I saw both
Epic Movie and
28 Days Later last week!
Epic Movie, was a horrible, horrible film. I was expecting.... Dunno, more laughs? I only laughed a couple of times, but mainly was just waiting for the film to end. So boring. Most of the parodies (if you could call them that) were just pathetic.
I did however, like how it started out as a Willy Wonka, than moved onto Narnia... but everything else, just got tiresome. The only ones I remember enjoying, were the Harry Potter spoof, because it had one of my favorite voices from Lilo & Stitch, Pleakly! And the Pirates spoof, because the guy who played Depp was dead on! All the other spoofs, were just vulgar, and mainly consisted of bad jokes that fell flat.
It was worth a rental, I'll admit, but yeah.... mixed feelings.
28 Days Later, on the other hand, was fantastic! I'm not a real fan of horror, but this is one of those rare occasions. Yay! I really don't what to say, but almost everything the film saught out to do, was accomplished. One of the reasons I believe I enjoyed this so much, is that, in a way, it proves you can terrify and shock people without resorting to cutting off body parts. Major plus!
The story was also very interesting, and I liked the way it unraveled. And I liked the chemistry between the guy and the girl. (Forget their names.
) and the young girl! Now I can see your reason for being hard on the sequel, Vi. From what I've heard, it does sound like it stole everything that made this film, well, awesome! Still, with the way I enjoyed
Days, I'm really anxious to see how the sequel is in comparison. Shocking, huh?
So there, I finally saw them. Now get off my back, Vi! J/k
) is up to these days. (Wik)
That's a little bit why I posted it--it's kind of a good window into how "non-animation fans" often view animated films and what they attribute their success to.
