I like zombie movies just fine, it's just that a vast majority of them suck. And stuff like Resident Evil and 28whatever, certainly doesn't help.

Fine i will grant u that alot of zombie movies do suck, mostly due to the fact that it is soooooo easy to see zombies as a cheap shortcut in monster making-but the 28 series is not that bad, it is certainly a million times better than the res series!

I just picked up 28 days later:aftermath which is the comic and it is written by freaking Steve Niles!!! There is no way he would put his name to an inferior product. I am standing firm in my support of the 28's
"Dammit-You mean he's not dead???" Thats right! Im back and Im leading my Army of Misfits up from the ashes!!!!!!!

I guess my problem with 28 days is that it doesn't seem to come off as a zombie movie. The infected just seem crazed and hard to kill. They doesn't really come off as being undead, you know what I mean. I don't know, it just wasn't my cup of tea, though I know a lot of people who love it, so I'm the minority on that one.
Zombie movies I do like are Night of the Living Dead (original a remake), Dawn of the Dead (new version), Shaun of the Dead, and Evil Dead just because Bruce Campbell is the man.
I also loved the Living Dead comic series.

Well, 28 Days isn't a traditional Zombie flick. Instead of it being a virus that reanimates the dead. It's a virus that causes people to become enraged, making them essentially mindless, violent, and hungry. All the makings of a zombie.

Thats why they're still technically zombies, even though they aren't the undead.

Thats why I like 28 Days later. It brought a unique and more realistic take on the traditional zombie flick. Then 28 Weeks Later **** it all up by getting a new director, new writer, shaky cam, plot holes.

When I think about the film more, I'm noticing even more plot holes. Like, for instance, in a military facility, around their most important patient(the mother) there are no guards, nor security cameras. I don't care how stupid the military is, they would have friggin' security cameras and guards to watch over the person that "could cure the rage virus." It reminds me of what John Kerry said, if you get good grades go to college and all that, if you don't, you don't go to Iraq, you get stuck in a horror film as "Soldier #1."

What's sad is that the chick that plays the ultra-hot Jill isn't in the 3rd one. :-(
