Zombieland: Double Tap

Made, released, and set ten years after the original film, Zombieland: Double Tap is a sequel that's just as funny and self aware as the first movie. Being together for ten years as they survive the zombie apocalypse, the characters from the 2009 film have now seen themselves as a family even when they face their own personal problems. Woody Harrelson's Tallahassee is still the gun toting badass, Jesse Eisenberg's Columbus continues his rules of survival while also identifying the many types of zombies, Emma Stone's Wichita is still distrustful and ready to run away when Columbus proposes, and Abigail Breslin's Little Rock has grown up and wants more out of life. Compared to the first film, Double Tap gives us a lot more people with their own specialties and forms of survival. Since the director and writers from the first film have also come back this helps in expanding the world that they set ups earlier. Sure not all of the jokes land, especially ones that tend to drag on a while, but the ones that do really make it worthwhile. The new characters and their actors do a fantastic job, especially with Rosario Dawson's Nevada, that you wouldn't mind seeing them in their own spinoffs. While Zoey Deutch's Madison is an interesting addition as a dumb blonde with lucky moments, the persona she gives and a moment in the middle of the film goes a bit over the top. The new ways they kill the zombies, including at one point using a monster truck, is one of the most innovative the genre has done. Zombieland: Double Tap is a worthy sequel that may not hit notes as big as the first, but is still strong especially with such a hilarious post credit scene you never would have expected. Over all: 100%
