That is, if Leon is played by Jensen Ackles. He's the only person I know and like that can pull off Leon's utter cockiness from RE4. Except you know, he also has a soul and isn't an emotionless Terminator.

They aren't "bad" movies. A decent watch for anyone, the only thing really wrong with them is that they have the Resident Evil logo attached to them so people take them more seriously than they should, which is understandable, they have a lot to live up to!
I for one am happy to see them throw Leon into it... well sort of. I know there going to ruin him so not looking forward to that as much.Last edited by Raegan; 09-19-2011, 01:43 PM.

Ah well... Can't say I have much more for Leon now. Damn.

The thing about Anderson's movies, to me, is not that he doesn't take enough inspiration from the games. It's that he takes inspiration from the wrong aspects: namely, the gameplay.
Listening to the commentary on the first movie, it's all about things like recreating the fixed camera angles from the games, or even the fact that dead enemies disappeared when you left a room and returned to it. Nowhere is this more apparent than in Afterlife, with scenes and enemies ripped straight out of Resident Evil 5 without giving any story explanation as to why they're in the movie. They just are.
This creates a twofold problem. Fans of the games will get the references, but they will inevitably be upset, because the references are tossed into the movie out of context. On the other hand, for people who have never played the games, they'll be left confused and wondering why Anderson seems so intent on still aping The Matrix about a decade later. They won't know that these particular scenes (or monsters, as in the case of the Executioner) are actually taken from the games.
It leads to a real lack of cohesion in the films, and not solely because of Anderson's questionable writing and directorial talents.Last edited by Archelon; 09-19-2011, 04:26 PM.

The only movie Anderson has ever been involved in that I enjoyed was the original Mortal Kombat, as it was pretty close to the game's "plot." But RE is a whole different beast, and he has taken this series farther and farther into the crapper with each new film. The first movie was decent compared to rest, mainly because it didn't butcher the games in the way the others did.Mass production? Ridiculous!
