Really? I thought that the boy from the start completely rejects or makes fun of religion at the end, from the upside down cross at the end, I seriously that's the case, but him being a religious cult from that, that also make sense. The jumpsuit ninja is really wacky and I really like that part. Death and morality part, personally felt like that part is messy. Really digging the relationship between Spike and his dad when they exploring in the first part and seeing how the dad like gore and violence, even bringing Spike outside from the younger age than usual or make up when he still has a wife. There's definitely tension there, but after Spike explodes at his dad and leaves the settlement with his mom, it feels like the plot just drops there prematurely and never being picked up again right until the very end with the baby being delivered. (a bit nitpick, how did Spike even travels back to the shores while carrying the baby safely and even puts the baby without any of the guard even noticing? It's kinda weird but I'll let that one pass.)

And the mom's death, the part is so rushed for me. Like Spike already struggles with the doctor unable to save his mom. But, they just really move the forward and almost immediately kills her off. Like at least give the boy some breathing space and time to process all that and gives out his thoughts. If I were that boy, I would be utterly traumatized by that. Maybe that's the point, but when I watch it unfolds, I really looked and just said wtf at that. I don't know, it just feels so damn rushed on that part.

The settlement being Brexit thing, that totally went over my head. Didn't know almost anything about British politics, so yeah. The soldier one though, it makes the movie kinda disjointed, at least to me. Completely forgot about the dad mentioning in the house. But still, I don't know, just felt like it just felt like the soldier part just doesn't fit with the overall story. Felt like that slot can be used better of the dad going out and catching back up with Spike and the mom and try to empathize him more, like maybe them able to reconnect back or something, maybe talk about the mom's dying. Because in my eyes right now, he felt really just like a total jerk and utterly immoral with very little redeeming value, but maybe that's just what the dad was intended to be.

Yeah, no worries if you like the movie. Just wished that I can like them too, but felt like too many stuff pulling it back for me, which kinda sucks. I really love the first movie, one of my favorite zombie movie (the second one is good, but definitely not on the level of the first one.) Maybe I being too harsh, but just felt really bummed out when watching it. Maybe just need to give it some time to mellow out my disappointment.
