l agree with some of the things you said. l tuhoght this was a good movie. Granted some of the things were cheesey and lame but i felt like it could have been better with a littler more action, and they could have come up with some of the ideas for the movie on their own.Ex: Executioner Majini (Guy with the axe) And the two new zombies the dog majini and the zombie majini (ones with the parasites in their mouth) and Whesker how he is now infected with the T-virus and how he has a parasite too
