Isn't the new one meant to be set in France, seen as how Weeks ended with a shot of the Eiffel Tower?
Days was awesome, Weeks was...a little weaker. Bloody gruesome in parts though. I guess it's worth a watch but...yeah, it wasn't as good as Days, because that was like...primal fear. The guy had no clue what he'd awoken to, but the guy in Weeks was...you know, a government official or something.
Unless they do something EPIC of EPIC proportions for Months then...I can see it being a big flop.

Yeah, 'Weeks' was kind of ridiculous.
'Oh look! There's someone driving a car!
Well, it must be a zombie. They have all the skills necessary for driving.
DESTROY'
That's why I got pissed off with it.

I loved 28 Days Later, bit the second was pretty much garbage. Right around the time that the movie made me feel like reaching through the screen and strangling the child actors.

Totally agree, I loved watching the first movie and thought, "hey, second movie? should be good"
Yeah, not so much... I wanted to kill the people that made the second movie for what they did. (well, not really kill... perhaps just shoot with a nerf gun or something and annoy them)
And normally when I watch a movie that is weak like weeks... er... no pun intended... ahem... I go with the whole "Leave your brain at the door" idea and just try to enjoy the movie for what it is, could not even do that for weeks.
Yes, that was a bit dumb. Unless the soldiers behind the gang were all robots programed to destroy human life.DontHassleTheHoff said:
I liked both. The first one of course more. To be honest its my favorite zombie movie even though they aren't technically zombies. I just hate the slow as hell zombies. It makes me wonder how do people get infected by crap that moves as fast as an Apple Lisa When you're am Asus RoG laptop
28 Days Later reshaped the entire landscape of Zombie movies worldwide, 28 weeks later was still sorta good but suffered heavily from a different director, and pretty idiotic writing in some parts (Cause you know mindless killing machines can totally drive cars and say "STOP SHOOTING AT US WE"RE NOT INFECTED", good job with that army helicopter pilot).
I shall reserve my judgement of "Months" for until I see it, I'm not holding my breath but hey they have Danny Boyle back.

For the record, I think it was made pretty obvious that the army going apeshit on civilians in Weeks was a metaphor for America's usual military operations in regards to differentiating civilians from terrorists and/or guerrilla fighters, it just happened to be so stupid and obvious that it made most of the people watching the movie think "why the fuck are they shooting uninfected people" instead of seeing the message that the movie was trying to convey. That the movie sacrificed characters and plot to build that metaphor, then fuck it up so bad that most people don't even get what it was supposed to represent, is the main reason why 28 Weeks Later will burn in movie hell right next to every M. Night Shymalan abortion since Sixth Sense.
