The fact that a lot of people are saying the second movie was better than the first makes me want to implode with angry fury and take the world with me.

The first Resident Evil movie was tolerable if it had been thought of as a stand-alone side story to events happening elsewhere. Kind of like Resident Evil Outbreak, only not canon.

Resident Evil Apocalypse, however, tried to include the game's story which was a hit or miss...and boy was it a severe miss. The target could have been 10 miles tall and wide and only 1 inch in front of them, and they STILL missed it. Alice stole the show a lot and not in a good way. Every time she hit the screen, I sighed. She's what Jill should have been. They even made Jill say "I'm good, but not THAT good." I'm almost positive some scenes had to be done over because the director complained about not enough Milla in the shot. "CUT!!! About a quarter of Jill's shoulder was blocking Alice's elbow. Shoot the entire scene again! In fact, take Jill out. Have her stand by and watch instead. Action!"

Game characters were given so much injustice toward the new characters. Like I said, they made Jill into some cop rookie, Carlos barely did anything important...and Nemesis...wow. Nemesis lost to a fight against Alice. A fistfight. That was sheer RE blasphemy. And for him to develop feelings and become a good guy? What happened to the badass, evil, won't-stop-until-he-kills-you-even-if-he-dies-and-transforms-just-to-kill-you NEMESIS?! Gone. Just more fodder to feed Milla's spotlight.

RE movies might as well be called "Milla Jovich versus the Zombies!" Did I mention she's ugly as sin too?

And finally, at the end of RE:A, she becomes Mega Wesker. Wesker gets superhuman powers, yes, but they overpowered Alice far too much. Melt's a guy's face off simply by looking through a security camera? That one scene alone almost made me light the movie screen on fire. Thats just overkill on power for a resident evil...well...anything. Movies or otherwise.

And now I read this little "Sit down with Milla" interview. She obviously is stupid or was paid to say what she said because everything out of her mouth written there is utter nonsense. RE3 will not be good. No. Stop saying "but what if...." It's going to be bad. Period. End of story. Milla can't act, she's ugly as hell, and is over-glorified in every RE movie so much that it no longer has any point to include any other characters.

What pisses me off the VERY most, however, is that they are actually TRYING to go out of their way to remove any scrap of the element of fear from these movies and put even MORE action in. If we wanted an action movie with zombies, we'd watch Army of Darkness. Resident Evil is supposed to be scary with a good storyline. Not a 2-hour washboard chest in ugly clothes beating up zombies in a desert in the middle of nowhere with Matrix moves in a mindless slaughter. No sense of fear or panic anywhere. Even RE4 (the game) tried to show a feel of PANIC in the game. This movie won't have panic because Milla Jovich was obviously told to play a one-man-army character which I bet she's happy about in her ditsy little way.

God I hate Milla Jovich. The wrters too. In fact...screw the next movie all together...

So, when's Silent Hill 2 coming out? Now THERE'S a game-movie worth seeing!

Here are some new pictures from 'Resident Evil: Extinction'. One is of Ashanti as her character Betty, another is of Milla Jovovich as her character Alice, and the third is of an international poster.

Here is an interview Milla did with Wizard Universe: http://www.wizarduniverse.com/movies.../004257983.cfm

From wikipedia: Horror magazine Fangoria featured the film in the August 2007 Issue, talking with director Russell Mulcahy. [13] The following details were revealed:

1) Mulcahy stated that, "What I'm trying to do with this new sequel is to make a cross between a horror movie, a spaghetti Western and an Italian Mad Max type of thing."

2) Alice's convoy are traveling across the Nevada desert trying to reach sanctuary in Alaska.

3) The film will feature new "super zombies" that have been "pumped up on some sort of alter-essence steroids. They transform[...]"

4) Mulcahy also noted that he was happy with the ability to use CGI, which allowed for an increased level of gore, and many decapitation scenes,

5) Not all the main characters will survive the film.

6) Mulcahy also stated concerning the ending of the film trilogy, "As far as I'm aware, this is indeed supposed to close the book."

I didn't even know they were making a third film until I saw the trailer awhile back. The trailer got me ultra-excited to see this. Since I only recently started playing RE:1 on GC (and more recently RE:4) the inconsistencies in these films didn't affect me obviously. I thought the first one was good, although it was limited by the setting (completely inside the umbrella lab). The second one was more "campy," but I enjoyed the added humor and an expansion of the setting which allowed for many added elements such as the reporter, the soldiers, etc.

I won't go into this film expecting "Lawrence of Arabia" nor a script based on a Gamefaqs RE game guide, and as such I will more than likely enjoy it...

Hi-Def trailers. Enjoy

Oh man, no original costume for Claire? :(

The trailer looks nice, but I don't see how this movie is going to be kick ass if the other two weren't. Despite being R-rated, the movies didn't have enough blood and gore and they always looked like PG-13 movies.

Anyways, I'll try to keep my hopes up for this one.

Man, the Tyrant looks like shit. He looks to be about the size of a normal human instead of a towering behemoth. Good thing the "dollar theater" here plays first run movies now.

What Resident Evil did you play? You should know by now that each Tyrant starts out normal sized and then grows to some massive behemoth by the end of the game...

l2RE

Maybe towering behemoth wasn't a correct choice of words. What I meant was that Tyrants are usually about twice the size of a normal man. This one just looks like a zombie with tentacle claw things.

That new trailer makes it look badass I have to admit.

aw man! i need to see this!

Some new pictures. I'll upload more pictures later.

Just a heads up. I bought the Resident Evil 1&2 double feature DVDs at WalMart for $14, and it comes with a free movie ticket to see RE3. Pretty good deal, IMO!

First review of 'Resident Evil: Extinction': RESIDENT EVIL: EXTINCTION (2007)

xman25

I just got back from watching RE3. Put on your seat belts and start your engines, because... you really want to drive away from this one. This is no review, it's a rant of disgust.



How can you write a review after this "thing!?"

Edsplosive, what were you really expecting? High concept? Deep thoughts? The Resident Evil movies are the kind of movies you don't bring your brain to. It's ok to watch big dumb movies every now and then. I basically got what I expected from 'Resident Evil: Extinction'. The complaint that I do have for the movie is that it seems like a 95 minute set up for the next instalment(s) in the franchise. I know it's been said by the producers that number 3 is the last one, but the ending leaves the door very wide open for there to be other Resident Evil movies. The actor who plays Wesker is pretty lame. The final boss fight was too short. But, overall I found the movie entertaining. According to boxofficemojo.com 'Resident Evil: Extinction' made $9.5 million on Friday. RE 1 made $17.7 million its first weekend and $40.1 million overall US boxoffice. RE 2 made $23 million its first weekend and $51.2 million overall US boxoffice. Both of the first two movies made over $100 million worldwide. My guess is that RE 3 will probably take in between $20 and $25 million its first weekend.

xman25

I don't see why the touch of subtlety couldn't be added in any of the RE films like there was during the first half of Silent Hill. The difference is you found it entertaining; I really didn't.

I enjoyed the first two RE films. Enough that when they showed up on cable I watched them again and enjoyed them once more. There were some original ideas there, and somes ties to the games (I've only played RE:4 and RE1:Remake-partially) but I know a bit about the lore behind the series. I didn't see any link between the movie RE 3 and any of the games, except for the names of some of the characters and the setting. Since I've played few RE games this didn't bother me.

However, what did bother me was that a movie called "extinction" was less "massive" than the RE 2 film. I mean, this RE 3 film was all close-quarters fighting. I wanted to see armies of zombies getting nuked. I wanted to see the entire U.S. Army battling it out with hundreds of thousands of undead (if only in a short montage of news footage or something, at least it would have been ultra-cool). No, instead what we get is the SOS, hand-to-hand close-quarters zombie fighting with people doing stupid things to get bit/infected and then turning on their friends, just like every other lame zombie film ever made. RE 3 adds absolutely nothing new to the genre, doesn't work as a game-related film because it's not game-related, and is a poor effort on all fronts. Like Edplosive mentioned, there isn't even any T&A in the film. Lame, and not worth watching even for free. No need for spoiler tags with this one because you've already seen everything that happens in the film in other zombie films, except that those other films have probably done it better...

I personally enjoyed it, as it was easily better than Apocalypse. Just go in with no expectations whatsoever, and enjoy all the references they nabbed off other movies.

I would've liked some more time for Carlos, Claire & the gang to develop their characters, but that's just nitpicking imo considering it's a video game movie.
