Let me start off by saying I'm not a major fan of American action flicks or comic book movies. Although, I love Hong Kong action, sci-fi horror and zombie flicks. I'm an older guy so I remember seeing the original DAWN OF THE DEAD in 1978. It's still the greatest horror movie ever made. But, don't compare this with other zombie flicks. IT'S A COMIC BOOK MOVIE AND IT'S BASED ON THE GAME. I've also played most of the RESIDENT EVIL games and I have to say, this is the HOTTEST VIDEO GAME MOVIE FRANCHISE going. Some of the scenes are straight out of the games. The first RESIDENT EVIL flick was great, but this one only enhances the first film.
