Dead Rising: Endgame

seems like people expect to much from this movie sometimes forgetting that it is a B-grade movie

a lot of the review i've seen are complaining about the zombie action takes to long to begin but the thing they forget is that this movie is so much more than just are quick zombie flick...

this movie actually delivers well acting: (8/10) especially lead role he is a good actor and i never knew him before these movies

directing: (7/10) good story

action (6/10) i would say watchtower was a 4 on action they actually also upgraded that here so a lot of thing to be happy about.. so if you don't expect to much and just want to kill the time with a movie that is free on crackle than this will do just more than fine..

Having watched "Dead Rising: Endgame", I can honestly say that it was every bit as good and bad as the 2015 "Dead Rising" movie. With that being said, I am prone to say that if you didn't enjoy the first movie, then you will not like this 2016 movie either, and vice versa.

A continuation of the story and events that took place in the 2015 "Dead Rising" movie, "Dead Rising: Endgame" puts us back into the quarantine zone, following the brash reporter Chase Carter (played by Jesse Metcalfe) yet again.

As much as I enjoy zombie movies, then "Dead Rising: Endgame", like its predecessor, just never really rose up beyond mediocrity for me. Sure, they are enjoyable movies for what they are, but they are just not outstanding in the zombie genre.

The effects were good, and there is a good amount of action and a good amount of zombies throughout the movie. That is at least something. And the acting was adequate as well.

However, I guess it is the storyline that is just too generic or perhaps because it is something that has been seen before in other zombie movies, that just makes it so bland and generic.

Being a zombie aficionado, of course I had to watch it. And I have done so now, but color me unimpressed. It was a mediocre experience, as I mentioned earlier, and this is not a movie that I can see myself making a second trip back to watching. It just didn't have enough contents to support more than a single viewing. There are far better zombie movies available out there.

But I am sure that hardcore fans of the Dead Rising games will find great enjoyment in these movies.

This movie was as good as the first part WatchTower. Instead of being 2 hours like the first one this movie is just an hour and a half. They cut off a lot of the fluff boring part from the first one. The zombie kills in this one I believe is way better than the first movie. However, there's not enough zombies in the film but more soldiers and people than anything else. This movie takes itself a little bit more serious than the first one too. They did leave this movie ending opened for another sequel if they wanted to. I'm surprised they haven't already but it's been 4 years already since this movie came out.

If you enjoyed the first one, I think you will enjoy this one as well. It's about the same quality etc. I didn't personally jump or get scared, but few movies do that to me anyhow.

Why do they keep making movies like this one? How do you exactly make money with this? Is it a long ad for Dead Rising 4? Probably. Is it a good one? No.

There are few returning characters and actors, story is whatever, acting is whatever and so on. While the direction is a bit better than the first movie, this one felt way cheaper and slapped on. For example, right off the bat, while Chase is sneaking around and Jil and Sandra are in the van that's supposed to be inside the restricted zone, you can actually see regular car traffic through van windows. Locations are nondescript and cheap. Zombies are just as scarce as in the first movie. Weapons are dumb and not impressive.

It's just not fun, not scary and except two or three very bland easter eggs, this movie really has no place in Dead Rising video game franchise.

Oh, and yes, that is actually Billy Zane if you were wondering.

Plot is even more of a black hole than before and this whole thing is on the same level as the first one, only slightly worse in general sense. You wont miss anything by not watching it except that hour and change you've just wasted on this movie.
