I am a fan of Days and Weeks so here I go:
Days-Pros
Hope Factor
Cillian Murphy, Naomi Harris and Brendan Gleeson
Great Ending
Great Dialogue
Original (for a zombie movie)
Great Characters
Days-Cons
Megan Burns, Megan Burns and Megan Burns.
The Army part at the end was good, but a bit too sudden.
Weeks-Pros
Good Acting for everyone-NO MEGAN BURNS, YAY!
A tad bit better plot
Weeks-Cons
Less Original
Not as great characters
Doesn't have the hope factor
For me, I prefer Days, but Weeks is way up there as well. -

Well the whole movie was based on two idiots. I hope those kids understand they got thousands of people killed/infected (including their father) because of their absent-minded decision.
And also why did it take the army so long to stop the kids? Doyle saw the kids as they were going over the fence. They could have easily stopped them before they even got as far as they did.
All of that just irritated me the whole time.
So just from that, I love 28 Days Later more than "Weeks". But I do give them the child actors in Weeks were light-years better than the girl who played Hannah in Days. But as a whole "Days" is just awesome all around (even with the cringe-worthy scenes of Hannah). In my opinion.
I mean you can't go wrong with Cillian Murphy and Christopher Eccoleston. As much as I LOVE Jeremy Renner, he wasn't in enough of it to save it.
Why are you always smiling?
Cause its all so beep hysterical. -

I like 28 weeks way better. The first film, though it is enjoyable, is a little too surreal for my taste. I think the second film has a gritty realism and provocative human element that leaves you talking. The only thing I would have changed in the second film would be to have more UK soldiers and other nationals in the "nato-led" force. I would kept the same actors just have them do their real accents instead of american onesim looking at you Idris Elba.
28 weeks is one of my favorite zombie movies next to Snyder's Dawn of the Dead. -

There was so so much wrong with Weeks its amazing. Script was not even half baked. Terrible. That said the action scenes were still amazing, and the opening sequence was mind-blowing. Shame everything else sucked.

Danny Boyle was producer or executive producer so he'd want to protect his investment by speaking well of it. However, I doubt he'd ever write and direct anything so half thought through as this himself.

Can't argue with thatHowever, The writing on this film was on par for it's genre and just as good as 28 days so I can't quite understand the hostility towards it. Are you just a sequel hater? Some people are.
Marion Cotillard, Keira Knightley and Alizee are the most beautiful women on Earth. -

Days is a good movie with a deeper payoff but Weeks is my favorite, it is just more watchable and involving, has a faster pace and uncompromisingly dark twists, which a good horror movie should have. The cinematography is crisp. The only thing I didn't like was how it ended. It just sort of has nowhere left to go and tapers off. But it's a fun ride, plus no lame mansion.

I thought WEEKS was better than DAYS - first time I saw it . I do think the sequel is let down by the fact that the plot runs out after the reinfection happens . At least with DAYS the plot still develops in the final third even though it lacks internal logic
