Sadly Over-hyped

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Seeing this film at a relatively high 7.2 score convinced me that this would be worthwhile. Directed by Frank Darabont? The writer / director of the Shawshank Redemption and Greenmile- sign me up. Starting off strong and intriguing, unfortunately there is little merit in what follows, the movie slowly descends into a murky dramatic mess- you may find yourself laughing at parts of this ''horror'' movie. Throwaway philosophical lines, fruitcake bible lady and her flock of sheep believers, characters trapped in a small enclosed space making idiotic decisions. Oh and don't forget the hilarious CGI monsters, even in 2007 I can only imagine they would have looked silly. Funny enough the movie parallels the The Walking Dead in many ways. This comes as no surprise as Darabont is also the writer for the latter. As much as The Walking Deads boorish drama dragged down many of the seasons- this isn't much different. Except we have less screentime and less reason to care about these characters. Miss out on this one, the high score is misleading and the ending a hilarious mess.

This horror movie about isolated people in a grocery facing unknown horrors outside is the opposite of what Stephen King usually does. Generally, King captures three dimensional characters, or at least attempts to give "credible characters in incredible situations" more than most Hollywood writers. But here we get the opposite. These characters don't even come close to being one dimensional. They're simply seen from a demon possessed point of view of one person. This one simply rationalizes how the others behave. They don't behave in any realistic way, though he tries to look calm. It's obvious that this character is a true human monster simply deciding how others act out of his own convenience for the Hell he wants the world to be. Trouble is that the makers of this movie don't make that clear enough for the feeble minds already totally brainwashed by Western culture's dark ages of Psychiatry, and that means this movie is part of the problem, not the solution.

From the start i thought this was good, but in the midpoint it started talking that jesus is our saviour and it went downhill from that point.

I am going to start off by saying two things. First, this is a horror movie. Second, I don't like horror movies. Since this is an adaptation of a book (by Stephen King), I can't fire on the story but only watch this if you can handle gruesome deaths and a seriously messed up ending. The ending was what ruined the movie for me, I'll try not to give any big spoilers but what happened was character A kills 4 people (one of whom is his family) to free them from the pain of living in a world infested with monsters, BUT ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THE WORLD IS RESTORED BACK TO NORMAL 5 MINS LATER! I mean, I haven't watched a movie that has a worse ending than this one. To sum up, only watch if you are a fan of horror movies or if you like the book. Others will feel really miserable.
