"28 Days" Series: Love It or Hate It?

[peel15]

Weeks was such a letdown and Days was such a master peice. Which made weeks such a big let down. Honestly I wish they would have stopped after days. I mean the zombies all started to die because they were starving and there was a male and female left to repopulate the world. Instead they gave us a piece of crap sequel. Angry Face >.<

Heh, I've heard good things about these films, but I've yet to have the pleasure of watching them. Do you think that, if the cycle continues, there will eventually be a 28 Millenia Later?

Days was an awesome movie. Weeks has terrible. Weeks was full of dumb characters and annoying cliches.

Spoiler: Weeks spoiler

I mean who thought that putting everyone in a room and locking the door was a good idea?

 

[Ekonk]

Days was awesome, Weeks was less awesome.

28 days, awesome movie, revitalised zombie flicks. 28 weeks, samey hollywood bullcrap, which made me severly unhappy considering the awesomeness of the first movie. I will reserve judgement on the sure to be upcoming "28 months later", "28 years later" and "28 decades later".

28 Days Later was ok, I still like Dawn of the Dead a lot more, and 28 Weeks Later was total crap.

28 days was good, 28 weeks was EPIC.

28 days was good, 28 weeks was EPIC.

Shouldn't this be turned around? =-/

I love the 28 days later series, although the first one was better. From what I've heard, there will be a 28 months later movie, which will take place somewhere in Russia, although I don't know the current status of its production.

28 Days Later was one of the most overrated zombie movies ever, the ideas for the zombies themselves were great but the pacing basically split the movie into three parts, with the first being a good zombie movie, the second being a mediocre roadie and the third feeling like an out-of-place commentary on the military that tried too hard to transcend similar commentary from movies like Night of the Living Dead without the same impact of that film.

28 Weeks Later was a pile of shit. Where Days tried to be a zombie movie before trying too hard to be something more, Weeks tried too hard from the beginning and forgot to make likable characters or a coherent plot.

28 Weeks is not a good sequel, 28 Days was brilliant, a grade A post-disaster film, but 28 Weeks Later feels like a shoddy action film, and the Americans (I'm sorry if this is insulting to anyone) Act with such blindness to the situation that it is laughable. So yeah Days yeah its good, Weeks we can do without.

Yep. I loved both of them, but if it wasnt for Captain America Sniper Pants then it would have been a meh movie. I dont give a shit what people have heard of American soldiers. You dont ever get the order to fire on innocents, despite that being a pretty awesomesauce sniper scene.

I really like the actor who played the sniper, and for those of you whp dont know, He gives a fresh dose of murder to at least one person in every movie he is in.

Edit: maybe to clear up why I quoted you, its that the Americans were batshit stupid in that movie.

Cillian Murphy, another reason to be proud to be Irish.
Not to mention Brendon Gleeson, both are brilliant actors in the first one.
The second one was underappreciated and frankly a bit more pulpy than the first, but still a good story and well played out. I agree with the creator of the topic, more humanity in the first one.

 

[Acidwell]

28 Days was a fantastic new take on the genre while 28 weeks was pretty pathetic.
It had none of the tension of the first and it felt like someone saw the first one and said yeah thats awesome lets make another zombie movie that has nothing to do with anything.
And i know to make it stand out lets make it shitter

 

[SomebodyNowhere]

I liked 28 Days Later, but 28 Weeks Later took everything that was great most specifically the style and crapped all over it.

I'm glad someone else saw that aspect to the movie. =-D

28 days was an intresting film. the degredation of humanity is so well played out which made it rather decent. the emotions and demension given to the individuals and their own coping method was well portrayed and played out in my oppinon.

28 weeks on the other hand was a measure in stupidity which proceeded to write in stupid plot twists and crude segue deluded in absolute idiocy to act as a driving force for the group.

Hey! we found a survivor that is infected! lets just leave her unattended here, whats the worse that could happen? whats that? Holy S*#t! the unattended infected person in the lower levels Infected some one! Hurry! Shuffle all the unarmed and helpless civilians into the lower levels!

the charicters in the film also have little to no drive or demension besides 'thar be a cure!... maybe...' which pushes them to self sacrifice, suicide, and brave stupidity...

A new director took over, which took away Daniel Boyle's brilliance.

 

[TheTaco007]

Meh, days was OK. rest.... not so much.

 

[RanD00M]

Days was much better.Sure,weeks was alright.But it had been "Amercianazied."By being a more of action movie.Unlike the original,which was more of a survival flick.
