WHO ELSE LIKES THIS MORE THAN 28 DAYS??
I DON'T GET WHY SO MANY HATE THIS ONE AND SAY DAYS IS BETTER!!! THIS ONE IS A LIL BETTER TO ME
shareI DON'T GET WHY SO MANY HATE THIS ONE AND SAY DAYS IS BETTER!!! THIS ONE IS A LIL BETTER TO ME
shareI am a fan of Days and Weeks so here I go:
Days-Pros
Hope Factor
Cillian Murphy, Naomi Harris and Brendan Gleeson
Great Ending
Great Dialogue
Original (for a zombie movie)
Great Characters
Days-Cons
Megan Burns, Megan Burns and Megan Burns.
The Army part at the end was good, but a bit too sudden.
Weeks-Pros
Good Acting for everyone-NO MEGAN BURNS, YAY!
A tad bit better plot
Weeks-Cons
Less Original
Not as great characters
Doesn't have the hope factor
For me, I prefer Days, but Weeks is way up there as well.
Well the whole movie was based on two idiots. I hope those kids understand they got thousands of people killed/infected (including their father) because of their absent-minded decision.
And also why did it take the army so long to stop the kids? Doyle saw the kids as they were going over the fence. They could have easily stopped them before they even got as far as they did.
All of that just irritated me the whole time.
So just from that, I love 28 Days Later more than "Weeks". But I do give them the child actors in Weeks were light-years better than the girl who played Hannah in Days. But as a whole "Days" is just awesome all around (even with the cringe-worthy scenes of Hannah). In my opinion.
I mean you can't go wrong with Cillian Murphy and Christopher Eccoleston. As much as I LOVE Jeremy Renner, he wasn't in enough of it to save it.

“Cause it’s all so *beep* hysterical.”
28 Days Later was a moden day classic. This film was decent but in no way better than the first.

I like 28 weeks way better. The first film, though it is enjoyable, is a little too surreal for my taste. I think the second film has a gritty realism and provocative human element that leaves you talking. The only thing I would have changed in the second film would be to have more UK soldiers and other nationals in the "nato-led" force. I would kept the same actors just have them do their real accents instead of american ones...im looking at you Idris Elba.
28 weeks is one of my favorite zombie movies next to Snyder's Dawn of the Dead.
Well, you're wrong.
sharei liked 28 weeks better.. that girls terrible acting ruined 28 days for me and it got a bit weird at the end and a bit corny. it was still a good movie i just liked weeks better..
shareI liked Weeks better.
Marion Cotillard,Keira Knightley and Alizee are the most beautiful women on Earth.
There was so so much wrong with Weeks its amazing. Script was not even half baked. Terrible. That said... the action scenes were still amazing, and the opening sequence was mind-blowing. Shame everything else sucked.

Danny Boyle didn't think so....and he has an Oscar. What movie did you write?

Danny Boyle was producer or executive producer... so he'd want to protect his investment by speaking well of it. However, I doubt he'd ever write and direct anything so half thought through as this himself.

Can't argue with that...However, The writing on this film was on par for it's genre and just as good as 28 days so I can't quite understand the hostility towards it. Are you just a sequel hater? Some people are.

I've watched Days twice and still don't care for it as much as Weeks.
shareDays is a good movie with a deeper payoff but Weeks is my favorite, it is just more watchable and involving, has a faster pace and uncompromisingly dark twists, which a good horror movie should have. The cinematography is crisp. The only thing I didn't like was how it ended. It just sort of has nowhere left to go and tapers off. But it's a fun ride, plus no lame mansion.
shareThe user need not have written a movie. All he need do is critique
the movie honestly and accurately. Never post that type of
non-argument again.
Character is revealed by how you treat people with no power.
...or else what?
Please let me know if I spelled something wrong. I actually DO give a s**t.

I thought WEEKS was better than DAYS - first time I saw it . I do think the sequel is let down by the fact that the plot runs out after the reinfection happens . At least with DAYS the plot still develops in the final third even though it lacks internal logic
shareBecause after the father flees the house, this movie gets TERRIBLY predictable. I was during the whole movie like:
+ Oh, kids. Now we know who will screw it all.
- "remember that nobody is allowed to cross the river".
+ Oh they will dumbly cross the river and somehow get everybody else infected, while surviving themselves because, ya' know, they are kids.
- "but we want to see momy!"
+ Geez now that idiot will go there and get himself bitten, release her or something.
- "I love you"
+ Here it comes.
And so, and so on.
Lol. Yeah, it's just hopeless.
