I love both films dearly...but I'll be honest...the 2nd was better...

The first one was utterly fantastic until they involved the soldiers.  I don't care about procreation, I want to see 2 people wander London, aimlessly, fighting off zombies, and probably die because that is what would really happen ladies and gents.  They would die.

The 2nd one gave me what I wanted, plus it was ALOT scarier.  Even my girlfriend, who hated the 1st one, loved the second one.  Especially the first part, the introduction really made you hate the father, and I mean HATE him.

Also, at the end where....

[spoiler] The kid was breathing hard into the chopper window, he was fighting off infection, he got part of his mother's gene but not the entire thing, he was able to delay it but not prevent it like she did...that gave me tingles, I knew what was going to happen next...the ending was great as well [/spoiler]

I guess thats some kind of analogy, the movie wasnt suspensful, you know what was going to happen. Sorta like a womans period it happens once a month and is expected.

That is quite ridiculous. And on the "analogy" - it's not a very good one because plenty happened in that film that not many would have guessed. The characters are not typical horror antagonists and the plot takes a few twists.

I loved it almost as much as the first one. My reasons.

*spoilers ahead*

1.Not as suspenseful as the first.

2.A bit too much action and not as much psychological goodness as the first.

3.Didn't quite tell us what happend to the 3 survivors from the first movie.

4.Left wiith a huge cliff hanger

*spoilers end*

Both are good, but in my opinion, second is better. Especially I liked these zombies' hitchy movements :D Remember the dead priest in the beginning of 28 weeks later? (y)

Days had better characters, cinematography and tension. Weeks had better action and scope. I think Days is the better overall movie.

Brits will prefer the first, Americans will prefer the second. That's what I've experienced so far anyway.

Makes sense, 28 Weeks Later sure does seem to be aimed at Americans more than the first movie.

I definitely enjoyed 28 Weeks Later if only for the action entertainment value and Jeremy Renner playing a badass Delta Force operator. Other than that I thought 28 Days Later had better character development and was a better movie overall.

I didn't like the 2nd one as much as the first. The characters in the second one weren't great. Not to mention that some of the scenes in the 2nd one weren't really believable (the dad was in the dark subway?, what are the chances...) Too bad they aren't aren't doing a third. The movie rights to it are floating around.

I thought the first one was better. The second one probably had better action scenes, but the first one had the better atmosphere and plot for me.

There's no need to bump a four year old thread.
