i would say those "action scenes" were laughable, i guess you could call those action but the whole movie was still lacking on almost everything especially story.

WOW great arguement

*claps*

dude RE wasn't ment to be scary just a action movie. no one think the games were scary just fun. so they made the movie that way. and the the people didn't die in horrible ways or were in that place that long so thats why most weren't rotten hard core. and like 28DL hasn't "stolen and/or borrowed elements from so many other preexisting pictures". almost every movie has and will so get use to it.

Well I have never played the resident evil games but many people have stated that the games are tense and have scary elements which is one of the reasons why they were great games. So they should of made it a scary film but turned into a shitty action film. Even the action scenes were crap with awful cgi, awful music and loads of mistakes, I even spotted a few zombies just falling on the floor without getting shot

examples please

28 days later probably would be compared to night of the comet, which is a poor film by the way...
resident evil is typical hollywood trash

There are huge differences in the circumstances of those in "Resident Evil" and those in "28 Days Later'.

Everyone in RE was armed, and part of an elite trained force. All FOUR survivors in "28 Days Later" were virtually defenseless. What else could they do but run away from an entire country plagued by infected? Honestly.

"28 Days Later" is a lot deeper than "run run run".

I'm sorry but there is nothing deep at all about this run,run,run movie. the deepest part is he falls in love with the chick which all could see coming. the movie was just running. I'm sorry but i cant actually think of anything else they do. u make a point of them having no weps which is true but still you could easily change that if your a good director.

Now that I have some time to reply to this nonsense;

The "deepest part" of this movie is the underlying social commentary, and if you didn't get it the first time, continue to fail to see it, then I won't bother explaning it. It's a rare, smart horror movie.

Besides that, Danny Boyle already being a good director, left them stripped intentionally. When you apply the social commentary, which is easily correlated with diseases such as AIDS for instance, if you are too ignorant to protect yourself before, you can't save yourself after.

As for the other exploitation in this movie, it was human nature in extreme circumstances. Those were quite obvious in A) the soliders plans to rape them, to maintain their sanity, and B) take Jim and crews rations, knowing full well they broadcast nothing but false hope in "salvation". It was chance luck they got 2 girls and a lot of food and clothes. They had no use for Jim, much like all the other men they came across, and had planned to kill him.

u have a guy that was asleep a little to long and woke up with wannabe dead plp that can run really fast

not true, they were infected with a virus, which was explained at the
start.

oh yea i see this guys name every where in the lights, oh wait no i don't i guess I'm not in with these no name wannabe directors. but I'm sure you think he's a great one

as opposed to paul "i ruin every franchise i touch" anderson and alexander witt (who is a decent cinematographer, but not a great director). danny boyle has directed trainspotting and shallow grave, two of the best movies of recent times. maybe u've heard of them?

i'm a huge critic of 28dl, i'll admit, but it was a masterpiece compared to the resident evil movies. they were poorly written, poorly acted and poorly directed pieces of celluloid excrement that should have never seen the light of day.

oh yea i see this guys name every where in the lights, oh wait no i don't i guess I'm not in with these no name wannabe directors. but I'm sure you think he's a great one.

really thats nothing really special, i dint even want to get into this one, but will say that i don't think those guys were going to rape them for sanity, but because they wanted to rape them because there dirty men and thought repopulate would be a good excuse. anyway whole things been done before, just better in other movies.

RE did suck compared to what it could've been, but to say that 28DL was better then ANY movie is a little harsh. and sorry about the crap out of the mouth thing, i was out of bounce i was just having a really bad day. so i apologize.

thats why i called them wanna be zombies because there not really zombies they have a gay ass virus

like the t-virus? the word zombie isnt used, so calling it a gay ass virus is ridiculous. its a decent explanation and entirely plausible.

funny part is no i have not heard of them, actually maybe the train one but i no better then to watch stuff like that.

your loss, they are excellent movies, but if u want to waste your time watching re, then fine.

well i guess thats what u believe but to me RE did what it set its self to do, it had great action and zombies eating plp just like the game

the game had a plot, and a decent one at that.

i also remember the ad saying "scary as hell", um i didn't even get me in the jumpy parts and I'm usually jumpy, so if a scare movie is where this movie wanted to go it sucks. more in the comedy section to me.

different things scare different people, i'd say a lot of people were scared, so yeah calling it a scary movie is a bit silly yeah.

"Gay ass virus" just soldifies your ignorance to both the message of the movie, and life in general.

You know better than to not watch generally well recieved movies? Alright..?

You're clueless. I just laid it out for you.

Uhhhhh..."TRAINSPOTTING", ANYONE? "A Life Less Ordinary"? "The Beach"? What rock have you been living under?

No, it wouldn't have been a good excuse, and that's why it wasn't used, and why they were made out to be savages, who were indeed going to rape them to maintain their sanity. Guess you've never heard the addage about sailors, and their sexual deviancy when they dock.

Please. Think before you go on these empty-headed tangents.

My god, man. Do you make a practice of ragging on movies about which you have no clue?

You totally, totally, missed the biggest part of "28 Days Later", being the commentary. Here we go.

RAGE 101

The test subjects in the lab were monkeys, strapped down in chairs, forced to watch violent images of, guess who(!), us. Shooting. Killing. Raping. Pillaging. Fighting.

Boyle's message is that A) degenerative human nature in general is as much a communicable disease as the common cold and B) violence in media only begets more violence. It's not Marilyn Manson. It's us.

When the monkeys, like us, become infected with said "rage", it's easily communicable and spreads. Be it AIDS, road rage, hatred, whatever.

Once these diseases start spreading, it eventually bites everyone in the ass, and that's the entire message that Boyle was trying to get across, and that's the origins of that "gay ass virus" in his movie. It was a swipe at both media, and the declination of modern civilization.

Comprehend?

they didnt need to, they assumed that the audience would figure out the many uses for a virus that turns humans blind with rage.

i feel completely opposite on that one, like have fun wasting your time on that stuff, while i have fun watching a decent action based movie.

if u wanna see a decent action movie there are plenty of better ones than resident evil. u think ud be wasting your time watching trainspotting? its one of the finest movies made in the 90s, but hey, everyone has there own tastes. but re? seriously?

but the movie doesn't differ to much form the real story. other then them throwing in Alice. but they still had the mansion, the licker the virus. really it was quite similar. just not alice(god i hate her).

the basic plot is the same, but the games actually tried to develop it a little, the movie didnt, they just went for badly made action scenes and even poorer dialogue.

i hate alice too.

The zombies in Resident Evil are UNDEAD - by definition they are zombies.

Resident EVil actually took the zombie "crap" and made it somehwat scientific and added that extra edge of realism that made it somehwat disturbing (these are the game I'm on about here). It was a virus used for miliatary applications that gave humans enhanced strength and so on, but it killed the brain dead, leaving the corpse to rot while the brain had basic motor functions. They were dead, decaying corpses moving around. They were zombies.

The plots for the games were brilliant, they could have just turned the games into movies and everyone would be happy.

Two Resident Evil movies, and no Albert Wesker? Seriously, it's getting beyond a joke.

Weskers plot line alone is ten times better than the crummy films.

Nemesis was also a brilliant enemy in the games, he was scarier than Tyrant, and made you jump and sh*t your pants everytime he cried out "Staaaaaars!". Movie Nemesis is utter crap.

Alice? Alice? Who the f**k is Alice?

I wish Mr. Anderson would stop re-writing franchises and stop infuriating fans - after all they are the only ones who bother watching these movies.
