I do admit the films have their flaws but I don't let it take away from my enjoyment every time I watch.

As far as I am concerned, however well you masked the story of Resident evil, it is just another Max Payne degree of boredom, you want something realistic? Zombie attack with a twist? Watch Return of the Living Dead, or Dawn of The Dead, or... Shaun of the Dead if you like humor with gore. Heck, even that one australian flick
with zombie sheep was much better.

Omnidevil

I'll be honest when I say most movies just don't get the smooth transition from game to platform, most games are storylines that are bland.

Omnidevil

Resident Evil type: Always a large hidden company doing something to the world, some guy rushed to save the world... stereotypical no?

Omnidevil

Did you even watch the flick? Batman was playing his emo self and he had to choose between a normal life while handing all the chaos control to Harvey Dent (later 2face). Being sheep is normal, we humans are all persons of similiar opinions, it is just like morals, you can dress up the wolf, it is still a wolf.

Omnidevil

don't want to say I hate resident evil, but fact is, strip away the action, and Resident evil just has no lovable characters, not like Batman, or even Tony Stark in Ironman who struggles to come to terms with his ego, and yet in a way, he is lovable.

Omnidevil

Tell me, how exactly is a memory-less kill all princess created by some biochemical company supposed to be lovable,

Omnidevil

It is just... unappealing, there is nothing to capture the imagination, but rather, just a dull hum drum of repeated oiling excess from Hollywood's graphic giants.

Will the first movie was the best. The 2nd one was okay. The 3nd sucked.

The laser corridor scene from the first movie is one I can come up with straightaway. The camera work there does not make it feel exciting and it also does a bad job of having tense close shots of characters because it just feels like they just threw a confused and amateur camera man into the scene with no direction and the camera and went "Go! Film!" so we're just left waiting for the next scene and are not particularly emotionally invested or captivated by what's going on. The scripting is awful and none of the lines feel "wow!" or "real", the acting is shoddy, just look at Spence when he's trying to pretend that he wants the other guy to do a fast job in saving them. Awful, awful.

That's all I can really think of off the top of my head as I only saw the first and second movie once. Thank God.

deerstalker

Let alone the fact that it defies all logic throughout the whole scene. The commander says "Get down!" yet we have one woman just standing there going O_O at a laser before it takes her head off. Now THAT is absolutely ridiculous, as shocked as I may be by the sudden change of situation, there is not a chance in hell I'd be so shocked that I'd just go O_O at an incoming laser beam.

The movie wasn't made for gamers at all. It was made for everyone. If it was made for gamers then movie would have failed spectacularly both on a financial level and on a critical level. Your average person wouldn't want to waste $6+ in watching 2 hours of something only a gamer could enjoy

deerstalker

I know no respectable gamer or fan of the series who liked it as it was an atrocious adaption. I'm all for different takes on different things but there was nothing redeeming about the end product.

Deerstalker

Firstly, they don't follow the games. Fair enough, no game movie does follow the game's storyline (that's another rant in itself)

deerstalker

but the storyline in the movies felt like the direct equivalent to urinating on everything that made the games good and adding elements which transcended past good cheesy fun to ludicrous components.

deerstalker

Nemesis, for example, did they really need to add a hand to hand fight? Did they even play the game? You could barely get close to Nemesis without the stinging fear of death yet in this movie, Alice just strolls on up to him and beats the living hell out of him. The almighty Nemesis who stalked Jill around for the entire of Resident Evil 3 destroying pretty much everything he saw, living through the most impossible things and here's Alice beating him easily in a fist-fight. Absolutely. Stupid.

deerstalker

Lastly, even as a movie it's an awful, awful, AWFUL piece of film. The scripting is uninspired and painful, the music is atrocious but bearable as that seems to be the generic rule for all horror films now (let's throw some heavy metal in there, woo!), the acting is... just "oh dear God" worthy and the editing and camera-work is amateurish. It's a really terrible piece of film-work.

I view them as fun movies. The plot, and story are not the best in the world, but the action scenes, acting, and just overall fun of the movie are great. The resident evil movies are also very rewatchable, they don't really get boring, and you can go back and watching over and over. I currently have the trilogy on blu-ray.

Social-Pariah

all of the sequals are terrible, poor acting, lacking plot, somewhat monotonous zombie fests simply for the sake of it. Also certain additional factors, such as telepathy and the irrating stupidity of most characters don't help.

omnidevil

I can't say the same for the story though, there might as well be none, it is all Alice walking about killing zombies.
You want a good story? Take a look at Batman, there is a story.

omnidevil

I rate her second to none in all her films
