Zombieland 2: Doppelt hält besser

I just got out of Zombieland: Double Tap

I wasn't the biggest fan of the first movie, i thought it was fun, but I never felt the need to rewatch it and i promptly forgot about it until the sequel was announced.

This is laugh out loud funny at times, I know zombie apocalypse movies are not where you expect to find laughs, but this has a lot of them. There was a lot of laughter in my screening.

Woody Harrelson is as awesome as he always is, and is on top form, its always nice to see Emma Stone playing a fun role, her parts down so serious lately!! Yes, i know she is an Oscar winner and she should be playing the best parts she can get, its just nice to see her having fun in a role again, as she is a good comedic actress, I love some of her facial expressions.

Now, when I hear the name Abigail Breslin, its always the little girl from My Sisters Keeper and Little Miss Subshine who pops into my head, I always forget the has grown up!! Even though I though i though she was great in Maggie with Arnie. She is fun here too, although her character is more of a plot device than anything else. A bit of a waste of her talents.

But it was Zoey Deutch who steals the movie for me. She was such an unexpected, delightful surprise. Playing the dumb blonde is a hard act to do well without being annoying!! Generally outside of one or two performances I hate the cliche of a dumb blonde character, but she nails it. I wouldn't be surprised if this is her breakout role.

I truly don't understand all of the sour reviews for this movie.

Is it better than the original? No. But how many sequels are?

Is it enjoyable and entertaining? Hell yes!

This movie isn't trying to take itself seriously (how can it - it's Zombieland?) You can tell the cast was having fun, and the producers had a good time making it. It's not trying to be Citizen Kane or win any Oscars, it's just a fun follow-up to a great comedy horror.

I would compare this to Lethal Weapon 2 vs. the original Lethal Weapon - some of the jokes are repeated, it's flawed compared to the first, but it stands solidly on it's own, with the characters continuing their wacky and dangerous adventures together.

There's a lot to like in this film, and I enjoyed getting to see more survivors of the zombie apocalypse and how they handle staying alive.

If you enjoyed the first film, you will like the second - I thought it was a solid effort, I was entertained throughout, laughing and smiling the entire movie.

The anti-zombie bunch is back and having fun. But soon things start to change as the protagonists' motives get complicated. Also, zombies are smarter now... Seems that the sequel is better than the first movie, but probably you gotta see the first one to compare and also get the jokes. I appreciated the cameos as they helped with the movie pace. And ofcourse there is a good set of actors in the film to help deliver funny one-liners that keep you entertained throughout. 7/10 stupidly fun film.

Zombieland 2 joins the esteemed ranks of sequels that don't utterly disappoint, coming in with an "almost as good as the original" finish. The cast members still mesh well together 10 years later. Zoey Deutch is a notable new addition whose character is absolutely unbearable at first due to sheer outlandishness, but she eventually grew on me. Zombieland has a bit of comedy, a bit of heart-warming, and a healthy amount of zombie killing. Something for everyone here.

Not as fresh and funny as the first one but still funny enough. Good cast (you can see and feel that they got a lot of fun making the movie), good production, here and there a nice gore effect - in short: Double Tap is a solid sequel with some fine moments and good if you are into zombie comedy
