	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"A geek show designed to win a weekend or two at the box office and then fade from memory (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Janet Maslin The New York Times	"Ms. Weaver makes an impressive linchpin for this series, even if she can't make it palatable for the faint of heart."	NEG
United States	Keith Phipps AV Club	"[It] plays like a collection of intriguing, half-formed ideas joined to the incongruous imagination of French fabulist Jean-Pierre Jeunet"	NEG

United States	Ed Gonzalez Slant	"[It] is nowhere near as sophisticated and profound as Romero’s classic [Day of the Dead], but it’s still every bit as fun."	NEU
United States	Desson Thomson The Washington Post	"It satisfactorily recycles the great surprises that made the first movie so powerful."	POS
