I finally saw 28 Weeks Later!
"Bad" doesn't even describe it. Maybe I wouldn't hate it so much if it didn't blatantly rip EVERYTHING (and I mean EVERYTHING) off of its astoundingly superior prequel, 28 Days Later. (They even used the same music.)
Not only is it mind-numbingly predictable....but:
(spoilers)
As we know, not all sequels are bad, and some can be very good. This movie was not!!!

You can’t just have your characters announce how they feel! That makes me feel angry!

Worst horror sequel ever? You haven't seen very many, have you?
Honestly though, I was expecting you to be somewhat dissapointed, but not that much. Even with what you just wrote, I don't like it. Do they use all of the original music, or did they use a combination of old and new? If its the former, that's just lazy.

I think it was pretty much just the old music, when they had music at all. There was also some stupid heavy metal/punk stuff on the soundtrack, which made it seem like an MTV video. (You can hear some of it in the trailers too.)Even with what you just wrote, I don't like it. Do they use all of the original music, or did they use a combination of old and new? If its the former, that's just lazy.
but then again I can't really remember that much of the first one.
You should see it again J! It doesn't even feel like a "Horror" film but some low-budget independent film (which it was) that has unbelievably horrifying things happening in it. (which it did.)

Hmm, so CH thought it was a great sequel, and Jeroen didn't think it was that bad. I wonder what I'll think of it.
Just as I thought, lazy. I don't mind when a sequel incorporates some music, but to use most of it, ugh.ShyViolet wrote:I think it was pretty much just the old music, when they had music at all.
