Zombieland will arguably go down as a classic from the early 2000s, and this movie tries to live up to that. They almost achieve that, but still miss the mark.
As mentioned, I found this to be funnier than the first film. Maybe that's just me, but I loved the comedy in this one. However, this movie isn't as emotional or character driven as the first Zombieland, and thats mostly what brings the movie down for me.
While the first Zombieland focuses on all 4 characters, this movie mostly focuses on Columbus and Witchita (is that how you spell it?) and their relationship. While that's not bad, they spend little time adding to Tallahassee and Little Rock's characters. They get their own story arcs but they don't really go anywhere.
Zoey Deutch is the scene stealer in this movie. She is way too good at playing an idiot and most of her scenes are elevated by her. The rest of the cast has solid acting as well. It wasn't Oscar worthy or anything, but were good.
To wrap it up, it's funny and has a good cast. Good pacing and fun action sequences. Biggest flaws would be less character driven and less emotional than Zombieland 1. I can watch this and enjoy myself anytime.
