10 Movies That Never Got Better Than Their Opening Moments

10. 28 Weeks Later

The zombie genre has become so saturated over the years it has become difficult for any one movie to truly stand out from the rest. Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later became popular back in 2002, though the sequel five years later fell more into obscurity.

Disappointing, though not necessarily surprising. As the acclaimed director stepped away from the franchise, there was always going to be the risk of the shoes being just too big for Juan Carlos Frasnadillo to step into. Add to that a completely new cast of characters, and 28 Weeks Later fell short.

It didn't seem that would be the case at first, as the opening scenes depicted the sheer adrenaline-fueled rush of Don's escape from the zombies. The pulsating chase showed just how terrifying these attacks were, and what they could drive someone to do.

As a new character, audiences didn't know Don, but in just the opening minutes the movie offered just about everything that was needed to be known. The rest of the film did suffer for having no returning characters, but you wouldn't know it from just this scene.
