28 Days Later Much Better.

I was honestly expecting much much more out of this film, and thought there was no way it could be bad, due to it being a sequel to one of the best horror movies ever made, "28 Days Later", which was a very successful motion picture back in 2002. "28 Weeks Later" lacked the qualities that made the original so great. Here are a few aspects missing: Story, Acting, Character Development. Those are a few main things keeping this from topping the original. I did leave out another thing however. Usually movies carry over to their sequels, for example the "Ocean's Films". The same characters were in all three, and the story continued as well. "28 Weeks Later" had absolutely nothing similar from the first. The characters were different, and the story was brand new and started out fresh. That bugged me because I was hooked on "Days", and they just basically screwed it up for me.

I will admit, this film was not all bad. The pros of it are the intense action scenes. There were several sniper shots that looked rather cool, and there were plenty others to entertain me. Another positive aspect was the way the zombies looked. They did a good job there.

Although this film may be filled with non-stop action and suspense, It just wasn't developed enough to make a good sequel.

28 Weeks Later

Now that was just stupid. Compared to the first one, which I loved, there just seems to be no real point to it. To me it just seemed like this movie was just an excuse to have people kill each other and blood, lots of blood. Basically it was as if they were using the story from the first movie as a pretext to create bloody chaos, in my opinion. And yet I liked it for reasons that elude me.
For most part the stupidity was with the characters. First off what the children did was stupid, then what the father did was stupid and the military well guess what? They were stupid in the first place! I couldn't help thinking through the whole thing how stupid these people were.
There was honestly no rhyme or reason to it and I don't see it ending with this one.

Bad

I'm not much of a fan of the genre, so my expectations for the movie were rather low. Considering this, I can at least say I was not disappointed.

The movie was a big pile of clichés. Fortunately for me, I was in a rather good mood and didn't have an increase of OCD symptoms, because the movie isn't friendly to me on that aspect.

The characters' behavior was generally stupid and unjustified, like in pretty much every movie of the kind.
