Director Ruben Fleischer offers a surprisingly great laugh out loud sequel to a breakout sub-genre flick that was already saturated in 2009.
Packed with action and wit, the moment where stars Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg, Doppelgänger's Luke Wilson, and Thomas Middleditch's characters meet is worth viewing alone.
Emma Stone is perfectly dry with another sharp funny performance. Both Harrelson and Eisenberg are on amazing form. Joining the cast is the excellent gun toting Bigfoot driving Rosario Dawson but it's Zoey Deutch who steals the show with her character echoing a dizziness of Legally Blonde with hysterical efforts.Bill Murray turns up in the credits in a throwback to the first film.
The action setups and special effects are done well, with the music being the icing on the cake. It may not break new ground, but it doesn't need too as it's the enjoyable reunion that recaptures the spirit of the original which makes the film so edible.
Overall, likeable great zombie killing fun.
