Resident Evil: Apocalypse
Saw this movie tonight... and I gotta say it was better then I expected (I thought the first was ok nothin great) and I didnt figure much more from this.. but it turned out much better then the first.
It has plenty of make you jumpe type of moments, some even scarier ones for the easily frightened, some nudity, gore, lots of action, and the big suprise it has several parts that are aboslutely hillarious (thanks soly to Mike Epps) The plot developed pretty well and everything made sense.. although im a little unsure of the end (not what happened just if i liked it or not) I will say its left open for RE 3
Bottom Line definantly an entertaining movie worth checking out.. much better then stuff thats been out recently like say AVP..
8/10
heres the basic plot for those that arnt sure about it..
Resident Evil: Apocalyse begins where the first film left off, with Alice in the heart of the ravaged and deadly Raccoon City. She has been subjected to biogenetic experimentation by the vast Umbrella Corporation and become genetically altered, with super-human strengths, senses and dexterity. These skills, and more, will be needed if anyone is to remain alive. Alice is joined by Jill Valentine (Sienna Guillory), a recently demoted member of Umbrella Corp's elite Special Tactics and Rescue Services (S.T.A.R.S.), Terri Morales (Sandrine Holt, Carlos Oliviera (Oded Fehr), L.J. (Mike Epps), and Nicholai (Zack Ward) who must survive and escape what is quickly becoming a City of the Dead. To reach their goal, they will need to battle their way through the relentless onslaught of the ravenous undead, as well as Umbrella forces and terrifying bioengineered weapons, the most deadly of which is the colossal, heavily armed assassin, Nemesis

Ive just seen this movie a couple of hours ago, it wasnt great but it wasnt bad either, i thought it was kinda short, they still didnt explain anything about the Lickers(wallcrawling monsters), the Tyrant(called Nemesis) looked to cartoony for my taste even though i like his gatling gun and Mike Epps i felt he was out of place in this movie, he had a minimal role even though his one liners were pretty funny as usual and I\i thought Jill was looking too pretty for the movie but Damn she cute, i liked the running on the side of the building scene, while it looked fake as hell it was enjoyable and the ending was too confusing overall i think if you wanna kill 1 1/2 go watch this movie!

Jill is to damn fine but my favorite critics(Ebert and Ropert) gave the movie bad reviews, 1/2star,

Ebert and Roeper's reviews mean nothing to me. I'll be there tomorrow to see it for myself, as always encourage others to do.

This movie looks so bad, I was going to see it last night but decided against it. Considering how awful and stupid the first one is, I really doubt the second one will pull it up from the sewer.
I guess I'm still a bit bitter because I know how great the original movie could have been with their original director - George Romero. I read his script for the movie, and it sounded awesome as hell.
But instead of making a good zombie movie, I guess they wanted to go the way of idiocy with some girl karate kicking dogs during slow motion Matrix like action scenes. Garbage.
I'll spend my money going to see Garden State.

The first movie pulled off what the games did.It combined action with tense zombies scenes and I thought it was great.BTW,Resident Evil was never intended to be a horror movie.
But I could care less what other people or critics say so ill be seeing this tonight and will judge after I see it like any good movie fan would do.

The game was alot scarier. I read Romeros script, it was so much better and closer to the game than the actual RE movie.

I dont base my judgement of the movie solely bye Ebert/Ropert reviews, the movie itself its not that great, i thought the first one was better, like i said before the Nemesis didnt do anything for me, just too fake, Mike Epps was underused and wasted in this movie even though pretty much everything he said was funny, Jill looked tooooo pretty for this movie, not that i mind but it seemed her make up never ran out, the movie was kinda short and if anybody can explain to me how in the hell Alice knew about the trouble in the church please let me know.

well i agree it wasnt that great of a movie.. but it is entertainign.. the nemesis actually looked a lot like it did in the game.. its a movie jill should be pretty.. and allice has hightened senses (she knew nemesis was around before they saw him) and she can see the infection so perhaps she saw a bunch of them in the church and she could tell there were non-infected people around? or maybe she just hates stained glass and wanted to wreck the window

I loved this movie! I expected it to suck sour milk like Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban did ( still crying over the waste of good hard-saved money ***boo-hoo***), but to my amusement and great pleasure, it did all that its trailer promised that it would. I saw purely aimed and decisive ass-kicking. I loved the fact that the heroes put their money where their mouths were. I really grew on Alice even more than I did in the first movie. It's great to see that women can lead without bitchy attitudes or acting like their PMS fuels that stand beside themselves(i.e., the first Mortal Kombat's Sonia Blade). I can't wait to see where the next movie goes with this 'Super Alice' direction.

Boo! This movie wasn't half as good as I expected. The plot was too weak, repeated the first, and where the hell was Chris & Claire Redfield and Leon S. Kennedy? These 3 make of the bulk of RE as a saga. Jill Valentine was a weak character, and second to Alice, and whom I still don't where she fits into the original storyline of RE. I've never heard of her. And Rebecca's father -- wasn't he Nemesis or something equivant in RE2? A poor attempt at a sequel. I'll stick to the games and novels.
