Resident Evil: Afterlife

Started by Nemesis X8 pages

This movie will suck. As a fan to the Resident Evil franchise, it greatly wounds me that Hollywood is still making crap flicks based on the game I came to know and love. Allow me to point out the errors in the Resident Evil movies:

1. Leon Kennedy is dead? Hollywood doesn't want to portray Leon in a movie and how do they make sure it will never happen? Simply by killing off the character which fumes Leon fans (crappy movies are one thing but to murder Leon is only throwing fuel in fire you idiots).

2. Claire Redfield...or Sarah Connor? The Claire seen in Extinction does not look like the same Claire I see in the games. She doesn't have a pony tail, only long hair. She doesn't have her awesome bikers jacket, only a tank top plus coat. She doesn't look young, she looks almost kinda old imo. When I said Sarah Connor, I meant it. "Claire" looks exactly like Sarah from the Terminator series. Hollywood can't even make a character look right, what a shame.

3. Bad actors for Wesker, why? It has come to my attention that the most hardcore badass in Resident Evil has been gimped from his awesomeness and is just plain...*gulp*...dull. In Extinction, some Irish actor most people wouldn't know played the epic villain but he obviously gave out a few irks to Wesker fans. The actor looked nothing like Wesker and all he did was just sit around, talking to Umbrella employees through the entire film. Wow that's really...not awesome. Now in Afterlife, some actor that I know who played in the X-men movies is now playing Wesker. Again, another actor who doesn't look like Albert is playing Albert. I also know that this actor's acting sucks which gives me fear on what will happen to Wesker in the fourth movie. Why couldn't Hollywood pick out someone like Keanu Reeves? Surprisingly, Reeves and Wesker look almost alike so why not? The only way I see Wesker having justice in Afterlife is if he displays the same awesome moves seen in Resident Evil 5.

4. Alice...why Alice? The Resident Evil movies could've had the same characters from the games as main protagonists in each film but instead, there's only one protagonist for all the RE movies and she sucks. The whole point of playing Resident Evil was that you play as non-super powered humans fighting evil biological weapons but this got turned down and now has a highly skilled, telepathic woman kicking zombie ass. That would seem cool but no it isn't. Instead, Alice is viewed as someone stealing the spot light who is ridiculously overpowered. I don't like her taking all the glory, I don't like her emo...ness, and I don't like her being in the movies. We should be seeing Jill or Chris as one of the protagonists but no. Milla Jovovich, get off the set, the camera is trying to view on the real heroes.

5. Mikhail is nice? If you know Mikhail, he's that merc in RE3. In the game, he's evil but in Apocalypse, he's young and he's nice, added with an australian accent. Mikhail ain't australian! Who the heck is checking the character profiles at Hollywood anyways? They should be fired for not checking them right.

6. Carlos, you're slightly dark skinned...but now you're white? In RE3, Carlos Oliveria is a South American but in the movies, he's fully white and looks...totally not like a South American and worse of all, Carlos was viewed as a possible love interest for Alice (gack) and got killed off in an exploding truck (better getting blown up than getting hooked up with Alice I suppose).

7. Nemesis in love? The most iconic monster in Resident Evil now looks like a love sick puppy for Alice in Apocalypse. Sure he's saying his popular catch phrase "S.T.A.R.S." but it doesn't give the Tyrant enough justice in the movie. To top it off, he's in a fist fight with Alice, and she looks like she's winning. What disrespect for the Nemesis.

8. William is...not going G? William Birkin only makes a short cameo appearence in Apocalypse. William Birkin and no G-Virus, what is wrong with this picture?!

Damn, dude....

Like I said before, I'm a Resident Evil fan and I take this stuff seriously.

I can see that haermm No problem here, I had the same problem when "Shooter" and "Queen of the Damned" were released. Both books are 10/10, but the movies were lacking big time.

I wish they never made any RE movies, they all suck. Save RE1 was not bad. But the rest dear God. She kicked Nemesis ass with her bare hands. It was all about action and not even slightly scary.

Cause Resident Evil is serious business, right?

Not sure what you were expecting out of Hollywood, NemeSis.

It is to me.

I wasn't expecting anything good that's for sure. I've seen plenty of game based movies before Resident Evil became the next victim. I was expecting a load of crap and unfortunately, I was right.

And a piece of metal through the chest.

First RE flick was okay... the rest have sucked. No interest in this.

Enjoyed the first, second was rubbish, third was an improvement, so will be checking out the fourth one.

One of those images with the creatures reminds me of pyramid head from Silent Hill...

Like the rest of them I will only watch it when it comes on TV.

Not a big fan of this franchise or Paul Anderson in general really.

The trailer for this will be on the net 2:15pm Pacific Time on Saturday.

Is that when the 2D version is out, I've only seen the 3D trailer. Pain in the arse to see.

I don't like the fall out of he building and shoot rip-off from Matrix, though.

Agreed. Except for the cool part. Movie looks like shit.
