And I dunno why so many people think other wise. Days starts off super slow and even feels and looks like a budget movie. The second half of the movie isn't even about the infected anymore, it was about some crazy military people instead.

Weeks is fucking intense from the beginning to the very fucking end.

I liked the first half of Days better to be honest.

I don't remember a lot about Days, but I felt like Weeks was too dependent on the characters making very stupid decisions, and that really took me out of it. I would still love to see 28 Months later if it was ever made, though.

Weeks is vastly inferior to Days, are you serious? It's not even the same director. The best part of Weeks is the opening sequence and that's only because it was actually directed by Boyle.

28 Weeks Later's opening was great, and it was a decent movie, but 28 Days Later is pretty much a modern day zombie classic.

I'm serious. Days didn't even feel like a horror movie the second half.

Human conflict is pretty normal in these types of movies. Even George A. Romero's movies had human conflict.

in zombie fiction, it usually always ends up as "people are the real monsters"

I'm okay with that as long as they respect the zombies as monsters as well. Weeks did that. Days didn't.

Yeah but he didn't make it a soap opera. He didn't make zombies a plot device for humans.

the dude in Days used the zombies as a weapon against the military guys, though.

the movie totally respected their lethality

Yep. I saw 28 Days Later in theaters twice (second movie I ever did that with.) I was pumped for Weeks. You're right, the intro was awesome.

Naw I ain't seen that one. But George prides himself in not making his zombie movies into a soap opera. He heavily disses TWD about their show all the time for it.

You cannot speak about what Romero prides himself on if you haven't see his masterpiece. That's like saying that Kubrick prides himself on hot having social commentary in his movies, but you haven't seen Dr. Strangelove.

Also, 28 Days was vastly superior due to having Cillian Murphy, and not staring two stupid fucking kids.

https://www.yahoo.com/tv/blogs/tv-news/george-romero-disses--the-walking-dead---calls-it-a--soap-opera--235315460.html

Oh no you didn’t, George Romero! The legendary horror filmmaker of “Night of the Living Dead” told a British magazine he said no to an offer to direct episodes of the AMC mega-hit “The Walking Dead” because the drama is “just a soap opera with a zombie occasionally.”

“They asked me to do a couple of episodes of ‘The Walking Dead,’ but I didn’t want to be a part of it,” Romero said in the Halloween edition of The Big Issue. “Basically it’s just a soap opera with a zombie occasionally. I always used the zombie as a character for satire or a political criticism, and I find that missing in what’s happening now.”

While Murphy was great, Jeremy Renner and Rose Byrne were awesome in Weeks.

Legit sad when Renner was burned alive and left behind from the car

Absolutely, but I'm biased due to Murphy being my man crush. I'm pretty sure Sunshine would be a terrible movie if I didn't get to stare at those icy blues the whole time.

Then Romero must have Alzheimers, because Day(and a lot of Dawn) was almost completely interpersonal, soap opera drama. What he says thirty years later is meaningless, seeing as those movies exist.

Weeks isn't perfect. Like previously stated, the movie depended on people doing stupid things but other than that it was fucking chasing and intense and super adrenaline rushes through the whole movie. Don getting infected and trapping and fucking shit up was terrorizing.

I went back and looked for you TC. Found my ratings.

Days 4/5
Weeks 3/5

I love all things Horror, but this series probably came down to directing.
The decline in script also has to do with Months not following closer. (if ever at all)
