Most movies are pretty bad. Always have been. I feel like I got scammed for paying to see 28 Years Later.

What did you expect from 28 Years Later, and what have you got?

I didn't expect anything after about half an hour into it. The first half hour or so was pretty good. The kid taking his sick mom into a zombie infested area was dumb. The blockade but not sending them supplies and stuff, dumb. Zombie pregnancy. Alpha male zombie roided out. The doctor character in general.
