The writers never watched the first movie!

Warning: Spoilers
Yes it's pretty clear when people make sequels today they never bother to actually watch the original movies. In this case ROTLD 4 is again one of these movies.

The movie begins by giving us a glimpse at Hybra-Tech through a commercial. The commercial tells us how this powerful chemical company is responsible for all the delights of the modern world from food products to zombie cleanup.

( First this is nothing more than stealing portions of the plot of Resident Evil. The Umbrella corporation anyone? Get some new material. You should also know that at the end of both ROTLD 1, 2, and 3. There was no indication of an outbreak the Government wasn't able to control.)

So we continue, enter Peter Coyote who is interested in buying the last canisters containing trioxin 5. (Sorry again its called 2-4-5-trioxin.)

For what reason? Who knows yet. But apparently the last canisters are contained in Chernobyl. So some Russian mobsters take him to the canisters and so it begins. One of the mobsters while moving the canister, gets some green crap on his hand and becomes a zombie.

(Sorry again, just getting trioxin on you will not infect you. Kids from ROTLD1 were all in the rain and only the one who died in it became a zombie.)

So this dead Russian mobster appears and kills the other one by grabbing onto his head and taking a chunk out. Then Peter Coyote's character uses a pistol to put one in the zombie's head. The zombie falls down, dead again.

(OKAY WTF! Did any of these writers even watch the original movies? You cannot kill an ROTLD zombie by shooting it, not in the chest, not in the head not anywhere. The only way to kill an ROTLD zombie is to reduce all of it to ash so there is nothing left of it.You cannot simply kill something that is already dead. ROTLD zombies are not alive they are reanimated.)

The rest of the film is the same except rather than exciting us with the tension created by unstoppable zombies chasing kids to their death, we get an hour of boring nonsense. And then when it gets good the swat team shows up and shoots them in the chest to kill them. Bad movie! It was hyped up as being a sequel, please don't call it that. It's not worth your time.
