I'll agree with the fact that parts 4 and 5 are pretty much write-offs, but aside from the original, part 3 was probably the best. Hot zombie girl and "spine man" zombie FTW!!! Part 2 is what I would consider "ok". It isn't bad by any means, but compared to the superior story of part 1 and the superior special effects and story of part 3 it sort of falls flat.

The best analogy I can give is home alone vs home alone part 2. ROTLD and ROTLD 2 are almost identical movies. (Not to the extent of the home alone franchises of course). I suppose you can hold part 2 in high esteem conisdering it's so similar to part 1, but shouldn't you really condem it for not adding much to the formula?
