Man, I would love it if Cody would review the resident evil cgi films.
Sadly people would rate them high because they have Leon’s hair correctly 😂
Resident evil cgi movies are amazing
@@lalo_raider_5596 XD
Don't think he's watched them
Fuck pink bitch ass Cody pink goofy white nigga keep ducking me bitchass scary ass nigga on land pussy jesus ass nigga
Resident Evil The Final Chapter is definitive proof that Paul WS Anderson believes the fans are too dumb to recognize the overbearing continuity errors and plots holes in the films.
And people complain about Halloween franchise
I mean, it was pretty obvious after the 3rd film.
@@virgogaming6488 no but I mean those later Halloween films may not have been good but they were better than these
@@jonathanalbertlopez I was talking about Resident Evil, not Halloween.
@@virgogaming6488 oh my bad yeah
What about the Resident Evil CG movies and miniseries?
Resident Evil: Degeneration
Resident Evil: Damnation
Resident Evil: Vendetta
Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness
These are all the live action ones only.
Infinity Darknes is a Serie
Are you ready for the bluray of Infinite DARKNESS??.. 👀🤩👏👏😁. 20/12/2021
Loved this review series. Keep trucking along brother
1. Resident Evil: Extinction
2. Resident Evil
3. Resident Evil: Afterlife
4. Resident Evil: Apocalypse
5. Resident Evil: The Final Chapter
6. Resident Evil: Retribution
I've only seen the movies.
Mostly agree with your list, the only one I change would be Apocalypse. Didn’t love that one, probably be on the bottom of my list. But your first three are totally solid.
Love the list. Mine would be
1. Apocalypse
2. Resident Evil
3. Extinction
4. Afterlife
5. Welcome to Raccoon City
6. Final Chapter
7. Retribution
Look forward to all your videos man. Awesome ranking. Keep up the great work.🤘 agree with your ranking completely.
Would LOVE a RE movie entirely based on Code Veronica. Would be absolutely incredible
Highly doubt that considering most video game movies lol
…if done well. Emphasis on "if".
And there's a live action Netflix series coming... sometime.
That one is going to be a hot mess.
i loved watching all your reviews on this franchie thanks cody
Cody you are the only youtuber ive watched that hasnt shit all over new flick, everyone i watched absolutely hated this. Thats why im subscribed. Love hearing different opinions my major complaint of this was and is where in the f was barry burton!!! Wesker had nothing NOTHING to due with that Jill sandwich!!!
He didn't $#!t on it because he's a HUGE fanboy. He said that in the beginning of the vid 🤣
7. Welcome to Raccoon City
6. The Final Chapter
5. Extinction
4. Retribution
3. Apocalypse
2. Afterlife
1. Resident Evil
@Lorenzo Smit Welcome to Raccoon City is decent. It’s by no means worser than Retribution or The Final Chapter give it a try !
salvation?
@@cookeris - I meant Retribution. 😅.
@Lorenzo Smit - A lot of people put it over all the Paul WS Anderson films because of how “accurate” it was to the games (even though Leon is nothing like how he is in the games, not just because of the raceswap, but because he’s a bumbling idiot and weakling). Personally, as inaccurate to the games as Anderson’s movies were, and as insulting as a lot of those inaccuracies were (for f**k’s sake, Wesker, who you had to blow up in a volcano to kill in the games, dies getting smashed by a door), most of them were at least “turn-your-brain-off” entertaining while Raccoon City was boring as f**k.
Welcome to Racoon City is more focused on making whinny RE game fans happy than make good movie like some of the original one
Her outfit in extinction was hot.
Great video!! Stunning guy too! Just got into your content when watch the Chucky TV series.
Keep up the awesome work!
PS - Your arms in the thumbnail for the rankings of the Resi Evil games!😍😍😍 x
Resident Evil 2 was the best in my opinion! 🤘🏽🔥
6:22 One thing about Afterlife Wesker I hated was him seemingly being infected by Las Plagas and having to periodically eat people to keep himself stable. When in the games he's infected with an altered version of Progenitor and needs regular injections to keep the virus stable.
i think for me it's between Resident Evil 2002 and Welcome To Raccoon City 2021
1. Original
2. Welcome to raccoon city
3. Afterlife
4. Apocalypse
5. Extinction
6. The final chapter
7. Retribution
Number 1 is Welcome to raccoon city because there is no Alice
Retribution is better than the final chapter because it's better looking
@@adamcade604 I agree but with my rankings I have to rank them on rewatch
Extinction is the best looking of the Milla films, plus Russell Mulcahy directing
I agree and I like Retribution
7.the final chapter
6. Retribution
5. Extinction
4.afterlife
3.resident evil
2. Welcome to raccoon city
1. Apocalypse
Number 1 is welcome to raccoon city because there is no Alice
That mid credit scene in the new one was hilarious, giving Wesker the glasses and asking Ada to say her name was so funny, the whole theater was chanting say the name and burst out when she did. Honestly the new one was a comedy, I laughed more then anything.
Very Hollywood Resident Evil film is a comedy
That is what the original Resident Evil was, a campy horror game with its moments of being funny with its bad dialogue and acting. I think it was clear that’s what they wanted to do with WtRC.
Definitely agree the top 3 placements. Great video!
Good ranking. I haven't seen the new one yet. But after initially thinking I had the Original RE over Apocalypse, I've have since changed my mind and have Apocalypse slightly at #1 and the Original RE at #2. Subject to change once I see Welcome To Racoon City. As a fan of the original two games and after seeing your review I have a feeling that I'm gonna like it.
I wish I didn't watch it, it promised to be faithful to the games and completely fucked it up however the sets were brilliant
Apocalypse is my favorite
And tho I enjoyed welcome to raccoon city I really really hated Jill (my favorite character) but again I enjoyed it and I’d say it’s my second favorite
And I have a soft spot for the original Anderson movie as it’s a great original take on the core idea of the first game but it also has a nice dose of Alice in wonderland (my favorite book)
Unrelated but in the game zombie panic in wonderland Alice looks a lot like Jill and that makes me super happy
I love the live action RE films soooooo much and thanks to them I became a die-hard RE video game fan so for that I am grateful for them. Yeah, they can be stupid or silly but I still enjoy them as a whole. Love the actors/actresses, OST, and aesthetics. TFC actually made me tear up a little at the end (and not because of the crazy editing) because I'll truly miss this film series with Milla and people will laugh at me but idgaf 🤣 TFC could have been better but it is what it is. 🥲
I really wish Sienna and Ali would get to reprise their roles for a RE tv series someday (different from the Netflix one) 🤞🙏
I'm so looking forward to WTRC despite all the hate it got so yeah...🤭 🤷♂️
I rather prefer a complete original story in Resident Evil universe with a whole new characters. Movie in RE games are there just watch that. No need to whine that is not 100% like the game because that's not how you make good movies
Yeah these movies were fun. Better than the CGI animated movies they made
Best to worst-
1. Resident Evil
2. Resident Evil 2- Apocalypse
3. Resident Evil- Extinction (I like how this one adds daylight)
4. Resident Evil Retribution (The soundtrack is good on this one)
5. Resident Evil- The Final Chapter (this one is higher than After Life is because Dr. J. Isaacs returns.)
6. Resident Evil- After Life (Clones of Alice everywhere and it looks confusing)
Both 5 & 6 and 1 & 2 can flip flop.
7:10, What is this, The Matrix?
I have seen all RE movies besides "Welcome to Raccoon City". But I heard "The Train" song from the soundtrack of "Welcome to Raccoon City" which sounds epic and I may just watch that movie just because of that song. I have played Resident Evil 2, 3, 4 remakes, RE4 (2005), Resident Evil 7 (all DLCs too), and Resident Evil 8- Village (I also played the Shadows of Rose DLC).
Also, I believe that Resident Evil 7 would be great in movie form.
Been playing since 1998 part 2 was my first mature rated game and scared the shit out of me and been a fan ever since of all resident evil media
My Ranking I also included the 3 CG Movies
1. Resident Evil: Apocalypse
2. Resident Evil: Extinction
3. Resident Evil: Damnation
4. Resident Evil: Afterlife
5. Resident Evil
6. Resident Evil: Vendetta
7. Resident Evil: Degeneration
8. Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City
9. Resident Evil: Retribution
10. Resident Evil: The Final Chapter

6. Resident Evil: Retribution
7. Resident Evil: The Final Chapter
Welcome to raccoon city is Number 1 because there is no Alice
Dude, that shirt is amazing 🤩
I appreciate your optimism and your perspective. But for me, who grew up with the original RE games, the entire movie franchise is utter garbage that I could never enjoy. RE is survival horror yet they went with just action Hollywood garbage.
yeh man, I watched the Racoon City one earlier and enjoyed it the most I think. It had a decent atmosphere to it and didn't have the horrible shaky cam but they put to much in a short amount of time that it glossed over too much. William Birkin turning into Tyrant, the licker and police chief getting killed off, Weskers betrayal story being the biggest undershorts, I think. But, just for the atmosphere and the homages to the games I was into it the most.
loved the video
1. Apocalypse
2. Original
3. Retribution (This movie is fun fight me, great soundtrack and so many fun action sequences. Also Barry though not accurate is very funny. )
4. Afterlife
5. Welcome to Raccoon City
6. Extinction
7. Final Chapter
Hi Cody leach I hope you had a wonderful thanksgiving and I hope you are doing well and staying safe and your family and I just wanted to say hi to you and I’m a huge hardcore fan of resident evil games and the series franchise and I’m a die hard of the Paul W.S Anderson Resident Evil movies and I love all of them and I been watching them since I was a kid and I also love the resident evil CGI movie’s that came out and I just pre ordered Resident Evil Infinite Darkness on Blu Ray and I can’t wait to watch it and I also been playing my entire resident evil trilogy on ps4,ps5,ps3, and ps1 and I have a huge resident evil collection of games,action figures,and posters and keep up the mega awesome godlike work on your channel and I’m an old resident evil veteran of the resident evil series franchise.😱🥰💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️👍✌️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️S.T.A.R.S!!!!
I have to disagree with the new Resident Evil movie. I sat there with my middle finger at the screen the whole time with how they half-assed everything. But your opinion is yours and I won't take that away from you.
I love the first 4 Anderson movies. I watched them a lot growing up and have a tonne of nostalgia for them. I rewatched afterlife the other night with my cousin who also loved them as a kid and we had alot of fun because there’s alot of stupid moments and fun moments. They are not good movies but I still hold them dear
1 and apocalypse are my favorite movies, hopefully the new one is up there but from what I’ve seen and heard it doesn’t seem like it. Resident evil and twisted metal are my favorite franchises in gaming, I own every game and movie other then gaiden.
I've never watched the animated movies and I'm wondering where you would have ranked those between these movies?
There isn't a Sherry Birkin in the Resident Evil Movie Franchise, you are probably referring to "K-Mart" as the teenage girl when discussing extinction.
My ranking:
Resident Evil Extinction (GO OUT AND BUY IT
Resident Evil (STREAM IT)
Resident Evil: Apocalypse (STREAM IT)
Resident Evil: Afterlife (SEE IT ON NETFLIX)
Resident Evil: Retribution (SKIP IT)
Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (FUCK THIS MOVIE)
I have not seen Welcome To Racoon City
After seeing welcome to raccoon city I bought the remaster of 2 and I’m loving it. I agree with the ranking too mine would be the same
Nice one Cody
complete agree with you bro!
1. Resident Evil Extinction
2. Resident Evil The Final Chapter
3. Resident Evil After Life
4. Resident Evil Apocalypse
5. Resident Evil
6. Resident Evil Retribution
Just watched all these for the first time this week and am commenting just after finishing the final chapter. I'm honestly surprised to see most people rank it low. I really enjoyed it. I'd rate the series 5.7/10.
Out of the Anderson films i enjoyed Afterlife the most. This film's Wesker was more willing to get his hands dirty and fight everyone,as opposed to the other Anderson films where Wesker just barks orders at his underlings. I also liked the performances of the actors in this one alot,especially Wentworth Miller as Chris Redfield. It was a shame they didn't use him again,i really wanted both the Redfield siblings to survive the end of the series.
FYI
Mister Anderson didn't direct Apocalypse or Extinction. Cmon bro...get it together
To be honest I really enjoyed welcome to raccoon city because it's better than the other resident evil movies directed by Paul WS Anderson and I'm not saying that welcome to raccoon city is good but it's better than the movies because they follow the 1st two games
No it doesn't. It just looks like it does.
If they could have gotten the same budget that the Anderson films got with welcome to racoon city, it would have been amazing, there was actually some good zombie shootout scenes. Welcome to racoon cities budget was only 5 million, vs the Anderson films that were 50 million plus. Every reviewer says the same thing that I agree with it as well, that they shouldn't of cramed the mansion with the city in one movie. Hopefully they could rectify this with a directors cut, plus a full racoon city version like the re3 nemesis game, but with a good budget, and longer run time.
That shirt is awesome 🤘
Got an idea for a video for ya! Video game movie ranking, gotta pick the best video game to movie adaptation!
Cant wait for the next reboot.
I know you said you weren't a big animation fan, Cody, but I would still highly recommend the CG films, Degeneration, Damnation and Vendetta. If you are a Resident Evil fan, you will really enjoy those; they are easily superior to any of the live-action movies in my opinion. Leon Kennedy in particular is a total badass in those outings.
I SO AGREE with you about Apocalypse.
Without seeing the newest movie, I agree with your rankings. As a huge fan of the series and the games, the new movie looks exciting to me.
I hope they eventually make a true to story RE4 movie. Gotta see the Big Cheese and hear about the ballistics.
Sorry to say but that's never going to happen, the closest thing your going to get a RE4 movie is the video game remake.
You said something about you wishing Welcome to Raccoon City was the best video game movie and it made me wonder what your thoughts on the movie adaptation of Silent Hill are?
Apocalypse is my favorite simply cause Jill Valentine and I can watch that movie all damn day long lol however Welcome to Raccoon City was the most true to the story of how it all starts. You sir pretty much nailed every aspect of this review.
cody you should review the new south park short film: post covid and possibly give us some reviews and rankings of all the old south park seasons
I love first 3 RE films. Retribution is the worst one. I like a few moments in The Final Chapter
Just discovered you. I'm pretty sure you are my spirit animal
Welcome to Racoon City is the best hands down no contest.
Agree 🤝
PWS movies just rank from 6-5-4-3-1-2 , huh ?
Kinda easy ranking but wasnt expecting the first two switched
I hope you and the family had a great holiday,be safe,be well,be happy.rp
Hoping you can review the howling franchise and see your ranking
Wow, the newest Dexter. Can't wait to hear what Cody has to say.
Hey Cody, I’ve been watching your review Siri evil and it’s getting me very interested in playing them. I generally play MMORPG like elder scrolls but I want to mix it up and you Piqued my interest with these reviews. If you were recommending this game franchise to a first time player would you just tell him to start at the first one and go from there or is there another one that you think would be more Accessible for hooking a non-fan?
Start with 4 for sure cause it’s the best or try remake 2 & 3 as they are more accessible for new players
@@seederentertainment3340 thanks for the input man. I was going to purchase one of the games this evening and I wanted to get the best Bang for my buck as someone who isn’t a pre-established fan.. sounds simple enough to just buy the first one and go from there but I know the first one isn’t always necessarily the best one for bringing people into a franchise regardless of what franchise that may be
@@michaelshane5882 If you're on playstation they're on sale in the store.
It depends on you. I think the remake of the original game holds up very well and is available on modern consoles so I would start there BUT it has old school tank controls of PS1 and PS2 era survival horror games. Some people cannot stand those controls. If you look at gameplay clips and it looks miserable to you, I would start with the resident evil 2 and 3 remakes that came out a few years ago.
@@CodyLeachYT I actually already watched some clips before I even read your response lol Having not played it I was trying not to judge it too harshly but I could see me not enjoying that gameplay style. However I can adapt especially once I acquire a taste for something.. I’d probably start with 2, 3 or even 4 it sounds like.
Are the side games like code Veronica in the main Canaan? And if so should I just stick to the main continuity first and then go play those or play them in the order they exist in the timeline
Again I enjoy the series. Some are a little off but most of them are fun and crazy guilty pleasures.
1- Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City
2- Resident Evil (2002)
Done
Welcome to Raccoon City , Apocalypse, Resident Evil (2002), Afterlife, Extinction, Retribution, Final Chapter
Resident Evil needs a new producer and good directors
rotten tomatoes ranking:
7. Apocalypse (19%)
6. Afterlife (21%)
5. Extinction (24%)
4. Retribution (28%)
3. Welcome to Raccoon City (30%)
2. Resident Evil (35%)
1. Final Chapter (37%)
Average: 27.71%
I agree with your ranking, but I’d switch Afterlife and Retribution
I only played a little bitnof the first game and none others but I still enjoyed Welcome to Racoon City.
im in the middle of playing the first game right now i think im gonna wait to watch the movie until i get a bit more into the games
4 and 5 are the best slices of cheese in the entire series. The rest I could do without.
I haven't seen the new one yet, but as for the first 6
6. Final Chapter
5. Retribution
4. Resident Evil
3. Apocalypse
2. Afterlife
1. Extinction
Nice ranking cody it’s exactly like my ranking but welcome to raccoon city to me Way better than the other sex films
the best RE movie we got yet
Why does Alice always duel wield every weapon? I've rarely seen her with just one weapon in her hand.
Because she’s cool
Never seen Retribution or Final Chapter and really don’t care too after I was really let down by Afterlife. The first three are good, especially the first two films. Not sure if I want to see Welcome to Raccoon City.
Welcome to raccoon city is the best resident evil movie by a landslide I do think apocalypse and og 2002 are serviceable and entertaining
👀.... 🤔😁👏👌, your totally right!.
I think the same, this time make a GREAT MOVIE. I see this movie 2 times!. And im buy when release in Bluray!. and added to my mega collection of RESIDENT EVIL!!.
Just watched Welcome To Raccoon City and I quite liked it. It wasn't perfect (I didn't care for the depiction of Leon or Wesker and some of the CGI looked pretty fake by today's standards) but all in all, I think it's the best Resident Evil movie we've got to date. My ranking would be as follows:
7) RE: Extinction
6) RE: Retribution
5) RE: Apocalypse
4) RE: The Final Chapter
3) RE: Afterlife
2) Resident Evil
1) Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City
4:12 Like they do in all the Anderson RE films because the guy can't commit to his cliffhanger endings.
I’ve only played the newer games, I’ve tried playing the original but I hate the controls, I just can’t stand it. I don’t like the Paul W.S. Anderson movies, but the first 2 are fine. I still haven’t seen WTRC, I’m still excited even though I know it’s flaws
You seem like a cool dude and I dont begrudge anyone for having a different opinion on movies than me. But having just watched WTRC I cant fathom how even hardcore fans could like it much.
By combining the first two games they didnt just shoot themselves in the foot they blew the damn thing off.
Jeremy Jahns said it best. The remakes ARE the modern, cinematic, ramped up to 11 RE experience fans always wanted. A new movie version is redundant.
It was cool seeing the settings but whats the point when these places are no longer integral to the story as places to escape?
It was cool they wanted to include every main RE character but whats the point when you dont have time to let them all shine? Leon and Jill have absolutely nothing to do.
It was cool they wanted to follow the story but, again, two game stories in less than two hours. To call what we get a cliff note skeleton is generous.
Not to mention the scale of the story being chopped down to a sliver of what something like Apocalyspe accomplished all those years ago on a similar budget. This new movie is just a hair above looking like a web series.
So with all this in mind I have to say I much prefer Anderson's series. More action than horror but at least most of the action is done well with style and flare and when game characters show up at least they have charisma and feel like the larger than life fighters they are in the games.
its not a perfect movie,but i loved it myself. Alot of ester eggs.
Agree 100%
If I want to watch a movie completely tie to the games I watch it in games. If I want good quality Resident Evil, I watch it based on separate story built for the movie from ground up
Lifetime fan

Okay now that this new movie is out can we *PLEASE GET PROPER ADAPTATION OF DOOM!!!*
Yeah even the later games took inspiration from the movies. Laser scene in RE4 and slo mo Matrix fight scenes
Im thinking that James wan would be the absolute PERFECT director for a Resident evil adaptation. He can do action and horror like hes already proven. Hollywood, please! Its so obvious

Oooof. While I didn't mind the new one so much, the best? Ooof. I respect your opinion though. But I hated how they scattered storylines that belonged to others. And the casting choice was so bad. The only one I believed was Birkin and even that's eh. And don't get me started on Lisa Trevor lol
