The first one was so rushed, it needed a snydercut

First one needed to be a limited anthology series depicting the various perspectives from the book.

Liked the first one but felt it was vastly different from the books. Still a good zombie flick, though.

WWZ had the best source material of any zombie story and it was the worst adaptation. So disappointing

if y’all haven’t read the book it’s riveting and smarter than it has any right to be considering the subject. The movie was 180 degrees from that

Felt it was vastly different? The only thing the movie and book has in common is the title.

And the zombies.

Honestly, my favorite part of any zombie show or movie is the outbreak and the chaos that ensues. Unfortunately, nearly all end up in a lull where they just hole up and most of the movie is them asking what they should do, trying to escape with 5 minutes left in the movie, and that’s that. Is it logical? Sure. But kind of boring when I want to see how everyone else is reacting to the outbreak.

I enjoyed WWZ because of the constant moving about and showing how a bunch of others are trying to handle it.

If this is your basis for having enjoyed the movie, you really really should read the book. It is a quick read.

WWZ would have been great a stand alone miniseries covering the different parts of the book.

I don't see where there is to go after the way the last one wrapped things up. I did enjoy the first though, so I will give it a chance.

What sequel could you even have?

Just make the book into a multi-series show.

Yay, another zombie film that will retell a story that's been told 900 times already!

Book was great.

Movie was good.

They are two distinct entities with the same name.

First was entertaining but it was WWZ in name only.
