typical British arty attempt at doing horror,something we haven't managed to do since the demise of the hammer studios.

i remember some of the ads talking about them being zombies, and before the movie came out, a lot of the people who told me about the movie coming out thought it was a zombie movie too...i always thought that was what it was before i saw it

ds_spoon 12-17-2003 01:08 PM

i must say i thought that 28 days later wasnt just any old zombie movie and i thought resident evil was one of the worst films i have ever seen crap if they had made 28 days later and called it resident evil ( obviously changing a few things) it might not of ruined my impression of resident evil games..

moonsorrow 12-17-2003 01:56 PM

i have an argument about you using caps
for starters it looks untidy makes what
your saying hard to read and why always
use caps when no-one else does if people
are asking you not to use caps then why
use them???? so please stop using caps
unless its appropriate thanks...

THAT'S ALL I WANTED SOMEONE TO GIVE A MEANINGFUL COMPLAINT AND MOST OF ALL TO ASK WITHOUT BEING A JERK ABOUT IT. THIS IS THE LAST TIME I'LL BE USING CAPS UNLESS IT'S APPROPRIATE.

ds_spoon 12-18-2003 01:27 PM

This reminds me of a story about a lonely man walking through the countryside. The wind made a bet with the sun that he could get him out of his coat first. The sun gladly took the bet and sat back as the wind blew and blew and blew. With each breath the wind took, the man pulled his coat tighter and tighter. Finally, the sun stepped in and shined as brightly as he could and the man took off his coat.

Think about it.
