Ganny McVagflaps Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 The trailers for this look pretty good. I wasn't too much of a fan of the first one (I think Danny Boyle is very hit and miss) but I'm considering checking this one out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 From what I've seen this looks really good. And Crimson, The Starship Troopers human-bugs thing was in the book so they were cashing in on something in continuity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jont Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 The trailers for this look pretty good. I wasn't too much of a fan of the first one (I think Danny Boyle is very hit and miss) but I'm considering checking this one out. I'm not so sure about the plot, they repopulate England and then, whoops!, the same fucking thing happens again! Looks like it could be a decent genre flick, but I'd need to see some pretty glowing reviews before I lay money down. Though I'm sure all the Irishmen on the board can agree that the scene where they carpet bomb London looks like a dream come true. Did I say that out loud?

Ganny McVagflaps Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 tell me more about this scene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jont Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 tell me more about this scene It's speculation as I haven't yet seen the movie, but I think it involves Republican sympathisers in helicopters dropping incendiaries on Royalist zombies.

Ganny McVagflaps Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 I knew alls we needed was choppers. The Monk is going the wrong way investing in Ireland's first stretch hummer. He should start importing hellicopters. That's the way to go. And after the job is done and London has been taken care of we can use them to drop fire retardant on unwanted Halloween bonfires in Sallynoggin too. It's a win-win situation.

JunkerSeed Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 The new director made this movie called Intaco with Max von Sydow in it that I really liked. Of course, it's the only feature he's made and he made it like a billion years ago, but at least he has a track record. I'll also hold out for good reviews but consider watching it.

The NZA Posted May 13, 2007 Author Share Posted May 13, 2007 You really should, it was aweome. This had everything idve wanted from a turbo-zombie film. Great opening, great transition to the present time, and while the themes (military control, rebuilding etc) werent brand new, they were presented in a way that was really intersting...youre watching, and just waiting for things to fall apart, but however predictable, the ride was great getting there, and the ridley scott shakey cam fest actually makes sense during the action scenes here. i thought it was used well when they were hiding in the car before it got gassed. also, who else was thinking of "Descent" when they used the night vision in creepy-ass subway scene? I too was wary of the director change, but after being a bit let down by Spidey 3, this was really great. no complaints come to mind, even the movie's length - if you dug the first one, or just love zombie/horror shit, this one's really worth seeing. This one doesnt dissapoint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stilly Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 THEY USE A FUCKING HELICOPTER TO MOW THE FUCKING INFECTED DOWN!!!! I can say no more...that part was fucking awesome, and one of my favorite movie moments of ALL TIME. Seriously Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted May 13, 2007 Author Share Posted May 13, 2007 that was indeed brilliant, and just the kinda thing you'd want to happen at that time too. I had so much fun with this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stilly Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Usually I'm not one for the cliche "movie with a lot of explosions"...but when they decided to firebomb "sector one" or whatever it was called , I almost yelled "YEAH! BLOW THAT SHIT UP! KILL IT! SHOOT IT IN THE HEAD! HIS AXE IS ON FIRE" and other things completely unrelated to the movie...it was good times.

The NZA Posted May 13, 2007 Author Share Posted May 13, 2007 haha thats awesome, Sen honestly yelled "SHOOT HIM IN THE HEAD! PRESS A" or some shit like that during the film too, so you two were on the same page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senshik Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 oh and as for my review, the movie was pretty good... during the middle of it i got bored... but the ending scene kinda made up for that feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalHeart Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I really enjoyed this! Cj and I went with Stilly Friday night, and you know it's gonna be fun when you have him around. "FOREBODINGGGGG!" haha. I agree with Sen, it got a little slow at certain points, but they never lasted long and it was back to action and zomg blood fun.

soldier of fortune Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 I was a big fan of the first one, and am a fan of the second one too! Robert Carlyle, great pick to play the role! Action was frentic when it happened, they let you get your breath, then BAM something happens again! Only home after seeing it now, will post more thoughts tomorrow!

The NZA Posted May 20, 2007 Author Share Posted May 20, 2007 Shit, was that Carlyle, Bagbie from Trainspotting? I didnt even put it together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soldier of fortune Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 (edited) Yeah one and the same. One of the better british actors out there. Fucking pussy leaving his wife to die, but the boy sure can run! The action was heart pounding in this film, a feature which wasn't lost from the first one, might pull out 28 days later on DVD now and watch that... I must admit it was quite ironic that it was the kids father who was chasing them down for the whole film, but it added a creepy factor to it i suppose.

Senshik Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 I also really liked the music score... for both part one and two. Oh and the girl, she reminded me of Lottie... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
