7. I liked it quite a bit. Nice zombie film with some wider conspiracy elements in it than the first movie. Not quite as good as the first, but certainly good. I'll go back to see it tomorrow, in fact.

Though I enjoyed laughing at it's badness, it was even worse than I had anticipated...
However, I do look forward to the time when becoming mutated by zombie juice gives me the ability to use the Force.

Wow! A much higher opinion than mine! I (generously) gave the flick a 3. Some good action, but it was cursed by the only virus *actually* affecting american cinema - the jittery camera. I said I saw some good action, but honestly - it's mostly just a guess. I actually saw almost none of it.
Pleather-bound corporate stormtrooper ripoffs and a giant chain-gun wielding monster (don't scream spoiler about that - it's in the frickin' preview) do not a quality film make.
In all, a very formulaic flick. It wasn't so bad that I'd demand my time back from the universe, but I *do* wish I had waited to rent the thing.
It's a Paul WS Anderson baby, if that tells you anything. Viewer beware!

I'm going to give it a 6. It was allright. I liked the first movie better, but this one had its moments.
This movie would get a 7 or maybe a 7.5 if it weren't for the SHAKY CAM . A little use of shaky cam I can ignore, but freakin A. Darn near every single action scene in the movie was shaky cammed. Particularly any scene with zombies. (not many scenes like that in this{sarcasm})
I would like to take the person responsible for shaky cam and shake the bejesus out of them. See how well they like shaky things then. Who sat down and said, "Man that action scene was awesome! You know what would make it better? If it was all shook up, so I couldn't see what was happening. Yeah then I would get the impression of an awesome action scene!"
Also this movie has exceptionally loud moments in it. The theatre we went to was cranked way loud, so the movie would continuously go from silence to earsplitting loud. Me and my girlfriend both got headaches from it
.
My recommendation is rental only. It would have been ok as a rental, but I feel cheated having gone to the theatre to see it. :\

I gave it a 6. Suprisingly lacking in zombies, I thought...but it was pretty much what I had expected. Fun cliches galore...
And was it just me, or did they seem to say, "Just do it!" a lot...
As in:
Boss type guy: "Lock the doors!"
Subordinate: "But sir, don't you think..."
Boss type guy: "Just do it!"
I think I'm going to start making strange demands, and when anyone questions me I'll shout, "Just do it!"
It seemed to work for everyone in the movie...
Fun movie though...one review I read put it perfectly. They called it a "cinematic Twinkie." You know...it's not good or even good for you, but it fills ya for a bit until something better comes along.

I gave it a 7. Not the best movie I've seen but it definately entertained me. In the end, that's all I expected.
And the shaky cam has never bothered me.
