It had some good moments, like the fight in the early stage of the movie where Alice go Matrix style on a 1 vs 25 or so.

But seriously, why was Leon such a fag in the movie !? He's the most badass character in the game series.

This.... the moment Leon was such a fag it killed every hope of good action for me on this franchise... so fucking stupid to completly ignore the most bad ass character in the games only cause you want alice to own all the shit....

Sp i just watched this movie yesterday, and I come to realise, RE movie franchise is getting worse and worse. The movie has some nice scenes, but thats all. (Loved the intro!!)


However I've been thinking, if we (RE games fans) couldn't write a well structured plot and send it to hollywood or something. It hurts my heart to watch RE legacy being corrupted like this
It's all about the reflections of freedom. Even though he hoped for a better world, with all his strenght, all his will, the most he could do was to make her smile.

I can't believe how with each movie in this franchise they still manage to be worse than the predecessor, and considering Retribution's success at the box office (3d zombies = $$$) there will be more... This is easily one of the worst movies in recent memory

No. It falls under the category "unwatchable". I couldn't stand the constant stream of feces that was pouring out of the screen at me.

The only good thing about it was the fact that I didn't watch it in the cinema as I would just leave the theater after 10 minutes or so, completely enraged.

It's funny seeing the last 5 or so comments saying they just recently watched this, seeing as the biggest scene releases (DVDRip) came out just yesterday.

^ Typical minority opinion; also known as the most common misconception amongst those who actually played the games. I agree with you 100%, but the movie franchise rakes in more money with each movie they make. It really puts things in perspective.

As a loyal fan of the RE games, Paul Anderson's retconning characters of like Barry and Leon was so obviously done to attempt to tie it to the game franchise it was almost painful. Besides, didn't Jill state in one of the earlier movies that she personally witnessed Leon's death? I could mistaken, but I'm almost positive she mentions that in the second film. In any, the action scenes were laughably overdone and purely CGI showboating. Evidently I'm in the minority however, as a bunch of my friends and coworkers thought it was an amazing piece of cinematography. Bleh.

lol I found the bold part rather funny - though I would not even watch it IF it were free. The latest RE movies are indeed abysmal(pretty much all the big movie review portals say so...), and a disgrace to the whole franchise - which generally is pretty cool.

I saw this movie, it's not at all as bad as people say it is, but what I was annoyed about was the sound effects, that part was easily the worst thing. It's like, every time someone even got graced, it sounded like all their bones was broken, but they still kept fighting like normal.

Also, the end scene was basicly like a scene they would have in starcraft with Terran versus Zerg it really reminded me so much about starcraft and not resident evil - mostly because that while zombies was still there, there was also these creatures that reminded me of mutalisks :/

It's highly entertaining garbage. Every second was like feeling my brain cells individually commit suicide, but I think that's why I enjoyed it more and more by the end. I couldn't stop poking holes in the plot to the point I just had to accept everything I was seeing. By the end...

+ Show Spoiler +
Michelle Rodrigez is turned into a Las Plagas, which apparently means you learn Kung Fu faster than Neo himself. Something about those palm strikes to the heart was just so incredibly fucking stupid that it was perfect.


Even the horrid betrayals toward the original video game become hilarious. Leon is a giant pussy. In trying to Americanize Leon they kind of ruined him, you'd never think he was a total badass. Barry even being alive in anachronistic, but I was happy to see him. He even had a badass revolver, so glad they at least got that right. Jill looks silly as hell all the time, especially in gunfights. Wesker flops hard. Alice is meh, as Resident Evil protagonists go she's alright, it's just everything they tell her to do is not very REish. A lot of the suspense from the games came from how limited everything was. The movies seem unrestricted, which is a strong reason they're so bad, yet manage to entertain. There was never a button for throwing your weapon into the air, doing a crazy looking backflip jack knife kick, catching the weapon in the pose you will kill the zombie in, kill the zombie, and then move to a different pose that incorporates said weapon and transitions to a sweet strut. Ok, maybe some QTE sequence somewhere is like that, but let's not be nit picky.

I am happy to know I wasn't the only one thinking this. As it ended I really felt like I was playing some survive the swarm custom game. This franchise has gone in a really strange direction. I could have never imagined we'd end up at this point when I played the first game.

Couldn't agree more. The movie was just so bad that it made me forget the whole franchise even exits. *clearly i'm exaggerating, but i can't stress enough how bad movie was*

there is nothing "resident evil" about the movie. Resident evil is a horror game and the movies are purely action. It's so sad, what the franchise has come to. I have to admit that even the 1st and 2nd movies had some jumpy moments in them. This movie is basically something else. An action movie, not a resident evil movie. I can understand why many people say it's the worst movie they saw. Probably because the plot was very bad and the lame ways they try to squeeze characters from the game into the movie.
