Zombieland: Double Tap (2019) User Reviews

Entertaining.

[ThomDerd · 7/10 · 5 January 2020]

The anti-zombie bunch is back and having fun. But soon things start to change as the protagonists' motives get complicated. Also, zombies are smarter now... Seems that the sequel is better than the first movie, but probably you gotta see the first one to compare and also get the jokes. I appreciated the cameos as they helped with the movie pace. And ofcourse there is a good set of actors in the film to help deliver funny one-liners that keep you entertained throughout. 7/10 stupidly fun film.

Zoey Deutch Steals The Movie

[slightlymad22 · 8/10 · 18 October 2019]

I just got out of Zombieland: Double Tap

I wasn't the biggest fan of the first movie, i thought it was fun, but I never felt the need to rewatch it and i promptly forgot about it until the sequel was announced.

This is laugh out loud funny at times, I know zombie apocalypse movies are not where you expect to find laughs, but this has a lot of them. There was a lot of laughter in my screening.

Woody Harrelson is as awesome as he always is, and is on top form, its always nice to see Emma Stone playing a fun role, her parts down so serious lately!! Yes, i know she is an Oscar winner and she should be playing the best parts she can get, its just nice to see her having fun in a role again, as she is a good comedic actress, I love some of her facial expressions.

Now, when I hear the name Abigail Breslin, its always the little girl from My Sisters Keeper and Little Miss Subshine who pops into my head, I always forget the has grown up!! Even though I though i though she was great in Maggie with Arnie. She is fun here too, although her character is more of a plot device than anything else. A bit of a waste of her talents.

But it was Zoey Deutch who steals the movie for me. She was such an unexpected, delightful surprise. Playing the dumb blonde is a hard act to do well without being annoying!! Generally outside of one or two performances I hate the cliche of a dumb blonde character, but she nails it. I wouldn't be surprised if this is her breakout role.

Why the hate

[mentiramivida6 · 8/10 · 20 December 2023]

Unless you didn't enjoy the first film i dont know why you wouldn't like this one. It's identical to the first one. They literally changed nothing but locations. It's the same cheesy "dialogue", same stoopid one liners. What's not to like? :)

This definitely is rated to high but seeing as nothing was new I couldn't very well down vote it since I did enjoy it just as much as the first one. If it doesn't take you much to find humor or fun in silly things then this will be right up your alley.

Nothing but silliness for silly Billy's. Just pop a squat, grab some snacks to keep you occupied while this melts away a couple brain cells.

Still enjoying the little things...

[shanemoose-88715 · 7/10 · 18 October 2019]

This is a sequel for fans of the first 'Zombieland', simple as that. It's not here to try and persuade mainstream critics into actually liking a Horror movie, not to make a statement on society, or give you a glimpse into the director and/or writers' state of mind. It's here to say, "Sorry we kept you all waiting, now let's get back to business!" That business being zombie gore, gross-out gags, cheesy one-liners, and jokes about men who drive minivans. The main four actors give it their all and have fun as they slip back into their beloved roles and some of the new additions are a treat. The only downside is that it's mostly the same old song and dance. Of course, it all depends on whether or not you enjoyed the first movie. If you did, then I'm confident that you'll enjoy this one immensely.

A sequel that doesn't dishonor the original

[jackgdemoss · 7/10 · 31 October 2019]

Zombieland 2 joins the esteemed ranks of sequels that don't utterly disappoint, coming in with an "almost as good as the original" finish. The cast members still mesh well together 10 years later. Zoey Deutch is a notable new addition whose character is absolutely unbearable at first due to sheer outlandishness, but she eventually grew on me. Zombieland has a bit of comedy, a bit of heart-warming, and a healthy amount of zombie killing. Something for everyone here.

Better than the first one

[timothywalton-31924 · 7/10 · 19 December 2023]

Contrary to what many critics thought, i found thus second zombie land movie much better than its predecessor. Whereas I thought the first movie was not as fun and quite empty, I found Zombieland 2 to be much better. Perhaps it is because the actors are older, and had more time to mature and hone their skills. I found the ensemble cast of Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, and Emma Stone, to be simply brilliant in their comedic roles, a marked improvement from their already good performance in the first film. Stone in particular, one of my favourite actresses today, offers a wonderful performance, and shows herself to not only be a dramatic, but also a comedic gem. She is strong willed and assertive(even more so than in the first film), with a caustic wit and penetrating intelligence, coupled with superb comedic acting work. Of course, there is also Zoey Deutsch, who is excellent as a total airhead, and genuinely funny. In fact on the whole, I found Zombieland 2 to be much funnier and much more enjoyable. It has a more complete story(which was a complaint I had of the original), and features a sharper script. It is also better because of this: whereas the first film shows how four unlikely characters teamed up together, this film focuses more on the camaraderie and kinship, the wit, banter, and barbs between a loving 'family', which made for good entertainment. I really did not expect to like Zombieland 2 so much, but I must say, it is really pretty good stuff, and makes for great, entertaining cinema which is more than just a serviceable diversion.

Sometimes less is more and not every movie needs a sequel

[arabnikita · 6/10 · 17 October 2019]

When Zombieland came out in 2009 it was able to break the routine of zombie films by using an unorthodox style with its quirky dialogues, rules and storytelling. It was wild, fresh and most inportantly fun thanks in large part to a great cast that made the experience memorable. Zombieland: Double Tap, brought back the entire to send them on a new adventure but sadly, the story leaves a lot more to be desired.

This zombie fairy tale starts of well describing how the world has evolved in the past 10 years and the changes that came with it but in the grand scheme of things, its a pale shadow when compared to the original. They did bring in some new elements and characters that do a decent job of fitting into the narrative but ultimately, the movie fails to grasp the lightheartedness and energy of its predecessor.

I am a harsh critic when it comes to zombie films but here I understand that realism should go out the window to allow the movie to be a comedy. They doubled on the jokes but half of them ended up feeling either forced or stale which prevented the movie from having a smooth flow. The cast makes this movie worth the watch as it feels like they haven't changed since 2009 making it a decent sequel to be honest, Zombieland should have been left as a standalone cult classic.

Double Tap: Double Fun !!

[pawanpunjabithewriter · 9/10 · 12 April 2020]

I've watched this movie at the best possible time - during the Covid19 outbreak and complete lockdown situation. So, one can relate as here Zombies are killing the world , here people are dying from the Virus. Hope all gets good very very soon!

Well, I saw mixed reviews for this one, which sequels usually have. Considering that, I didn't have much expectations, but trust me, it turned out to be even more fun. There are more laughs , it's more hilarious. It has more and better characters, some are really crazy! Talahassee and Columbus are such a good team man, I'm in awe! They are two of the finest when they come together, especially, Talahassee. It's very adventurous, every character justifies their role pretty well. And yes, the zombies have evolved! That's the first sentence movie starts with. No Spoilers.

I rate this one very high, for me the first one is little, very little overrated, and this is quite underrated. Watch that first and then this! You'll enjoy both, and maybe this one more. I don't understand why this one has a lesser rating. Did you like my reviews? If yes, Smile! If no, then take a deep breath and Smile!

Solid Sequel

[Tweetienator · 7/10 · 6 November 2019]

Not as fresh and funny as the first one but still funny enough. Good cast (you can see and feel that they got a lot of fun making the movie), good production, here and there a nice gore effect - in short: Double Tap is a solid sequel with some fine moments and good if you are into zombie comedy

Flawed and repeat

[peterrifkin · 4/10 · 19 December 2019]

I LOVE the first film! The humour is just fantastic. And it was fresh at the time. Double tap is trying to make the same film, and actually it has nothing more to give the characters or story. This movie is totally unnecessary and should be held down longer. Considering it took them ten years to make a sequel its obvious that they have struggled to make it. Storywise and followthrough.

Just disappointed of the whole thing...

Just as funny and irreverent as the original, even if it hits all the same beats

[Bertaut · 7/10 · 5 November 2019]

The original Zombieland (2009) was something of a sleeper hit, earning over $100 million against a $24 million budget, becoming the most financially successful zombie most ever made, until it was surpassed by the asinine World War Z (2013). Smart, funny, and self-aware, it didn't take itself too seriously, and it had bucket-loads of heart, but it was hardly a film crying out for a sequel. And as time passed, it seemed more and more unlikely such a sequel would happen. However, after a decade in development hell, Zombieland: Double Tap has arrived, and boy is it one of the most unnecessary sequels I've seen in quite some time. However, as unnecessary as it is, it's also extremely enjoyable. It doesn't do a whole lot that wasn't in the original, but the irreverent sense of humour, fourth wall breaks, sharp character interactions, and, most importantly, shedloads of charm are all present and accounted for. Directed by Ruben Fleischer (who helmed the original) and written by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick (who wrote the original), along with Dave Callaham, Double Tap may not take too many risks, but it's a fine companion piece.

10 years after the events in the first film, the quartet is still together and still getting on one another's nerves - there's the neurotic but sweet Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg doing his Jessie Eisenberg thing), the crass but caring Tallahassee (a wonderfully acerbic Woody Harrelson), the sarcastic Wichita (a dead-pan Emma Stone) and the laidback Little Rock (Abigail Breslin doing a lot with the little she's given). As we meet them, they're in the process of taking up residence in the White House - Columbus and Wichita are still a couple, but recently, she's started to wonder if perhaps their relationship is more important to him than it is to her; Little Rock is now a young woman who resents the fact that Tallahassee still treats her like she's 11; and Tallahassee, for his part, hasn't changed an iota. After Columbus proposes to Wichita (using the Hope Diamond), she and Little Rock skip town, but she returns a month later, telling the others that Little Rock ditched her and headed to a supposed zombie-free commune. And so the trio reluctantly set out to find her. Along the way, we're introduced to Madison (Zoey Deutch, who completely steals the film), a millennial bimbo who's been holed up in walk-in freezer; Berkeley (Avan Jogia), a peace-loving hippie; Nevada (Rosario Dawson), a tough-as-nails Elvis aficionado; and Albuquerque (Luke Wilson) and Flagstaff (Thomas Middleditch), who are eerily similar to Tallahassee and Columbus (the reveal of which was spoiled by the trailer). There's also a new breed of zombie, which is faster, stronger, and more intelligent than the regular kind, and which can only be killed with multiple head-shots.

And that's about it as far as the plot goes.

Although 10 years have passed and the zombie movie landscape is very different, one of the sequel's most successful elements is that next to nothing has changed; in essence, it acknowledges the gap precisely by ignoring it. So, Columbus's opening voiceover specifically refers to the long break as he thanks us for choosing Double Tap when there is such "a wide choice of zombie entertainment" and Madison tells Tallahassee his catchphrase is "very 2009", but the film as a whole feels as if it was shot immediately after the original. Of course, this is important insofar as in the universe of the franchise, the last decade has been very different to the last decade of our reality, so the filmmakers can't layer in too many contemporary references - although Columbus does mention how "unrealistic" The Walking Dead comics are, there's a hilarious deconstruction of the concept of Uber, and there's a subtle allusion to Trump when Wichita sarcastically tells Tallassee he'd have brought "a real dignity" to the office of the presidency.

This factors into the performances as well, insofar as Columbus, Tallahassee, and Wichita are all broadly similar to how they were 10 years ago. Little Rock has changed significantly, but that's as much to do with the fact that she was a child in the original and is now a young woman. This lack of character development may sound like a bad thing, but really, the familiarity of the characters and their group dynamic has its own inherent charm, we welcome it because it's familiar, with the cast essentially doing the same things they did in the original. Speaking of performances, Zoey Deutch completely owns every scene she's in. Sure, the character is clichéd as all hell and, on paper, she should be all kinds of annoying, but that she isn't, is a testament to Deutch's warm performance, finding genuine pathos amidst the perpetually peppy and cheerful high-energy ditz. She also has great chemistry with the original cast, especially Harrelson. In fact, all of the new actors have terrific chemistry, which is nice to see insofar as effortless chemistry was one of the hallmarks of the original.

In terms of problems, as mentioned, the film doesn't do a whole lot that wasn't in the original - the characters, the narrative beats, the group dynamic, the humour; all are pretty much the same as the original, and for some, this will certainly be an issue. Indeed, as much as I enjoyed the film, I would have liked to see it take more risks (there's certainly nothing here to rival the inspired Bill Murray cameo). Because of this blanket similarity, there is a sense in which the sequel isn't really its own thing, it's defined primarily by what the original did rather than forging its own path, and a lot of the meta-humour only works if you know the original. Another problem is that it fails to do much with an interesting set-up, which sees women chaffing against traditional gender roles and the identities conferred on them by men. Once the gang end up on the road, this theme is pretty much forgotten (even with the introduction of Nevada, who seems more like a man's idea of what a tough woman should be than her own person). There are also more than a few clichés, primarily in relation to Madison (as blond a character as you'll ever meet) and the one-note Berkeley (a weed-smoking gun-hating hippie, who is literally introduced by way of a sitar on the soundtrack).

Zombieland: Double Tap is undemanding and doesn't completely justify its existence, but it also does justice to the original, and never for one second does it take itself seriously. The effortlessness with which it slots into the original's groove is either funny in its own right or poor writing, depending on your perspective, but the film is smart enough to know and acknowledge that it feels slightly out of place in 2019. And if a little of the spark has been lost, the warmth, the characters, the jokes, and the playfulness more than make up for it.

A painful reunion

[Dassa-7720 · 2/10 · 18 December 2019]

I really enjoyed the quirky and outrageous details in the first instalment, so I was quite looking forward to the return of Tallahassee and Columbus. But boy, was this a disappointment. To sum it up, a combination of a terrible script, desperate "comedic" acting and a non existent plot made it a real challenge to get through. Even the surprise post credit scenes was just off.

Golden rule: no sequel is as good as its predecessor (except Terminator 2, better than its predecessor) but they do earn good amount of dough.

[Fella_shibby · 7/10 · 26 December 2019]

I saw this recently after revisiting part 1 and was totally disappointed. While the first one is filled with humor n gore, this one is devoid of gore n the humor is very lil n one of the most important thing, the amusement park, is missing n extra characters r introduced jus for the sake of the runtime. Nothing memorable apart from the start credit scene where an intelligent zombie uses the eyeball of a dead person to unlock a sealed door.

A rare comedic sequel that works!

[eddie_baggins · 7/10 · 20 October 2019]

While it was never going to capture the lightning in a bottle vibe of the first film, a film that came out of nowhere to become an audience pleasing hit that remains a fan favourite to this day, the purely enjoyable nature and solid comedic delights of Zombieland: Double Tap comes as a genuine surprise 10 years on from Ruben Fleischer and his cast's original outing.

There's not many instances in cinematic history that a 10 year's in the making sequel ends up being more than decent and even less instances in the comedy genre, so Double Tap deserves a pat on the back for bucking that trend and giving fans of the original exactly what they wanted, more laugh out loud banter between our mismatched characters, epic zombie kills and memorable cameos, that help ensure Double Tap's brief run-time never lags in the entertainment stakes.

To be clear, in a one v one battle 2009's Zombieland would win hands down and Double Tap is unlikely to leave as much of a lasting impression as the first film did but thanks to Fleischer's energetic direction and staging of action scenes (almost as if Venom never even existed) and the returning cast members chemistry and comedic timing, there's barely a dull moment to be found in this newest zombie filled outing that knows what it is and what it's audience wants.

It's a great get for Double Tap to once more have Woody Harrelson's hard-edged Tallahassee, Jesse Eisenberg's nervous and rule-centric Columbus, Emma Stone's world-wise Wichita and Abigail Breslin's now grown-up Little-Rock together again and while Breslin has seemingly lost a fair chunk of her pre-adulthood charm and acting smarts, the rest of the cast have a ball returning to these characters, that in many ways helped shape their last decade in the film industry.

Without missing a beat the main cast of Double Tap get to also enjoy added additions such as a scene stealing Zoey Deutch as the dim-witted but likeable Madison, Rosario Dawson as Tallahassee's female doppelganger and fellow Elvis fan Nevada, while an extended cameo by Luke Wilson and Thomas Middleditch plays out perfectly in some of the films best moments.

All this joy from the cast and quick-moving pace helps cover up some of Double Tap's more obvious flaws such a wafer-thin plotline that's not even worth mentioning and a finale that lacks the bite of the first film but when all is said and done, nit-picking on these moments is pointless in a film that never takes itself too seriously, gives us some awesome new zombie kills of the week and introduces us all to a new word that's sure to take off in the form of being "Murrayed".

Final Say -

Super fun, super dumb and superficial as they come, Zombieland: Double Tap has no real right to be as enjoyable as it is and while it never reaches the comedic heights of the first film, this sequels ability to work suggests there's room enough for another Zombieland adventure still. Let's just hope they don't keep us waiting another 10 years.

3 ½ pacifists out of 5

A really good sequel!!!

[The_Big_Picture_Films · 7/10 · 29 October 2019]

I was really looking forward to this movie, I have been waiting for a sequel since the first came out so when I heard it is finally coming out I was so excited and after watching it I really enjoyed it. First off it is not as good as the first but it is still very funny and the cast are all great just like the first. The only thing is that the best part of the movie is the mid credit scene and I think that's a huge flaw is having one of the best written and acted at the credits. I think the plot is interesting but has been done before. But at the end of it, it's a comedy sequel so of course it usually isn't as good as the first so it was a very good comedy sequel and definitely recommend checking it out in theatres!!!

A surprisingly good comedy sequel

[cardsrock · 7/10 · 6 November 2019]

I've gotta say this was a pretty unnecessary sequel, but man was this a fun time. If you can overlook the film hitting a lot of the same story beats as the original, there is a ton to enjoy here. The chemistry between the leads is still as strong as ever and the new cast additions are great, especially Zoey Deutch. There are tons of clever gags and jokes that nearly surpass those in the original. Zombieland: Double Tap is better than it has any right to be for a decade late comedy sequel.

Also, Bill f'n Murray.

I Don't Understand the Hate for This Movie

[aleximsda · 7/10 · 29 January 2020]

I truly don't understand all of the sour reviews for this movie.

Is it better than the original? No. But how many sequels are?

Is it enjoyable and entertaining? Hell yes!

This movie isn't trying to take itself seriously (how can it - it's Zombieland?) You can tell the cast was having fun, and the producers had a good time making it. It's not trying to be Citizen Kane or win any Oscars, it's just a fun follow-up to a great comedy horror.

I would compare this to Lethal Weapon 2 vs. the original Lethal Weapon - some of the jokes are repeated, it's flawed compared to the first, but it stands solidly on it's own, with the characters continuing their wacky and dangerous adventures together.

There's a lot to like in this film, and I enjoyed getting to see more survivors of the zombie apocalypse and how they handle staying alive.

If you enjoyed the first film, you will like the second - I thought it was a solid effort, I was entertained throughout, laughing and smiling the entire movie.

I don't get it.

[ivonneishere · 1/10 · 30 October 2019]

I saw Zombieland the first movie. And it was fresh, funny, it moved along at a nice clip. It was fluffy entertainment. The characters were personable and made me care about them and made me root for them. I really enjoyed the original Zombieland movie. I saw it several times as a matter of fact. BUT... Zombieland 2? What the heck happened? It's as if the characters are coasting on the success of the first. They don't even try to be interesting. They spend the entire first half doing nothing. It was dead space. Yeah, pun intended. Nothing happened. It was like the Seinfeld of the movie theater, the show about nothing, this was the movie about nothing... but unlike Seinfeld which was funny, Zombieland 2 was BORING. The characters banter back and forth and back and forth and back and forth...Then they split up for the dumbest of reasons. It's as if they really didn't know what to do with themselves, so just split up and pretend like they don't mean anything to each other. Then suddenly oh, they do mean something to each other. Then more banter. Then a ditsy character joins in and she spends her time repeating herself. Yes, she's brainless. Okay. I got it. Please, stop beating me over the head with that! I just think the writers had no idea what to do with these characters and just put them in a random pointless scenario just to tell the audience, "look! remember these funny characters? yeah, laugh at them for no reason." They all became so annoying that I actually walked out of the theater and asked for a refund, but they don't give refunds so I got a free ticket instead so I'm not too upset. I was SO looking forward to this movie. I relished seeing the characters again. I wanted to laugh out loud and have a good time. Instead I yawned, I felt sleepy. I got bored out of my skull and I walked out. Ugh. How did this movie end? Who cares?

About as good as the first.

[planktonrules · 8/10 · 25 April 2020]

The "Zombieland" films are definitely NOT movies for film snobs. They are mindless fun and violence...and this is NOT a complaint. As a tiny bit of a film snob myself, I do sometimes love seeing something this mindless....and it keeps me from becoming too pretentious. I strongly recommend this second one...because it's much of what you got in the first one and about as good.

Unlike some sequels, this one, fortunately, was able to bring back the old cast. Now, ten years later, the group faces two problems....the group starts to dissolve into individuals and there is a new threat....worse, stronger and smarter zombies. Can they all manage to get back together and work together to defeat this new batch of baddies?

By the way, if you do see this film, a couple things you need to know. First, it's very, very, very violent. Yes, at times it's almost cartoonish violence, but it has a lot of blood, guts and yecch! Second, do NOT turn the movie off before the credits roll...please watch all the credits. You'll see why.

I just wanted it to end..

[sismagilova · 2/10 · 19 October 2019]

I loved the first one, it was hilarious and full of unique surprises.. this one was lame.. is comedy dying?

Not bad, not bad!

[subxerogravity · 7/10 · 18 October 2019]

Pretty good zombie flick. I thought it was pretty funny. Was no real need to bring these characters back, but I thought the movie did pretty good as a stand alone. Did not need to see the last movie to really enjoy this one. It was entertaining. Got a kick out of watching it.

Rating: B

[msbreviews · 7/10 · 26 October 2019]

If you enjoy reading my Spoiler-Free reviews, please follow my blog :)

As you probably know by now, since I posted the original film's review a few hours ago, I loved the first Zombieland. I defend that it's a zombie cult classic, and I was genuinely pumped for its sequel. It didn't go through any external controversy (something quite rare nowadays), the cast didn't say anything wrong in the interviews (haters didn't have enough words to twist this time around), Ruben Fleischer returns as the director, as well as Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick (plus a new member, Dave Callaham) as the screenwriters. If a studio wants to do a 10-year sequel, it might as well get the creators and original cast back together, right?!

That's what I love the most about Double Tap. It didn't lose the original's essence, and it didn't forget what made it so successful. The cast's chemistry can be felt thousands of miles away, but the new additions also fit in seamlessly. Zoey Deutch portrays Madison, a purposefully stereotypical "dumb blonde girl" who has some of the funniest scenes as well as some of the most cringe-worthy (Deutch gives an excellent performance, though). And Rosario Dawson plays Nevada, basically a women version of Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson), which means she has a bunch of badass action sequences. As for the old gang, well...

Everyone delivers great performances, but this time, Harrelson really elevated his character. Not only does he have the expected awesome kickass moments, but he also offers some emotionally compelling displays. Emma Stone (Wichita) and Abigail Breslin (Little Rock) keep being amazing as their characters, and Jesse Eisenberg (Columbus) does get a bit too ... Jesse Eisenberg, but it never stops feeling natural, having in mind how his character acts. These four are the heart of the whole show. Hence, getting the original cast back together is halfway through success, even more than in the first movie. Story-wise is where I do have some complaints, unfortunately.

Maybe it's due to the fact that I watched 2009's Zombieland just a couple of hours before Double Tap's screening, but I wish that Fleischer and his team were more creative. Sure, the original was 10 years ago, and not everyone is going to rewatch the original (especially not right before), so it's expected that a lot of classic moments are recreated in some shape or form. However, for an extended period, I felt that I was watching the exact same film, just with older characters. I know I'm going to hear some of Columbus' original famous rules, but there's a surprising lack of new ones. I know Tal is going to repeat some of his catchphrases, but he's an imaginative guy, he can think of fresh ones (which he does say in the last minutes, but still).

To move the plot forward or actually make the story happen, a lot of questionable things occur, and not in the sense of them not being rational (it's not like Zombieland is a groundbreaking piece of storytelling). It's the apparent lack of character development through all of the years that have passed, and I'm not addressing their personalities being the same (it's pretty normal). To create this movie, characters make decisions that don't feel right, having in mind they spent so much time together. It's impossible for love, trust, and emotional attachment not to be developed throughout such a long time. So, while Little Rock's arc is understandable and relatable, Wichita and Columbus' lacks convincing arguments, in my opinion. Both make decisions too dumb for such intelligent characters, but I guess "that's love".

Once again, the technical features that defined the original so clearly are seamlessly employed in its sequel. Beautiful production design, cool soundtrack, fantastic application of practical effects and real sets, which nowadays are getting rarer. The slightly longer runtime still manages to carry a fast pace, which is always a good attribute, and it's packed with thrilling, hilarious, bloody action sequences. Amusing pop culture references, and the most significant moment of all: Double Tap has one of the best, if not THE best, mid-credits scene of the year! Don't you dare leave the theater, it's right at the beginning of the credits, so stay in your seat!

All in all, Zombieland: Double Tap pays a decent homage to the original zombie cult classic by getting everyone (cast and crew) back together, and delivering yet another entertaining flick. By maintaining the essence of the first film, Ruben Fleischer is able to capture the outstanding cast's chemistry, as well as present those amazingly entertaining action sequences. Even though the central narrative isn't as straightforward and interesting as in the original, it's still captivating enough for the audience to care about. There is an excessive amount of callbacks to classic catchphrases, rules, or moments, which shows a bit of a lack of imagination to create new material. While it's not as funny or entertaining as the 2009's movie, it's still a good time. If you're a fan of Zombieland, definitely watch it! If not, well... Nut up and watch it or shut up and let others enjoy it.

Same light-hearted zombie horror action as before

[Krush_Burner · 7/10 · 16 October 2019]

It took quite long to make a sequel to 'Zombieland', but patience is definitely rewarded. There's not much new stuff here, but that's not the point - cast and mood is the point. The great chemistry between all the main characters is still working, and make you want to see more, no matter what they do, discussing the relationships status, strolling across the deserted mall, or killing zombies. Of course, there's something new. First of all, there's several new kinds of zombies. Then, new location of 'Babylon Tower' (inhabited by hippies) serves as the battlefield for the final clash with an army of improved undeads. Plus, a couple of new characters are added, and they're pretty much fits the story. Oh, and Bill Murray is here too, don't go away after the end credits roll. However, all those additions seem to be just a minor elements, since the heart of 'Zombieland: Double Tap' is the characters and good, smash, bloody action. Its not about SFX or tricky plot twists, its about people killing zombies, talking about their Iives and trying to survive.

Fun and funny!

[Top_Dawg_Critic · 8/10 · 5 February 2020]

It's better than I expected! All cast-members were spot on, the directing and cinematography excellent, and the writing was fantastic. Pacing and run-time were perfect for a film that was fun and equally funny. A well deserving 8/10 from me!

Amusing
