1- This is by far, in my opinion one of the best zombie movies out there. Although the acting is not so great at times, it has nowhere the terrible acting often found in Romero's movies. The opening zombie scene is horrific, mainly because it involves unsuspecting sleeping individuals and a zombie child. I also enjoyed the movie showing us suburbia taken over by running zombies, crashed cars, and gun firing frightened people. What makes this movie also pretty darn interesting is the fact the slow shambling zombie is not present in this movie. The zombies are fast, deadly, horrific and definitely realistic looking. I also genuinely like the main character and hope she can figure out a way to survive this zombie apocalypse. In my opinion, I believe that this movie is much better than the original, which is 
typically not the case.2- I really enjoyed this movie. Although many would argue with me and say that this is not a zombie movie. I would respectfully disagree because it involves people who are not themselves anymore, who are taken over by a virus and attack any person lacking the infection. While these "infected" do not eat the living, they attack by biting, scratching and basically tear the victims to shreds if they are able. I also enjoyed the fact that a victim changes almost immediately, keeping out the whole "someone is secretly remaining in the group of survivors and they are infected" idea. That plot is pretty tiresome. While that idea was in Dawn of the Dead, the change to the idea made it pretty interesting. I also enjoyed all the shots of an isolated London, completely devoid of life with the exception of a few survivors and the infected.
3- While this is a comedy, I thoroughly enjoy the film and find it pretty scary at times. I love that the opening sequence is repeated the next day with a lack of life and that the main character fails to recognize anything is wrong. This is hilarious to me, especially when he is walking in the convenience store and appears to slide in a pool of blood or something terrible (it is left up to the audience to decide. ick)I also enjoy the whole idea that the main characters attempt to "act" like zombies in order to avoid being detected, that was good stuff. While these zombies are slow and shambling, the movie is awesome regardless and think any zombie flick fans should check it out if they have not watched this film.
4- I really enjoyed this movie, and although I am not one for sequels, I thought this was a pretty good one. The opening scene is terrifying, as you watch a "safe" group of survivors get attacked by hordes of the infected. The rest of the movie takes place after that attack, the Americans have come set up shop and are attempting to establish a safe zone, and the lone survivor of the opening scene welcomes his two children back to the country. The rest of the movie is full of action, the infected and soldiers quickly losing control. I enjoyed this movie because the acting is terrific, Robert Carlyle (Trainspotting, The Full Monty) is great and so is the actress who plays his wife, Catherine McCormack (Braveheart). I also really like the main American soldiers as well. A great movie, especially for a sequel!
5- Although I do believe that this movie is not that great in several ways, I still enjoy this movie. The acting is lacking, but the zombies are certainly scary. I also found the manner in which these people were infected quite interesting as well. (The initial office workers, not the bitten people, that is typical) Of course the building killing off the infected was interesting to watch, especially the room filling with water, and of course who can forget seeing that zombie wake up in the room filled with water..creepy. I enjoyed this movie when I first saw it in theaters and do not mind watching it every once in a while. Compared to the real stinkers out there (ie terribly acted zombie flicks--Diary of the Dead, Zombie Strippers, Day of the Dead the remake) this one is not too shabby.
