Hard to tell If it's going to do the first movie any justice. I'm getting a bit of a cheezy vibe from the trailers actually and 'from the producers of...' isn't usually a good sign. Director Fresnadillo doesn't seem to have a large body of work to judge so all fingers are crossed.
*edit* this seems to be a better trailer actually (international) http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/28_weeks_later/

but I agree.. I cant imagine in comparing to the first half of the original.. second half got a little weak
I feel the need to resurrect that thing every 2 or so weeks.
This movie just looks great.
Seriously.
I personally *did like the second half of 28dayslater, shockingly enough, and i have faith that this one'll turn out good as well. Even if it doesn't though, zombie-movies need to try VERY hard, should they want to dissapoint.
Disappoints me that it seems to be centered around a child. I hate that shit. Hopefully it doesn't suck.
New director
I hope this one is just as good.
I'd rather have Carrot Top starring.
firstly, the kid thing is just an old horror standby. want to make the audience feel even less in control? show them everything through the eyes of a kid. mostly it's just a cop out. there's a better chance of it hindering than helping, but i'm not passing judgement on that just yet.
seeing as there's not a lot tying the two films together other than the title & britain in shambles, they seem like different movies. to be honest, i loved the first one until i heard danny boyle ranting up & down that it was 'not a zombie movie' and it kind of just irritated me to the point of turning me off the movie a bit.
all that having been said, as cool as a vacant london is in the start of 28 days later, you missed some of the best parts in a zombie film, namely, everything turning to shit! this movie looks to be making up for it & then some!
anyway, the trailer made me like muse (it was cut so well), & i hate muse! so i'll probably be shelling out the money to see it. still not trying to get too excited about it though.

I'm not all that into the second one, saw the trailer for it in the theater when I went to see 300. Looks a little balls, but only time will tell.

By the way, Zombies are undead, these people are "infected" and they're still alive. But if you feel better calling them zombies, alright then. I felt like clearing that one up.
I loved the first half of 28 days later, the second half died in the ass because it wasn't what I was expecting. I'm sure if I saw it a second time, I may enjoy it more.

you sound like danny boyle
if there was one thing that made 28 days later not a zombie it was that at the very end, the complete cop out, allowing the rage-infected to just kind of starve. but i feel better now. a lot of good that did, obviously lol

The two young actors do a good job. Neither of them are exactly amazing thespians, but they do a good job of not being irritating and looking scared and thats all I ask. They certainly don't lower the tone of the movie which is quite a relief.
A tense, sometimes genuinely scary horror movie of rare quality. Go check it out at the cinema - it benefits a lot from the full cinematic audio.
Man, this movie kicks ASS. Without going into detail, I'll just say zombie fans will love this (the first ten minutes are INTENSE), and it definitely holds itself up to the first film. A solid sequel (which is rare these days!)
Amazing movie. Some parts where the acting wasn't great, but you can't expect top-end talent for a horror movie
I think I actually liked this better than the first. Very tense moments, absolutely loved it.
it was cool because it was much more along the lines of the 'zombie war' movie, like land of the dead than the rio bravo/siege type zombie movie. but from the angle of the civilians, which i haven't seen yet.
it was weird because it seems as though you should be rooting for these people to escape, but there's not much in the way of character development (or at least not enough imo). So when everything does turn to shit, you're not really concerned about their well-being, as much as waiting for the extreme violence. either to the movies benefit/detriment. i'm still undecided.
personally i thought the kids were annoying, but mostly just straight up retarded.
oh... & begby showing up everywhere got ridiculous
EDIT - And in response to geezus, there's a lot of nice shots in this one too, but mostly they're aerial.
