Maybe I actually made all the footage in the first part of this video out of focus on purpose as a statement on the lack of FOCUS in these movies, or maybe I should have checked to see if the camera was set on manual focus or not, the world may never know.
Also, I agree with that other guy in the comments. I would also be interested to know your thoughts on the Snyder cut of JL, or watchmen if you're bored - I Just saw it for the 1st time
"This is borderline experimental"-Jay from Red Letter Media describing the Wesker fight in Resident evil: After Life where Alice kicks a glass shard and cuts zombie dog in half while Rich Evans dies from laughing in the background Circa 2012.
Ah yes, the OTHER super dated 2000's horror action franchise with a lead actress who's husband is the director. But this time, it's based on a video game.
@@jfassettx123 He's talking about Underworld since at the time the films came out Kate Beckinsale who played Selene was married to Len Wiseman who directed the first 2 Underworlds then produced the prequel and the other 2 sequels.
The more you upload videos where you give in-depth explanations of a narrative through-line in series that don't seem to make any sense overall, and the more you meme about Kingdom Hearts, the more I want to see a Ross McIntyre video "Exploring the Kingdom Hearts Games."
Ross if you need someone to guide you through the SAW franchise, I am your man. I have seen each entry at least 3 times at this point. And it has much of the same consistency of redcons and twists that make no sense as the resident evil series.
hey Ross. please play the games. please. or watch somebody else play them. if you need advice on where to start or what the order is, I can make one. but please play the RE games, they’re worth your time and attention. it might even re-contextualize how you feel about this series. as a lifelong RE fan, I felt these movies were cool, but they ultimately had very little to do with RE other than some shoehorned characters and locations. playing the games might help you understand how much of a betrayal these movies were to some RE fans lol. most of the references and “easter eggs” were so poorly done that they didn’t even register as fan service. these movies were Paul W.S. Anderson drooling over his wife, they were made for him and him alone. that’s it.
9:20 I still don't know why they set up Alice planning to storm Umbrella headquarters with an army of her clones at the end of Extinction if the clones were just going to be killed off at the start of Afterlife. And given how The Final Chapter retcons Alice into being a clone of the daughter of Umbrella's founder James Marcus Umbrella were cloning a clone during Extinction apparently.
I like 1 and 2 but didn't even know their was a 6th. The amazing thing about the resident evil series is how cultural irrelevant they are. Being one of the 1st to the zombie trend, along with a growing cycnism of corporate power the films could have been a reference point for a generation.
Chris in the games is a yoked Vin Diesel GigaChad so that's a missed opportunity. The games aren't as intimidating as you think, the games that are the best to dip your toe into are RE7, RE2 remake and RE Village. Each have moments of batshit insanity but also a strong focus on horror and atmosphere. I haven't even played all of them and I consider myself a fan. Resident Evil 7 in VR is pretty unforgettable as a horror experience and a good introduction to the series
Everything about the movies was always just so off. Especially from the perspective of someone who grew up playing the games, the reliance on a fanfiction-tier OC wouldn't have even bothered me so much if they didn't also needlessly include characters from the games for more or less no reason at all, because they never do anything.
Eh. I don't mind the first one. It's a decent watch. The 2nd and 3rd? Eh, 50/50. The rest I don't care for. Once you're done, just listen to Umbrella Chronicles [Resident Evil] (Parody of Rihanna's "Umbrella"). It will cure you.
Ross, have you ever considered making videos on stuff such as the MCU films, or maybe even the DCEU films? I’m genuinely interested to know your thoughts on the DCEU version of the Flash, as well as your opinions on the Justice League Snyder Cut in general. Also, just a bit of a cringe warning for your inevitable Flash season 6 video: Barry calls Iris his “lightning rod” in the finale (the real finale not the bullshit coronavirus finale).
These films are just Paul Anderson somehow getting money to film fanfictions of his wife Milla Jovovich. Characters from the games like Chris, Jill, Leon, Claire, Ada, Wesker, Nemesis and the like are all pushed aside to put the spotlight on the Mary Sue Alice.
I suppose we have totally different tastes. I mean, for me the first movie was the best by a very long shot. It looks like they actually tried. If you remove the "resident evil" from the title it could have been quite a decent sci-fi movie with zombies to be honest. I liked the deaths, I liked the over the top action in some places (fun, the kick to the dog), I LOVED the music, I loved the twist even if now it looks obvious... And the characters were pretty ok. Milla is bland, right, but that fits with her character because she had no memory. In the following movies, everything looked messy for me. Nonsensical to the extreme. Almost every line looked like they stopped caring at all, but that could be me. Every scene looked almost improvised. No planning forward. Just adding stuff and see what happened. Every movie seemed worse than the previous one to me. I stopped watching after the third for many years, then I found another in the tv and I decided to watch each movie. It was like sharknado... Stupid, and they knew it was stupid, so it would have been kind of fun for me if it wasn't for the fact that I used to love the games. It hurt more than anything.
I know you have moved on from the types of videos, but will you be making a video on Flash Season 6 now that the season six storyline has ended? Speed Weed signing out with a referential joke
Okay question has milla jovovich ever been in a genuinely good film or has shown any signs that she can act or she is just hired because of how hot she is
I know you said you wanted to stay away from MCU stuff but not only is Agents of Shield a great show but you don't need to be concerned with MCU connections. The show is it's own thing that occasionally mentions the Avengers and the first season may be the weakest, but it's not bad. If you could get behind the cheesy as hell tone of the Arrowverse shows then you should be able to get behind the first few episodes, especially that even then it has much better written dialogue, good written characters that evolve with every season, and a good story unlike the Arrowverse that just has caracatures that shout exposition and very rarely talk like real people. Please, I'm begging you, watch the show, and then talk about it on the channel, you won't regret it.
Rewatch Man of Steel, BvS and Snyder cut and actually judge Snyders Universe. Should be allowed to carry on his universe? Yes but P.S Jesse Eisenberg is the worst casting in movie history.
His "universe" was a rushed mess with poor characterization and strange direction choices, drowned in a dour and melodramatic tone, with admittedly great visuals. Even if his direction hadn't consistently been flashy cinematography and little substance, putting a director and head writer (Goyer) in charge of introducing your DC franchise when they both openly hate the character of Superman is a obviously stupid decision. He and his fans should be overjoyed that the studio actually chose to invest millions into a new cut of JL that they had absolutely no obligation to make, and let the DC films finally move on from his choices. Also, Eisenberg as Luthor is not inherently bad casting by any measure. Lex Luthor's age in comparison to Superman has never been a fundamental part ot his character. Eisenberg playing an intellectual egomaniac is very clearly something he's great at with good material, with The Social Network serving as a prime example. The actual writing for the character of Lex, his poorly explained role in the story and atrocious dialogue are why Snyder's Luthor was terrible, not Eisenberg himself.

“Blurry memories at best” I think that signifies what you MEANT to do Ross
It's because of your little eccentricities like Last resort that I watch and enjoy you, Ross 🤙

Will you watch the new Riverdale season? The fans need to knw
Please and try to play some of the games that are good

This and X-Men are the two big 2000s action franchises that actively punish you for keeping track of the story.
Don't forget Underworld, at least it was consistently dark.

_Fiii fii fii fiiveee_
Oh look who's here.
@@jwnj9716 Good to see you :)
"It all comes back to Riverdale..."
I think this is pretty much the philosophy of the whole channel, at this point.

Wait what was the first one?
@@jfassettx123 He's talking about Underworld since at the time the films came out Kate Beckinsale who played Selene was married to Len Wiseman who directed the first 2 Underworlds then produced the prequel and the other 2 sequels.
i honestly don't hate the underworld series, idk maybe it's cuz i like Kate Beckinsale
The blue lighting is wild...Love it.
*This is borderline experimental*
Glad to see you guys make another video together it’s always a fun video
"Obviously they don't make umbrellas"
"...,"
It's a RE fanfiction series with a budget which retcons with each new installment.
Thankfully after the last chapter the games got a proper revival.
The more you upload videos where you give in-depth explanations of a narrative through-line in series that don't seem to make any sense overall, and the more you meme about Kingdom Hearts, the more I want to see a Ross McIntyre video "Exploring the Kingdom Hearts Games."
I like how confused you guys were even after watching all six movies almost back to back.
Masterpieces. All of em.
@K R not masterpieces, but definitely good
These are pretty good adaptations of resident evil 6
I have a dream that one day I will be able to sit next to these beautiful men on camera and talk about a movie franchise
Ross if you need someone to guide you through the SAW franchise, I am your man. I have seen each entry at least 3 times at this point. And it has much of the same consistency of redcons and twists that make no sense as the resident evil series.
Snyder Cut review? You said in your QandA that you wanted to see it and I’d love to hear your thoughts after it’s out
2023 needs to be the year Ross finally folds does a kingdom hearts series video
hey Ross. please play the games. please. or watch somebody else play them. if you need advice on where to start or what the order is, I can make one. but please play the RE games, they’re worth your time and attention.

I have another question will you review the new upcoming Mortal Kombat Movie？
9:20 I still don't know why they set up Alice planning to storm Umbrella headquarters with an army of her clones at the end of Extinction if the clones were just going to be killed off at the start of Afterlife. And given how The Final Chapter retcons Alice into being a clone of the daughter of Umbrella's founder James Marcus Umbrella were cloning a clone during Extinction apparently.
Resident Evil: The Final Chapter is the Rise of Skywalker of this series.
So many retcons, different ingredients with the same results.
Yes, Actually it set the bar
Alice raided all the undercover bases until she got weskers.. that's why she hologram into there conference
I think I watched most of these movies, don't remember much but I always found them stupidly fun.
I like 1 and 2 but didn't even know their was a 6th. The amazing thing about the resident evil series is how cultural irrelevant they are. Being one of the 1st to the zombie trend, along with a growing cycnism of corporate power the films could have been a reference point for a generation.
I think it’s just because the years they were released in

I watched the sixth one on a theater and as I was watching it I fell my brain melting
1:50 that laser room sequence
I'm not ready for James to cut his hair
I didn't knew you had Matt Mercer as a friend
The score from the first movie is the best thing from the series.
Eh. I don't mind the first one. It's a decent watch. The 2nd and 3rd? Eh, 50/50. The rest I don't care for. Once you're done, just listen to Umbrella Chronicles [Resident Evil] (Parody of Rihanna's "Umbrella"). It will cure you.
I have a question did you watched the Mortal Kombat Movie Reboot 2021 trailer？
4:03 Is there where the Berserk 2016 anime took its sword sound effects from?
We need your opinion on the snyder cut
I liked the laser door.
That is it. Bye.

I love this review

They are Milla Jovovich and her husband money machine! :D
it is an acquired taste. you can't really compare it to the games. they are so different
I honestly like the movies more than the games
The franchise works best if you omit The Final Chapter like Paul W did the rest of the franchise.
Well you have to play the games
I know you have moved on from the types of videos, but will you be making a video on Flash Season 6 now that the season six storyline has ended? Speed Weed signing out with a referential joke
Bro let it go
Okay question has milla jovovich ever been in a genuinely good film or has shown any signs that she can act or she is just hired because of how hot she is
Buddy, she gets put in because her husband is a director. I’m not even joking
I mean Fifth Element was great

These movies are absolutely awful. A vanity project for the directors wife.
Second movie is alright, at least it's the one most like the games.
Fun Fact：The New Mortal Kombat movie is doing what the Resident Evil Movies have done
Second and 2 minutes late.
