You continue to accurately express everything I hate about these movies.They are most definitely THAT bad.
Take a story that was initially about an evil corporation's horrible experiments, set in a creepy mansion with a lot of scary stuff going down, suspense, great characters, plot twists, villains and a great ending...
Not to mention the epic sequels and other stories of the classic franchise....And then just throw all of that away...
And instead... make a movie about some super chick who was NEVER in the games, make the corporation a lame shadow of what it is in the games, make the characters paper thin and forgettable, add in a bunch of crazy (not scary in the slightest) stuff that has nothing absolutely to do with the game franchise... and you have Resident Evil the movie.
And then make 2 sequels that only barely touch the games, but only at first...before spinning off into lala land for the third film. And you have a crap ass franchise that should have been aborted before the first frame was ever shot.
I love Milla, don't get me wrong. And I am all for strong female characters in film. But these movies insult true Resident Evil fans, and most of all...they insult intelligent people all over the world with their inept storytelling and horrendous plots.
STFU ELI!!!

You rock Ill, we are usually right on the same page. Glad to see that I am not alone in this.
As someone stated earlier, the failure of these films isn't just on account of the lack of connection with the games or the storyline there. It's also that it completely loses any of the qualities that come with the genre at all.
As a zombie movie, it lacks the suspense and human drama that is so important to that genre. Even Shaun of the Dead, which is basically a comedy, manages to brilliantly merge the drama and fear with the comedy...which gave us a magnificent film and cult hit. The RE movies fail miserably on the Z front.
Even the zombies themselves lack menace and don't add to a single gram of fear throughout the entire 3 film lineup.
As an action film, they push the limits too far into camp. Alice is too extremely powerful, which doesn't mesh well with the games or real life... so where does it fit? Nowhere. Which is why it fails.
As a drama, it lacks acting talent and characters you give a damn about.
On the story level, things change so dramatically from film to film that you don't feel a overall continuity to the "saga", if you can stomach even saying that.
So in summation, it is a complete failure to not only RE fans... but zombie fans, action fans, and anyone who enjoys riveting intelligent horror.
Not alone on telling me to STFU? Bah! I noticed you didn't delete the STFU Eli portion of his quote. I get it.. stfu.
Here's a Resident Evil script by George A Romero; full of Barry, Chris, Jill, and Wesker. Haven't read it, but I'll read it later

Chris is changed a lot, but it's still better than the Anderson garbage
But to each his own

I don't think they were that bad at all. I just see them as zombie movies. For those who compare them to the game I guess I can understand but I don't. It's hard for some ppl to get past what something is based on if it isn't as good. Like I hate RZ's Halloween but the love the first. I can't even see it as a stand alone movie cause I'm such a huge fan of the first
thats what I was saying. they arent the best movies out there, but fun entertainment. better than watching paint dry.
I'd rather watch paint dry and submit myself to any torture that DarkArtist can dream up than watch any of these atrocities again.Thank You.
