Summary: Great Movie!
Review: Wow, awesome movie! I read so many bad reviews, but don't believe them. It's not "Citizen Kane" or anything, but it's slick and violent. Milla Jovovich does a fine job, as do the other actors. I'm only sorry that the sequel was cancelled (or so I hear)!

Summary: Good from a game, bad for a movie.
Review: For those of you who have not played the Resident Evil game, I suggest that you not purchase the DVD. The story line is unique but badly portrayed with corny scenes that makes you think "oh no, they're doing that matrix bit again". The zombies can be related to an 80's style dracula-like movie; the only real feeling you get is from the fast pumped and creepy music from Marilyn Manson, Slipknot, Static X, etc.All summed up, Aliens would of been a better purchase if you wanted to see a chick kick some [bottom].

Summary: Resident Evil - Made me wanna grab a controller...
Review: While the Resident Evil movie adaptation of the game didn't hold any Acadamy Award winning performances or groundbreaking special effects, it was a great popcorn movie. It was truly scary in some parts and had practically non-stop action throughout. During the action scenes, all I could keep saying was, "I wish I had a game controller and could play this!" That, and how cool it was.
The movie's musical score, composed by none other than Marilyn Manson, was really well done, adding a definite techno-horror feel to the film. One track, called "Seizure of Power", is a really driving piece of music which makes you lean forward in your seet while watching the movie, ready for whatever might come next.
The story line is rather original, actually. Anyone who was expecting it to be just like the first game was in for a major shock: it wasn't. The story follows a new line of characters, mostly an Umbrella Special Forces team, sent to the Raccoon City Secret Umbrella Lab (called the Hive) to shut down a haywire computer system that killed all the scientists in the lab after a T-Virus leak. It sounds kinda cheesy, but, believe me, the first time the Red Queen (computer system) warns the team to leave, chills will run all over you!
All in all, Resident Evil is a really fun action-horror film for both fans of the game and horror-movie buffs. It's a great movie to watch on a Friday night with some popcorn and a thunder storm outside!

Summary: Not like the game, but better!
Review: When I first heard about the movie, I was sceard. Why because of past game movies... I wont say any names but I think you can guess.
I am a Resident Evil fan and when the movie hit theaters I was't sure what it would be like. Well after seeing it and knowing what it was based upon, I was very impressed... It had some conection with the game, but was different all in the same.

Summary: Excellent movie.
Review: Resident Evil has provided what is possibly the best video game-movie in a long time. The only one that I feel can compete with it is Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, which was critically applauded but shunned due to poor advertising. Anyway, onto the movie. Although I've seen it called a gorefest, it is anything but. There's only one scene in the movie with a lot of blood, and it's pretty tame compared to some other stuff I've seen in movies (not to mention the games that actually inspired the movie). There is plenty of suspense and it is truly action-packed. The acting, while not amazing, gets the job done without being too bumpy. The plot is mildly empty (group of commandos gets trapped in a lab and must escape, pretty much), although fans of the game series will yum it up. Overall, this is a much better movie than I initially believed it to be. I went into the theater expecting it to be bad, but it turned out surprisingly well. I also found the editorial review to be mildly harsh; I was also offended by his/her generalizations involving video gamers (PlayStation "junkies").

Summary: The beauty of Resident Evil
Review: First off, I don't see why people have to rag this movie as much as they do. It was a damn good film that was true to the game in ways, yet original in others. Some people have said that the acting wasn't too good. I disagree. Milla and Michelle gave great performances, but my favorite character in the whole movie was Matt (Eric Mabius). I mean c'mon, he becomes the Nemesis for crying out loud. True, he didn't play a big part, but it was excellent nonetheless. The zombies could've been better, but what can ya do? It coulda been gorier, but again, what can ya do? The only way to get a real feel for the movie is to see it for yourself.

Summary: Excellent movie!!!
Review: This review may contain spoilers of the movie. At first I thought that this movie was going to be a desaster when I heard that the movie was going to have it's own story, and it's own characters, instead of taking them from the games. But Paul W.S. Anderson pulled it off with an amazing cast of actors such as Milla Jovovich(The Fifth Element), and Eric Mabius(The Crow: Salvation). But this movie did have a few downfalls, such as there was no Tyrant character that goes on a killing spree like in the games but instead they used the horrifying Licker creature from the game RE2. It would've been better if they had a Tyrant and a Licker. And I think they killed off to many people in the laser hallway scene. But other than that this movie is a must see. Also the ending is amazing (I wont ruin it for you but it sets it up for a spectacular sequel) Also i gotta get this off my chest, I hate it when someone writes a review on something and there trying to criticise it but they don't even know what the hell there talkin about.

Summary: well worth the wait
Review: I feel after many months of waiting for a Resident Evil movie and firing Romero from the project (would have been better) they came out with a decent and watchable movie. The movie follows the early beginnings of the games goes mostly to the prequel game though called Resident Evil zero (gamecube). The costumes and effects were done well and kept to the dark nature of the game. It comes down to being one of the best video game movies released yet. I mean what did it have a fight against Tombraider? but thats another story. The movie is well acted but they lose too much of the search party too early in. I mean 4 members 30 minutes into the movie that was overkill. All in all the movie was well worth the wait of almost 2 years of hype.

Summary: The Best Horror Movie Since the First HALLOWEEN!!!
Review: I went to see Resident Evil at the movie theaters, and it was GREAT. I'm not just saying this in defense as a fan of the games. The movie truly was the best horror movie since the very first Halloween movie. If you want great action and blood thirsty zombies, (or are just a great fan of the game) you'll want this DVD!
