Whoa!Whoa! back up to "fantastic movie".It's a mess.You have Mila who's only talent is bad acting and Rodriguez who's only talent is look hot.Alice continues to do near impossible moves throughout the movie and she just utters completely cheap line's.Then where suppose to believe that this big corporation is just out to get everybody so they unleash a virus on there little underground place.Of course it "easy to follow" its one of the movies that doesnt require alot of brain power seeing as how it's so stupid.
A blockbuster yes but its even worse than the first but I think ive already showed my hatred of this film alot in the horror section so I wont go into it here.
Jee CA I thought you where a little less easily amused.
I disagree with everything you said. Special effects were terrible from what I can remember, as was the storyline. And lets not forget the matrix shithole scene when what's her face karate kicks a dog in midair. I think that's the moment I realized I was watching bonofied shit. RE:A was even worse, fell asleep trying to watch it. Only good thing in that was the naked chick zombies
Anyways, Mortal Kombat is my favorite Video Game movie. I think all the others suck ass.

I think you've got Milla and Michelle mixed, unless you admit to being a fan of tomboy actors. Nothing's "impossible" within the realm of a video game or video game movie. You suspend belief as soon as you walk into movies such as this. The Umbrella Corperation never intended to unleash a virus on the masses, the vial was dropped accidently, and it spread, and then the plant went into secure mode, containing the virus as well as everyone in it. Not all movies have to be thought provoking to be enjoyable, like I said before.
That's fine, and I disagree, as the special effects were fantastic IMO, especially the laser grater corridor scene. As for the kick, she jumped off of a wall to do it. Storyline was one of the smartest to be found in a horror movie, and atleast it wasn't hacked off all the old favorites which is the norm for "Horror" today.
Wow, I thought the laser scene was really cheesy, I laughed out loud when I first saw it, looked way to obviously fake.
The kick...yeah, she jumped off the wall, she did karate on a dog, how lame can you get?
I wouldn't call the storyline smart, merely a generic hacking combination of cheap sci fi and poorly constructed horror. But, it was better then the laughable sequel.
A smart script in a Horror would be equivalent to that of, say, "The Punisher". So, for the genre, "Resident Evil" looked lke a MENSA product compared to the rest of 2002's flicks. I think the laser corridor scene provided some of the highest tension I've ever seen in a Horror/Sci-Fi, mostly because I was being owned by the Marilyn Manson/Marco Beltrami score.
Oh, thanks for reminding me. Marilyn Manson did some music, another negative. Totally forgot.
Though I get what you're saying about some of the horror storylines, I don't think that's a really reasonable positive for RE. The inept storylines of the other horror films released around the same time doesn't really make RE's any better. Besides, lets not for 28 Days Later was made the same year, which was infinitely better.
The little lazer thing was incredibly cheesy and fake.It was just anothe pointless way to put gore into the film.
It doesnt have a "great" storyline.It basically consist of Mila saying cheesy and forced lines while shooting zombies for 90 minutes.The whole thing at the end where her boyfriend was made into nemisis was a lame way to introduce the character.
How where the special effects fantastic?Its not hard to make a couple of guys walk around like zombies and be shot.The only decent special effect was that little monster at the end and that isnt really worth the rental price either.
Of course it's fake, such a thing doesn't exist. It was credible, IMO, and not merely another way to put gore in the movie. It's a maximum security underground research center. Bells and tripwires aren't exactly what we consider "hi-tech" in the new millenium. The storyline has nothing to do with the script, which isn't filled with this cache of one liners you claim it to have. I thought the special effects for the most part were really effective, and I'll recite the defense mechanism in the corridor. There's some pretty solid social commentary to be found in both RE movies, in regards to big corporations.
You can have a negative opinion of the movie, all of you can, but your basis looks to be paper thin.
My basis is paper thin?Your the one defending two movies that are on most people I know's top ten worst films of all time.
Of course it was fake.I dont think they would actually lazer real people to death.That fact is it looked fake and cheesy.It was just another way to put gore in because it really didnt have to be there.
Your right it wasnt filled with cheesy one liners.The whole paragraphs and phrases where cheesy.Like at the end where she cocks her shotgunn at the screen.That was so stupid.
Another thing I thought was dumb in RE was the CGI zombie faces. Didn't work at all. But then again, zombies took a back seat to bullshit in that movie, so who cares.
You just come off as having some pretty strong, yet shallow reasoning for disliking the movie. It's just..odd..how distrubed you come across, lol. I'd encourage you to get your friends to sign up here at KMC so we can get a feel for what movies they like as well. I'm always up for a legit challenge, lol.
We've apparently got our own opinions. Not much else I can say, really other than as far as video game movies go, I don't think it gets much better than RE.
There's nothing "sad" about it. Not that I care what you consider sad, your pity is unmerited, frankly. Most people would agree, given the piss-poor track record of the genre.
