Other than that, the Ada, Jill, and Barry portrayals certainly did not disappoint for me (hard to say the same for Leon). Kinda sad though that brainwashed Jill was executed a lot more accurately than the RE3 brunette one despite that they were played by the same actress. lol

If you put 15 hardcore gamers in a room together and ask them to write a script for Resident Evil, they would all kill each other because each one of them is hardcore about what they love but not about what the other person loves.
Oh yeah, the fact I hardly noticed any of the slow motion crap from Afterlife aside from the beginning was a bit of a plus for this movie, too.

He did direct Event Horizon, though, which is pretty good on account of him not writing it.. lol. I like to see him do something else Event Horizon-ish as long as he's not the writer. But unfortunately it would appear that he's becoming the go-to director for bad videogame films instead. He's only a few steps up from Uwe Boll.

Just out of curiosity, when was the last time you played RE and which was it?

facepalm

Not unless Michael Bay butchers everyone's childhood again with another Transformers movie which I'm sure is where Paul W.S. Anderson found you. Speaking of the jerk, I remember him telling folks Retribution was his last RE film. God I hope so.

Yeah, was quite a bit better than I thought it'd be (saw it for free of course). The fight with Jill and Michelle Rodriguez's character was a lot more brutal than I expected even though we saw part of it beforehand in that one clip. Damn... The change in character for Wesker I thought was a nice touch too given the situation, assuming it was just temporary because I can't see even Anderson making him a complete good guy.Other than that, the Ada, Jill, and Barry portrayals certainly did not disappoint for me (hard to say the same for Leon). Kinda sad though that brainwashed Jill was executed a lot more accurately than the RE3 brunette one despite that they were played by the same actress. lol haermm
True dat 👆
The film was as good if not better than the first one. Which alot of people I know loved.
Leon was nothing but some EuroTrash extra they picked up.
He sucked big time!
In regards to Wesker, it was the natural choice in regards to the direction they were heading. Too many monsters running rampant. Enlist soldiers to kill em then claim your place as head of the world.
I expected Wesker to murder the high council actually not Ada. That was stupid.
And finally my view on VG fans of the series hating on the film series?
Get a freakin life!
The game's plots are laughable as the films. It's just fan fiction so enjoy the ride.
I Luurrved RE:1 and RE:2 the rest sucked until RE:4 which I finished multiple times. RE:5 sucked and failed me personally on a huge level. So if Capcom can screw it up. How can we really complain?
I've learnt to enjoy Marvel films regardless of the fail. It's the nature of the beast. So take it as fan fiction and hold that Comic/VG universe as the real deal.
Hollywood deals to the masses and is run by talentless and soulless tards, get used to it.
Lucky for us Marvel and Capcom have are producing their own films. Capcom doing Anime and CG. Be happy they are there.

The guy who, on occasion, trolls on Videogame Versus is telling us to get a life? This is no different than haters telling bronies to get a life. If you have the time to mock people, don't you think you should be using your time for something more meaningful in life, being the better man? I didn't think so. Now shut up.

Forgive me if I've skipped any cutscenes with a telekinetic Mary Sue in it.
It's just fan fiction so enjoy the ride.
I would enjoy it if it wasn't out of control. I can appreciate the movies with some fanfiction so it doesn't feel like you're better off watching videogame walkthroughs on YouTube but there is so much different crap going on, it doesn't really feel like Resident Evil to the original fans.
I Luurrved RE:1 and RE:2 the rest sucked until RE:4 which I finished multiple times. RE:5 sucked and failed me personally on a huge level.
You can criticize 5 but you think everything between 2 and 4 sucked, including Code Veronica? I'm gonna pretend this post doesn't exist.
So if Capcom can screw it up. How can we really complain?
We can't complain if they screw up? What?

Quitter.

I am thankful they're there but that still doesn't make me ignore the stein on the rug that just won't go away no matter how hard you scrub it.

Wow. I don't see how having fun on the VGVF a few times even compares to your butthurt. But hey, whatevs.
Loved the part about doing something more meaningful in life.
You showed me the error of my ways.🙄

Man, does the word butthurt mean anything anymore? Used so many times pointlessly in arguments, it won't surprise me if it's now dead no thanks to you and others who can't come up with anything else to say to counter one's take on your BS and have to go all "lawl you sure fail." Case in point, you're probably being a Troll now. And I still have to get a life?
Also, I like how you ignored everything else I said.
If I, a fan of Marvel comics can watch films like DD, Elektra and X3 and still enjoy them as fanfinction even though they didn't personify my idea of ideal representations of my beloved characters. Then forgive me for not expecting the same from RE fans.
I used to get angry as well. I wanted my fictional heroes to be represented better but in the end looked at it as lets say the Ultimate Universe in Marvel or one of their many re-imaginings....What Ifs.
Then I guess my point is to RE fans is "get over it".
Did they detract from the fiction? Sure.
Was it a mistake to make them? No.
Is it fluff? Sure.
They made up their own plotline as to how the universe emerged.
Created a unique character and took it from there.
Personally the idea of the virus not consuming the planet is absurd to me.
Human professionals standing a chance against characters like Wesker also absurd.
Maybe the series will one day thankfully end.
And a reboot will emerge that will make fans proud. Until then, just enjoy the ride.
In regards to the films ruining the games. The same can be said in regards the comicbook movies. Film plots influencing comic plots.
But personally I don't believe the films have effected the games at all.

Let me say again that I wouldn't mind a little fanfiction in Resident Evil. I never did expect all live action movies based on games to be 100% identical to the source material (unless it was actually made by fanboys) and if they were, they would probably be no different than watching a whole walkthrough. I would've liked seeing what would be different in the films but it just got out of hand. I would've liked fanfiction the same time it stays true to the source material so that possibly, any newcomers from the wider audience would know the Resident Evil that we know and love but I guess that's too much to ask for.

A very crappy What If.

Telling people to remove their sense of criticism is also telling them to lose their free will. If I don't like it, I don't like it. Tough luck, buddy.
They made up their own plotline as to how the universe emerged.
And the way it's differently emerged, it's fanfiction and I would've appeciated it if, again, $#!+ didn't get out of hand. It kinda started off good but seriously, you can't tell me Paulie didn't go overboard the moment he made Apocalypse, Extinction, and Afterlife. You just can't.
Created a unique character and took it from there.
She was almost growing on me, being a woman who was a former Umbrella employee with amnesia trying to find answers about herself but the moment she pulled off combos like she's in Mortal Kombat, telekinetically fighting foes like Jean Grey, and shooting in slow motion like she's Neo from the Matrix and using those haxxed abilities to take the spotlight away from the original RE heroes made her very, very unappealing to me. Her character is the exact opposite of what you want in Resident Evil these days.
Personally the idea of the virus not consuming the planet is absurd to me.
And yet it can create deserts and dry up lakes. How can a virus even do that and isn't it the T-Virus that broke out? First T-Virus gives women telekinesis and it can even perform natural disasters and you still say the movie's plot is as absurd as the game's? Yeah, right.
Maybe the series will one day thankfully end.
And a reboot will emerge that will make fans proud. Until then, just enjoy the ride.
Retribution should be the last from what I heard.
In regards to the films ruining the games. The same can be said in regards the comicbook movies. Film plots influencing comic plots.
The comicbook movies are at least good 😐
Personally, I don't believe the films have effected the games at all.
It can make Capcom lose potential fans though.

That said, I concur with what you said on Leon. He still had some cool moments though, but was just.. very different as far as personality and wasn't used to seeing that much facial hair on him. lol Did like though how they made a throwback to his implied relationship with Ada from the games toward the end.
Don't think I remember the part now where Ada killed the high council. Agree though that Wesker should've been the one to do it.

Things in the games like human characters standing a chance against guys like Wesker and the latter losing due to PIS (especially in Wesker's case) is just as absurd as most of the crap I've seen happening in the movies, to be fair.

last time i played was a year or so ago.. i don;lt keep track of such things..
nah not typical response, just being smart and realistic..
nah you see again Sony is in the business of making money so try to stop being butthurt over it.. Sony was ever going to follow video game to think that is part of inception
nah there is going to be another, after only a few days of being released this has made $71 million worldwide, Sony is Anderson is happy, this will make more in the days and weeks again..
you see Anderson pulled a Bay, remember when Bay said he wasn't gonna do Transformers 3, but then part two was successful, then he did part 3 and after that he said no more, now of course thats a lie since he is doing part 4.. Now Anderson said this one is last however, thats a lie since he keeps this one here wide open for more..

Not giving a shite about the games but you find the movies better. Holy crap. If it was just Resident Evil 5 you played, it would explain a lot actually.

Butthurt, really? If I was, I'd be typing like you but negative, spamming "My god this movie is bads. what the shite crackers man I;m hurt and betrayed RAGE 😠 RAGERAGES!"
nah there is going to be another, after only a few days of being released this has made $71 million worldwide, Sony is Anderson is happy, this will make more in the days and weeks again..
So we can pretty much agree greed corrupted them and are soulless. Also, "Sony is Anderson is happy"?

You're missing my point and for god sakes man, check and fix your grammar before posting 😐
😂 You know what Nemesis X I do feel the same way about the Hitman movie. Which was a terrible film adaption of a game series I adore.
But I let it slide. Because Hollywood producers have always struggled to understand the fans because they only care to sell a film to the masses....who unfortunately aren't gamer fans......well at least as far as they are concerned.
Though if I had great Hitman CG films to watch. I wouldn't care at all because HELL at least I would've received some kind of compensation.
But RE fans do have cool CG movies.
I'm gonna give a breakdown on the RE films to see if you agree.
RE1: Cool film. Not what I expected but very enjoyable.
RE2: A terrible film. But at least it told the Raccoon City incident. Hot Jill. Easily the worst in the series.
RE3: Loved it. A great zombie flick on its own. Carlos had one of the best death scenes ever! My peronal fav in the series.
RE4: Cool intro. Wesker was cool. But the 2nd worst of the series though.
RE5: An enjoyable film. Tied up the series in a nice package. Cameos were fine besides Leon...who was mass fail.
And the BIG QUESTION Nemesis.
If you could write and direct your dream RE series of 5 films.
What would be their plots?

My feelings exactly. Just recycled bits and pieces from the other ones, first 2mainly. Same people, same villains,
Spoiler:Did anybody else thought of Lord of the Rings at the very last scene?
Wesker was bad in the last 2 but is now good all of a sudden. The Red Queen being the villain again was lame. Alice losing her powers just to get them back. Is Alice even the real one or just another clone?
