I really loved the first Resident Evil movie. It was a self-contained story set within the universe that didn't mess with the main story arc. I even liked Apocalypse, even though they messed a little with the main story. I forgave it though, largely because Nemesis was pretty badass, and the actress that played Jill Valentine was gorgeous.
Then Extinction and Afterlife happened, and it was at that point I stopped considering them Resident Evil movies, and enjoyed them as regular zombie flicks. Now, we have the "final" installment with Resident Evil: Retribution, which looks like a giant mess that's crapping all over the story they created.
Based on the debut trailer here, it looks like none of the past Resident Evils movies happened, it was all in Alice's head. Characters that you thought died in the first movie are well and alive, the world didn't actually end, and they're trying to bring back spinning hubcaps (2:07). On the plus side, Jill is back in her brainwashed form as seen in Resident Evil 5, and Leon and Ada are finally introduced to the movie franchise. Interestingly, Chris and Claire Redfield are nowhere to be seen in the trailer.
So there you go, another freaking Resident Evil movie. And guess what? It's going to pull in a ton of money. The films have made over $675 million worldwide, with the last movie alone pulling in $296 million alone.
Thats funny cuz i totally hated the first 2 movies but i loved 3 and 4 and this one looks awesome.
Originally i didnt like the first movie cuz the game was so much better story wise. Second movie same thing for me. Then i finally accepted for it was and just went for the entertainment. 4 was my favorite one so far.
So so bad....struggling to find the words to describe how shit this looks. But it looks like the games & movies are on the same page now, so there's that I guess.....
When does ZombieU come out? Lol
Wait... If it shows the end of the fourth movie... Um... And Carlos at the beginning...?
What the hell? I have no idea what's going on, now. I assumed the return of Rain meant they cloned her, or something. That's totally lame if the past movies were simulated, or whatever
I thought the last one was terribad... I mean, shit like Claire wall jumping over the giant, sliding what seemed to be 50 yards on her knees, and even though they didn't cut the scene, the giant was no were near the wall, and 3-4 of them holding their breath underwater for close to 10 minutes while trying to get to the lower floor...
No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no. That's my reaction to the movie. There would be one more now, but Michelle Rodriguez is in it, but I won't spend my money for this.
I also liked the first movie, probably because of its stand-alone, hardly interfering nature, and think the campiness of the second is bearable in the same way Mortal Kombat is (though to a lesser degree).
What the fuck happened after that? The same goes with the Resident Evil game plot once it got to Code Veronica. Guess they jumped the sharks together.
I've hated all of the Resident Evil films. And it's not even the fact that they are nothing like the games that annoys me. It's just the fact that they are terrible films with ridiculous plots, terrible acting and some of the worst action sequences in modern cinema. Seriously I want this film series to die. I'm totally pumped for Resi 6 though.
Why the fuck do people pay for these movies? WHY!?
Don't these fucking retarded consumers know that they are encouraging these fucktarded filmmakers that make these retard movies.
And you keep on seeing these shitty movies in fucking 3D. Let the gimmick die already! Let fucking videogame movies die already! Black list every fucking body who appears in these Resident Evil movies.
They never fucking stop*starts crying* with these shittastic movies, and the crappy format. People never take the time to make movies actually look good in 3D, like Avatar.
*sniffle*
You sheeps keep throwing your hard earned money at them. Don't spend your money on these crappy shits. If you must see them, please *cough* pirate them.
You know I used to hate these movies, they just didn't fit with the games.
But now? I don't give a shit, Capcom has fucked up the franchise a lot more than these movies ever will, if Paul Anderson wants to keep sticking his wife as an all powerful mary sue, fuck it, I don't have to watch it.
..... Which theaters are starting to charge more for normal tickets to subsidize..... which in turn has me going to fewer movies than ever :P
Not that I have bothered with seeing any of the rez evil movies in theaters and the first one was a pre-screening so I'm not even sure that "counts".
The whole cliche zombies in the graveyard in the second movie relegated the remainder to DVD rentals at best. So they can't really disappoint me because I'm not expecting ANYTHING :P
I still uphold my stance that these movies should be treated as hilarious fan-fiction with awesome special effects and action sequences. Seriously, that last one was more entertaining than most action flicks these days. Bring on Retribution!
Yay! They're dumb and they've finally recognised it. They clearly didn't give a shit when making this, they just threw everything they had at it. Half those characters died in previous films! This looks brilliant. Total shit, but brilliant total shit. Turn your brain off, grab some snacks and a beer and you'll probably have a good time.
Ok, I think I'm alone in this, again: I hate the first movie in spite of having both Milla Jovovich and Michelle Rodriguez. The second movie movie was one of the best action movies I've ever seen in spite of having Nemesis. The third movie helped me sleep like a baby.
