The series needs something a little more interesting instead of people making stupid decisions all the time. If it's going to be stupid, then bat**** crazy stupid is a good way to take it. There's a whole 28 years of wtf!? behind that end scene that we don't know much about other then some bits and pieces from the start and throughout in tid bits, that we can maybe use to explain in a logical sense, and I also appreciate them actually not being scared to that in this day and age. I'll definitely watch the next one to see where they take it.

What I thought while watching the second (28 Weeks Later) film. Constant stupid decisions throughout the film that it just made me laugh at that point. It may as well have been a comedy.

Watched it, really not sure what to make of it, especially that last scene lol
Vibe of the show was all over the place. Seriously weird soundtrack as well, some very out of place music imo.

The ending was beyond awful. What were they thinking??
1980s horror movie apparently.
you can some up the whole of this movies plot in about 2 sentences, they didn't need a script.

I really enjoyed the first two, this one was very average for me, didn't feel like a "28" film. And as others have said the ending, oh my god how did that not get cut by someone,
acrobatic Jimmy Saville fan club was probably the weirdest thing I have ever seen in a film
Yes, a very surreal ending. Though, if anything, I guess it did make me laugh, even if later on after it was over.
I think about the only way the ending could have been 'improved', was if Sir Jimmy Crystal (Jack O'Connell), said something like "How's about that, then?".
Still, I think O'Connell played the part well.

I forgot that
Further from my previous post few pages back.
The secluded defendable island that succumbs to the eventual downfall from the zombies has been handled way better.
The comic series 'crossed' with 'wish you were here' does the secluded Highland community far better in scope and horror. It even does the more evolved Zombies far better.
I liked the idea of a coming of age with the kid. I get it's a setting the stage type deal, but it really needed some proper oomph.

It was watchable for the most but pretty terrible. I didn't need to see a huge giants dong swinging to make me feel even more insecure lol.
I wonder if the end part was in some way to show that as the UK has been isolated for so long that no external media has come into the country hence some of people that have been born and raised after the outbreak are kinda primitive. All of those with jimmy were pretty young so have they been bought up on a stash of old TV shows such as Jim'll Fix it and power rangers and adopted that as their religion/way of life?

Exactly that. In the 28 world, the outbreak was before Savile was revealed and they grew up watching TV from that age, hence the emphasis in the opening scenes.
I read an interview where Boyle confirmed this.

Ah cool.. Interesting but still a bit silly.. lol
Of all the things to pull out of the era and put into a film after twenty odd years, it’s still just a bizarre choice. They should have focused more on making a good film.
Not just putting it in, but having them also be gang of Parkour Ninja Now Then Now Thens that are seemingly the only people in this universe able to deal with a swarm of the infected running full pelt, just bizarre.
