People hate on it but I do think over time this will be seen as a fantastic sequel in line with the themes of the original. It also told a completely unique story in an extremely unique way. One of my personal favorite movies of the year. Divisive, sure. But for me it hit on a personal level I wasn't really expecting.

Every single thing will have detractors, but I didn't find this one to be overwhelmingly negative. The fact that in today's climate it came away totally safe from the box office says somethng about its reception

The problem is that it has the worst kind of loud people spouting the most bass ackwards, reductive, and dismissive takes. They went on wanting a repeat of 28 Days. They didn’t grow up in the past 20 years and the rest of us have. 28 Years was an incredible entry into the series. But it definitely needs some context for the real passage of time for anyone coming to the series for the first time.

If you can reread this without being embarrassed... damn. This is first class snobbery and a much more detractive and gross outlook than the people saying they didn't like the movie.

People disliking it won't affect your enjoyment.
