[Movie] Resident Evil Movie Series.

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...

Jam it back in, in the dark.

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...

There's nowhere I can't reach.
