Day of the Dead 2: Contagium

All I can say is... Wow too! I can not believe this movie somehow had rights to using the name Day of the Dead and was allowed to try to pass itself off as a sequel to the Romero masterpiece!

The first five minutes of the movie seemed promising enough, then we were treated approx. an hour of B quality acting with horrible characters, no zombies, no seemingly relevant storyline and no sort of action whatsoever. They try to make up for lost hour of our life by cramming some "gore" into the last twenty minutes of the film but it's far too little too late.

Terrible acting, characters, storyline, plot, direction, lack of zombies and some seriously low budget gore make me wonder how this particular film got itself in any way attached to the franchise Romero made legendary.

D-

On the whole,I've seen worse horror films, but if you're going to be naming yourself Day of the Dead 2, you should at least attempt to live up to at least one standard Romero set.








The Santa Clause 2

Meh. Not horrible. Not great. Not as good as the first one, but still a pretty decent sequel.

Now I disagree with that. It doesn' even come CLOSE to the first one for me. But to each his own.

The_Return 12-18-2005 01:21 PM

Personally, I think Jaws is one of the most overrated films of all time. Havent bothered to see the sequels, but the first was boring as hell until the last like 10-15 min. The shark didnt look realistic at all, and the plot was pretty contrived. In my opinion, that is, but to each their own...

How was the plot contrived, at what stages?

Amityville 3(D): The Demon

A promising first half, but some poorly rendered special effects and not a patch on the first two (or indeed some of the sequels).

It wouldnt have seemed as conrived if it hadnt tried to be believable. The fact that the shark always showed up at the perfect time and place was my major grievance with the plot. I mean, in a slasher movie or something, you can get away with that, but in a film that goes to the limits trying to be realistic? No thanks.

Keep in mind that I never said it was a BAD film. It did have it's moments [Frreding frenzy at the beach, Ending], however I found it boring for the most part and the failed attempts at reallism were bothersome.

I'm sure just a lot of the slashers you're referring to have tried to be as realistic as Jaws.

No, and I'm not trying to get in a debate with you because a) I like you and b) everyone's entitled to an opinion.

All I'm saying is maybe you should try it again in a lighter mood and you might enjoy it.

Zombie 3
just bought the zombie pack, including zombie 3,4, and 5.

3 was pretty bad, but it wasnt as bad as poeple say it is. there was a lot of decent looking fight scenes, but it sure as hell could have done with some more gore.

Collateral

I've had this one since last Christmas and popped it in while I was in bed sick and I have to say I was surprised. I wasn't expecting much and what I got was a damn good movie. Check it out, even if you don't like the actors.
