Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004)
Pure crap
After seeing the movie i can't really find one single good thing about. Well, except that Milla is pretty sexy but that won't save the movie. I thought RE1 was pretty good, because it was pretty nice filmed, and edited. However after reading some comments here about RE2 my expectation were low. Even so, i'm almost surprised how bad it was. Everything in the movie was totally predictable, from single scenes to whole plot. Other then that it was poorly shot and edited, with fast upclose action moves, so fast you never actually see them because they couldn't have pulled it off otherwise. Also i'm sick and tired of the "Booo!!" from zombies and monsters...they don't have any effect! And still they always succeed being dead silent and hidden and suddenly they are all there screaming in the next camera cut...whats that all about?
1/10
Buddy (2003)
A comfortable movie
The first half of the movie felt fresh and i don't see many Norwegian movies, but with the inner city and young hipp youths in the center of the movie it didn't feel that different from any other Scandinavian movie. What i liked was some of the short jokes with/from the supporting casts. The story itself felt a little like ED-TV with similar sub-plots. I'm a bit disappointed at the ending, as it felt a bit cliché but thats something that was expected of course with the evolving story pushing for it too obvious. Some of the setting and cast were good though, and some minor good jokes. A comfortable movie to watch.
I rate it 3/5.
Shaun of the Dead (2004)
Good zombie flick and funny at the same time.
I was quite surprised by this movie. I saw 28 days later and Dawn of the dead just before it. 28 days and dawn had some entertainment value but i didn't think they were good. In the end they were just action movies.
Shaun of the dead tried to be a parody on those films. And it does a really great job. At the same time it also manage to be a better zombie flick than the other two. The zombies acts like zombies, they don't run etc...and the humor in the movie is English and isn't overdone nor overacted. Killing-scenes are also very good and graphical, and no too-fast-for-your-eyes-action-Hollywood-scenes. Good work, 9/10
