Thumbs up 28 Days Later

Anybody seen this or wanna see it? I saw it last night... K I'm pretty sure there are no spoilers in the stuff below...

This dood wakes up in a deserted hospital and wanders around London's deserted streets wondering where the fudge everybody is... And then stuff happens...

Yeah it's a "Zombie" movie... But they're not really zombies... I don't think they actually eat their victims... The disease is spread by getting infected blood into you (mouth, eyes, whatever) or by being bitten... The people aren't really undead, and instead of dragging themselves around slowly and moaning they go CRAZY and they'll twich and flail around and scream and run at you (In the beginning of the movie they call it being infected with RAAAAGE)... And they can be killed like any normal human could be (no shot through the brain stuff)...

And it was shot on Digital Video which gave it kind of a gritty look... And it also allowed them to quickly get shots of the deserted streets of London (setting up quickly and only having to stop traffic for a minute or two at a time)...

Really there isn't a whole lot of horror in the movie... Most of it is just more like a survival kind of movie... and most of the movie is very quiet and such... And because of that some might find it boring, but I thought it was a very good movie (which is kinda surprising for a horror movie)... First half of the movie was good, and the second half was even better (IMO)... yep...

I saw the trailer and heard the storyline and I was not impressed ...but since you seem to think so highly of it, I think I'll give it a watch.

BTW ANYONE WATCHED THE HULK?? I want to if it was good your opinions since the reviews were kinda good.

Actually the reviews for the hulk were pretty bad... I saw it though... It was kinda eehhhh... Boring overall... Prolly the worst comic book movie I've seen (out of like... All of them)... But I dunno, my friend and his dad liked it, so wuteva...

Oops, I meant recent ones.. Not longer running ones like Batman, but I mean like Xmen 1, 2, Daredevil, and Spiderman... I actually havn't seen more than 5 minutes of a Batman movie... *cough*...

The Hulk was utter ****. Don't ever see this movie. Dated CGI, crappy acting, and they tried to make the movie as a comic, which failed miserably. I only recommend this movie to people I hate...
