😘 OMG that movie was the worst piece of crap i had ever seen, I'm not even sure it legal to call that thing a movie. the only good part about that movie is Britain gets destroyed

Says the guy who thought the Grudge was scary. If you think RE is good, and 28DL isn't then you're ****ed up.

u mean napolean???if so then u forgot to mention one small french man and his entire army

then who stopped him on his mission??

28 Days Later is infinitely better then Resident Evil. Resident Evil is among the worst films ever made, while 28 Days Later is among the best horror films of the past 10 years. It was unique and very strong in it's social commentary. You go ahead and watch Resident Evil while everyone else shits on it.

Making more money doesn't tell shit if the movie's good or not. The worst film of all time could make more money then the best film of all time.

The critics agree that Saw is a better movie then The Grudge will be anyways.

The real reason "The Grudge" did so well, was because A) Sarah Michelle Gellar and B) Halloween. The general movie going public gobbles up ghost stories, as monotonous and jam-packed with cheap scares as they may be.

"Saw" hasn't faired well for a few reasons. It's from Lion's Gate, it's subject matter is touchy, although the movie is tame, the trailer makes it out to be a total mind****, which it isn't.

You can't gauge a movies quality by the income it generates, thanks to the Avril Lavigne movement.

u name one part that was scary in that movie, and "unique" its all stuff done before. oh no i haven't seen a zombie movie before. and scary like c'mon its stupid not scary and not even entertaining. like i no RE wasn't the best but at least the action was good but u no since 28DL had none.

The same can be said for "The Grudge". Another Asian ghost story. Their spectre fetish is really annoying, and for you to sit here and spew double standards is hard to watch. If the sheer montony of "The Grudge" doesn't provoke you bludgeon yourself with a rubber mallet, the failed attempts at true terror, by way of abstarct noises, and off-the-wall visuals surely will.

By the way, are you claiming there was no action in "28 Days Later"?

I have yet to see the 2nd "Resident Evil" film, and while the original could have benefitted from the original Romero script, I felt that it was a solid video game movie, from a sub-par director.

I can appreciate it for what it was. Video game movies rarely translate well onto the big screen. I'll probably catch this one at the discount theatre.

do not see the 2nd resident evil...i beg you..it is a complete waste of time.....i fu despised the first one like i did then u will want to commit suicide after watching the 2nd one...pure shite

28 days later didnt have to have cheesy action sequences like resident evil did...if u find you like to watch people running up walls and think it is good entertainment then thats your problem..if i wanted to see a action movie then i would rent a arnie flick

yea and critics usually suck at doing there job

It's almost impossible to "suck" at being a critic. Because all they do is tell their opinion on a movie.

Opinions of movies are equally as subjective as opinions of critics. There is no such thing as an unbiased critic, only those that are well respected, and they still never please everyone all the time.

The day there is a critic that will write an absolutely glowing review for those looking for one, in addition to one that bashes the shit out of the movie, is the day critics, will indeed, not suck.

I have heard so much bad stuff about this movie, and i was just wondering if it really that bad? I mean, i know you can always trust the reviews but..........

it is a good film you should go and see it but differant people have differant opinions. everyone in the world might think its really gud but you might think its shite just do wat you wanna do i "think" you'll like it.

K though i do believe that still as people say that the grudge was not scary i no it was compared to "saw or 28DL" way more "freaky" at the least. but only in you opinion am i "spewing double standards", i feel that in my opinion the grudge was way more freaky and yes because of the damn noises and weird Asian looks for the ghost, but thats what usually does it for me, where 28days has no scare factor even though i just read that it was scary, so i ask where is it scary or where does it have any action scenes?

i feel justified in saying that, i guess the only real action was him running, oh wait i think he threw a punch once not sure.

I some what agree it the fault of the "sub-par director" but i still believe it was great, well.. the second one was because they gave us Jill and nemises, y they didn't kill off Alice and make it true to the RE story line I'm not sure. but i still think it had better action then 28DL

Resident evil had more action because it had a bigger budget, 28 days later's budget was 8 million where as resident evil's budget was 40 million. There was plenty of action in 28 days later for examples near the beginning of the film when two of the characters were stabbing/slicing zombies with bloody results or when the army men shot loads of zombies and one zombie exploded ( with meat chunks gonig everywhere) when it stepped on the landmine etc

Resident evil was not scary and the zombies look just like normal people with a bad limp, barely any had any facial or body appliances to create effect of decay. Some of the computer effects were laughable.
this film had copied, stolen and/or borrowed elements from so many other preexisting pictures such as the the homicidal computer character from "2001: A Space Odyssey". The same holds true for the "Hey, I'm really a highly trained and lethal spy/agent with amnesia" element from "The Long Kiss Goodnight
