Added DiffLines:

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: While plenty of fans view Becca as TheCutie, even they admit that she is a fairly disposable TagAlongKid who barely affects the plot. This galls a lot of people, who think she could have been a better-developed ActionSurvivor, especially given how her actress, Creator/DaniellePanabaker, had just earned acclaim for such a role in ''Film/FridayThe13th2009''.

* OneSceneWonder: The captured young soldier who was thrust into things with no idea about what is going on and decides to defy JustFollowingOrders is a huge highlight of the movie despite only having about three minutes of screen time.

Added DiffLines:

* HesJustHiding: While the ending acts as if [[spoiler:everyone besides Judy and David was massacred after being evacuated, is killed by Crazies, or gets nuked, some fans think that the military couldn't have fit that many people in the trucks where Judy finds dead evacuees and speculate that up to a few hundred people may have been evacuated for real and/or escaped to Cedar Rapids separately from David and Judy]].


Added DiffLines:

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: While many people think the film is RemadeAndImproved, others dislike how it cuts out the scenes showing bureaucracy making things worse and {{Reasonable Authority Figure}}s trying to contain the outbreak without unnecessary violence.

* WhatAnIdiot: [[spoiler:Scotty]] runs, without bothering to ID himself or ''listen'' to the soldiers' (rather reasonable and clear) commands, towards [[spoiler:his mother]] while screaming and flailing his arms. Predictably, he's shot. This is supposed to be a MoralEventHorizon for the soldiers, as well as showing how out of hand the situation is getting, and how everyone on both sides is blinded by fear.

Added DiffLines:

* RemadeAndImproved: This film is a rare example of a remake that was not only more successful than [[Film/TheCrazies1973 the original]], but also received better reviews from critics and audiences alike, who praised the cast, script, and direction, among other things.

* HarsherInHindsight: After the UsefulNotes/Covid19Pandemic, the extreme measures taken to enforce quarantine, and the extremes taken by the civilians to evade it, are a ''lot'' harsher.

Added DiffLines:

* StrawmanHasAPoint: Russell shooting the bodies of Peggy and Curt Hamill is a sign of infection but it's shown to be justified. The crazies have a habit of playing dead to lure victims into a false sense of security, so shooting their bodies to make sure they are dead is understandable.

** Actually, it's kind of supposed to show how out of hand the situation is getting, and how everyone regardless of sides is blinded by fear. Which it does.
