Well, now that I had seen the first one, and really enjoyed it, it was time to head down to the cinema to watch the sequel. Mind you, for most people that would have been 10 or so years, but for me, it was only a couple of days. It was funny though because it wasn't until I watched the original that the trailer for the sequel actually started making sense - before that, it just seemed like it was some silly, try-hard, comedy.
Silly try-hard comedy it certainly wasn't, if my loud guffaws were anything to go by. Okay, I won't necessarily say that I was laughing too hard, or too long, but this film certainly did get a few laughs out of me, which can be pretty difficult to do these days, so because of that, this film certainly gets a few marks. Oh, and the entertainment value, particularly if you liked the first one, is definitely there as well.
So, several years have passed since our intrepid heroes finished off the horde of zombies at Pacific Playland, and now they find themselves at the other side of the country, hunkering up in the Whitehouse. Well, civilisation has collapsed, so honestly, why not. I guess this is one of those things that I love about this film because I haven't seen all that many zombie films where they take the opportunity to live it up or sleep in places where, well, you certainly wouldn't be allowed to sleep before the apocalypse. I guess people just assume that the Whitehouse would have been destroyed (and for some reason, I just can't see Walking Dead going down that way).
Anyway, Little Rock has all grown up, and now she wants to get out and see the world, so she and Witchita do what they are good at doing, and just leave, and of course Columbus is absolutely devastated, that is until they meet another woman hunkering in the icebox in a shopping mall. Well, they certainly have brought a new bunch of people into the film now, which I also think is pretty cool. Actually, Little Rock meets a hippie, and they head off to a commune where they can live free of zombies.
The funny thing is that the Zombies have evolved, so we have the T-800, which are unkillable killing machines, we have the ninjas, which are silent but deadly, and we have a couple of others, which I'll leave for now, but needless to say, that was pretty amusing as well. Of course, they have turned killing zombies into a fine art form, so of course, it is no longer just a matter of killing zombies, it is killing zombies in the most imaginative way possible (and of course, how is it that they find out about the others, when all communication has been cut).
To finish off, this was actually a pretty entertaining film. In fact, it was a really entertaining film, particularly if you liked the first one. I guess the whole waiting ten years for it to come out certainly had an impact on that as well. So, yeah, I did really like this one.
