CRITICISM

Sometimes, great movies, where you have the feeling that you would have been more than planned happens. If the right people come in front of and behind the camera together, to meet at exactly the right Moment a nerve. Zombieland was a Film that consistently acts as if a bunch of people just a lot of fun with it, the (2009 law slaughtered) Zombie Genre on the shovel to take. The remarkable box-office success and, above all, of the following cult-Status, seemed to be the creators to surprise a lot more than the audience. Such, more or less random genius, for a second Time to capture is an almost impossible task, such as Zombieland 2 , unfortunately, makes it clear.

Probably the biggest factor here is the loss of the surprise effect. In 2009, nobody quite knew what to expect, if he Zombieland looks. Today, the audience has specific expectations of the sequel, and not every are the same. The a liked the grotesquely exaggerated depiction of violence and the attendant macabre sense of Humor. The other fell in love with the wonderfully loopy characters and their screamingly funny interactions. These aspects again in exactly the same ratio of mixture to add to a tightrope act to get and even if you succeed, the movie lacks still the feeling of the New, because, actually, we have seen all of this already.

To counter this, you have to go the beaten path of “more of everything”, of which, unfortunately, is no great help. Where you characters 10 years ago, with 4, a lot of Zombies and a Road trip in search of Twinkies is coming, needs it today, a whole squad of minor characters, locations and a set up acting Zombie-classification to the when reduced to the Essential, to tell the same story: “A handful of oblique types to Zombies through a devastated America and kill a bunch of”. All these newly introduced elements are partially used never, makes the whole thing even better. As explained to us, although the various zombie types to the beginning of the dive, but then in the further course, as well as not more and have absolutely no relevance to the plot.

Another shortcoming of Zombieland 2 seems to be that no longer all that much fun to have seem as in the past. Because while Woody Harrelson shines in the role of the crazed Tallahassee to be working, the Rest of the Cast hardly this level of enthusiasm notice. Especially Abigail Breslin (as Little Rock) acts as a would rather be somewhere far away from the Set of this film. Jesse Eisenberg and Emma Stone don’t go in order, but nothing more. The new arrivals, in addition to other Zoey Deutch, Rosario Dawson and Luke Wilson leave a great impressions on the audience. But that is more on the script than their acting performances. Thus, Harrelson remains, although here, too, the Highlight of the Cast, although he is this Time alone.

And in spite of all of this is Zombieland 2 still good entertainment. The staging is competent and fluid, camera and editing work with all sorts of fun Tricks to convince the previous in no way inferior, and the Humor can’t, even if he’s quite reached the level of the time. This Set comes first class and Makeup work, as well as this brightly colored and comic-like style, which has already passed 10 years ago perfectly with the quirky Zombie slaughter-fest and it still does. In the same vein, the Soundtrack, the rather inconsequential Score is repeatedly interrupted by Song-classics hits by the way, at the same time not at all and then yet again excellent for the shown insanity fit.

CONCLUSION

Sequels have it is generally difficult, this is not a new insight. It is also the legacy of a film to compete, which was never designed to be a successor and Fans as a cult is traded, multiplies the difficulty of the undertaking is again tremendously. Unfortunately, Zombieland 2: two are better than one this Test do not exist. Too far, the script slips in the old “Bigger, louder, more”trap, and expanded the simple but ingenious basic concept of unnecessary items that will not be used. In addition, only Woody Harrelson seems to really have fun of it, what is so lovable dynamic between the protag nest scratch noticeably. At the end of a quite fun Zombie action movie full of macabre, bloody Humor left who knows how to entertain, but not to the qualities of its predecessor, the approach is sufficient.
