Dead Rising: Endgame

This movie was as good as the first part WatchTower. Instead of being 2 hours like the first one this movie is just an hour and a half. They cut off a lot of the fluff boring part from the first one. The zombie kills in this one I believe is way better than the first movie. However, there's not enough zombies in the film but more soldiers and people than anything else. This movie takes itself a little bit more serious than the first one too. They did leave this movie ending opened for another sequel if they wanted to. I'm surprised they haven't already but it's been 4 years already since this movie came out.

The original Dead Rising film wasn't too bad, a better than average zombie flick. This sequel is a cheap, poorly scripted, made for late night horror channel Piece of garbage. Awful pacing with conspiracy side plot meetings on waterfronts and rooftops that add little to nothing, virtual no score to add to scenes of tension or dramatic reveal. A couple of action sequences save this from being a 1, before the abrupt ending with no conclusion. Serious waste of 90 minutes

On occasions, you cannot beat sitting back and watching a society of the living dead getting massacred in graphic and bloody ways. Based on a video game, this sequel to 2015's 'Dead Rising: Watchtower', begins with a gaggle of earnestly perfect-looking females assuring hero, square-jawed Chase Carter (played by square-jawed Jesse Metcalfe) that whatever happened in the previous film, he's still a great guy. They are the core of a group of journalists who have stumbled upon a government secret, with a briefly seen Billy Zane popping up as the evil scientist Rand. After an impressive pre-credits sequence, the pace slackens considerably. The direction, by Pat Williams, is first rate for a modestly budgeted adventure such as this, and ensures that, even during the extended periods when nothing of interest is happening, at least it looks good. But where are the zombies, you might be asking? It takes a good while for them to appear, but when they do, the cinematography does them proud, although for such a project as this, the various impressive action sequences are light on gore - although what there is looks great. I think the jokeless, daytime-soap earnestness that permeates every scene is my main issue with this. The actors are fine, but their characters have no real spark about them, nothing for the audience to latch onto or care about. Apart from this issue, I enjoyed 'Endgame'. It could perhaps be described as an espionage zombie story, with as much attention paid to political villainy as there is to skull-like living cadavers having their brains splashed across the concrete.

This is the sequel to "Dead Rising: Watchtower." You are given a very quick viewing of the first film during the credit run and are suddenly thrust into East Mission Zone (2 years later) where Chase Carter (Jesse Metcalfe) and friends are investigating what the military is doing there. It turns out General Lyons (Dennis Haysbert) and the evil pharmaceutical corporation are up to no good with Project Afterlife. Chase and company discovers the particulars of the project and must return to the mission to hack a computer. In doing so they must battle fast moving Z's, chemists, doctors, and the military. There is a scene where after they lose their weapons, they must manufacture their own. The military is after Chase with "extreme prejudice." There is no character introduction and they all seemed like strangers. At one point it appears the video game on which the first film was based was being played on a TV. The movie has pauses (for commercials?) as if this was made for TV. The production seemed to be going through the motions as if they were in a hurry to get on with the third film as it leaves some loose ends. Should have been better. Soft 3 stars. Guide: F-word. No sex. Brief zombie nudity near end.

This movie was Amazing! The directors Learned from their 1st movie, and made it even better by taking all the best of the potential of Dead Rising and put it into this film! Whoever says this movie is crap Does Not Know What They Are Saying, because this is hands-down one of the Best Zombie movies on the list! It has awesome action scenes, a great build-up, sensible enough plot, and they don't make the ending a long montage about what happened! Definitely worth a watch if you want a zombie-action movie. I don't think the Very ending should have happened that way precisely, but it makes sense and I don't think it deserves any loss in score. Excellent job here, and worth the Shelf even if you don't watch the prelude movie! I'd rate this a 9.5 but I'll put 10 because it was just This great. Sure, every movie has some problems. This movie had an unlikely coincidence in the tunnels, the lady-ceo was Crazy-crazy which is (not) unrealistic, Dennis Haysbert could have had a larger role (but he is a General, not a Footsoldier), and the opening was a bit too coincidental; But That's About It. This movie has an Amazing action sequence at the end, lots of good cinematography, a quality story that ties in Watchtower (which is objectively Worse than this film in every way, so anyone saying it is better doesn't know what they are talking about), and a cool Dead Rising Cameo also! Jesse Metcalfe Nailed this role, and so did Keegan Tracey! This film is cool, makes sense, and the plot unfolds well and I have No problems with it overall. People who want to cry because it isn't a billion dollar super-action Marvel film are the haters on this film, because this film was Awesome. It also shows the direction of Dead Rising 3 And 4, with Direct References to DR1+2, so unless they played All these games then they don't know what they are saying about "not a good Dead Rising film," Which It Is. 100% worth a watch, and I'm adding it to my shelf. If I watch it 2 or 3 more times it Might go down to a 9, but that is the Minimum this film Deserves. The game Dead Rising 1 is still well worth a play before (or after) this. Case West is also good except the last boss fight which the regular Dead Rising 2 did Way better if you get the full game ending. Dead Rising 1 and 2 are the "canon" preludes to both these movies while Case West is a spin-off but still a better game.

The first movie i liked a lot. It really reminded me of the game-series, it had humor and campy zombie slaughter, but could have had more action. This sequel was a little less good. In short, the biggest issue of this sequel is that they tried to hard to create a more serious story and movie. At a few points the movie feels dull and too long, which is ironic since the first one was two hours. What i liked: more action - really awesome zombie kills and fights (the escalator scene :) ) What i didn't liked: no humour - too serious and some dull parts - less zombie scenes and too much people vs people. overall i think i won't buy this one on bluray, maybe if it's real cheap. But is was still fun to watch for one time.

If you enjoyed the first one, I think you will enjoy this one as well. It's about the same quality etc. I didn't personally jump or get scared, but few movies do that to me anyhow.

DEAD RISING: ENDGAME is the sequel to WATCHTOWER, a middling zombie flick and video game adaptation that starred Jesse Metcalfe. This one's far worse, a make-it-up-as-they-go-along kind of film that offers bad direction, boring scripting and routine action. Metcalfe returns and is on autopilot throughout, joined by Billy Zane in a small role at one point, and Zane should know better. As for gore and zombie action, you can pretty much forget it as it's all inherently disappointing.
