The Dead 2 starts with beautiful pictures and a good outbreak scenario, but it soon becomes clear,that the acting range goes from "medium to low" and the further the "story" develops, the more of this movie becomes a mess up until the very very bad ending.
The first half was enjoyable and captured the mood of its very good predecessor, but then it takes a downward spiral with forced, cheesy dialogues, a very stupid "coincidence" that should trigger emotions, but only makes you laugh after the "soapish" moments, leading to it.
And the acting had its moments, but turned more and more to the level of a very bad TV soap with amateurs, trying to make their first steps into the business.
I liked the "slow moving" Zombies, but even there it turns out to become really ridiculous with editing mistakes and scenes where you are thinking: just outrun them, as they are sooooooo slow...
I loved "The Dead" but "The Dead 2" you have to take with a lot of humour (unintended). It promises a good sequel and starts in the spirit of part 1 but goes wrong on every level as the movie progresses into a cheap acted soap opera with Zombies...
