espically making some of the deserted landmark visuals more personal (like a deserted Time Square or something), but I am sure that there will be a number of American rip-offs and that Resident Evil 2 will borrow the 60 mph zombie concept.

Your missing the whole point. The film is set it in Britain, and the deserted landmarks are of Britain, so the film is personal to British people as intended.

I love how it kept the onscreen zombie action to a minimum so when the zombies were actually on screen you were really interested.

This form of horror movie making was also used in the original Alien film. Ridley scott had the alien appearing in sequences from as little as 1/4 second to 2 seconds throughout the film. The alien appeared for no more than a minute total. Very effective. It allows the mind to concentrate on what ISN'T there, so when it pops on screen, BAM!!!

Liked it. Possibly overrated (I know someone who saw it at a press screening before its release and was raving about it for a week afterward), but still quite good. I would have preferred that it had been shot on film, but (unlike most "digital" features), the production values are high and the sets don't exactly demand detailed images.
