A director delivering a sequel to his one celebrated movie made 10 years prior after having put out a string of disappointments in-between? If that doesn't reek of desperation then I don't know what does. Right from the very first trailer that released you could tell this was little more than an incredibly sad attempt from Ruben Fleischer to restore some goodwill with moviegoers following the lackluster quality of his previous few showings that would feature severely dumbed-down humor in lieu of good ideas. Wasn't quite expecting it to be this bad though. You put the two Zombielands side-by-side and it's genuinely insulting how greatly this cheapens the original by going for only the most braindead, lowest common denominator jokes completely devoid of anything approaching wit that feel very much the product of the Marvel blockbuster formula curse that's been plaguing the industry. So I'm sure this is all a big hit with the MCU generation. As for the rest of us looking for more of that clever comedy and surprising heart found in its predecessor? Skip this and pretend it never happened. Double Tap is moronic, cartoonish trash that doesn't even get the undead action right. At least there's the, honestly somewhat obligatory feeling, mid-credits Bill Murray cameo, I guess?
