Not much hype around this one it seems
Was worried with the January release they were dumping a stinker but the reviews got me pumped again
slight SPOILER
read a review that there are hardly any infected in this one so I'm expecting it to be just as polarizing as the first

The prior movie left me with a very bad taste in my mouth so no desire to see this. There was a portion of the prior movie that was very good. With Finnes and the mother and setting the skull. The rest of the movie was a mess

yes I am seeing it tomorrow

I liked the last one so I'll be watching, but I'm skeptical about all this over the top praise. It seems like critics are being overly nice for the director Nia Dacosta. JMHO

Absolutely. Boyle and Garland are magic together.
Boyle isn't directing this one (Nia DaCosta is) but Boyle still wrote it and Garland will return to direct part 3 along with Murphy.
and for anyone who doesn't know i suggest looking up who Jimmy Savile is as that is who The Jimmy's are modeled after. Since the first movie takes place in 2002 and the stuff about Jimmy didn't come out until 2012 no on in the movie knows how bad of a guy he was.

Not excited, but I will check it out if I hear good things about it. The first one was decent. I hated the Adidas track suit ending though, and it gave me low hopes for this one. So I hope it's better than I was expecting after finishing the first one.

Savile was a despicable piece of shite and hope he is paying for it in the afterlife

I don't know. She had Hedda released in the fall. It was good and featured a notable Tessa Thompson performance, but was politely ignored by critics.
I would have assumed critics would be waiting to chow down on negativity with no Boyle behind the camera.

I'm excited. I liked its prequel. Wasn't amazing but it was still good.
Good. It is 28 years later. Either everyone should be infected or almost nobody should be.

Going at 2 today. Will report back

Just got out. I loved it. It’s twisted as frick and the reports are true about this one not involving the infected much. It felt like it was made to take a real shot at Jimmy Saville and they did it well by incorporating it into this world. Music is top notch as well. There’s an Iron Maiden scene that’s nuts 
. Can’t wait for 3
They go in kinda a unique direction in terms of seeing things through the zombies eyes. I won’t say anymore as to not spoil, but I think it will be expanded upon in the 3rd

28 Years Later was one of my favorites from last year. This was one was just as good, if not better. O’Connell played a great villain but Fiennes stole the show. It will be a longer wait for Part 3. It is nice knowing it is confirmed though.

Forgot to mention O’Connel. He’s definitely the man

I do not know how i feel about what i just watched.
SPOILERs
i know the franchise kinda turned away from "zombie/rage/survival" focused with years, but wtf.
I get that its been 28 years and there's probably some fricked up, weird people. But some small things just piss me off too.
First of the kid is still a little bitch, constantly getting saved by everyone.
Then the sampson shite was done in such a gay way, i am okay with the premise, but my god was it retarded.
I am okay with less infected, but the inconsistency is ridiculous, first time we meet the Jimmies they are power ranger level, then you see the girl jimmy handle one no problem. you see the lone survivor get ambushed instantly, sure sampson got him, then you see the group of 3 who have been around for YEARs, be nervous about making the lone infected scream, but then just stabs him in the chest allowing him to scream? 28 years of surviving behind a fence???
jimmies sleeping outside, setting barn on fire, and not once dealing with infected, spike goes to run and get jumped from infected out of nowhere, just 1, then gets saved.
sampson on the train fights dozens out of nowhere, we are left to assume that since his psychosis wore off the others can tell. also medicine dosage worked one and doesn't need more.
then the end is cringe with the history speech, and gets even worse when the badass girl jimmy and spike are getting chased. even though she had no problem holding off others before. but again theres people surviing in that one house for 28 years no problem. yes i know who he is, i dont like it.
how did the jimmies wonder around for 28 years and never see the smoke from the doctors, how did they run into so many new people for the first time in 28 years. but yet the doctor knew the church jimmy was talking about.
why didnt spike head home with the girl jimmy. i mean after everything he witnessed, why wasnt he like, hey i know a relatively safe and normal place, get me the frick out this fricked up mainland.
idk, just a lot of dumb shite. 28 days is still the undisputed, the first 1/3 of years was amazing, then everything since has just been too weird and inconsistent
and yes i know its a movie so it wont be perfect, but some of it is bad.
there's probably more i am forgetting. but wanted to rant and get these thoughts out before work.

The movie was a fun time. Excited for what they set up for the next one from the Alpha development and the return of another character that popped up at the end of the movie. The Black Sabboth scene was a ton of fun

Jeremy Jahns said it was good

Rotten tomatoes is an absolutely meaningless site now. They gave fricking She-Hulk a score of 80%. That was easily one of the worst shows I’ve ever seen. Absolutely awful in both acting and directing.
