I truly don't understand all of the sour reviews for this movie.
Is it better than the original? No. But how many sequels are?
Is it enjoyable and entertaining? Hell yes!
This movie isn't trying to take itself seriously (how can it - it's Zombieland?) You can tell the cast was having fun, and the producers had a good time making it. It's not trying to be Citizen Kane or win any Oscars, it's just a fun follow-up to a great comedy horror.
I would compare this to Lethal Weapon 2 vs. the original Lethal Weapon - some of the jokes are repeated, it's flawed compared to the first, but it stands solidly on it's own, with the characters continuing their wacky and dangerous adventures together.
There's a lot to like in this film, and I enjoyed getting to see more survivors of the zombie apocalypse and how they handle staying alive.
If you enjoyed the first film, you will like the second - I thought it was a solid effort, I was entertained throughout, laughing and smiling the entire movie.
