    This movie has a special place in my heart. Years ago I made my son skip school (his teacher was horrible) and took him to see this movie at the movie theater. He was scared at the chase at the start but enjoyed the rest.

    My favorite Res movie. My favorite part was the beginning when you see all the chaos in the city. I rewatched the battle between the cops and zombies so many times as a kid. The most interesting part of a zombie scenario for me is the initial outbreak phase, when you see everything starting to fall apart, watching the government trying to stop it. Wish more movies focused on this part, feel like they skip through it, rushing to get to the typical “survivors” vs zombies.

    As a "What if" scenario the first two movies are pretty fun and somewhat of a guilty pleasure of mine, the rest of the series... Kind of went the same way as the games and not in a good way.

    This is the best live action resident evil movie in my opinion.
    The story was good enough and the characters were enjoyable also seeing the RE3 intro in the movie was pretty cool.
    The soundtrack was superb (killswitch engage & slipknot)
    Also jill valentine was spot on 👌
    I really wish they stuck more closely to the games instead of a global outbreak.

    • @wren7195
      @wren7195 2 роки тому +1

      Agreed, by far my favourite RE movie, and I was a horribly hardcore RE fan. This was before there was any sort of unified vision across any media, so there were the games, the "novels," the... uh, "cinematic universe (which I was fortunate enough to watch the latter iterations while in a long stay at hospital, by far the best way. Drugs and potential infections zombie or otherwise? Sure)." For me it was just pure fun, all the forms.
      I even have my own Resident Evil themed card/board game that I can't get licensed, so please look for it on a Hong Kong boulevard near you, soon!
      Seriously though, I really enjoyed this movie. I'm glad they stuck with the R ratings, despite zombie strippers, and although it was fun to see a pretty dang accurate version of Nemesis on screen, I have to say it was the entire swap of the Code Veronica intro for Alice near the climax of the movie that did it for me. A lot of fun, even if I'm not the biggest fan of the villains/narratives regarding the cinematic series, they're still fun actionzombie flicks, and Mila's one of the most certified bad ass women on film in history.
      Best wishes Steel

    As a resident evil fan and a Toronto resident it was great when they filmed this in the city. We literally had several umbrella cars driving around and they closed down the town hall to film for a bit.
    Plus seeing "racoon city" as toronto and it blowing up at the end was great.
    To me this was the one good resident evil movie and as close as we got to a proper Racoon city outbreak - which is interesting because its the one Paul W.S Anderson wasnt involved in.

    • @Gillan1220
      @Gillan1220 2 роки тому

    What I love most about this Resident Evil sequel is the score by Jeff Dana. It was spot on. It was suspenseful and action packed. The orchestra performed this score with precision and a relentless pace. It was great to see Oded Fehr in this film. The last time I saw him was in the miniseries Splinter Cell and the first two Mummy films.
    I didn’t play the video games. But the films gave me an idea of what the story was about.

    I will defend the first and second Resident Evil live action movies any day. They are great zombie flicks. I'm not a big fan of the games so I won't say they are good adaptations because I can't comment on that but they are really good zombie movies. Especially the second one which I love that the setting is an entire city. The budget to portray an entire city is rare in zombie movies, especially well acted and directed ones.

    Bitch all you want, apocalypse is the only one to actually give us the closest thing to a true adaptation of the games and is what we WANT. The first movie was an excellent starting point and lack of notable heroes from the game made you feel for the characters safety and anyone could die and I loved it, however, apocalypse should have been the 3rd movie and the second one should have been Chris and Jill investigating the mansion after the hive being opened up and zombies all around the mansion and they unveil many secrets like how Angie is actually Alexia and introducing wesker and mentioning birkin or something.
