The thing is that this was a great movie... i love the first, the second, even the third movie was good... but hey, if good movies get a tons of sequels they're gonna have a Baaaad time.
My issues with the Resident Evil movies: 1) George Romero was rejected as writer/director for Paul Anderson, the guy who did Mortal Kombat. 2) Every character from the games that is brought in is portrayed as a generic action hero. 3) The movies are just little more than glorified live-action fanfiction.

My thoughts is that the main actress that plays Alice in the movies (Mila Jovovich) is married to the director of these movies (Paul W.S. Anderson). My guess is that the reason that they make a new movie is because Paul W.S. Anderson forgets to give his wife an anniversary present. So her last minute anniversary gift is having another starting role in yet another Resident Evil movie. Happy Anniversary to the lovely married couple.
I'm reading Romero's script; it's pretty good & it actually has Alpha Team and Bravo Team from the original game. Chris isn't a member of STARS, but rather Jill's boyfriend who rushes in head first to the Mansion lab. I like it.
I still can't believe they rejected Romero's script. It was faithful to the games, it was well written, it was tense, and above all it had STRONG potential to be fucking TERRIFYING. And with how large the audience is for the RE games, the movie would have made TONS of money.
Same reason Michael Bay keeps making movies: People go see them. What I don't get is everyone complaining about stuff but then paying money to go see it anyway. I haven't watched a single of those RE movies because it's pretty obvious they suck.
At least Michael Bay HAS GOOD SHOTS. The original Transformers had some incredible CGI that puts Marvel to shame. THERE ARE NO SUCH SHOTS IN ANDERSON'S CRAP
If capcom went with Romero's idea, these movies would have never happened. I only enjoy the first two films, the rest of them are awful movies. They should have stoped at apocalypse, but no paul w.s anderson had to keep his wet dream alive by making more movies. No matter what anderson says, these movies have nothing to do with the games, mila is a decent actress when she is not playing alice. I truly feel sorry for her because she has to continue to make these movies and these movies ruin her reputation as an actress that can be taken seriously. I hope the latest movie will be the last one, and they need to reboot the movie series. I think that s.d perry should write the script since she did an amazing job on those resident evil books, and i think that brian de palma would be a great choice for the director. Paul anderson needs to screw off and leave resident evil alone.
Noot Yu He was suppose to do it, had a script ready and even made the live-action trailers for RE2. Then when he showed to to Capcom they supposedly 'didn't like the script.'
BigBoxGamer Capcom really shouldn't be allowed to say what's "good" or "bad" at this point, they've only proven time and time again as of late that they have no clue in that regard, be it their games or adaptations of their franchises.
The movies are pretty low budget under 100 million and they make way over 100 million in theaters alone. Until they stop making money they may never quit.
Raging Golden Eagle So it's the Uwe Boll factor at work? Then again he got his as a tax right-off because they would fail, but you mean to tell me that they spend so little in production that no matter how terrible the movie is it still makes money back? XD
I really don't understand what's so hard about making films based on video games, instead of writing new shitty scripts altogether. Same thing happened to Silent Hill, along with many other terrible video game adaptations, and it was garbage.
It's because hollywood directors are trying to make something that they feel will appeal to the mass market, they think in dollar signs, not in artistic visions.
She's in everything he does and their both worse off for it. Well i assume he is. I know she was in several movies i liked but of course nothing recent.
According to what I've read, Capcom rejected Romero's film script because they said ''Romero's script wasn't good, so Romero was fired.'' Yeah, not like Paul W.S Anderson he's way better. With his shitty scripts, shitty effects, shitty direction and piece of shit actors are way better for the Resident Evil license then getting the godfather of Zombie movies to direct your films. 'Good job!'
Well, there is one other thing -- Paul W S Anderson went to the studio saying: "I have a script and want to do a Resident Evil movie!" And the Studio said: "You want to do a Resident Evil movie? We were looking to make one ourselves!" And because of that, I believe the green-light of the first movie, his version, was much more easily obtained than it normally would have been.
Oh god I remember when the first one came out and I saved my fuckin childhood money to go watch it and I was so excited like "Oh my god there's an actual movie from my favorite horror game oh and its 16+ its has to be way scarier than the game ".. I still can't forget the disappointment that was drawn on my face after watching...It seems like Capcom were targeting The Matrix fanbase or whatever movie was a hit back then!! I gave the first and the third movie a chance and now I'm done, I'm not even curious to check the second one. On the other hand Degeneration and Damnation are awesome! we need more of those canonical CG movies!
You're not alone, I had jammed to the soundtrack quite a bit and was all excited, saw it and was like well....uh....fuck.....(Told myself it wasn't bad, even bought it on DVD) Then rewatched it a few times with friends and yeah it became painfully evident it wasn't too good
I don't understand how the writers for these films were handed, in a goddamn gift wrapped box, so much lore and monsters and story, and yet managed to just completely turn it into the most tacky Mary sue storyline to date in a horror series. How do you fuck up that bad?
Glad they finally stopped! But on the topic of things that I didn't want to stop - Hopefully AlphaOmegaSin's channel starts making uploads again one day!
I really didn't understand, why Capcom not used the script of George A. Romeo... I love the japanese commercial for "Biohazard 2" game. That was 100% "Resident Evil"!!! George A. Romeo is the master for Zombie movies. I hate the "Resident Evil" movies with Milla Jovowich...
If I had enough money, I would collect every single copy of these movies on earth and every streamed video on the Internet, and erase them from this world. To hell with Anderson and Jovobitch.
The first movie had potential. It's the only one that even close. I agree with you 100% though. Most of the people (I know) that like the movies don't know anything about Resident Evil. I got a friend of mine to play the first game (RE-make), 15 minutes in, she says "so when do we find Alice?".
People who know nothing about RE keeps watching them. The cost to make a RE movie is $100m and the end up making at least $200m. So like it or not it makes money little or big so it just keeps on coming even if people hate it, but as long as its making money it will never die.
I think the only proper reaction is "god why!?" Admittedly not a fan of the series. Didn't think the first one was complete trash, but really it did not get any better from there. These things have been called pure trash from the start though and yet movie 6? Really!? This just isn't right.
I still can't get over the director of these shitpile movies claiming he's a big Resident Evil fan, and that he called out other game-movie directors for not understanding and respecting the source material. But you know what depresses me more? Your rant at the end about the movies is exactly what Capcom has turned the game series itself into as well. There's no survival horror left, it's all bad, over the top, sci-fi action nonsense now. They would have to try pretty bloody hard to make up for the abomination that was RE6. Oh and one last thing, it's a good thing you stopped at the third movie, because I caught the fourth on TV last year and it's somehow exponentially worse than the first three. Wrap your brain around that one.
It's called money money money, and they are making plenty of it.What i'm tired of is Marvel Super Hero movies, and that new Batman movie? There have been plenty enough of them.
***** I play the games and meh I dont overly hate the movies, theyre all around 4/10 to me but theyre ok to me for what they are but wouldnt pay to see them lol. Also the movies did get a friend of mine into the game series and then the CG movies
***** Yeah, I played them, just I don't care if they're making bad movies to advertise their games... I mean, there is a lot of bad music that is popular, bad popular TV shows and then bad popular movies... if they know what people likes to watch and they're making profit out of it, that's just marketing like everything else, I can't see the problem.
You didn't saw the 5th? Ok, Never watch it, it only tells you that EVERYTHING in the previous movies were "simulations" underground in Umbrella's lab. You know they've hit the bottom of the barrel with that kind of shitty "hey lets pretend nothing happened in all last 4 movies" idea.
At this point it's really "How much more of this series can I shit on to make my wife look cool?" Alice is a BOOOOOOOOOOOOOORING character before and AFTER having superpowers. Ditch the fanfiction movies and watch Resident Evil Degeneration and Damnation. They're great.
These are the films that never end This shit go on and on my friend Some people started making them not knowing what it was And they'll continue making them forever just because... (loop)
i watched Apocalypse and i STOPPED THERE because when i watch the 3rd one IT WAS HORRIBLE but the 1 and 2 is ok because they add many references from the games but 4 to 6 is TRASHY!
I thought the first two were decent. Every one after that sucked IMO. But those digital movies are pretty awesome, the one that takes place in an airport was pretty awesome.
100% agree with this man. They are a massive insult to the fans that made the games popular enough to made into movies in the first place. They are "Resident Evil" in name only. Maybe TV series "Arklay" can slowly undo a decade of rampant Resident Evil lore-rape but I'm not getting my hopes too high.
Hasselhoff Andretti Benn a few years since i've seen doom and i can comfirm it was nonsensical along with bad but it was that bad... was it? I'd say the reason these movies survive is "durr... gurl!" which doom doesn't have... and if it did then it would hopefully be a bad ass Samus rip off that.... OH MY GOD SHE'S TAKING..... NO! JUST NO!!!.... my imagination of what they would do just blew my mind in the bad way.
***** I said *most* video game-based movies. The Silent Hill movie is an exception. The Resident Evil movies are way better than movies like Super Mario Bros., Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, the Uwe Boll movies, Tomb Raider, Max Payne, Doom, and Hitman.
Allie-RX The first Tomb Raider and Mortal Kombat weren't that bad (in my opinion), which is why they did well enough for a sequel. As for the sequels...we won't get into that. :) Oh, and Street Fighter's a guilty pleasure because Zangief was good comedy relief and Raul Julia's last performance as Bison was awesome!
the only reason they continue to make the resident evil movies is because the budget is actually quite small and the director and mila are married so they are a team. Small budget and feeding off resident evil fans actually make a decent profit for the studio and that is why they continue because its a safe bet that they will make a profit
Movie 1: Not bad. Enjoyable at parts and quite interesting--enjoyed the licker, personally. Movie 2: Also not bad. It was nice to see the apocalypse in the city and a few memorable characters from the games. Not overly great and the actors were sometimes lousy, but not a bad movie. Movie 3: Eh...quality slip here. Movie 4: Did we get worse? Movie 5: Most mediocre Resi Movie yet. Movie 6: It's time that we stop making these. We could've stopped at 2 and have been fine...
The only part I liked about the last one, was when "Barry" pulled out his gun. Ada looked good, but one fan boy moment and a fan service moment didn't make it worth full price of admission. I'm all for a reboot!
Yeah all the movies together have a moment here and there that seem pretty neat but just aren't enough to warrant the movie in general let alone its own namesake.
Yeah, I guess. I fanboy'd heavily when I saw Barry pull out his magnum, but then Curious Case of Albert Wesker showed up somehow infected with Las Plagas or Uruboros, and I just died inside. I had read Romero's script a while ago when I used Capcom Unity. Sure it's a little different, but I still prefer it over Anderson's excuse to show off his wife.
These moments feel like Anderson just googled who character is popular and what his signature thing and nothing else ...and just tosses them in the movie to get more gaming audience to see it...It is just a pathetic attempt.
Noot Yu Reboot back into being a Resident Evil game. Along with the fact that the storyline has become pretty shitty now and makes it impossible to revert without a franchise reboot. This is because the C-Virus, Oroboros, Las Plaga exist in the universe and it wouldn't make sense for someone in the storyline not to use them. And, use what is considered a failure in the storyline in the T-Virus and G-Virus compared to those more complete viruses, or parasite. The reboot is required in order to make the T-Virus and G-Virus be the only viruses to exist again in the franchise storyline. Then if they do it right, I wouldn't mind them reintroducing the C-Virus in the classic RE setting.
Noot Yu As far as the game goes right now since the gameplay change was bound to happen. Since after RE3 many people during the time were demanding it. I would prefer the gameplay style from Resident Evil 4: The Hooked Man Edition.
That very first Resident Evil film was merely okay as sort of a one-time-view novelty item, in the same vein as that live action Super Mario film from the early 90s. Beyond that, it's shite. The whole series is. Those CG films are the actual characters and RE universe, not some shitty cast trying to portray Jill and Wesker and Barry and etc. That's why those are far superior. Not to mention Damnation aptly ties in between 5 and 6, and is a wonderful entry in the series.
I stopped looking forward to the RE movies after the 3rd movie. They really jumped the shark in that one. Me and my bestfriend went to see the third movie and at the end we couldn't believe the horrible ending. The average fan of the movie series might think its awesome to see a bunch of Alice clones ready to join the real Alice to take down Umbrella but all I could think about was hows the next movie gonna put up with several Alice's running around?? Next movie they kill off all the Alice's after a beginning action sequence. What was the point to that! :P
I stopped after the 3rd one, the second one was dumb too. I hate the live movies, they sucked so much ass. I'd watch Geroge Romero's version ANYDAY, his movies rock.
Snyder's DotD remake was excellent, I don't know how you didn't like it. It did what a remake is supposed to do: tell a new story with the same general concept. Romero's trilogy stands on its own, no faithful remake would ever be able to one-up it, so why try? Snyder gave us fast zombies, which was revolutionary and is now the standard. Don't hate, appreciate.
I think you need to revisit this and talk about one crucial thing... These movies ruined the video games and book series. The books and games were actually fucking GREAT until the movies came along, then they kind of switched to a SHIT FUCKING AUDIENCE.
It's cool man everyone has those guilty pleasure movies that they know suck ass but get a kick outta them regardless. Mine are mainly old cheesy horror movies like the ones they make fun of on Mystery Science Theater 3000
AlphaOmegaSin Yea, I watched MST 3000 and laugh how I watched all those movies and will still watch them when I can catch a late night flick. Good vids keep it up!
+Mike Jones Are you out of your damn mind? The first two are the worst RE movies specially the second one. Resident evil is a horror game. You know!!! you open doors, you hear the ominous music, zombies foot steps, dog foot steps, and you know they are there. You don't have enough ammo you are scared. there is tension in every corner. you feel trapped the whole time. the relive you feel when you enter a typewriter room. It has been 10 years since the last time I played RE1 and I still remember it. Resident evil 2 as you make your way to the police station you hear the zombies moaning, you see the desolation, the mutilated bodies, everything is a mess, and its not going to get any better because this is just the beginning of your fucking nightmare. This is resident evil girls with caring personalities, cool guys and bad guys, excellent environments, and twists are plenty. Omg there are zombies in this mansion, Omg there is a secret lab under it, Omg wesker is a traitor, Omg Barry is going to let wesker kill me... after all we've been through what a dick!!! This movies are shit specially the fucking first. I remember being a kid asking myself Oh man!! we only have 10 minutes of movie left where the fuck is Jill, chris, Wesker, barry, tyrant, and who the fuck is Alice? then there is the second film where NEMESIS gets Pussyfied. I remember watching him karate fighting that skinny ugly bitch. I was like omg WTF is this, power rangers????. I remember it very well because I spent all my money to force my family to go watch this motherfucking movie. I invited everybody, so they can see RE. I was like... Now you are going to watch a master piece. My good Lord everybody was laughing in the theater as Jill comes in the room shooting everybody in the head for no reason because nobody knew what the hell was going on, but she did... How??? all I knew is that, everybody was making fun of my childhood, my memories, and I was aware that the movie was shit. I was so little and innocent. I cried so damn fucking hard as the Nemesis was being reduced to the level of a gay motherfucking man. I watched, mesmerized, as my hero was getting his ass handed to him by a chick, and then he cried and everybody laugh. that's when I stood up and I left the theater and I walked home with tears in my eyes and with my pockets empty. I was asking myself WTF went wrong. I didn't see the rest of those bastards, two movies were enough for me. I have RE 5 the game and I haven't finish it yet. I am not going to because it hurts my brain playing that shit. I haven't spent anymore money on this franchise. Its over my amigos..... Its over!!!!! FUck you paul w ass under-son. you are not a good director, you are fucking shit. I could have directed the RE movies and make a shitty movie out of it and still make a lot of money. its RESIDENT FUCKING evil for god sake. You are the worst director ever!!, You ruined the AVP movies for everybody. how the hell can you fuck that up. well, you are a shitty director and a worst writer. If I see you in the streets I will look for any excuse to fucking punch you in the face motherfucker.
have you seen return of the living dead or shun of the dead i have a feeling you will like them and as a guilty pleasure you have too switch too a different mindset with these movies there are bad but great with beer when you know they are nothing like the games.
I'm totally on your side man. I seriously wrote a 13 page diatribe of how fucking terrible the movies were and that was when there were only THREE. I no longer pay them the respect of even saying how shitty they are.
Seeing a dragon, a fucking DRAGON, at the end of that last abortion, I lost all hope for any future movies in the franchise to be even half decent. Dragons (and QTE's) do NOT belong in Resident Evil.
You my sir are a dumbass... Because i'm an ACTUAL fan of both the movies and the games, I can pick out the movies flaws instantly or tell what monster is which. So judging by you ignorance I can totally tell you never played Resident Evil 5 the game, in which those things weren't dragons but they were actually B.O.W.S so please stop and do your research before you say some dumb shit and don't even know what you're talking about, they weren't even dragons though. lol
amechigreen You're the dumb shit here. When I referred to the dragons, I was talking about the thing at the very end of the last MOVIE. And if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, then it's a fucking duck. Or in this case, a dragon.
Walter White That's actually one of the flying creatures from Resident Evil 5... It's a Plaga mutation that literally tears itself out of a host's back. Not pleasant. They're call Kipepeo.
Well, you certainly got farther in that abortion of a game than I did. I just quit about an hour in because of the terrible jerky camera. They should have just kept the same view as 4 had if they wanted to go for the generic American style action game feel.
So like I said... you my sir are a dumbass. Get your fact straight. Like I hate when people try to bring up shit about the movie and don't even know what they are talking about...
While Romero's version of the script was more true to the source material, it wasn't without its own flaws. Romero's characterizations of some characters are utterly off. Barry was a black guy. Wesker was more of a cowardly weasle like Brad Vickers than his true self. Chris Redfield was an Eagle watching Native American banging Jill on the side. Don't get me wrong, I'd still rather watch Romero's version than Andersons, but Romero's take isn't perfect. And Romero isn't above using shitty CGI himself. He did it in Land Of The Dead, so can't say without certainty that he wouldn't have used it in his draft of RE.. II don't get what it is about Resident Evil that seems to be so damn difficult to adapt. The novelizations got it right. The conics based off the original games got it right. But the movies fucked it up horribly and even the games have forgotten how to do things right. The Anderson line of films needs to come to an end. If Capcom cant get their shit together and wake up and realize that what they're doing is destroying one of their most valuable venues, then the RE series of games needs to die too.
brotha, seriously awesome, couldn't have said it better myself, they are a twisted infected shitshow and burn on something that we hold so close to us, what we grew up with, these movies are Fuckin sickening to watch and to hear people that say they're good or not bad...... no no stop Fuckin Stop. Atleast Silent Hill new it bombed with just 2 horrible horrible horrible movies and stopped but NOPE can't stop Alice, yeah remember how badass Alice was in Resident Evil, flipping around the mansion and then in RE2 she was doing it again, one punching Mr X....... Oh yeah that's right, SHE'S IRRELEVANT TO THE RE UNIVERSE AS ARE ALL THESE PIECES OF SHIT please please please no more.
I've not seen anymore after 2 but what you said I'm convinced I'm not missing much. I saw 'Damnation' and I was convinced that I was watching a superior film. It must be frustrating for the directions of the CG movies to be overshadowed by more mediocre films.
I agree. I liked Extinction, because she wasn't invincible and just trying to stay alive as well as protect the little girl whom thought Alice was her mother.
Yeah I love them too. I know they're not good, but I think that's what makes it fun to watch. and I'm sorry, but the CGI Degeneration movie was horrible. bad acting, horrible CGI, it was a wreck. But I still bought it and enjoy it. Ah well lol
George Romero's script is way better than the piece of crap we were given. its way more faithful to the source material, if a reboot is done it should be done with Romero's Script, Period. no more of this Alice Vs Umbrella Shit.
I watched the first and saw some clips from the some of the latter ones. I can happily say that I know they're shit because Alice just can't disappear, she exists to the detriment of every other character and setting.
Im surprised anyone made it past the second movie. Very lazy writing. Throw in Matrix powers, throw in comedic black guy, throw in attractive female (double check). I'm sure they had a generic list with things written like that which they were told to check off lol.
Those Resident Evil Movies are just made for Fetish guys. I stopped watching those garbage flicks after part three. I love the games, but the movies just stole time off my life.
***** The worst Thing about it, Capcom changed their Resident Evil games and tried to make them like the stupid movies. And they proudly presented us: Resident Evil 6, - the first Game from the series, that I really had to make me finish it, just because I wanted to put it behind me and never think about it again.
I understand how movies can be so bad they're good, but that doesn't apply here. These are just plain bad. I muscled my way through the first one, and tried to watch the second but couldn't get more than half way through. There's no reason to see more than one of these, let alone six.
Yo, Alpha, Thank you bro! I've been telling people these Resident Evil movies were garbage since I first saw the first two, and I'm a huge zombie fan. I love George Romero's movies and just about every other cheesy zombie movie out there. Fuck Resident Evil movies. Even the comic books that were briefly released in 2000 had better writing. 28 Days Later FO LIFE Suckas!!!
Paul W. S. Anderson and Milla Jovovich. Why continue with Resident Evil when you can make your own film. Heck, I'm confused what is so Resident Evil. The films are just fanservice, with no redeemable quality behind them. Oh sure, Leon and Barry was in the last film, that is just crap. I'd say it's just Resident Evil: The In Name Only series. It was suppose to be a horror film, no wait it's a survival horror film, no wait it's now an action horror film. Heck, Silent Hill Revelations felt like any Resident Evil film, except the CGI films tied to games but even then the games are falling into sequelitis at it's worst. I'm sorry, but the director and capcom needs to stop with Resident Evil. They could try Dino Crisis, especially the first game. But then again, the original developers (Keiji Inafune, Platinum) have left or were let go because of the continual mess of sequels, reboots and the less than popular Remember Me.
Well, some of the actors are shitty, but you kind of failed at thinking in general if you think Milla is a bad actress. She is amazing, not to mention who ever played Wesker is kickass too and Michelle Rodriguez is great too.
In these movies she is terrible, but I agree, she can be a decent actress and I don't blame her for her performance here, I blame Andersen. An actor can only do so much when being led by terrible direction through an atrocious script. Even the likes of Sean Connery can give the impression of being a bad actor in the wrong situation, just look at his performance in League of the Extraordinary Gentlemen.
The movies were never even a resident evil film! It wasn't scary or had anything decent that the first few games had to offer, yeah it references things here and there but it doesn't make it resident evil!
It's funny how RE is slowly getting more over the top than most action movies (or games) yet they still call it "horror". I mean just look at Jake from RE6. He punches Ustinov (don't remember his actual name and I'm too lazy to look it up) into the lava. He punches a BOW from THAT size and weight, sending it flying backwards off the platform. That is something I would expect Gene from God Hand to do. Also it's funny how he seems totally confident that he can defeat that thing bare handed. And THAT is what's wrong with RE in my opinion. It's not the controls, it's not about the no longer fixed camera angles. It's the complete lack of atmosphere and everything that makes a horror movie or game. I mean how much horror would Friday 13th be if the characters would just Kung Fu Samba Jasons ass?

That's what I said when RE4 was released. I just kicked hooded sith zombie-ish creatures down stairs... I kicked'em. Bought the game in a cheap magazine who gives some free titles sometimes here where I live, spent most of it laughing instead of been afraid of anything. It's crazy how so many things doesn't make sense like the seller outside the boss room, even with all the problems in the path, locked doors, monsters blocking the way, puzzles and so on. So he sells me a rocket launcher and "it's fine". How can people still call it Resident Evil?
Maicon Berté When RE4 came out back during the PS2/ GameCube days I really loved it because Leon was so kewl... I was 16 back then. Looking back at RE4 now I totally agree with you. Superhuman characters and horror do not mix IMO. For the player to feel threatend the character he's playing as has to be vulnerable. Why should I be scared by those villagers if I can bash their heads with my allmighty roundhouse kick? Why should I be scared of those angry looking villagers at all?
sad these types of movies get tons of sequels yet good movies don't :(
The thing is that this was a great movie... i love the first, the second, even the third movie was good... but hey, if good movies get a tons of sequels they're gonna have a Baaaad time.

Are they allergic to good things?
Nigalas Cage I still would’ve preferred his movie adaptation for resident evil then Paul Anderson by a long shot
My thoughts is that the main actress that plays Alice in the movies (Mila Jovovich) is married to the director of these movies (Paul W.S. Anderson).
My guess is that the reason that they make a new movie is because Paul W.S. Anderson forgets to give his wife an anniversary present. So her last minute anniversary gift is having another starting role in yet another Resident Evil movie. Happy Anniversary to the lovely married couple.
I'm happy with that explanation, and it seems the most reasonable.
Also I've only watched the first two, and they were alright.
I'm reading Romero's script; it's pretty good & it actually has Alpha Team and Bravo Team from the original game. Chris isn't a member of STARS, but rather Jill's boyfriend who rushes in head first to the Mansion lab. I like it.
I still can't believe they rejected Romero's script. It was faithful to the games, it was well written, it was tense, and above all it had STRONG potential to be fucking TERRIFYING.
And with how large the audience is for the RE games, the movie would have made TONS of money.
lets be real here, the only reason these movie are still made is so that the director can show of his wife
That sadly is a big part of the reason :\
Same reason Michael Bay keeps making movies: People go see them.
What I don't get is everyone complaining about stuff but then paying money to go see it anyway. I haven't watched a single of those RE movies because it's pretty obvious they suck.
At least Michael Bay HAS GOOD SHOTS. The original Transformers had some incredible CGI that puts Marvel to shame.
THERE ARE NO SUCH SHOTS IN ANDERSON'S CRAP
If capcom went with Romero's idea, these movies would have never happened. I only enjoy the first two films, the rest of them are awful movies. They should have stoped at apocalypse, but no paul w.s anderson had to keep his wet dream alive by making more movies. No matter what anderson says, these movies have nothing to do with the games, mila is a decent actress when she is not playing alice. I truly feel sorry for her because she has to continue to make these movies and these movies ruin her reputation as an actress that can be taken seriously. I hope the latest movie will be the last one, and they need to reboot the movie series. I think that s.d perry should write the script since she did an amazing job on those resident evil books, and i think that brian de palma would be a great choice for the director. Paul anderson needs to screw off and leave resident evil alone.
How dare you have an opinion!
One of the only film series that actually NEEDS a proper reboot.
THIS! MY GOD, THIS!
They should call the rebooted movies Biohazard
Noot Yu Too bad the original RE movie maker didn't make it, George A. Romero.
Noot Yu He was suppose to do it, had a script ready and even made the live-action trailers for RE2. Then when he showed to to Capcom they supposedly 'didn't like the script.'
BigBoxGamer
Capcom really shouldn't be allowed to say what's "good" or "bad" at this point, they've only proven time and time again as of late that they have no clue in that regard, be it their games or adaptations of their franchises.
That's insane! How can they keep making them?! I was so sure nobody watched the last one that came out!
The movies are pretty low budget under 100 million and they make way over 100 million in theaters alone. Until they stop making money they may never quit.
only28dayslate I think there was a giant building, with some russia stuff, and maybe some zombies and/or soldiers
*****
Thank you! That is exactly why they keep making em!
*****
So, that's it, then. Other movies are so bad that these look good when compared. That's depressing.
Raging Golden Eagle
So it's the Uwe Boll factor at work? Then again he got his as a tax right-off because they would fail, but you mean to tell me that they spend so little in production that no matter how terrible the movie is it still makes money back? XD
Those CGI movies sh!ts on the live action movies EVERYTIME. Those movies are the only things I like about Resident Evil now.
And when they use slo-mo in the CGI movies, it actually looks cool.
The line was definitely crossed when they killed Barry.
The best thing of ALL these movies is JILL VALENTINE from second movie
Slayerba a
she WAS yummy indeed /growl
Agreed
Jill saying "F#$k me" and smoking, also barely did anything and she was good?!
Think about it again...
They ruined her
I really don't understand what's so hard about making films based on video games, instead of writing new shitty scripts altogether. Same thing happened to Silent Hill, along with many other terrible video game adaptations, and it was garbage.
Till this day, only Tomb Raider and Ace Attorney are the only good ones. Especially Ace Attorney.
zhaoyun255 Tomb Raider was shit. If anything, the only two good movies are Ace Attorney and the first Mortal Kombat movie.
What do you think of the Sly Cooper teaser trailer for the movie? No one's really talked about it...
Hasselhoff Andretti No opinion on that until the movie is out. Sames goes for the Ratchet and Clank movie.
It's because hollywood directors are trying to make something that they feel will appeal to the mass market, they think in dollar signs, not in artistic visions.
+AlphaOmegaSin : You do realize that Milla Jovovich is the director's wife?
There you have the reason why these movies will keep happening.
She's in everything he does and their both worse off for it. Well i assume he is. I know she was in several movies i liked but of course nothing recent.
I cannot wrap my head around the fact that George Romero wrote a script for a RE movie and Capcom turned it down?
According to what I've read, Capcom rejected Romero's film script because they said ''Romero's script wasn't good, so Romero was fired.'' Yeah, not like Paul W.S Anderson he's way better. With his shitty scripts, shitty effects, shitty direction and piece of shit actors are way better for the Resident Evil license then getting the godfather of Zombie movies to direct your films. 'Good job!'
Well, there is one other thing -- Paul W S Anderson went to the studio saying: "I have a script and want to do a Resident Evil movie!" And the Studio said: "You want to do a Resident Evil movie? We were looking to make one ourselves!" And because of that, I believe the green-light of the first movie, his version, was much more easily obtained than it normally would have been.
The George A. Romero directed commercials for the Japanese market are more faithful to the games than the movies are xD
The Silent Hill movies were treated with so much more respect than the Resident Evil films. And they are both horrible.
Oh god I remember when the first one came out and I saved my fuckin childhood money to go watch it and I was so excited like "Oh my god there's an actual movie from my favorite horror game oh and its 16+ its has to be way scarier than the game ".. I still can't forget the disappointment that was drawn on my face after watching...It seems like Capcom were targeting The Matrix fanbase or whatever movie was a hit back then!! I gave the first and the third movie a chance and now I'm done, I'm not even curious to check the second one.
On the other hand Degeneration and Damnation are awesome! we need more of those canonical CG movies!
You're not alone, I had jammed to the soundtrack quite a bit and was all excited, saw it and was like well....uh....fuck.....(Told myself it wasn't bad, even bought it on DVD) Then rewatched it a few times with friends and yeah it became painfully evident it wasn't too good
AlphaOmegaSin That's a good point though, at least we got some cool music from it, if nothing fucking else...
The first one was at least watchable. You got to give it that.
cg only movies are the fucking shit! always better made in EVERY situation everyone wish's game trailers where at least 40 mins
you could just loop the Resident Evil 2 commercial for 90 minuets and that would be a better Resident Evil movie -_-
I wouldn't mind that at all by comparison
I don't understand how the writers for these films were handed, in a goddamn gift wrapped box, so much lore and monsters and story, and yet managed to just completely turn it into the most tacky Mary sue storyline to date in a horror series. How do you fuck up that bad?
Glad they finally stopped!
But on the topic of things that I didn't want to stop - Hopefully AlphaOmegaSin's channel starts making uploads again one day!
They didn't even stop
They are making a another one that is a prequel and not directed by Paul W.S. Anderson!
I really didn't understand, why Capcom not used the script of George A. Romeo... I love the japanese commercial for "Biohazard 2" game. That was 100% "Resident Evil"!!! George A. Romeo is the master for Zombie movies.
I hate the "Resident Evil" movies with Milla Jovowich...
We can all agree that "Shaun of the Dead" (correct me on my spelling) was badass. Come on.
Franchise should have died after the third film. All of them are just horrendous.
I go and watch these movies just to criticize and berate them. People get so mad at me making fun of their favorite movie lol.
They should relaunch/reboot the franchise as Biohazard and actually, you know, inspire from the games.
butthurt fanboys everywhere thumbing down the video cause they know the movies suck but cannot handle the truth
If I had enough money, I would collect every single copy of these movies on earth and every streamed video on the Internet, and erase them from this world. To hell with Anderson and Jovobitch.
Ding Dan
let me help you
Can we ever have a video game movie that follows the game exactly for a change? I means seriously...
Why not just play the game then / watch a play through?
Cause a live action wouldn't be a bad idea if it was done right.
The first movie had potential. It's the only one that even close. I agree with you 100% though. Most of the people (I know) that like the movies don't know anything about Resident Evil. I got a friend of mine to play the first game (RE-make), 15 minutes in, she says "so when do we find Alice?".
Another problem with these films is that they completely ignore the male protagonists. Where is Leon ? Where is Chris?
People who know nothing about RE keeps watching them. The cost to make a RE movie is $100m and the end up making at least $200m. So like it or not it makes money little or big so it just keeps on coming even if people hate it, but as long as its making money it will never die.
I think the only proper reaction is "god why!?"
Admittedly not a fan of the series. Didn't think the first one was complete trash, but really it did not get any better from there.
These things have been called pure trash from the start though and yet movie 6? Really!? This just isn't right.
You could make this video about Star Wars today.The Last Jedi is free on Netflicks and I still don't know if I'll watch it.
"how do you know 5 and 6 are bad if you haven't seen them"
Because our massive human brains have learnt pattern recognition.
I still can't get over the director of these shitpile movies claiming he's a big Resident Evil fan, and that he called out other game-movie directors for not understanding and respecting the source material.
But you know what depresses me more? Your rant at the end about the movies is exactly what Capcom has turned the game series itself into as well. There's no survival horror left, it's all bad, over the top, sci-fi action nonsense now. They would have to try pretty bloody hard to make up for the abomination that was RE6.
Oh and one last thing, it's a good thing you stopped at the third movie, because I caught the fourth on TV last year and it's somehow exponentially worse than the first three. Wrap your brain around that one.
I dont understand how movie corporations think their goal to make money is by making these shitty movies, instead of you know... actual good movies?
It's called money money money, and they are making plenty of it.What i'm tired of is Marvel Super Hero movies, and that new Batman movie? There have been plenty enough of them.
pathg13 Compared to these crap RE movies...those movies are excellent!
If people like them, I don't see the problem
***** I play the games and meh I dont overly hate the movies, theyre all around 4/10 to me but theyre ok to me for what they are but wouldnt pay to see them lol. Also the movies did get a friend of mine into the game series and then the CG movies
***** Yeah, I played them, just I don't care if they're making bad movies to advertise their games... I mean, there is a lot of bad music that is popular, bad popular TV shows and then bad popular movies... if they know what people likes to watch and they're making profit out of it, that's just marketing like everything else, I can't see the problem.
Yeah, they're not even THAT bad... I mean, stuff like DragonBall Evolution, Double Dragon, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat etc. were WAY worse.
RedFlameFox Except that NO ONE likes them. Like, at all.
***** You should be. (Points Finger)
Holly shit...I thought there were only 3 Resident Evil Movies.. lol
You didn't saw the 5th? Ok, Never watch it, it only tells you that EVERYTHING in the previous movies were "simulations" underground in Umbrella's lab. You know they've hit the bottom of the barrel with that kind of shitty "hey lets pretend nothing happened in all last 4 movies" idea.
At this point it's really "How much more of this series can I shit on to make my wife look cool?" Alice is a BOOOOOOOOOOOOOORING character before and AFTER having superpowers. Ditch the fanfiction movies and watch Resident Evil Degeneration and Damnation. They're great.
These are the films that never end
This shit go on and on my friend
Some people started making them not knowing what it was
And they'll continue making them forever just because...
(loop)
Kinda want this as a real song now lol Wish Shadowleggy still did the Resident Evil musicals on here lol
LOL... I think I've pulled a Charley Horse.
Dawn of the Dead remake was awesome as far as remakes go, and I love the original.
You are lucky you stopped at 3, cause the 4th one is the worst of all of them
I watched half of the 4th one. Then I fell asleep.
+Chris Critical why the hell does she have so much makeup in the 4th, shes alone,its the apocalypse wtf
She has to stand out from the zombies LMFAO!
i watched Apocalypse and i STOPPED THERE because when i watch the 3rd one IT WAS HORRIBLE but the 1 and 2 is ok because they add many references from the games but 4 to 6 is TRASHY!
How are these Resident Evil movies still producing if we don't like it at all I mean most of us
I thought the first two were decent. Every one after that sucked IMO. But those digital movies are pretty awesome, the one that takes place in an airport was pretty awesome.
watch the animated movies
Resident Evil Damnation
my cousin like this movies... he never beat RE1 and he thinks RE5 is a good game... should i say more ?
100% agree with this man. They are a massive insult to the fans that made the games popular enough to made into movies in the first place. They are "Resident Evil" in name only.
Maybe TV series "Arklay" can slowly undo a decade of rampant Resident Evil lore-rape but I'm not getting my hopes too high.
Rikk Wolf I don't think it was mainly aimed for the fans but to reach more people who might get into the RE games
+Sub Paradigm Gross.
THESE MOVIES ARE FUCKING TERRIBLE!!!!
Live Action RE movies gave me cancer. James Wan are gonna reboot em, now i'm cured.
At best the CGI Resident Evil movies are ... alright, but they're far better than the live action films.
To be fair I thought the first 2 were decent.
***** 4 Just copied the 5th game lol and I didn't see 5.
Sinister Steel Didn't see it. I also find that hard to believe as they did get more worse over time. Though 4 was better than 3 in my opinion.
Sinister Steel BECAUSE THAT MAKES THE PERFECT MOVIE RIGHT? :D
Lol ew.
I agree but in defense of the RE movies, they're way better than most video game-based movies out there.
Yeah, remember the DOOM movie lol
Hasselhoff Andretti
Benn a few years since i've seen doom and i can comfirm it was nonsensical along with bad but it was that bad... was it? I'd say the reason these movies survive is "durr... gurl!" which doom doesn't have... and if it did then it would hopefully be a bad ass Samus rip off that.... OH MY GOD SHE'S TAKING..... NO! JUST NO!!!.... my imagination of what they would do just blew my mind in the bad way.
Maybe, but still, that's not saying much.
***** I said *most* video game-based movies. The Silent Hill movie is an exception. The Resident Evil movies are way better than movies like Super Mario Bros., Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, the Uwe Boll movies, Tomb Raider, Max Payne, Doom, and Hitman.
Allie-RX The first Tomb Raider and Mortal Kombat weren't that bad (in my opinion), which is why they did well enough for a sequel. As for the sequels...we won't get into that. :) Oh, and Street Fighter's a guilty pleasure because Zangief was good comedy relief and Raul Julia's last performance as Bison was awesome!
I like the first two they were entertaining but the rest of the movies were the worst movies you could find. nonsensical as hell.
resident evil (live action)- good resident evil apocalypse- ok,watchable rest is just mega ultra dogshit.
the only reason they continue to make the resident evil movies is because the budget is actually quite small and the director and mila are married so they are a team. Small budget and feeding off resident evil fans actually make a decent profit for the studio and that is why they continue because its a safe bet that they will make a profit
Resident Evil movie reboot is happening.
Movie 1: Not bad. Enjoyable at parts and quite interesting--enjoyed the licker, personally.
Movie 2: Also not bad. It was nice to see the apocalypse in the city and a few memorable characters from the games. Not overly great and the actors were sometimes lousy, but not a bad movie.
Movie 3: Eh...quality slip here.
Movie 4: Did we get worse?
Movie 5: Most mediocre Resi Movie yet.
Movie 6: It's time that we stop making these. We could've stopped at 2 and have been fine...
The only part I liked about the last one, was when "Barry" pulled out his gun.
Ada looked good, but one fan boy moment and a fan service moment didn't make it worth full price of admission.
I'm all for a reboot!
Yeah all the movies together have a moment here and there that seem pretty neat but just aren't enough to warrant the movie in general let alone its own namesake.
Yeah, I guess. I fanboy'd heavily when I saw Barry pull out his magnum, but then Curious Case of Albert Wesker showed up somehow infected with Las Plagas or Uruboros, and I just died inside. I had read Romero's script a while ago when I used Capcom Unity. Sure it's a little different, but I still prefer it over Anderson's excuse to show off his wife.
+AlphaOmegaSin I like your beard Bro...
I like how you used quotation marks on "Barry" *LMAO ;)*
These moments feel like Anderson just googled who character is popular and what his signature thing and nothing else ...and just tosses them in the movie to get more gaming audience to see it...It is just a pathetic attempt.
I didn't even watch the vid and already I can say that resident evil in general needs a reboot.
Noot Yu I meant the video game series.
Noot Yu Reboot back into being a Resident Evil game. Along with the fact that the storyline has become pretty shitty now and makes it impossible to revert without a franchise reboot. This is because the C-Virus, Oroboros, Las Plaga exist in the universe and it wouldn't make sense for someone in the storyline not to use them. And, use what is considered a failure in the storyline in the T-Virus and G-Virus compared to those more complete viruses, or parasite. The reboot is required in order to make the T-Virus and G-Virus be the only viruses to exist again in the franchise storyline. Then if they do it right, I wouldn't mind them reintroducing the C-Virus in the classic RE setting.
Noot Yu As far as the game goes right now since the gameplay change was bound to happen. Since after RE3 many people during the time were demanding it. I would prefer the gameplay style from Resident Evil 4: The Hooked Man Edition.
That very first Resident Evil film was merely okay as sort of a one-time-view novelty item, in the same vein as that live action Super Mario film from the early 90s. Beyond that, it's shite. The whole series is.
Those CG films are the actual characters and RE universe, not some shitty cast trying to portray Jill and Wesker and Barry and etc. That's why those are far superior. Not to mention Damnation aptly ties in between 5 and 6, and is a wonderful entry in the series.
I stopped looking forward to the RE movies after the 3rd movie. They really jumped the shark in that one. Me and my bestfriend went to see the third movie and at the end we couldn't believe the horrible ending. The average fan of the movie series might think its awesome to see a bunch of Alice clones ready to join the real Alice to take down Umbrella but all I could think about was hows the next movie gonna put up with several Alice's running around??
Next movie they kill off all the Alice's after a beginning action sequence. What was the point to that! :P
I stopped after the 3rd one, the second one was dumb too.
I hate the live movies, they sucked so much ass.
I'd watch Geroge Romero's version ANYDAY, his movies rock.
Snyder's DotD remake was excellent, I don't know how you didn't like it. It did what a remake is supposed to do: tell a new story with the same general concept. Romero's trilogy stands on its own, no faithful remake would ever be able to one-up it, so why try? Snyder gave us fast zombies, which was revolutionary and is now the standard. Don't hate, appreciate.
You want to know the scary part?
I know people who like the movies
And they've never played a fucking Resident Evil game
Not
A
Single
Fucking
One
Slap, Slap, Slap, Clap, Clap, Clap!
That's my jam
I think you need to revisit this and talk about one crucial thing...
These movies ruined the video games and book series.
The books and games were actually fucking GREAT until the movies came along, then they kind of switched to a SHIT FUCKING AUDIENCE.
Alice is a Mary Sue just like Rey on the New Star Wars movies 😆
These are my guilty pleasure, can not disagree with your opinion but I still watch them.
It's cool man everyone has those guilty pleasure movies that they know suck ass but get a kick outta them regardless. Mine are mainly old cheesy horror movies like the ones they make fun of on Mystery Science Theater 3000
AlphaOmegaSin Yea, I watched MST 3000 and laugh how I watched all those movies and will still watch them when I can catch a late night flick. Good vids keep it up!
+Liber8 To be fair the first 2 arent terrible
+Mike Jones Are you out of your damn mind? The first two are the worst RE movies specially the second one. Resident evil is a horror game. You know!!! you open doors, you hear the ominous music, zombies foot steps, dog foot steps, and you know they are there. You don't have enough ammo you are scared. there is tension in every corner. you feel trapped the whole time. the relive you feel when you enter a typewriter room. It has been 10 years since the last time I played RE1 and I still remember it. Resident evil 2 as you make your way to the police station you hear the zombies moaning, you see the desolation, the mutilated bodies, everything is a mess, and its not going to get any better because this is just the beginning of your fucking nightmare. This is resident evil girls with caring personalities, cool guys and bad guys, excellent environments, and twists are plenty. Omg there are zombies in this mansion, Omg there is a secret lab under it, Omg wesker is a traitor, Omg Barry is going to let wesker kill me... after all we've been through what a dick!!! This movies are shit specially the fucking first. I remember being a kid asking myself Oh man!! we only have 10 minutes of movie left where the fuck is Jill, chris, Wesker, barry, tyrant, and who the fuck is Alice? then there is the second film where NEMESIS gets Pussyfied. I remember watching him karate fighting that skinny ugly bitch. I was like omg WTF is this, power rangers????. I remember it very well because I spent all my money to force my family to go watch this motherfucking movie. I invited everybody, so they can see RE. I was like... Now you are going to watch a master piece. My good Lord everybody was laughing in the theater as Jill comes in the room shooting everybody in the head for no reason because nobody knew what the hell was going on, but she did... How??? all I knew is that, everybody was making fun of my childhood, my memories, and I was aware that the movie was shit. I was so little and innocent. I cried so damn fucking hard as the Nemesis was being reduced to the level of a gay motherfucking man. I watched, mesmerized, as my hero was getting his ass handed to him by a chick, and then he cried and everybody laugh. that's when I stood up and I left the theater and I walked home with tears in my eyes and with my pockets empty. I was asking myself WTF went wrong. I didn't see the rest of those bastards, two movies were enough for me. I have RE 5 the game and I haven't finish it yet. I am not going to because it hurts my brain playing that shit. I haven't spent anymore money on this franchise. Its over my amigos..... Its over!!!!! FUck you paul w ass under-son. you are not a good director, you are fucking shit. I could have directed the RE movies and make a shitty movie out of it and still make a lot of money. its RESIDENT FUCKING evil for god sake. You are the worst director ever!!, You ruined the AVP movies for everybody. how the hell can you fuck that up. well, you are a shitty director and a worst writer. If I see you in the streets I will look for any excuse to fucking punch you in the face motherfucker.
have you seen return of the living dead or shun of the dead i have a feeling you will like them and as a guilty pleasure you have too switch too a different mindset with these movies there are bad but great with beer when you know they are nothing like the games.
I'm totally on your side man. I seriously wrote a 13 page diatribe of how fucking terrible the movies were and that was when there were only THREE. I no longer pay them the respect of even saying how shitty they are.
Seeing a dragon, a fucking DRAGON, at the end of that last abortion, I lost all hope for any future movies in the franchise to be even half decent.
Dragons (and QTE's) do NOT belong in Resident Evil.
You my sir are a dumbass... Because i'm an ACTUAL fan of both the movies and the games, I can pick out the movies flaws instantly or tell what monster is which. So judging by you ignorance I can totally tell you never played Resident Evil 5 the game, in which those things weren't dragons but they were actually B.O.W.S so please stop and do your research before you say some dumb shit and don't even know what you're talking about, they weren't even dragons though. lol
amechigreen
You're the dumb shit here. When I referred to the dragons, I was talking about the thing at the very end of the last MOVIE. And if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, then it's a fucking duck. Or in this case, a dragon.
Walter White That's actually one of the flying creatures from Resident Evil 5... It's a Plaga mutation that literally tears itself out of a host's back. Not pleasant. They're call Kipepeo.
Well, you certainly got farther in that abortion of a game than I did. I just quit about an hour in because of the terrible jerky camera.
They should have just kept the same view as 4 had if they wanted to go for the generic American style action game feel.
So like I said... you my sir are a dumbass. Get your fact straight. Like I hate when people try to bring up shit about the movie and don't even know what they are talking about...
The 6th movie was announced, but on IMDB.com through my iPhone says she has signed a contract for three Resident Evil films including the 6th.
While Romero's version of the script was more true to the source material, it wasn't without its own flaws. Romero's characterizations of some characters are utterly off. Barry was a black guy. Wesker was more of a cowardly weasle like Brad Vickers than his true self. Chris Redfield was an Eagle watching Native American banging Jill on the side.
Don't get me wrong, I'd still rather watch Romero's version than Andersons, but Romero's take isn't perfect. And Romero isn't above using shitty CGI himself. He did it in Land Of The Dead, so can't say without certainty that he wouldn't have used it in his draft of RE..
II don't get what it is about Resident Evil that seems to be so damn difficult to adapt. The novelizations got it right. The conics based off the original games got it right. But the movies fucked it up horribly and even the games have forgotten how to do things right.
The Anderson line of films needs to come to an end. If Capcom cant get their shit together and wake up and realize that what they're doing is destroying one of their most valuable venues, then the RE series of games needs to die too.
brotha, seriously awesome, couldn't have said it better myself, they are a twisted infected shitshow and burn on something that we hold so close to us, what we grew up with, these movies are Fuckin sickening to watch and to hear people that say they're good or not bad...... no no stop Fuckin Stop. Atleast Silent Hill new it bombed with just 2 horrible horrible horrible movies and stopped but NOPE can't stop Alice, yeah remember how badass Alice was in Resident Evil, flipping around the mansion and then in RE2 she was doing it again, one punching Mr X....... Oh yeah that's right, SHE'S IRRELEVANT TO THE RE UNIVERSE AS ARE ALL THESE PIECES OF SHIT please please please no more.
finally! someone agrees with me that these resident evil movies suck!😀
Cindy Wooten and silent hill movies are worst
Silent Hill movies were actually pretty good.
people just want to see Milla Jovovich, that's why the movie sells so much
Sadly, this is the truth.
She was naked in almost every movie
I've not seen anymore after 2 but what you said I'm convinced I'm not missing much.
I saw 'Damnation' and I was convinced that I was watching a superior film. It must be frustrating for the directions of the CG movies to be overshadowed by more mediocre films.
These crappy RE movies can keep being cranked out but we can't get a decent RE game...smh!
the reason why the live action movies are so bad is because they arnt based off the games. thats why the cgi movies will always be better.
Frankly i love them to bits. Yes they are not perfect, but they make great marathon viewing material.
I agree. I liked Extinction, because she wasn't invincible and just trying to stay alive as well as protect the little girl whom thought Alice was her mother.
ShadowArtist lol thats Retribution.
For a good Marathon I take the Lord of the Rings, Mad Max or the Planet of the Apes, so…nah
Yeah I love them too. I know they're not good, but I think that's what makes it fun to watch. and I'm sorry, but the CGI Degeneration movie was horrible. bad acting, horrible CGI, it was a wreck. But I still bought it and enjoy it. Ah well lol
George Romero's script is way better than the piece of crap we were given. its way more faithful to the source material, if a reboot is done it should be done with Romero's Script, Period. no more of this Alice Vs Umbrella Shit.
MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY!!!!
I watched the first and saw some clips from the some of the latter ones. I can happily say that I know they're shit because Alice just can't disappear, she exists to the detriment of every other character and setting.
Im surprised anyone made it past the second movie. Very lazy writing. Throw in Matrix powers, throw in comedic black guy, throw in attractive female (double check). I'm sure they had a generic list with things written like that which they were told to check off lol.
I'm clad I've only seen the first two. :D
i liked dawn of the dead (2004)
yeah 100 percent agreed (but i think zombie land was a funny movie)
k8keman95 zombieland is the best one imo
that is blasphemy the orginal from 1978 was much better than shitty ass remake/reboot
I do to
Those Resident Evil Movies are just made for Fetish guys. I stopped watching those garbage flicks after part three. I love the games, but the movies just stole time off my life.
resident evil 6 is straight ass.. gave up on it after the intro
***** The worst Thing about it, Capcom changed their Resident Evil games and tried to make them like the stupid movies. And they proudly presented us: Resident Evil 6, - the first Game from the series, that I really had to make me finish it, just because I wanted to put it behind me and never think about it again.
Was revalatons better... didnt even look at it after 6
You mean the game? Well, it was kinda back to the roots a bit, but somehow I got bored very quick by Revelations.
Konrad G. L. Was it better than 5
I understand how movies can be so bad they're good, but that doesn't apply here. These are just plain bad. I muscled my way through the first one, and tried to watch the second but couldn't get more than half way through. There's no reason to see more than one of these, let alone six.
Yo, Alpha, Thank you bro! I've been telling people these Resident Evil movies were garbage since I first saw the first two, and I'm a huge zombie fan. I love George Romero's movies and just about every other cheesy zombie movie out there. Fuck Resident Evil movies. Even the comic books that were briefly released in 2000 had better writing. 28 Days Later FO LIFE Suckas!!!
Paul W. S. Anderson and Milla Jovovich. Why continue with Resident Evil when you can make your own film. Heck, I'm confused what is so Resident Evil. The films are just fanservice, with no redeemable quality behind them. Oh sure, Leon and Barry was in the last film, that is just crap. I'd say it's just Resident Evil: The In Name Only series. It was suppose to be a horror film, no wait it's a survival horror film, no wait it's now an action horror film. Heck, Silent Hill Revelations felt like any Resident Evil film, except the CGI films tied to games but even then the games are falling into sequelitis at it's worst. I'm sorry, but the director and capcom needs to stop with Resident Evil. They could try Dino Crisis, especially the first game. But then again, the original developers (Keiji Inafune, Platinum) have left or were let go because of the continual mess of sequels, reboots and the less than popular Remember Me.
Who the hell goes to see these movies?
KnowKilotx People with a lot of free time, money and who have shut off their brains.

ye and like watching bad films eating hot pockets too often you lose ur sense of taste
Well, some of the actors are shitty, but you kind of failed at thinking in general if you think Milla is a bad actress. She is amazing, not to mention who ever played Wesker is kickass too and Michelle Rodriguez is great too.
In these movies she is terrible, but I agree, she can be a decent actress and I don't blame her for her performance here, I blame Andersen. An actor can only do so much when being led by terrible direction through an atrocious script.
Even the likes of Sean Connery can give the impression of being a bad actor in the wrong situation, just look at his performance in League of the Extraordinary Gentlemen.
Finally some one who agree with me. Thank god. And now we have Ghost in the Shell becoming a live action film. Oh how I shudder in fear
The movies were never even a resident evil film! It wasn't scary or had anything decent that the first few games had to offer, yeah it references things here and there but it doesn't make it resident evil!
Holy shit. Where can I go to purchase that shirt? That is one badass shirt!
Also, yeah, those movies are complete shit!
It's funny how RE is slowly getting more over the top than most action movies (or games) yet they still call it "horror". I mean just look at Jake from RE6. He punches Ustinov (don't remember his actual name and I'm too lazy to look it up) into the lava. He punches a BOW from THAT size and weight, sending it flying backwards off the platform. That is something I would expect Gene from God Hand to do. Also it's funny how he seems totally confident that he can defeat that thing bare handed. And THAT is what's wrong with RE in my opinion.
It's not the controls, it's not about the no longer fixed camera angles. It's the complete lack of atmosphere and everything that makes a horror movie or game.
I mean how much horror would Friday 13th be if the characters would just Kung Fu Samba Jasons ass?
That's what I said when RE4 was released. I just kicked hooded sith zombie-ish creatures down stairs... I kicked'em. Bought the game in a cheap magazine who gives some free titles sometimes here where I live, spent most of it laughing instead of been afraid of anything. It's crazy how so many things doesn't make sense like the seller outside the boss room, even with all the problems in the path, locked doors, monsters blocking the way, puzzles and so on. So he sells me a rocket launcher and "it's fine". How can people still call it Resident Evil?

When RE4 came out back during the PS2/ GameCube days I really loved it because Leon was so kewl... I was 16 back then. Looking back at RE4 now I totally agree with you.
Superhuman characters and horror do not mix IMO. For the player to feel threatend the character he's playing as has to be vulnerable. Why should I be scared by those villagers if I can bash their heads with my allmighty roundhouse kick? Why should I be scared of those angry looking villagers at all?
It's all about money. If the movie earns tons of money for a pittance of production, why not? Fuck the fans.

You got through three? Props man, I rage quit after the first one. That shit was terrible.
They're on 6 now? I stopped caring after the 2nd.
