Zombieland: Double Tap

that is a rare sequel that dares to ask: what if the zombie apocalypse had a sense of humor and a heart.. and then answers with a big, dumb, hilarious yes. Woody Harrelson is in peak form, chewing scenery and zombies with equal enthusiasm. Emma Stone reminds us she’s not just an Oscar winner but also a comedic gem, bringing wit and much-missed playfulness back to the screen. Abigail Breslin is... well, present. Unfortunately, her character feels more like a plot device than a person, which is a shame for someone with her acting chops. But let’s get real.. this movie belongs to Zoey Deutch. Her portrayal of the “dumb blonde” could’ve crashed and burned into cliché, but instead, she delivers something unexpectedly brilliant. Every exaggerated blink and misplaced thought is timed to perfection. She's so funny it almost hurts. You laugh at her, then with her, and before you know it, you’re rooting for her like she’s the heart of the crew. She steals the movie in glittery pink. It’s not reinventing the genre, and it doesn’t need to. It’s here for a good time, and trust me, you’ll be laughing through the blood splatter.

This movies amazing.

I have to say that was a little underwhelmed. The movie was funny enough, but I was just expecting a bit more. For it to at least be as funny as it's predecessor if not more. A few random funny spots & some random stars and not much else. Definitely a rental flick in my opinion.

Double Tap is a hilarious, action-packed sequel that ups the chaos. With great chemistry between the cast and plenty of laughs, it’s a wild ride that doesn't take itself too seriously

This recaptures almost all the energy, charm, quirkiness, 50% of the heart & awesomeness of the first. The editing and pacing isn't bad here. Where the first was a RomCom Horror flick this is Zombie Road movie effectively with a side of Romcom. Problem is effectively the outcome is the same as the first. We go on a hunt for Little Rock, they grow apart and come back again. On the road it's really just gags more than anything that happen. Maybe half the time it's important to the plot. Thing is everything else is solid about this. The humor is pretty solid actually and because it maintains the look, feel, and quirks of the first so much it's able to get away with when it meanders on the road at times. The kills also are pretty creative and solid. The fight with Dawson at the Hotel is really good and arguably the highlight of this. But even when it does stuff that doesn't go anywhere like introducing the subtypes of zombies at the start or trying to get the RV it's either funny, fun, or just pretty well done on it's own. The other issue is in terms of new characters some like Madison are kind of annoying but give you some laughs. I have to admit she did start to get annoying after such a long while and I'm glad we got a break from her. Little Rock is probably the weakest thing in this. She feels like an afterthought despite being the McGuffin effectively and is just alright. Everyone else is solid though. Harrelson is the best once again, Stone is great with a deadpan delivery, and Dawson is the best new character. It does feel like most of the new characters though are here for gags more than anything of equal substance to the main trio including Madison. Kind of a love hate relationship with her. Even when the humor does miss though it doesn't stop to think about it and the charm this has makes it forgiveable. It doesn't miss that often though and there are some really good laughs. They do try to do a love triangle in this and it sort of works for laughs and amusement more than anything of substance like the first though. And there really isn't much in the way of new character development besides repeating the arcs of the first in the sense. But anyone who is a fan of the first, any actors in this, the director (really good job here), horror, comedies, and zombie flicks should check this out. It's a Zombie Flick classic.

It's not as good as the first but that doesn't mean it's bad because it is far from bad. Still a very fun, enjoyable, zombie movie!

I cannot stand child stars. Abigail Breslin is unbearably smug in every movie she’s in and it bring this directionless movie down even further. Nothing really happens. It’s just not worth revisiting.

little to no story, and the characters are very one-dimensional

Double Tap is a great sequel to a great first movie, I do not prefer the first or the second, both are fun, actually Double Tap has a little advantage by not wasting again someone like Bill Murray 🙄 Unlike other sequels this one comes much later as usual and does not feel as if it was made only to milk the success of the first one, the actors and so the characters are older now, which gives the whole thing more depth, well not like a drama, but like Zombieland, Double Tap is about the people and both movies have a very likable cast, at least I like to see them interact, follow them. There are some new characters, mainly Rosario Dawson, which only problem is, that she seems to appear everywhere in the past few years. But she is cool here, actually she is cool most of the time in evry role she plays 🙂 All in all Zombieland: Double Tap is an excellent movie and everybody, who liked the first one and want to see what happened to Columbus, Tallahassee, Wichita and Little Rock...or never saw the movies...watch it!

A fun continuation of the story and characters that we all love from the first film, while never reaching that film’s heights.
