Just saw Resident Evil

Hey, read the original post. I said it was worth seeing, just not worth paying $8-$10. See it during a matinee. I also love the Resident Evil games, you could tell who the game fans were in the audience. When the movie ended it was the opening sequence to the original vid game and all the gamers in tha audience kinda reacted by laughing. I hope that does not spoil it for anyone else, sorry.

I stand by my initial complaint.......this movie was extremely loud!!! There were several scenes where I could not make out what was being said due to movie background noise. Could just be the theater I saw it in.
 
I can honestly say that I am ashamed to have paid money to see this last night. It was without a doubt, one of the worst pieces of trash to ever make its way onto the big screen.

First off, I was always under the impression that a zombie movie is supposed to be bloody. It seems that I am wrong. I guess the proper way to direct a zombie movie is to simply cut the camera everytime something happens. It is also evident that the best way to film the final scene is to simply throw the camera around so nobody can see how low your effects budget actually is.

Second, the acting/writing. Come on, I don't even think I need to comment here. If you have half a brain in your head and actually saw the movie you will know what I am talking about. I guess it was actually supposed to be a comedy since I laughed my ass off during it.

I could really go on and on about this sh*t stain on the underware of American cinema but it really dosen't deserve that much of my attention. I already lost an hour and a half of my life to this garbage.

All I can say is that if you want to see how the movie should have been, go download the George Romero script. It is out there floating around. That would have ruled. Oh well.

That's the movie with Vin Diesel right?

Edit: Yep, I guess so. That movie was rockin'. I remember seeing it on DVD on a friends big screen.

there is a n unrated version of it with a dts soundtrack
 
I thought it was good for the genre ( a turn off the brain sci/horror flick)


Milla made it 50X better than the time machine and 1500X better than 13 Ghosts

That's the version I plan on buying, but I'm a little confused by the unrated part... What the hell did they add? IIRC it was pretty tame for an R, violent, but pretty tame.

Well . . . I saw the movie, so I feel that I can weigh in.

In some aspects, the movie was like the game - in others, it wasn't. Whereas the game featured only one or two people against hordes of zombies, this was more like "Aliens" with zombies. That was fine, because the games, to me, had that cheezy atmosphere that most stuff that's been translated into English from Japanese seems to get. 😉 One annoyance was the way that the team burned through their ammo shooting zombies in the legs and chest, and only had a pistol with 16 rounds left when they figured out to shoot them in the head - duh. That's something my dad learned in boot camp - "Two in the chest, one in the head, will make a guy lay down dead."

I don't get the gripes about the cinematography being too much like the Matrix. Yeah, there were a couple of homages, but for the most part the cinematography was very, very good, and very stylish. I liked it quite a bit. The movie also did not seem loud to me.

As far as the acting goes - Romero's Dawn of the Dead is regarded as a modern classic, and the acting was a hell of a lot better in Resident Evil. I had no problem there.

The ending was spec-frickin-tacular. John Carpenter would have been proud. 😀 I love movies that end like that. They also set it up perfectly for the sequel.

By no means does this get classified as a modern classic, but it was very entertaining and creepy.

I really looked forward to seeing Pitch Black. I was extremely disappointed when I watched it. I absolutely hated the movie. 🙁

Sorry for the bump of a dead thread but instead of having people yell at me for a "repost" I figured I'd resurect this one... Just got home from the movies.. Resident Evil was actually pretty decent, I enjoyed it.
 
why didn't you watch blade 2 instead? i've seen both and blade two is far far far far far far far far far far far far far far far far far better😀

resident evil is a pg13 wannabe pos. no boobs, no gore, no kewlness, no decent dialog, no really threatening monsters-zombies were more tacky then anything else.
 
Saw it yesterday... I want my $8.50 back. Horrible, just horrible. It's just an hour and a half stupid of suspense scenes where they try to surprise you. It's not scary after the 15th time! And those zombies, looked like a bad 50's movies.
 
resident evil is not that bad
it got zombie, it got gun, it got the chicks, what more can you ask for.
if you think it is sorry ass movie
then i think you should go see time machine
WHAT THE PEICE OF CRAP
worse movie of the year
no make that worse movie ever
 
hah if it were rated pg13 i wouldn't complain.

it got zombie, it got gun, it got the chicks, what more can you ask for.


it had sh*tty guns, no boobage whatsoever .. R rated my ass. if your gonna stink plotwise atleast gimmi some eyecandy.
 
supertroopers is funny... but i downloaded it.. ermm i mean i err, watched it in the theatre.. yeah that's right.

I was a ps fan and played RE and RE2... so i'm kinda interested in this... probably just download it though.. errmmm i mean err, go watch it in the theatre.
