28 Weeks Later...What they say!

Instead of writing a review of this movie I'm just going to respond to what others have said. For instance, if Such and Such Big Shot Movie Reviewer Gal says "Awesome flick" then my response would be something like, "piss off you intestine smelling foul wretch."

Here we go.


This Comes from Ian Winter of Channel 4 Films:

"Well worth seeing, especially for fans of the original. But all its brilliance only serves to compound the disappointing and pedestrian final half hour."


"Well worth seeing if you haven't got any eyes! But then everything is worth seeing because it would be nice to be able to see. Duh...Not that there's anything wrong with not being able to see. It's a dis-uh-bility."


Kevin Williams of Jam! Movies Writes:

"Fresnadillo, who also co-
wrote the screenplay, understands that true horror lies in the moral choices men and women make in the direst of circumstances."

"Why don't you make a moral choice and
jam this movie up your flaccid ass?"


Brian Webster of the Apollo Guide Writes:

"While parallels with the Iraq situation are unmistakeable, it's more concerned with terrifyingly dismal atmosphere and a kinetic, intense race for survival."


"This has nothing to do with Vietnam Walter!"


Peter Vonder Haar of Film Threat Writes:

"The first half of
28 Weeks Later is highly enjoyable, assuming you find things like cowardice, official incompetence, and nihilistic visions of the future entertaining."

"Yeah Pete, I agree the movie sucks but WTF are you talking about?!"


Betty Jo Tucker of Reel Talk Movie Reviews says:

"Yikes! '28 Weeks Later' is a very, very scary movie."


"OMG you're a retarded."


Scott Tobias of the ever-shilling Onion AV Clubs Says:

"Under Fresnadillo's assured direction,
28 Weeks Later blurs the line between genre entertainment and a photojournalist's shots of the next urban catastrophe."

"And you wonder why Fresnadillo doesn't return your calls. Groupie. Why don't you go staple your face shut and stop breathing you dick drip?"


Peter Travers of Rolling Stone

"
Fresnadillo ups the gore quotient and shows a penchant for showoff editing and strobe lighting that Boyle avoided. It grabs you though, hard and often."

"You said hard and often. You're an idiot Travers. You didn't even watch this one did you? You got the dvd in the mail and you didn't even open it. You were too busy masturbating to old issues of
Spin while listening to yacht rock and rubbing mustard on your nipples."


Dennis Dermody of Paper

Looks like my critical hero passed on reviewing this one. Way to go Dennis.
