Watched this last night, and words cant even explain how terribad it is.

as a hardcore fan of the original video games (resident evil 2 on playstation? still one of my favourite games ever) i actually feel, betrayed by this. I just felt i needed to vent this in the hope that others felt just as violated

THANKS! =D
 
There are a few nods to the fans but mainly orientated towards the later games rather than any of the originals.

I saw it in 3D and really enjoyed it, just a fun action flick not to be taken too seriously with great action/effects/soundtrack and of course Milla Jovovich ;)
 
Yup. Ditch the idea that this is supposed to be 'like the games' or faithful to them and just enjoy them for what they are. Zombies, guns, slow-mo sequences and a little sprinkling of details taken from the Resident Evil story.

But surely the cringe worthy acting and dialogue from the "boss" was enough to make sick come up to your mouth?
 
I watched it for funsies anyway, plus Milla Jovovich is in it so I'd watch it anyway, crap or not :D
 
It was dreadful, on every level, even if you managed to ignore the HUGE failure of logic and massive plot holes and continuty errors, there was only a very poor story for them to be hung on.
Tack on poor acting, uninspiring set pieces, dire script and shoddy CGI and there isnt a lot left to enjoy.

Same here :)

I don't get why some people take films so seriously sometimes (not on about anyone here)
My friends for example all team up and **** everything off big time like film critics. Films are supposed to be fun really not too serious. They have even walked out of cinema's 15 minutes into a film. I mean whats the point in that? You might as well watch the film as you have paid for it.
Personally I think they are just like sheep. They can't have an opinion of their own :)

No, what you mean is you dont value their opinion, because they dont agree with you.

Like sheep would.

No I don't. If you'd see the way they go on about it you would see what I mean honestly. They just go way over the top. By the way I am not like that either and I do value other people's opinions.
Can't honestly understand why you have said this as I am not like that at all.
 
Thought it was ok plenty of nods towards the game, wouldnt of minded a longer wesker battle but apart from that a decent 90 mins of pop corn movie much like the others :) bring on the next one i say....
 
Honestly surprised how many people defended it, take the games out of the equation completely. I can't NOT notice how bad the plot is and how ridiculous every turn these films take, alice, worked for umbrella (fair enough), she's infected with it and gets super powers (okay....) Ninja clones? no sorry, i'm out.

The ninja clones carried on from the last one and tied up that part/ending of the 3rd one so its not like they appeared out of nowhere :o
You didnt like it fair enough we all have our choices and opinions....

But that IS their opinion, and you dont value it, which is why you are deriding what they say and do.

If you did, you wouldnt of mentioned what they did in the first place as there is no issue there.
 
Haven't seen this one, but enjoyed the first 3 as mindless zombie action movies with a pretty girl lead. I liked the Underworld movies for almost the exact same reasons.
 
Oh cool it's Wentworth Miller! Wait a minute... he's a prisoner in a prison? WAIT! He is offering to help break out of the prison in order to be be free from his prison?

Yo dawg I herd u like Prison Break so we put a prison within a prison so you can watch Scofield prison break while he prison breaks.
