POSITIVES…
If you’re already a fan of Zombieland or comedic zombie movies in general, then it won’t be such a terrible thing to see this.
The “rules” thing with the Columbus character continues to still be one of the best aspects of Zombieland.
I absolutely love the fact that this Zombieland world is stuck in 2009, even though it’s years past the first movie. The self-aware meta jokes that pokes fun of that fact are pretty entertaining. For one thing, look at the phones.
Comedy is subjective, but there were some good laughs to be had. I definitely enjoyed the recurring gags that runs throughout the movie.
The whole set pieces involving Luke Wilson and Thomas Middleditch were one of the best things in this movie.
Zoey Deutch however is the MVP of this film. She adds a really welcome energy to this. Most of the best laughs I had was because of her character.
Out of the remaining cast members, Woody Harrelson still brings it with his big personality. Tallahassee continues to be a fun character. The rest; Eissenberg, Stone, Breslin, were solid enough for their roles.
The bonus scene during the end credits. Fan service? Sure. However, it was still good fan service.
NEGATIVES…
Telling for the times, but this movie doesn’t really add anything new to the self-aware comedic zombie movie genre. Some will go so far and say that this is a pretty forgettable zombie film.
Cliches. Derivative plot tropes. Predictable. The story moves along as you expect things to go.
Disappointingly nonsensical at times.
Although a subjective opinion, the comedy is definitely hit or miss in this.
Plays things too safe for my taste?
As much as I love Metallica, the use of “Master Of Puppets” during the intro credits just didn’t really fit.
P.S….
