I liked it. I'm not a huge ZOMBIE movie fan...I love Dawn of the Dead and I like Day of the Dead- but other than those two, the rest suck.
Resident Evil was entertaining enough for me to like it. And Milla was nice to look at. The action was cool and the movie itself was worth seeing. 😎
Paul Anderson's a good guy, he makes decent games- turned- movies- Mortal Kombat was cool too, but the second one was beyond gay. 😠

I thought the movie was okay.
I was a fan of the zombie movies of the late 70's/early 80's like Dawn and Day of the Dead, as well as the first Return of the Living Dead (Return II turned comedic and really sucked).
Res Evil, for a zombie movie, had precious little actual gore (didja remember Dawn when the zb's tore that biker's arm off of the blood pressure machine, or when the zb's head got lopped off by the whirling helicopter blades?).
Also, the storyline was pretty stupid. The central computer in charge of the underground complex shut down the complex and kills the employees within, presumably as part of a predesigned plan to prevent the escape of any dangerous pathogens. This should have been known by the scientists in the complex, as well as the Umbrella Corporation, which finances the place. So why does the UC send their operatives in, claiming the computer went bonkers, potentially opening up what is probably a pathogen infested area?
As far as the operatives, they were rather poorly informed about the complex' countermeasures, particularly the laser grater, which wiped out half of their crew in one fell swoop.
I thought the 1990 Night of the Living Dead was pretty well done, and am looking forward to the upcoming 28 Days Later (set up for a June release in the U.S.). 💃
