It might have some good stuff, maybe it's not all bad.
I'm just such a HUGE fan of the first one, Cillian Murphy and Danny Boyle, (neither of whom are in it) that maybe my expectations are bit too high....but I'll try to give it a chance.
You can’t just have your characters announce how they feel! That makes me feel angry!
I have a bad feeling about the kid....well, about the whole movie. The "kid in peril" thing is SOOOO tired....I have a feeling they're going to be doing a lot of that.
They did it so well with the girl Hannah in the first one....VERY chilling and upsetting. There's no way this film is going to go into THAT territory.
Here's the trailer from #1: about a googal times better.
EDIT: Oops, forgot there's full frontal nudity there!! Sorry.
Well, anyway, it basicially looks like this will be what 2010 was to 2001.
Darn them!

I gotta admit that does look SLIGHTLY better, but not much. I'll probably see it anyway though...just cause I loved the first one so much.
My biggest problem with what we've seen so far is not only the indicators of a probable cookie-cutter plot (kids in peril, dad, older brother figure, it's "six months later" and everything's been fixed since the last film oh wait no it hasn't....) but that the plot appears to violate one of the most important rules of the first film: (spoilers if you haven't seen it)
Once you're infected, THAT'S IT, you're infected, and everyone knows it right away. Ten to twenty seconds later and you're a raveging, bloodthirsty monster. From what I could see from the trailer, it's much more ambiguous now about whether or not someone is infected, maybe they are, maybe they aren't, takes time for the disease to take affect, etc....which is exactly the opposite of the first film's premise....that's what made it so great.
That way the original screenplay couldn't get away with any annoyingly obvious suspense cues, subplots about someone hiding their disease, etc...once someone got bitten or cut, that was pretty much it for them. (Unless there was a cure, and as we could see from the alternate ending they abandoned in the storyboard stage, it was just too complex to get into cure teritory at that point.)
Also, in the new film there are apparently lots of scenes in hospitals, streets, with lots of crowds etc....doesn't seem half as scary or realistic as the death-riddled London or the army camp in part 1. Just very familiar, been-there done-that kind of feeling.
But whatever....just from seeing the trailer and how the original cast is all gone (good for them) I'm not expecting much except maybe a few scares...if that.
I hope to be proven wrong though.....

Sound familiar? 
) but as Ben would say, this looks pants!!
