An improvement perhaps over solid but nothing-special original, yet the film still suffers from the headless-chicken syndrome of its predecessor: the director wanting to have his cake and eat it too. In other words, he wanted real chills AND laughs.
Well, you effing can't have both, knucklehead. You either do a comedy with a horror plot or you do a proper horror film with the occasional gag here and there (where appropriate).
As a result, the movie delivers neither laughs nor scares, but manages to remain somewhat interesting due to the slick production and the colourful plot.
Besides, what's so funny about invalids having their heads smashed and little children being run over by a tank? Wirkola needs to see a shrink; the same one that treats other filmic psychopaths such as Rob Zombie.
Speaking of which, the whole Zombie Squad shtick is painfully embarrassing. And why the hell do the Russian zombies lose to the Nazi zombies? Did this director even have History at school?
