Birdemic 2: The Resurrection

First thing's first, the worst thing about this movie is that it's actually better than the first Birdemic. Yes, and I feel ashamed. Enough with the positivity; there's a 4 minute scene of someone walking awkwardly, suddenly it starts raining blood and birds spawn from a lake, with no apparent reason, yeah and zombies, fucking Natalie kicking and punching in weird directions and Bill looking like a douche. Still, I had a great time 'watching' this with frederic_g54 who is btw goddamn cool.

Surprisingly not as bad as the 1st one, but that's like saying the shit you took today is better than the shit you took yesterday; With that mental image now in mind, it's actually not short of a few laughs, from awkward air punches and badly timed karate kicks to noticeable boom mics and, oooh yes, mothafuckin' zombies. Making fun of this with fellow crittie and shitty movies aficionado begoniabol proved to be a real hoot. I've been officially converted, thanks nigga!

Trip report: OK serious, the first scene during the credits is four a half minutes of a guy walking. His name is Bill. He claims to be a unviable commercial Hollywood director on the comeback trail! Why are they still clapping? WE NEED AMBULANCE NOW! Giant jumbo jellyfish? Oh wow this museum/caveman scene. Starbright! Get a hanger! Haha all of a sudden they have blasters, that explains the lack of ammo. Who gets buried in a baseball shirt? a greener lifestyle. The spare tire. The End.

Pleasingly, this film is just as bad as the first one. This is a testament to the director who stuck steadfastly to his directorial vision, ensuring that his unique style of allowing scenes to go on too long, having scenes of long panning shots that go nowhere, actors that are trying hard not to be nervous but come over as jittery and CGI that is just laid over the top without any thought of integrating it into the scene, remain. It succeeds because of its sincerity.

Horrible, and not in a fun way like the original. It's not funny when you try to suck.

It tries to be postmodernly self-aware and poke fun at itself while repeating the same exact plot. With the same impossibly awful acting, directing, script, editing, sound mixing, and "special" effects. This is a Very Bad Idea. On the plus side, there are giant jumbo jellyfish. And the ending has a certain meta charm. But where the first movie at least felt unique in its craptitude, the sequel just feels like a self-conscious effort to repeat the first movie. Splat.
