28 Years Later

It has been a hot minute since Cillian Murphy was in the first film. The sequel was really good, too. :cool:

Now he is returning in two sequels, being shot concurrently on an iPhone.

Anyway, I thought the original 2002 movie was like TWD, how he is in a coma, awakens in London, then finds out a pathogen has wiped out most of humanity. And it has a premise a lot like any George Romero movie about a biohazard I know about. And these post apocalypse movies I feel are always dramatic, and totally keep me interested in the storyline.

TWD changed, however. I felt that it dragged on once Negan arrived, and too many minor characters came in over the following seasons, making it equally confusing and boring. :shifty:

I liked these movies, the second one less so but the opening sequence was incredible, pretty horrific s***.

TWD became a hot mess in so many ways that I'd have to write an essay to even scratch the surface, but the first season was perfect aside from its short length. Second season was a notable step down yet still good, but each season got consistently worse until is was an unwatchable mess.

Same thing happened with TWD games, it just got worse and worse. First game is a masterpiece and the second one is a flawed masterpiece. Third one was okay, and I only finished the finale of like a sense of obligation.

28DL...that was Danny Boyle, right? Boy, that guy's had a diverse career. Lot of directors, you can kind of go, 'yeah, I might have guessed that was a Guy Ritchie flick', or, like, 'man, i was sure that was going to be a Wes Anderson picture, based on the trailer', but Boyle's a bit harder to pin down.

Yeah, Boyle’s got such a wide range. 28DL was intense, but then he goes and makes *Slumdog Millionaire*. Dude can do it all.
