Review of Resident Evil (2002) by Stephp — 02 Oct 2008
As far as regular old zombie movies go it was mediocre at best. when I first watched it I had no idea that it was a video game as well and I actually thought the movie was okay. now i've almost completed RE0 and read S.
D. Perry's 7 books on it and I had finally found out that the movies do, in fact, suck. they're an abomination, a disgrace to what RE stood for in the games; the acting was terrible, there was none of the monsters in the movies save for a couple.
none of the characters were even in the movies; Alice is just a cheap Mary-Sue who probably only got into the movies because she was with the director. as far as i'm concerned the movie was made in hollywood to only make a quick buck and nothing else; the people who decided to do the movie like this are nothing more than selfish, money-hungry assbags.
now, I know what the few fans of these awful movies are going to say "don't like it, don't watch" well ya know what? if I had ANY idea of how terrible these movies actually were BEFORE watching I never would have! So disappointed.
..and I HATE Paul bloody Anderson for screwing up the franchise...i only hope that Karma comes back and chews his self-centered ass out...Milla's too. Too bad Romero's script wasn't chosen instead- apart from Chris being a farmer (!!) it sounded excellent when I read the script.
Total let down, one of mine, and a lot of other people's, biggest disappointments.
