Fresh and Exciting

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Ι have seen tons of Zombie flicks, big budget, low budget, no budget at all etc."To Kako 2" is by far one of the most annoying movies of the genre. I understand that the second movie moved fast forward to a straight up comedy (the first one had balance and it was really really entertaining) but instead of being funny, its just plain annoying. As for the plot is a total mess. The whole go to past and come back to the present is done in a way to get to your nerves. Bottom line the whole script is like a cut and paste of various ideas thrown around and not single one of them is presented like it should. Too bad that the people responsible for the good first movie (Kako) managed to killed their own creation with the second one. The only good thing in this movie is only the gore factor. But gore cant save a z-film if the story who keeps it interesting belongs to the bottom of the toilet.Too bad that one of the most annoying z-movies ever made comes from Greece.I wonder how the Greek Cinema Centre (belongs to the state) and Audiovisual (major distributor company in Greece) decided to finance this total mess.

Firstly i'm sorry for my poor English, i'm Greek and i'll try my best to be understood..well, i am an average movie fan and i rarely watch Greek movies.. nevertheless i saw this movie about an hour ago and i want to see it again and again.. it isn't, of course, the kind of movie that will be remembered as brilliant or even as clever (i'm referring to the plot) but it's a fun movie.. and i mean FUN, like "big troubles in little china" or "pineapple express".. cool dialogs (i don't know how they look in English subs), cool action and gore scenes, weird & funny heroes, almost no plot at all. i like the special effects too... really.. they look like special effects from 90's movies and that's part of the fun too. the director does a good job focusing on the fun side of killing zombies and that means no drama, no fear for the heroes' lives, no atmospheric scenes.in comparison with the rest Greek movies, which mostly are unfunny comedies or romances or the kind of movies that critics love but they are impossible to be understood by the average viewer, TO KAKO STIN EPOHI TON IROON is far more watchable.. personally my favorite Greek movie of the decade.

First of all CONGRATULATIONS for the fact that when they were in Ancient Greece the spoke ANCIENT Greek! How am i supposed to follow a film when Alexander the Great instead of speaking Ancient Greek speaks English? This movie contains many laughs, many laughs with catchy phrases in Ancient Greek, or in Modern Greek and a lot of splatter laughs. So this is what this movie is about, SPLATTER COMEDY! You are not supposed to be frightened. The direction is awesome, fast camera, zoom-in and zoom-out many times makes your eyes stuck into the screen. The visual effects are very real, Ancient Athens looked very real and i loved seeing the Parthenon on the background. The plot was a bit shallow but who cares? This movie is a splatter comedy/parody and it's a fantastic one. From the fight scenes in Ancient Greece where a fighter licked the sword to the point where Kleanthis smashed a head with his hand. Absolute must-see for a marvelous comedy with tons of blood and many zombies!!! p.s. Billy Zane thanks for speaking Ancient Greek, for a real Greek you should be proud! p.s. 2 No actor (including Zane) and no zombie (i also was a volunteer zombie) took ANY money for this film!

This sequel of the 2005 movie has the same purpose as the first one:It's there to entertain,it's not a horror film it's a zombie parody, a Greek everyday parody, an ancient Greek parody.When I saw this, everyone was laughing in the theater.It's a FUN movie,gore is everywhere in a ridicule way,heads are popping in the screen all the time, the lines are simple but quite entertaining with pop culture references flying all the way,we see zombies in mantles and tunics ,the scenario is 100% predictable but really,who cares?-Don't see it if you want to feel horror emotions-Don't see it if you want to see any depth in scenario /character development.-Don't see it if you want to see any Hollywood-like effects.-Don't see it if you want to see astonishing actors and actBut I highly recommend it to any (Greek) that wants to have 88 really awesome minutes.The visual effects are good for Greek standards ,bit comic like deaths,but you can see the increase in budget to the first movieArgyris Thanasoulas (Argyris) and Antreas Kontopoulos ( Lt.Vakyrtis) are the only notable actors that play above average, the rest (big crew) is mediocre at best.The story begins on the end of the First ''Kako'' movie.The survivors meet up with a group of other barricaded survivors and they not only need to take care of the zombies but other random Greek that have taken advantage of the chaos and shoot random moving targets (zombie or not). In the meantime we take small flashbacks into ancient Greece where the zombie apocalypse has happened as well and we learned about how they faced them.In my opinion this is the way Greek cinema should move on. We will never have the CGI or the scenario background or the huge budgets to go face to face with international movies,so we rather parody them.As for foreign people ,you might get a DVD release of this sooner or later in the US,I'd only suggest you if you really want to see every zombie movie out there since the Greek jokes and culture references might not touch you.
