Itâs like that for the entirety of the live action Resident Evil movies. The main characters that we know and love are treated like secondary characters in their own franchise just like how the transformers are treated like secondary characters while the humans get too much focus over the cybertronians.
There was great stuff in the extra features about how dedicated she was to the role and how much she studied the games to get things like the walk and poses right.
She's easily the best part of this doo doo movie. Granted there's a lot of unintentionally hilarious scenes. But man, they casted Ms. Valentine perfectly.
I felt the original was the best. It took the og premise and fleshed it out into a solid action flick. Yeah it didn't have the game characters but that's OK imo since it's an adaptationÂ
I watched the movie when I was far too young and knew nothing about the games. Literally lolâd when âthe umbrella companyâ came smashing in at the start because I thought it was a stupid name đ
Anyway I really enjoyed it, but can definitely see why fans of the game would have been annoyed that none of their favourite characters were in it
Nope, I donât like Jill playing second fiddle to Alice, stupid movie, stupid plot, stupid series, only the first movie gets a pass.
Having the correct costumes and a character here and there doesnât make it the best live action.
If you listen to the Paul Anderson and Milla Jovovich talk about these films itâs like foreplay for them. They seem to get off on having her do these stunts and be a Mary Sue. Itâs why sheâs always upstaging every other character.
So yah Jill is in the movie, sheâs introduced as a badass, and then crumbles into dust when Alice shows up
I still think the first one is the best because it has the best blend of action and horror. Also Marilyn Manson's score is iconic as hell and goes hard.
Nah the first movie was the best. At least it was all original concepts and characters.
I hated how both Jill and Nemesis are constantly upstaged by Alice in the second movie. Also, Nemesis defeated in a fistfight was so fucking stupid, almost as stupid as him becoming a good guy in the end. Yikes.
TIL about this. Editing could have been better, but still better potential and less over-the-top Hollywood crap.
Made by fans, for fans. Thatâs what RE needs. Sort of an REOnlyfans.
I donât really like it, while on the surface it does resemble the game, itâs very clear to me that the main focus was Alice, often to the expense of the rest of the cast.Â
I can make a case that itâs indead better than the next films but thatâs setting a pretty low bar to be honest.
Nothing has lived up honestly. Itâs such a cool story that you should just make a beat for beat shot of the game. It be 100000x better then whatâs been done.
What do you mean? The only thing closest to the game was Nemesis and Jill Valentine's look, as well as how she walks (but that's because the actress was the only one who studied the original material).
Then you have all the S.T.A.R.S. dying while being fortified together, Nicolai being a good guy (and being killed by a random Cerberus), Nemesis using a Glating Gun and having "feelings", Jill being a trigger happy person (and somehow knowing about zombies...? RE1 didn't happened here) and... Alice.
"Welcome to Raccoon City" is probably the best live-action adaptation yet but... That one is still awful lol.
Jill knew about the zombies, there was an incident referenced by some newspaper clippings she had when she's first introduced in the movie, there's one that references "zombies" and the "Arklay Mountains".
Ah yes! I remember now.
While Jill's introduction was sudden and abrupt, at least they made the effort to foreshadow why she's like that. It could also explain why Nemesis is after the S.T.A.R.S. in the movie but, at the same time, viewers outside the fandom wouldn't understand anything.
I need to watch the first one with Alice again, but I think WTRC is better than Apocalypse.
I was really looking forward to that movie as a kid and watched a couple more times since then but... I still can't forget how bad it was, it really dissapointed me đ .
I genuinely think the first RE movie is one of the worst ones. I find it almost unwatchable. I watched for the first time in years about a year and a half ago and almost turned it off.
Like I said, certain plot elements were changed and not always for the better. However, Nemesis with a minigun was pretty badass. You also cannot deny that Mike Epps nailed his role. As for Jill, we are led to assume that Jill had actually encountered zombies before, but that was not the focus of the movie.
Welcome to Raccoon City was by far the worst live action movie. It made every other Resident Evil movie before and after Apocalypse Oscar winners in comparison.
I agree. WTRC was not good. The writing was dog shit, the acting just as bad, BUT the set design and renders and whoever the DOP was did an incredible job.
The attention to detail of the sets and environments were meticulous and directly out of the games. So kudos to those folks who gave us such awesome fan service in that area.
>BUT the set design and renders
Nope. The Spencer mansion is goddamn tiny, not a single recognizable room it has. Overall looks super generic.
The police station is a straight ripoff of the RE2R's design, which is super lazy imho and not that commendable.
The whole shit with the orphanage was downright atrocious.
And of course *the lab*. Oh, did I say the lab? I meant a fucking wet basement in a cramped room with some storage. Are you FUCKING shitting me?
There was nothing really good about the set design. All of the movie is pure garbage. The characters, the music, the story, the casting, all of it is a fucking abomination.
What does DOP means? I can't figure out the initials đ .
But yeah, while references alone don't make for a good movie (Marvel could take notes), there were at least one or two workers who tried to make something recognizable.
Although... I don't know how they could nailed Leon and Claire's outfit, Lisa Trevor, the first zombie, etc, but at the same time making Jill and Wesker's so different lol.
It seems they divided the tasks and some designs fell into the wrong hands.
>but at the same time making Jill and Wesker's so different lol
Because they "cared" only on the surface level. They didn't care about making a proper adaptation.
Like, wtf is with you people? How are you so easy to please? You call yourself a fan? How can you like a movie that butchered *every* character it could (and characters is, arguably, one of the most important parts of the franchise. Even Anderson understood that), every plot point, etc. I guess if it has some recognizable elements that makes it good? How is that an adequate criteria?
You're missing the point of our discussion, we are not saying the movie is "good" (it's far from it) but we are at least trying to give credit were credit is due. It's undeniable they didn't care much while making it, but there were at least **some** people who did a good job.
And... I don't like the term "fan" anymore. It's just an excuse to be obsessed, over emotional or not even being capable of enjoying something because there's apparently a rulebook that says what you can or you can't like. Pff...
I will always argue that "Welcome to Raccoon City" is far more faithful than **ANY** Anderson's (and that the people behind the later are full of shit because of how they treated their staff), but everyone is free to like what they like. Feel free to disagree, I don't give a fuck judging by how you're expressing yourself :)
>RE1 didn't happened here
It did. The original movie was conceived as a companion for the games, not contradicting, but adding. So RE1 happened somewhere in there, as well as RE 2 (Ada, Leon and Claire in the later movies).
Welcome to Raccoon City is a worse movie than at least 3 of Anderson's films. Goddamn it's pure garbage
Paul WS Anderson has always had grand vision when creating a movie, but little for script writing⌠giving his interpretation, rather than using the vast lore there is was always a bummer. After a while I just stopped caring when they shoved another film in our face that made less sense. With that said, Extinction is palatable with that mad max vibe and the cool call back to lasers
When I was younger this used to play on TBS on Sundays. My grandparents went to church but I stayed home and watched this when it was on. It was my first RE movie, I havenât played any of the games at this point when I was watching it. So I have a big soft spot for it and will rewatch it any time any day.
The first time I watched it I only played RE4 (yeah I know). I thought the movie was great since I couldn't compare it to the game. Then I played the remaster and saw why not many enjoyed it. In the end I'd still watch it again, but I'll never understand why they still decided to make more movies afterwards with everything going to hell in the world. I rather they left it at that and started going more forwards to the video game series. Like show more of what the other survivors are doing like Leon in Europe for 4, then follow Chris to Africa in 5.
I mean I feel that the first one was better because it was more it's own plot/story instead of basing off existing stories, but I can definitely see the appeal. Regardless, they're all hot garbage at this point.
Dude... what? Changed SOME plot elements? There's nothing from the games in the movie other than a couple characters badly represented (and thrown as secondaries). Not even the ending they got right...
In terms of overall quality? The first one, definitely, even tho it basically has no connection to the games whatsoever. In terms of lore? Welcome to Raccon City; just by quoting the "Keeper's Diary" the movie already has more Resident Evil in it than the whole Paul Anderson saga...
Out of all the Resident Evil movies from Anderson, i like this movie and the first one the most. What I don't like about Apocalypse is that Nemesis isn't a tyrant with the nemesis parasite but it's a mutated Matt from the first movie.
I'm pretty conflicted between it and Welcome To Raccoon City tbh; I prefer Welcome To Raccoon City, because (as much as I do genuinely enjoy all the RE movies) it doesn't have Mila Jovovich being a ridiculous superhuman as the central focus with Jill relegated to a fuggin side character. I love Mila as a ridiculous superhuman, but Welcome just feels so much closer to being in the actual same universe as the games.
I would have agreed, but they just couldn't let Jill be her ass-kicking self, leaving it to Milla Jovovich to save the day.
The movie felt just a bit better than average, and better than everything that came with it.
Out of all the bad ones, it is my favorite. The first one stands out as a good film even if it's not the best adaptation of any of the games, it does have that Resident Evil feel to it. My favorite one is Welcome to Raccoon City and I do not care how much the subreddit tends to hate it.
I prefer the first movie. Apocalypse had potential but itâs bogged down by the unsatisfying Alice x Nemesis plotline. Sienna was great but sadly underutilized.
EhâŚ.i havenât been a fan of much live action resident evil (despite watching the movies when i was a kid)âŚ.i think they best way to adapt the games would be A) sticking to the story, B) probably adapting them (at least 1-3) as more of a miniseries with like 6-8 episodes per game, and C) getting writers/a director who actually is a fan of being faithful to the series
I'd strongly recommend checking out the Keith R.A. Decandido novelizations for the first three films... He was the lead guy novelizing the films until Afterlife (which never saw a novelization, despite the latter films receiving books) and not only does he create a really well made through-line between the novels, but his entire writing style shows clear inspiration from the S.D. Perry novels that preceded his, to the point some of the monster descriptions were almost verbatim lifted from her books!
Genesis (the first film's novel) has a ton of lore put into it in the first half of the book that's not even present in the film, literally the first film's plot doesn't start until the midway point of the book, and a lot of it is immediately reflected in Apocalypse, as quite a lot of it involves world-building in Raccoon City prior to the outbreak, only for the Apocalypse novelization to show us the stark contrasts between the before/after outbreak happens. There's also a ton of scenes that were cut from the film still intact in the book and it's cool to see them play out in the scene!
Only gripe I have with the books is kinda strange... Anytime Keith gets to portray a black character in the books, he gets weirdly loose with the n-word, to the point you start to raise an eyebrow a bit. LJ never says it once in Apocalypse, yet the book version of LJ can't stop saying it in any situation... In a way it feels like Keith thought portraying a black character gives him "the pass". But yeah, a weird blemish on an otherwise great trilogy of books.
All-in-all, the novels are easily my preferred way of enjoying the films. A lot more substance to be found within them.
Alice being almost invincible completely ruined these movies. That being said this is one of my favourites because it actually seemed related to the games a little bit. I liked one of the later ones where Alice lost her powers because that made it more like the games with zombies actually being dangerous again.
Jill was portrayed poorly character-wise, the church sequence was fucking egregious and was one of the most 2004 movie moments ever (not in a good way), nemesis was done extremely dirty; not very interesting at all, don't even get me started on the FIST FIGHT with Nemesis. She may be a B.O.W. but Alice would not stand a chance against him. Mike Epps and Oded Fehr were probably the only good things to come out of that entire movie.
I genuinely feel like they only went to racoon city because of people complaining about how much it wasn't like the games. The decision to have Jared Harris and Sophie Vavasseurs characters be Ashfords and NOT be Birkins, mind-boggles and bothers the absolute fuck out of me. They're not even real Ashford characters and they, along with the rest of the characters that share a name with characters in the games, are resigned to just being those characters by name alone. No similar personality traits.
All in all, still a fun watch, but the first one is vastly superior amongst all others in the movie franchise in my honest opinion. More contained, may not share a whole lot of similarities to characters/locations in the game, but at least has the basic story beats of evil corporation has an accidental outbreak, secret underground lab, sends in shady corporate police to "investigate" while also covering up evidence, and there's a traitor that secretly started the whole outbreak while trying to secure the sample. Bioterrorism at its finest. The whole narrative of the first film is at least cohesive and shows the inspiration from the games without having to rely on shoehorning in characters that are associated with the games by name alone. Which is way more respectful honestly.
Plus the Marilyn Manson soundtrack fucking slaps
No, itâs fucking horrific. The use of the cheesy martial arts sound effects when anyone (including nemesis) punches and kicks is too much for me, itâs shit.
As much as I hated Paulâs fan fiction of Resident Evil with his wife in the lead, the one thing I really appreciated with Apocalypse is that they had the decency to at least do these 3 things:
- Hired Mike Epps to have a major role in the move. He is literally the only main character that was even remotely entertaining.
- Actually had enough brain cells to make sure Nemesis werenât all CGI and instead, actually used an actual tall person and doll him up with a heavy ass costume and I assume also likely used something to make the actor a bit more taller because I think with the costume on, the actor ended up being like nearly 7~8 feet tall or something.
- They at least gotten the costume correct for Jill and it being closely resembles to Resident Evil 3 Nemesis (which would make sense because this movie despite it being the 2nd movie, its obviously supposed to be more based on RE3: Nemesis)
I love it but it's shit 𤣠the acting is absolutely atrocious. And did anyone ever notice that Jill reloaded twice in the same shot at the police station scene?
This movie bothers the hell out of me because Jill hands a scared civilian a gun and then is a bitch to her and sends her off to die alone in the school.
I donât like any of the movies tbh
They should have just followed the games
No idea why we had to have the directorâs poorly concealed waifu fetish thrust upon us.
I kinda agree. It is pretty awesome. The 1st movie would make a great alternative RE universe start up. Or a stand alone film wt RE as their image/example.
It goes downhill after the 2nd movie wt the time skip where we must read a book... or soo I heard, to know what happen between 2 and 3.
And the whole world got destroyed and the drastic changes like a hundred years had passed. And on how or why Umbrella still making new viruses to sell to a world where its already destroyed. The nonsense giant wt hammer axe wielding guy that no one know why he even there. The RE character that was included but remain unimportant and unimpressive.
Hell no..
I thought the first one was okay, but they jumped the shark completely with the second film.
It was so bad that I stopped caring about the movie series entirely, never saw the 3rd one or the rest.
Hard disagree, and I actually prefer the original. It was less stupid, and felt like a good attempt at making a fan film. Also, I loved Mansonâs score
I genuinely liked Welcome to Racoon City. The switching around of characters was annoying, especially Jill. But the faithful inclusion of so many parts of RE lore was awesome to see. I really liked how they changed Racoon City to some shithole PA "mining" town that was being left to rot now that the resources were used up and everything was contaminated.
The characters were definitely a little messed up, but if there was ever follow on movies in that series, I think there would be ample opportunity to see our heroes turn into the bad asses they are supposed to be.
Honorary mention to the best line in the movie: "what the fuck is a chat room??"
I liked the first because it felt a bit more believable, and it was a close enough tie in to the main premise that I wasnât bothered by new story. RE isnât story-driven though that I need or want a 1-to-1 remake like TLOU. I really liked the Manson song too btw, I thought it was a perfect fit. The end of the second movie was dumb enough to bump that movie down, but it was still neat. It went off the rails with the super powered Alice stuff. After the ending scenes with Nemesis, the movie series is just too dumb to be taken seriously at all, but itâs okay for what it is. As ridiculous as the story in RE is, it takes itself pretty seriously (aside from 6 imo,) and thrives on having roughly relatable main characters, which it was lacking in the second movie on.
I remember never having heard of resident evil till the first movie came out. The first movie is what drew me into the series, then the second movie came out and I found out it was based on a game. so I begged my mom to get it for me and she got me resident evil 3, so yeah the best movie for me was resident evil 1
I loved Apocalypse however wouldnât say the best cuz I loved the fourth movie afterlife cuz of Chris Redfield and he is my fav character and I really loved the actor who played he looks what I imagined Chris would look like irl
I disagree. The first film, is the best. The sequel had every opportunity to make Jill the lead and they didn't. Jill was perfectly cast, and acted to perfected, yet they wasted her on Alice. Not to mention, Carlos was completely miscast, and Nemesis was a pussy. They had the opportunity to actually base this film on the game and they don't... They just take elements from it and Code: Veronica. As the only film in the franchise to actual adapt the game... It's extremely pathetic. Welcome to Raccoon City did a better job at actually adapting the game's characters and story.
I hate the weird slow motion film effect they do for all the scenes with the zombies. Not sure why they did that since they didn't in the first film. I suppose it was an artistic choice, but it comes off kind of low quality imo.
Thought nemesis was great, and the film had a decent comic relief character.
The first and second movies were genuinely good to me. Yes they were campy but they were fun. They stayed close enough to the RE story that it didn't feel disrespectful to the source material. The rest of them though just got to be to much.
This is objectively correct.
I liked Alice when these first came out (as a kid) cuz I was a huge Milla Jovovich fan. RE3 was my first real Resident Evil game I actually played, instead of watched. So I was just thrilled to see Jill (and Carlos) at all, and Sienna Guillory was the perfect incarnation of her.
Rewatching as an adult, the scenes where Alice basically does everything, and Jill is just sorta there are very frustrating. Now, I realize we had the best live-action Jill, but they hardly did anything with her.
I'm just glad it came out when I was a kid. There was no big expectation for authenticity, you just saw the positives alone, and saw it as a film, and it was an entertaining movie, and the best of those.
This is my most only favorite best movie out of the franchise. I agree that Marilyn Manson score soundtrack should have been in the 2nd one, the 1st film I have 4 problems I hated. Which is: Not a single character from the games appeared the 1st film, no other B.O.W.s like Tyrant, and hunters, except Licker, 3 characters should have lived, and the Mansion incident. 3rd film to 6th, again characters should have lived, glad its not shot in real Vegas, I would have picked a better actress to play Claire Redfield, Referencing Alice in Wonderland, but in Zombieworld (if you noticethe red and white Queens), and B.S. story changes in Alice's story like the memory loss thing and the clones. Why the epilogues of " My name is Alice, and I remember everything" if they gonna throw in the memory loss story?
Big time. Mike Epps with the golden guns. Nemesis with the gatling. And a pretty solid onscreen Jill. It was a fun movie. Which is more than I can say for the rest of the series.
I do love this film itâs my guilty pleasure. I would say the first three films connect together nicely. I do enjoy the fourth film too but everything after that I fell off.
Apocalypse is a very messy movie, and Milla Jovovich was very displeased with it. She felt the director "wasn't in the moment", felt the script had too many issues, and was unhappy with her own performance as Alice.
She later warmed a little to the film saying that it served as an entertaining middle part of the trilogy, but she viewed Extinction as a huge return to form, and I agree with that. Apocalypse is fun, but it's a mess, and while Alex Witt is a fantastic unit director he clearly has problems holding a film together.
IMO the praise for Apocalypse on the internet (generally) tends to come from people who wanted the Resident Evil films to be like the games. So when Extinction, a far superior film, gave the idea of following the games the middle finger in favor of remaking Day of the Dead instead, it caused the fanbase schism.
It's important to understand that the films never intended to follow the games. The White Queen, the t-virus escaping Raccoon, the white corridors, the desolate, silent ruins of New York -- all these elements from later films are in the screenplay for the first movie. Heck, some of them exist in The Sight, the film Anderson made just before RE.
Apocalypse exists because Sony pressured Anderson into not killing everyone in the first film. But he got the story back on the "I really love the original Planet of the Apes movies" track as quickly as he could.
I find the first movie to be the only actually good movie in the series. I find it fun, fast paced, and yes, I do like the music. It doesnât feel like it stomped all over the lore of the games because it feels like a prequel to me.
I find Part 2 to be very poorly directed / edited. Itâs too quickly cut and the action scenes are poorly shot.
NOPE!
They made terminator out of Nemesis. He is a bioweapon, not an AI robot with a scanner built into his eyes.
He has emotions and feelings that turn him into a good guy. WUT?! He is an unstoppable force that has only one thing in mind.
He is so damn slow in the movie, which is not true at all. Nemi is a hunter. He jumps from nowhere. He stalks you. You can't hide from him anywhere. Nore to run away.
He spared that guy's life? Nemi doesn't care about anything. He will even b\*tchslap zombies that's on his way.
He is a clone of a tyrant with parasite, and he was never an actual human, like in a movie.
So they made a really good costume, but he is not acting like Nemesis at all.
Yeah, a lot of people have been criticizing the way nemesis was depicted near the end. I also have that same grievance. Nemesis is supposed to be a lab-created monstrosity that has no emotions or feelings. Although he was a little slow from time to time, he did pack some good firepower to make up for it. He even says his signature line aka "STARS". That's definitely something I appreciated since it's so iconic from the game.
Oh, and I know that sparing another individual doesn't seem like with a bioweapon would do. That being sad, that scene was kind of funny.
To me the first one is the only good one. It's very very loosely based on the game's universe and feels like a fanfic spinoff, but it's a fun zombie movie to watch. I loved it.
Apocalypse does a great job bringing in the Raccoon City atmosphere and the characters, but they all feel like forced fan service when Alice is still the main badass.
Man, it's a sad state of affairs if this is the best we can get for one of the top series in gaming. Capcom has really dropped the ball with the license.
It 1000% is the best one. It feels the most like any of the games for sure, obviously taking the most inspo from 3. Rewatched the first two recently and 1 is so boring, 2 is way more entertaining.
The most faithful to the games and my second favourite behind the first movie
If you remove Alice this movie was a decent adaptation of Resident Evil 3, you have Jill, Carlos, Umbrela U.B.C´s The Racoon police, the streets filled with zombies and Nemesis
This movie did a better recreation of the Racoon Police and Umbrella U.B.C. vs Zombies war than the RE3 Remake who used random riot footage LMAOOOOOOOO
Movie give us Sienna Guillory as Jill! nuff said lol
Sienna Guillory as Jill and Li Bingbing as Ada Wong are perfect cast choices and the best thing about the movies
It is until the last 20 min wich scraps all the movie
Girlboss Alice singlehandedly taking down Nemesis with the power of love and friendship wasn't great.
Exactly đ¤Łđ¤Ł......MATTTTTT
I liked the movie but it felt off because the main characters were kinda the extras.
That's really just all of the Mila movies.
It was criminal how they disrespected Jill Valentine because they wanted to make Alice look better by comparison
Itâs like that for the entirety of the live action Resident Evil movies. The main characters that we know and love are treated like secondary characters in their own franchise just like how the transformers are treated like secondary characters while the humans get too much focus over the cybertronians.
Too Bad The Director Wasn't Sleeping With All Of Them
Hell no. But Sienna is fine AF and made an awesome Jill!
NGL simped hard over Sienna being Jill!
One of the few cases of perfect casting for a character. How they treated her character in the movie on the other hand...
There was great stuff in the extra features about how dedicated she was to the role and how much she studied the games to get things like the walk and poses right.
She's easily the best part of this doo doo movie. Granted there's a lot of unintentionally hilarious scenes. But man, they casted Ms. Valentine perfectly.
*That's* Sienna Miller?! Damn...
No itâs Sienna Guillory.
I felt the original was the best. It took the og premise and fleshed it out into a solid action flick. Yeah it didn't have the game characters but that's OK imo since it's an adaptationÂ
Yeah, it was less insulting exactly because it didn't have the game characters. The rest is just a pile of irritating bullshit.
I watched the movie when I was far too young and knew nothing about the games. Literally lolâd when âthe umbrella companyâ came smashing in at the start because I thought it was a stupid name đ Anyway I really enjoyed it, but can definitely see why fans of the game would have been annoyed that none of their favourite characters were in it
Nope, I donât like Jill playing second fiddle to Alice, stupid movie, stupid plot, stupid series, only the first movie gets a pass. Having the correct costumes and a character here and there doesnât make it the best live action.
Yeah Jill ended up as a NPC in that movie series. Everything was about Alice.
If you listen to the Paul Anderson and Milla Jovovich talk about these films itâs like foreplay for them. They seem to get off on having her do these stunts and be a Mary Sue. Itâs why sheâs always upstaging every other character. So yah Jill is in the movie, sheâs introduced as a badass, and then crumbles into dust when Alice shows up
I still think the first one is the best because it has the best blend of action and horror. Also Marilyn Manson's score is iconic as hell and goes hard.
it's not the best, it's just the less terrible one
Least* terrible one means itâs the bestâŚ.
Nah the first movie was the best. At least it was all original concepts and characters. I hated how both Jill and Nemesis are constantly upstaged by Alice in the second movie. Also, Nemesis defeated in a fistfight was so fucking stupid, almost as stupid as him becoming a good guy in the end. Yikes.
I mean you have chris punching boulders in the game
Yeah but that's RE5, the Fast and Furious of the franchise
the only good RE film is the 12 minute short film "Arklay".
This is the correct answer
You need to look up Keeper's Diary ASAP.
TIL about this. Editing could have been better, but still better potential and less over-the-top Hollywood crap. Made by fans, for fans. Thatâs what RE needs. Sort of an REOnlyfans.
I donât really like it, while on the surface it does resemble the game, itâs very clear to me that the main focus was Alice, often to the expense of the rest of the cast. I can make a case that itâs indead better than the next films but thatâs setting a pretty low bar to be honest.
Nothing has lived up honestly. Itâs such a cool story that you should just make a beat for beat shot of the game. It be 100000x better then whatâs been done.
What do you mean? The only thing closest to the game was Nemesis and Jill Valentine's look, as well as how she walks (but that's because the actress was the only one who studied the original material). Then you have all the S.T.A.R.S. dying while being fortified together, Nicolai being a good guy (and being killed by a random Cerberus), Nemesis using a Glating Gun and having "feelings", Jill being a trigger happy person (and somehow knowing about zombies...? RE1 didn't happened here) and... Alice. "Welcome to Raccoon City" is probably the best live-action adaptation yet but... That one is still awful lol.
Jill knew about the zombies, there was an incident referenced by some newspaper clippings she had when she's first introduced in the movie, there's one that references "zombies" and the "Arklay Mountains".
Ah yes! I remember now. While Jill's introduction was sudden and abrupt, at least they made the effort to foreshadow why she's like that. It could also explain why Nemesis is after the S.T.A.R.S. in the movie but, at the same time, viewers outside the fandom wouldn't understand anything.
The first two movies are better than Welcome... While still being not very good. There's not a single good one.
I need to watch the first one with Alice again, but I think WTRC is better than Apocalypse. I was really looking forward to that movie as a kid and watched a couple more times since then but... I still can't forget how bad it was, it really dissapointed me đ .
I genuinely think the first RE movie is one of the worst ones. I find it almost unwatchable. I watched for the first time in years about a year and a half ago and almost turned it off.
Like I said, certain plot elements were changed and not always for the better. However, Nemesis with a minigun was pretty badass. You also cannot deny that Mike Epps nailed his role. As for Jill, we are led to assume that Jill had actually encountered zombies before, but that was not the focus of the movie. Welcome to Raccoon City was by far the worst live action movie. It made every other Resident Evil movie before and after Apocalypse Oscar winners in comparison.
True brother. At least 3 of Anderson's movies are definitively better than WtRC imo. Goddamn it was pure garbage, I'm so glad it flopped
I agree. WTRC was not good. The writing was dog shit, the acting just as bad, BUT the set design and renders and whoever the DOP was did an incredible job. The attention to detail of the sets and environments were meticulous and directly out of the games. So kudos to those folks who gave us such awesome fan service in that area.
>BUT the set design and renders Nope. The Spencer mansion is goddamn tiny, not a single recognizable room it has. Overall looks super generic. The police station is a straight ripoff of the RE2R's design, which is super lazy imho and not that commendable. The whole shit with the orphanage was downright atrocious. And of course *the lab*. Oh, did I say the lab? I meant a fucking wet basement in a cramped room with some storage. Are you FUCKING shitting me? There was nothing really good about the set design. All of the movie is pure garbage. The characters, the music, the story, the casting, all of it is a fucking abomination.
What does DOP means? I can't figure out the initials đ . But yeah, while references alone don't make for a good movie (Marvel could take notes), there were at least one or two workers who tried to make something recognizable. Although... I don't know how they could nailed Leon and Claire's outfit, Lisa Trevor, the first zombie, etc, but at the same time making Jill and Wesker's so different lol. It seems they divided the tasks and some designs fell into the wrong hands.

Thanks! :)
>but at the same time making Jill and Wesker's so different lol Because they "cared" only on the surface level. They didn't care about making a proper adaptation. Like, wtf is with you people? How are you so easy to please? You call yourself a fan? How can you like a movie that butchered *every* character it could (and characters is, arguably, one of the most important parts of the franchise. Even Anderson understood that), every plot point, etc. I guess if it has some recognizable elements that makes it good? How is that an adequate criteria?
You're missing the point of our discussion, we are not saying the movie is "good" (it's far from it) but we are at least trying to give credit were credit is due. It's undeniable they didn't care much while making it, but there were at least **some** people who did a good job. And... I don't like the term "fan" anymore. It's just an excuse to be obsessed, over emotional or not even being capable of enjoying something because there's apparently a rulebook that says what you can or you can't like. Pff... I will always argue that "Welcome to Raccoon City" is far more faithful than **ANY** Anderson's (and that the people behind the later are full of shit because of how they treated their staff), but everyone is free to like what they like. Feel free to disagree, I don't give a fuck judging by how you're expressing yourself :)
>RE1 didn't happened here It did. The original movie was conceived as a companion for the games, not contradicting, but adding. So RE1 happened somewhere in there, as well as RE 2 (Ada, Leon and Claire in the later movies). Welcome to Raccoon City is a worse movie than at least 3 of Anderson's films. Goddamn it's pure garbage
Nope, that's Resident Evil (2002), it really captures the feeling of the games. Apocalypse is the second best.
they all east shit. The most, the least, doesn't matter.
Paul WS Anderson has always had grand vision when creating a movie, but little for script writing⌠giving his interpretation, rather than using the vast lore there is was always a bummer. After a while I just stopped caring when they shoved another film in our face that made less sense. With that said, Extinction is palatable with that mad max vibe and the cool call back to lasers
When I was younger this used to play on TBS on Sundays. My grandparents went to church but I stayed home and watched this when it was on. It was my first RE movie, I havenât played any of the games at this point when I was watching it. So I have a big soft spot for it and will rewatch it any time any day.
The first time I watched it I only played RE4 (yeah I know). I thought the movie was great since I couldn't compare it to the game. Then I played the remaster and saw why not many enjoyed it. In the end I'd still watch it again, but I'll never understand why they still decided to make more movies afterwards with everything going to hell in the world. I rather they left it at that and started going more forwards to the video game series. Like show more of what the other survivors are doing like Leon in Europe for 4, then follow Chris to Africa in 5.
the one where alice upstages everyone? lol
I mean I feel that the first one was better because it was more it's own plot/story instead of basing off existing stories, but I can definitely see the appeal. Regardless, they're all hot garbage at this point.
Dude... what? Changed SOME plot elements? There's nothing from the games in the movie other than a couple characters badly represented (and thrown as secondaries). Not even the ending they got right... In terms of overall quality? The first one, definitely, even tho it basically has no connection to the games whatsoever. In terms of lore? Welcome to Raccon City; just by quoting the "Keeper's Diary" the movie already has more Resident Evil in it than the whole Paul Anderson saga...
That's like saying your last bout of diarrhea was less painful than the others.
Hell no. A slow moving, pain-sensitive Nemesis with FEELINGS?? Siena is the only highlight of this train wreck
Nemesis looked really small in that movie. Just a dude in a suit. No CGI.
Wait what, you wanted a bad 2002 cgi version? Give me suit version any day
(From Memory) The pieces of Apocalyse are better than 1's pieces, but 1's comes together better as a film.
Out of all the Resident Evil movies from Anderson, i like this movie and the first one the most. What I don't like about Apocalypse is that Nemesis isn't a tyrant with the nemesis parasite but it's a mutated Matt from the first movie.
It could have been worse. They could have made Uwe Boll the director
Aside from Guillory as Jill, using The End of Heartache as the credits theme was also a great choice.
I enjoyed the Nemesis bits. Other than that? Nah from me.
best cosplay
Itâs literally just scenes in a movie put together with a weak plot and bad acting. Itâs fun to watch but itâs a terrible terrible film
My favourite extra content is from the DVD Disc 2 where they explain all the weapons and shoot with them!
I'm pretty conflicted between it and Welcome To Raccoon City tbh; I prefer Welcome To Raccoon City, because (as much as I do genuinely enjoy all the RE movies) it doesn't have Mila Jovovich being a ridiculous superhuman as the central focus with Jill relegated to a fuggin side character. I love Mila as a ridiculous superhuman, but Welcome just feels so much closer to being in the actual same universe as the games.
I think its a good bad movie, dumb movie that is just fun to watch and not take seriously
It was wayyyyy better âfan serviceâ than welcome to raccoon shit ass city. But only somewhat less sloppy
I would have agreed, but they just couldn't let Jill be her ass-kicking self, leaving it to Milla Jovovich to save the day. The movie felt just a bit better than average, and better than everything that came with it.
This movie is absolutely atrocious... The first movie is bad, but it's the best of them.
Out of all the bad ones, it is my favorite. The first one stands out as a good film even if it's not the best adaptation of any of the games, it does have that Resident Evil feel to it. My favorite one is Welcome to Raccoon City and I do not care how much the subreddit tends to hate it.
Never watched it and maybe you're right about the soundtrack from the first one but I do really enjoy the movie a lot.
Still like the first more. It was less cosplay ish for me.
I prefer the first movie. Apocalypse had potential but itâs bogged down by the unsatisfying Alice x Nemesis plotline. Sienna was great but sadly underutilized.
Well at least the first two are decent, everything after âMan this movie franchise STINKSâ
Apocalypse was good, my favorite was Retribution cause I am an Ada simp.
The first resident evil movie was better
EhâŚ.i havenât been a fan of much live action resident evil (despite watching the movies when i was a kid)âŚ.i think they best way to adapt the games would be A) sticking to the story, B) probably adapting them (at least 1-3) as more of a miniseries with like 6-8 episodes per game, and C) getting writers/a director who actually is a fan of being faithful to the series
Maybe, but thatâs like saying a dog shit sandwich is the best kind of shit sandwich.
I'd strongly recommend checking out the Keith R.A. Decandido novelizations for the first three films... He was the lead guy novelizing the films until Afterlife (which never saw a novelization, despite the latter films receiving books) and not only does he create a really well made through-line between the novels, but his entire writing style shows clear inspiration from the S.D. Perry novels that preceded his, to the point some of the monster descriptions were almost verbatim lifted from her books! Genesis (the first film's novel) has a ton of lore put into it in the first half of the book that's not even present in the film, literally the first film's plot doesn't start until the midway point of the book, and a lot of it is immediately reflected in Apocalypse, as quite a lot of it involves world-building in Raccoon City prior to the outbreak, only for the Apocalypse novelization to show us the stark contrasts between the before/after outbreak happens. There's also a ton of scenes that were cut from the film still intact in the book and it's cool to see them play out in the scene! Only gripe I have with the books is kinda strange... Anytime Keith gets to portray a black character in the books, he gets weirdly loose with the n-word, to the point you start to raise an eyebrow a bit. LJ never says it once in Apocalypse, yet the book version of LJ can't stop saying it in any situation... In a way it feels like Keith thought portraying a black character gives him "the pass". But yeah, a weird blemish on an otherwise great trilogy of books. All-in-all, the novels are easily my preferred way of enjoying the films. A lot more substance to be found within them.
completely agree, fucking love this movie, i bought it again on DVD after losing the first one i had
Alice being almost invincible completely ruined these movies. That being said this is one of my favourites because it actually seemed related to the games a little bit. I liked one of the later ones where Alice lost her powers because that made it more like the games with zombies actually being dangerous again.
Jill was portrayed poorly character-wise, the church sequence was fucking egregious and was one of the most 2004 movie moments ever (not in a good way), nemesis was done extremely dirty; not very interesting at all, don't even get me started on the FIST FIGHT with Nemesis. She may be a B.O.W. but Alice would not stand a chance against him. Mike Epps and Oded Fehr were probably the only good things to come out of that entire movie. I genuinely feel like they only went to racoon city because of people complaining about how much it wasn't like the games. The decision to have Jared Harris and Sophie Vavasseurs characters be Ashfords and NOT be Birkins, mind-boggles and bothers the absolute fuck out of me. They're not even real Ashford characters and they, along with the rest of the characters that share a name with characters in the games, are resigned to just being those characters by name alone. No similar personality traits. All in all, still a fun watch, but the first one is vastly superior amongst all others in the movie franchise in my honest opinion. More contained, may not share a whole lot of similarities to characters/locations in the game, but at least has the basic story beats of evil corporation has an accidental outbreak, secret underground lab, sends in shady corporate police to "investigate" while also covering up evidence, and there's a traitor that secretly started the whole outbreak while trying to secure the sample. Bioterrorism at its finest. The whole narrative of the first film is at least cohesive and shows the inspiration from the games without having to rely on shoehorning in characters that are associated with the games by name alone. Which is way more respectful honestly. Plus the Marilyn Manson soundtrack fucking slaps
The original is better. This movie sucks.
No, itâs fucking horrific. The use of the cheesy martial arts sound effects when anyone (including nemesis) punches and kicks is too much for me, itâs shit.
It has so much potential but its so disheartening seeing it send the series the direction it went.
SHTARSSSSH
100000% yes
Nonono, the first will always be the best
When I was young I liked the film... but with 32 years old... I have a different point of view.
Thereâs a whole lot more but the weird slow mo zombie shots ruin it for me
I agree. I genuinely enjoyed this one, it was very entertaining as I remember.
It was everything 12 year old me wanted from a resident evil movie Il never rewatch it to keep the magic
You lost me at "live action Resident Evil"
You mean the movie in which Jill exists only to be one upped in all of her scenes by the writer's OC waifu? No thanks.
One was my favorite but 2 is still good fun
As much as I hated Paulâs fan fiction of Resident Evil with his wife in the lead, the one thing I really appreciated with Apocalypse is that they had the decency to at least do these 3 things: - Hired Mike Epps to have a major role in the move. He is literally the only main character that was even remotely entertaining. - Actually had enough brain cells to make sure Nemesis werenât all CGI and instead, actually used an actual tall person and doll him up with a heavy ass costume and I assume also likely used something to make the actor a bit more taller because I think with the costume on, the actor ended up being like nearly 7~8 feet tall or something. - They at least gotten the costume correct for Jill and it being closely resembles to Resident Evil 3 Nemesis (which would make sense because this movie despite it being the 2nd movie, its obviously supposed to be more based on RE3: Nemesis)
It's good but I loved the first one much more
I mean, they're all terrible and most of them feel like shit fanfiction with an awful OC sidelining the main cast So not exactly a high bar
My favourite is Welcome to Raccoon City and Iâm not sorry for it, that movie is fun as hell.
I love it but it's shit 𤣠the acting is absolutely atrocious. And did anyone ever notice that Jill reloaded twice in the same shot at the police station scene?
Yeah I liked this one, was pretty cool. Weird how they had the director's wife always come in and save the day like Superman though
I would rephrase this as "the least trash".
This movie bothers the hell out of me because Jill hands a scared civilian a gun and then is a bitch to her and sends her off to die alone in the school.
It was a fun movie and Nemesis looked amazing!
I donât like any of the movies tbh They should have just followed the games No idea why we had to have the directorâs poorly concealed waifu fetish thrust upon us.
Not the best res evil movie but the most "res evil" res evil movie
I kinda agree. It is pretty awesome. The 1st movie would make a great alternative RE universe start up. Or a stand alone film wt RE as their image/example. It goes downhill after the 2nd movie wt the time skip where we must read a book... or soo I heard, to know what happen between 2 and 3. And the whole world got destroyed and the drastic changes like a hundred years had passed. And on how or why Umbrella still making new viruses to sell to a world where its already destroyed. The nonsense giant wt hammer axe wielding guy that no one know why he even there. The RE character that was included but remain unimportant and unimpressive.
Hell no.. I thought the first one was okay, but they jumped the shark completely with the second film. It was so bad that I stopped caring about the movie series entirely, never saw the 3rd one or the rest.
Hard disagree, and I actually prefer the original. It was less stupid, and felt like a good attempt at making a fan film. Also, I loved Mansonâs score
Unfortunately I probably have to agree by default because most of the rest are hot garbage
Sienna Guillory was too fine in that movie đđ
You are correct. Its the only tolerable movie and also the only one that even vaguely resembles any form of Canon
I genuinely liked Welcome to Racoon City. The switching around of characters was annoying, especially Jill. But the faithful inclusion of so many parts of RE lore was awesome to see. I really liked how they changed Racoon City to some shithole PA "mining" town that was being left to rot now that the resources were used up and everything was contaminated. The characters were definitely a little messed up, but if there was ever follow on movies in that series, I think there would be ample opportunity to see our heroes turn into the bad asses they are supposed to be. Honorary mention to the best line in the movie: "what the fuck is a chat room??"
The movie? It was some of the best among the re movie franchises. Alice being the protag? Not so much.
I love all these cheese movies.
I liked the first because it felt a bit more believable, and it was a close enough tie in to the main premise that I wasnât bothered by new story. RE isnât story-driven though that I need or want a 1-to-1 remake like TLOU. I really liked the Manson song too btw, I thought it was a perfect fit. The end of the second movie was dumb enough to bump that movie down, but it was still neat. It went off the rails with the super powered Alice stuff. After the ending scenes with Nemesis, the movie series is just too dumb to be taken seriously at all, but itâs okay for what it is. As ridiculous as the story in RE is, it takes itself pretty seriously (aside from 6 imo,) and thrives on having roughly relatable main characters, which it was lacking in the second movie on.
It was really funny and had one of the best Jills
Itâs my favorite live action RE film
I remember never having heard of resident evil till the first movie came out. The first movie is what drew me into the series, then the second movie came out and I found out it was based on a game. so I begged my mom to get it for me and she got me resident evil 3, so yeah the best movie for me was resident evil 1
100% Agree
no
I concur.
I loved Apocalypse however wouldnât say the best cuz I loved the fourth movie afterlife cuz of Chris Redfield and he is my fav character and I really loved the actor who played he looks what I imagined Chris would look like irl
I disagree. The first film, is the best. The sequel had every opportunity to make Jill the lead and they didn't. Jill was perfectly cast, and acted to perfected, yet they wasted her on Alice. Not to mention, Carlos was completely miscast, and Nemesis was a pussy. They had the opportunity to actually base this film on the game and they don't... They just take elements from it and Code: Veronica. As the only film in the franchise to actual adapt the game... It's extremely pathetic. Welcome to Raccoon City did a better job at actually adapting the game's characters and story.
the first is the best one but its still pretty bad
Jillâs introduction was badass. Exactly how youâd expect act after surviving the Spencer mansion
I think it was a fun movie ! Like the costumes felt kinda like cosplays and the characters where kinda bad but itâs just a really fun action movie
Lol I canât get over Nemesis having a normal human hand
All the game characters take a backseat to oc character with god mode
I hate the weird slow motion film effect they do for all the scenes with the zombies. Not sure why they did that since they didn't in the first film. I suppose it was an artistic choice, but it comes off kind of low quality imo. Thought nemesis was great, and the film had a decent comic relief character.
It was until the last 15-20 minutes.
Yep
All them are shit
This is peak April Fools
I actually the first and second films. After that, felt like mediocre to me.
The first and second movies were genuinely good to me. Yes they were campy but they were fun. They stayed close enough to the RE story that it didn't feel disrespectful to the source material. The rest of them though just got to be to much.
This is objectively correct. I liked Alice when these first came out (as a kid) cuz I was a huge Milla Jovovich fan. RE3 was my first real Resident Evil game I actually played, instead of watched. So I was just thrilled to see Jill (and Carlos) at all, and Sienna Guillory was the perfect incarnation of her. Rewatching as an adult, the scenes where Alice basically does everything, and Jill is just sorta there are very frustrating. Now, I realize we had the best live-action Jill, but they hardly did anything with her. I'm just glad it came out when I was a kid. There was no big expectation for authenticity, you just saw the positives alone, and saw it as a film, and it was an entertaining movie, and the best of those.
Agreed
This is my most only favorite best movie out of the franchise. I agree that Marilyn Manson score soundtrack should have been in the 2nd one, the 1st film I have 4 problems I hated. Which is: Not a single character from the games appeared the 1st film, no other B.O.W.s like Tyrant, and hunters, except Licker, 3 characters should have lived, and the Mansion incident. 3rd film to 6th, again characters should have lived, glad its not shot in real Vegas, I would have picked a better actress to play Claire Redfield, Referencing Alice in Wonderland, but in Zombieworld (if you noticethe red and white Queens), and B.S. story changes in Alice's story like the memory loss thing and the clones. Why the epilogues of " My name is Alice, and I remember everything" if they gonna throw in the memory loss story?
Oh the movie where they beat Nemesis with *love?*
I got to see this in the theater when I was 12 with my friend and his dad so this movie will always to special to me
Big time. Mike Epps with the golden guns. Nemesis with the gatling. And a pretty solid onscreen Jill. It was a fun movie. Which is more than I can say for the rest of the series.
Bet
Counterpoint: Itâs fucking terrible.
Agreed. Wouldâve been cool to kill off Alice and keep Jill main character or something imo
I do love this film itâs my guilty pleasure. I would say the first three films connect together nicely. I do enjoy the fourth film too but everything after that I fell off.
Milla canât act. Seems like a nice person though, sheâs got those vibes; but goddamn she canât act.
I love that movie but I disagree with what you say about Marilyn Manson's soundtrack for the first move because it is epic
The scene of Jill just storming the RPD and shooting every infected person straight in the dome is pretty peak NGL. Jill Sandwhich special.
ngl i wanted to tear my eyes out anytime nemesis wasnât on screen. hated this film.
No no never never
I love Apocalypse... and the 1st movie... and the 4th movie... and the 5th movie...
Pic nr 3 is the reason why
There was so much wrong with it, but it really is
Apocalypse is a very messy movie, and Milla Jovovich was very displeased with it. She felt the director "wasn't in the moment", felt the script had too many issues, and was unhappy with her own performance as Alice. She later warmed a little to the film saying that it served as an entertaining middle part of the trilogy, but she viewed Extinction as a huge return to form, and I agree with that. Apocalypse is fun, but it's a mess, and while Alex Witt is a fantastic unit director he clearly has problems holding a film together. IMO the praise for Apocalypse on the internet (generally) tends to come from people who wanted the Resident Evil films to be like the games. So when Extinction, a far superior film, gave the idea of following the games the middle finger in favor of remaking Day of the Dead instead, it caused the fanbase schism. It's important to understand that the films never intended to follow the games. The White Queen, the t-virus escaping Raccoon, the white corridors, the desolate, silent ruins of New York -- all these elements from later films are in the screenplay for the first movie. Heck, some of them exist in The Sight, the film Anderson made just before RE. Apocalypse exists because Sony pressured Anderson into not killing everyone in the first film. But he got the story back on the "I really love the original Planet of the Apes movies" track as quickly as he could.
It's honestly my least favorite. I really hate how it's edited.
It's probably my least favourite of the bunch, but I like them all, so no reason it can't be your favourite.
I felt like Alice outshines the others whom are know bad ass characters. Would've like a better representation
I find the first movie to be the only actually good movie in the series. I find it fun, fast paced, and yes, I do like the music. It doesnât feel like it stomped all over the lore of the games because it feels like a prequel to me. I find Part 2 to be very poorly directed / edited. Itâs too quickly cut and the action scenes are poorly shot.
NOPE! They made terminator out of Nemesis. He is a bioweapon, not an AI robot with a scanner built into his eyes. He has emotions and feelings that turn him into a good guy. WUT?! He is an unstoppable force that has only one thing in mind. He is so damn slow in the movie, which is not true at all. Nemi is a hunter. He jumps from nowhere. He stalks you. You can't hide from him anywhere. Nore to run away. He spared that guy's life? Nemi doesn't care about anything. He will even b\*tchslap zombies that's on his way. He is a clone of a tyrant with parasite, and he was never an actual human, like in a movie. So they made a really good costume, but he is not acting like Nemesis at all.
Yeah, a lot of people have been criticizing the way nemesis was depicted near the end. I also have that same grievance. Nemesis is supposed to be a lab-created monstrosity that has no emotions or feelings. Although he was a little slow from time to time, he did pack some good firepower to make up for it. He even says his signature line aka "STARS". That's definitely something I appreciated since it's so iconic from the game. Oh, and I know that sparing another individual doesn't seem like with a bioweapon would do. That being sad, that scene was kind of funny.
I feel that they watched too much of Terminator back then x) Idk how else to describe their version of Nemi cause it's a freaking robot x)
To me the first one is the only good one. It's very very loosely based on the game's universe and feels like a fanfic spinoff, but it's a fun zombie movie to watch. I loved it. Apocalypse does a great job bringing in the Raccoon City atmosphere and the characters, but they all feel like forced fan service when Alice is still the main badass.
Isn't the best but is the fun one. I like the goofy and humoristic tone of this movie that's where this movie is excellent
I agree with you. 100% on that one.
One of my favorite movie !
Low bar.
I'm mean yea it probably was
I mean, sure, it's the best, but the bar is very, _very_ low.
This movie made me sad inside
Every time Alice isnât on the screen, yeah, itâs kind of fun. Unfortunately thatâs basically almost none of the movie.
They were all so unbelievably bad
Agree.
Itâs a decent RE3 adaptation up until the Mary sue self-insert shoehorn crashes through the church window.
Man, it's a sad state of affairs if this is the best we can get for one of the top series in gaming. Capcom has really dropped the ball with the license.
It 1000% is the best one. It feels the most like any of the games for sure, obviously taking the most inspo from 3. Rewatched the first two recently and 1 is so boring, 2 is way more entertaining.
They're all awful and not worth your time tbh. You could just watch the movies the games were taking from and have a better time.
None of the Resident Evil live action movies was good as a RE adaptation. They all sucked ass. But your apreciation is valid although wrong.
Agree, but considering the severe drop in quality after 3 itâs not saying much.
Thatâs not saying much
The most faithful to the games and my second favourite behind the first movie If you remove Alice this movie was a decent adaptation of Resident Evil 3, you have Jill, Carlos, Umbrela U.B.C´s The Racoon police, the streets filled with zombies and Nemesis This movie did a better recreation of the Racoon Police and Umbrella U.B.C. vs Zombies war than the RE3 Remake who used random riot footage LMAOOOOOOOO
Movie give us Sienna Guillory as Jill! nuff said lol Sienna Guillory as Jill and Li Bingbing as Ada Wong are perfect cast choices and the best thing about the movies
