Boyle and Garland have, in their dotage, outdone themselves. The first film was good, the second almost entirely forgettable, but this third act, wow, fucking fantastic. “28 Swinging Cocks”, “28 Inch Cock” or "28 Dicks Later", any could have been apt titles, but that’s too easy. This is the movie in which the anatomy is riotous, the intellect unashamed, the heart unexpectedly exposed.

I have an unpopular take. I liked the first, loved the second, and thought this was a trainwreck. The marketing was misleading. The movie was tonally all over the place. Jodie Comer was used as a prop. I thought the new zombie archetypes were cringey, e.g. "We call these ones the Alphas." (Are they developing a video game?) The editing of the action scenes was sloppy - an Alpha is sprinting at you, but you have time to stop and talk about who's going to shoot the arrow? I don't want semi-sentient zombies with nicknames, I don't want anyone holding hands with mommy zombies.

I may give it another watch at some point, but on first watch I was confused and disappointed.
