I never thought that ‘Zombieland’ was such a great movie but since this sequel was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, I have to admit that this 2nd sequel was actually quite fun. Indeed, the 4 original characters (Tallahassee, Columbus, Wichita, Little Rock) all came back with the same cast and they had a really nice chemistry together. Still, I have to admit that I didn’t recall that Columbus and Wichita did hook up in the previous instalment but, to be honest, I thought it was pretty obvious that these 2 characters didn’t belong with each other. However, a bigger issue was with the new supporting characters though. Sure, it was a great idea to add some new faces, maybe even expand their group at some point, but, unfortunately, I didn’t care for any of them. The only one who might have had some potential was Rosario Dawson’s character but she was barely developed at all and was added in the mix just to make sure that Tallahassee would finally get some bedroom partner. However, ALL the other added characters were barely entertaining and, sometimes, even seriously annoying. Of course, I understand that it was the whole point for Madison, the character played by Zoey Deutch. Indeed, she was supposed to be cringe-inducing to behold but the end-result was hardly entertaining. First of all, there is absolutely no way that such a clueless brat could have survived for so long during a zombie apocalypse but, above all, I think it would have been so much more interesting if this girl would have been pretty badass and an actual threat for Wichita. And yet, thanks to the original cast, the damned thing was still fairly entertaining with some seriously witty oneliners. Anyway, to conclude, even if the whole thing felt like another pointless and rather misguided sequel, I think it is still worth a look though, especially if you enjoyed the previous instalment.
