The movie, Resident Evil, directed by Anderson...

I think that people would like it a lot better, if they had watched the movie, and then played the game. Then they wouldn't have had such high expectancies whilst watching it. The movies are always going to be worse than the video game.

I think the first film wasn't so bad as a film based on the video games. It was when Apocalypse and Extinction were released that I thought there were terrible, because they tried to combine film canon with game canon and it didn't work for me.

[Weskers Flag]

I think some of the people from the video games they could have kept in there, like Jill Valentine and Nemesis, the ones that were actually based off of the characters from the game.
But, as for the ones that they just used the names for; Albert Wesker, Carlos Olivera, Nikolai Junaphoef (yes, I spelled that wrong) Ashford, etc.
They could have done without.

The main issue I have with the movies is they're essentially mutli million dollar fan fiction. The first one is alright, because while Alice is clearly the main character the whole thing doesn't revolve around her like she has gravity or something. It sucked, since it was about as scary as small fish tank and more people died to lazy beams than zombies, but it was the best of the three.

But the next too, and especially Apocalypse...oi. Behold! Nemesis, the most power and feared monster in RE history, getting beaten by a small woman with tiny arms! Behold Nemesis turned good! Behold him die in flames, easily. And then there were Carlos and Jill...not that it, you know, made much difference. They were mostly there to be in awe of Alice.

In fact, the whole story is sliced and diced and characters forced as far into the background to make more room for Alice. And that really killed it for me.

As for Extinction...given the poor plot and, once again, a whole world of Alice I'm sure I don't need to make my feelings too clear.

That and the talking Tyrant. It made me laugh. A Tyrant should not be laughable. It should be scary. And I only watched it the once - didn't he have a Licker-type tounge?

I will forever curse the day the first RE movie came out. After that it didn't matter anymore. They made RE more popular, but in a really bad way. Still, any popularity is good. But I do hate the movies. So much.

[Canas Renvall]

They're not ruining the game canon like RE4 did (though RE5 looks to be trying to move away from that, thankfully), so I don't have a problem with them. They're campy, fun action movies with a silly plot. Just like RE4 is a campy, fun action game with a shitty plot.

[Daargoth]

to me the first movie was artistically made. Anderson behind the camera is much better than Anderson the writer

Oh for heaven's sake...

Hey, I said it looks like RE5 is moving away from that trainwreck of a plot, I'm being fair. XP

You sure did say what you said, didn't you?

See my name, I have no more to say.

RE: Extinction pissed me off more than the other two. I hated everything about it. I thought the first two strayed to far from the games, but boy oh boy...
