When i first heard about this film i was very excited about it... but when i saw it in the theater, i was unimpressed... i expected something different.
i saw it on DVD a few months ago and i was able to understand it a bit more. If i remember correctly... NOTLD, Dawn/Day of the Dead gave very little, if any explanation as to why people were coming back to life and killing people... it just happened. It made for a bit of confusion and mystery in the films which i think added to their appeal.
28 Days Later does the same thing... to a point. The special features on the DVD have a segment on the reality of deadly viruses and how it is splattered into our faces with this movie.
Anyhow, i just finished watching it again and i can safely say that i do like the movie. it has that apocolyptic feel - the scenes of a deserted London are quite chilling, considering what a bustling city it normally is, there's little decay but you can see the signs of devastation all over.
Aside from that i like how Danny Boyle manages to throw some full-frontal male nudity into his films :D LOL

But why would I want to do a thing like that?
