I was looking forward to this from the first moment I found out about it. But I should have prepared myself for dissapointment.

I'm afraid my venting requires it's own thread.

I should have known it would suffer from the dreaded sequelitis. A different writer, a different director, no returning cast. Alarm bells should have started ringing.
The first film was so good. It adapted the zombie theme into something fresh, and the transformation of Jim through the film is spectacular to behold.

But 28 weeks felt like a money making amateur hour and they've lined it up nicely for a third. Woes!
Just what was wrong with it. Too many moody close ups? The annoyingly bad acting of the blonde girl, Tammy? The stinky bad story?
Two things really did it for me. The beginning of the film was fantastic, where Don leaves his wife to be eaten. I was hoping to see some brilliant development of Don's character. Instead I got a terrible moral message; if you leave your wife/loved ones/friends to be eaten then you'll turn into a speed zombie and try to eat your kids. How rubbish?
Then the scene where the helicopter blades chop up all the chasing zombies. How convenient, and done when the pilot had lost control. I didn't think I would be watching James Bond in action.
From that point on I just wanted the film to end quickly and painlessly.

I know loads of people loved it but I hated it. Maybe my expectations were too high.

Anyway, let the flinging of rotten tomatoes commence :)
