I disagree with all of you. These movies are great and are certainly more entertaining than the video games. 😬
You're just begging to get kicked in the nuts by every RE fan, aren't you?
But seriously dude, why would you say this? The games are WAY better than the crappy movies. Resident Evil games are like precious treasures and the movies are like a pile of crap and you're saying you like crap more than treasures. There is something wrong with this picture.

They can try but they'll hurt their feet as it makes a "dink" sound on impact. 😏
I was polite about my opinion, however.

Probably because I find the games boring, repetitive, old, and tired. The movies, however, are great. After one has played at least 3 RE titles, they should never play another one. If the story and cutscenes are what you're after, I'm sure that stuff is all on the web, somewhere.

For Resident Evil:-
We have a poor villian and even more pathetic final Boss. We have an empty Mansion and get straight in to the LAB.
______________
In the original game, we see STARS teams landing and getting pawned by infected creatures. They escape to Mansion and think that they are safe but that was a wishful thinking. They face zombies, infected creatures (e.g. snakes, insects, dogs), bioweapons and even TRAPS. That was the FUN! (A pure survival horror element). The villian roles were also very well done. In the end, we meet a prototype of an ultimate life-form: The Tyrant (A very well done boss).
For Resident Evil Apocalypse:-
Alice is now a bio-weapon that defies Umberella. Why would Umberella want to create something that would defy them? (POOR LOGIC)
Nemesis is so FAKE. He shows emotions? (BAD)
No G-virus (BAD)
No secret LAB (BAD)
No other bioweapons (BAD)
I mean, so much was missing from this movie.
______________
In the original game, strangers arrive in the TOWN only to find it in chaos. They escape to the Polic Station, which was supposed to be safe but it is not. Again! We have a nicely done element of survival horror where Super-agents of Umberella in addition to bioweapons and zombies are hunting the newcomers. The only way out of the mess is to escape the city via underground sewers and tunnels. Streets are too risky. A more deadly virus is on the loose in addition to the T-virus and it should be stopped from spreading. Its place of origin (a secret LAB) is to be located and destroyed. This game was awesome in every aspect.
For Resident Evil Extinction:-
OK! This movie relied on a new concept and it was good in some aspects. The Boss was better but Alice seemed over-powered. However, it too lacked in the story department that we saw in Resident Evil 3, Resident Evil Code Veronica, and Resident Evil 4.
For Resident Evil Degeneration:-
I would give this one a props. The best Resident Evil movie created thus far. However, an animated feature.
_____________
Now the Resident Evil Afterlife is expected to be loosely based on Resident Evil 5. I hope that it turns out better than others. However, I do not like the idea of Alice clones.
However, my main point is that movies in no way are as good as games. They are poorly done rip-offs. The case is similar to that of DOOM.

I can and I will. I can have my own opinion on this stuff. No matter what you think, it is my opinion and it won't change. I don't undestand why that is difficult.

You've gone down the movies and put things in there, as complaints, that do not have to be in the film, at all. It's an entirely separate universe based on the games. Different stories, but with some of the characters.
And, they quality of the movies is better than the games. The RE games are just an evolved form of the point and click "adventure" games from the mid-90s. They are linear and repetitive...something I don't like in games. I haven't played like...the last 3 games, I admit. I am told that 5 is really good. I may play and then say I was wrong about 5. 😬
But, again, don't confuse your personal preferences for fact.

theres a time frame, a lot of times in games, there's useless information and unnecessary backtracking for things
movie audiences want to know what the **** is going and they they want to know it fast, not through hours and hours of sitting on their asses staring on a screen
the same goes for movies based on books, you cant put every single scene or character or plot element into a two hour movie from a 500 page book shit has to be cut out or introduced in a different way
Good on you. You put it into words better than I could.

A long movie is possibly a good movie. I go through 3 hour flicks and I don't complain. If someone is gonna make a Resident Evil movie, they need to put everything from the game into the movie but they don't have to show the characters walking down hallways and corridors for a half hour, they don't have to film the characters looking for keys and other items since that's mostly a gameplay element, and the characters don't have to be filmed reading memos also. You're forgetting that Resident Evil already has a good story you can adapt into a flick. The story in the games has horror, action, suspense, drama, friendship, betrayal, and romance and that's all you need in a movie and having to go and alter Resident Evil's story into something gay is not okay.

I mean movies in general, not just the RE movies.
Right, but it still applies. Adapting, so thoroughly, the plot from the RE games, would be a nightmare and impossible to do in 2 hours.
Keep some characters, their genders, general badassery, and some of the plot, make your own unique story with the general plot, and, badda boom, you've got RE.

but typically, how long are RE games?
even if you cut out the redundant stuff, there's still a lot you cant fit into a script
and yes, thats you, a person who has no doubt played every single RE game till the disks break. that means you could sit through anything as long as you get what you want
but the movie compaies arent thinking of fanboys, theyre thinking of the average joe that would walk down the street or watch tv, see thge poster/trailer and think, "hmm, that looks like a pretty good movie, i think ill see that"
if its 3-4 hours long, theyll just get up in the middle of it and say "**** this, i aint sitting through all of this" or theyll fall asleep
i saw people fall asleep during Watchmen and that was what? 2 and a half hours?
its plain and simple, movie companies arent gonna make a movie just for the fanboys because they arent the majority of the population
sure there's a shit ton of fanboys out there, but there's still gonna be more people who arent fanboys, who havent sat down and played through every single game to the point that they can recite the characters lines from memory or tell you even the most minute details about the game
I sorta see what you're saying but still, while I agree movie companies will not add everything from a game into the movie version, I still think that they could've done a similar plot with similar characters but it seems that's too much to ask for. Instead of Chris, Jill, Claire, or Leon fighting the biological threat, we get a telekinetic woman with intense H2H skills (who I may note was never in any of the games) doing that.
yeah, they really overpowered Alice in Apocalypse and Extinction
i mean, sure it was interesting for the first few seconds to see her "awesome" new powers, but after that it was like... okay we get, shes super powerful and can take down anything she wants to
wheres the fun in that?
and in the RE Afterlife trailers ive seen, i have yet to notice a zombie, but there's plenty of Alice and her clones kicking ass and taking names
i liked the first one the best because there was a sense of "wtf is going on?" in the characters

I agree. Alice was better off without the super powers because when a character is a super power-less person, it questions us if he/she will survive through the movie or not but we're now convinced Alice will be living for a long time which sucks btw. I want to see her fall, I want her gone, I want the Resident Evil movie franchise rebooted without the need of there being characters that didn't originate from the games.
The only person I want to see with powers in Resident Evil is Wesker.
