I DON'T GET WHY SO MANY HATE THIS ONE AND SAY DAYS IS BETTER!!! THIS ONE IS A LIL BETTER TO ME

I saw both in theaters. 28 days was great. 28 weeks was awesome. The conflict in Renners character as a sniper, just given orders to kill innocents after the infection broke out was grueling. I loved 28 weeks and have seen it dozens of times. What I like about 28 days is how threatening the infected were.

Agreed, Days was an 8 and Weeks a 9.

Great start to Days, but then it lurches into the guy-wakes-up-in-a-hospital-confused scene, straight from Day of the Triffids, and I always held that against it.

Yes, it got better from there, but I liked that they spent more money on Weeks and it showed. Bigger story.

Weeks has a terrible script and Zero menace. After the opening scene it feels like a TV Movie.

I do.

It's another movie that suffers from anti-sequel sentiments. One of the silliest and most broadly adhered to theories on movies is that the original is always the best. Any time a sequel manages to get a majority favoring it over the original people act like it's a once in a lifetime event, "OMG a sequel that's better than the original. Wow!". It happens all the bloody time.
