A really good movie

I already saw this movie but since it was a while back, I was quite eager to check it out again. In fact, I remember perfectly when I watched this movie the first time around. Indeed, back then, I was just living in the Netherlands and I wanted to see something in the movie theater. Eventually, I noticed that there was a new movie directed by Danny Boyle so I went to watch it without a shred of information about it. Well, once again, the guy really impressed me back then. Indeed, even though I'm not really a huge fan of the genre, it is easily one of my favorite zombie movies, even if it might not be really original after all. Basically, the directing was really solid, the acting was fine as well with a breakthrough performance by Cillian Murphy and the whole thing was pretty damned entertaining. Apparently, the die-hard fans of this genre didn’t think it really brought anything really new to the genre but it didn't bother me and I really enjoyed it. When I rewatched the damned thing, I have to admit it that it didn’t completely blow me away this time around but I think it had more to do with the fact that, after this movie was released, there was such a huge wave of zombie movies and TV-shows and not with the actual quality of Boyle’s directorial effort. 5 years later, they would eventually release a sequel and, surprisingly, it was actually quite solid, even though it never reached the level of Danny Boyle's first instalment. It would be really neat if they would come up a 3^rd instalment called ’28 Months Later…’ but, after all these years, I’m afraid it will never happen. Anyway, to conclude, I really enjoyed this flick and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
