Summary: A very cool movie!
Review: Being a huge fan of Resident Evil I think this movie was very good. I've got everything from the novels, comics, games and figures. And believe me this movie will be in my collection as well. I think it is really neat to see characters come to life that you have run into while playing the game like the dogs, the licker, zombies and the virus itself. If you are a fan of Resident Evil, it is my personal opinion that you can not go wrong with this movie. you have got to check it, I'm positive you will like it!

Summary: Flawed, But Very Good
Review: I would rate the video game movies like this:

1- Resident Evil
2- Mortal Kombat
3- Final Fantasy
4- Tomb Raider
5- Mortal Kombat: Anilation
6- Double Dragon
7- Street Fighter

The history of video game movies has been rocky, but this one restores my faith in the genre. I saw it twice in the theatre, and I will be watching it a infinite amount of times on DVD. Something I did not like about it was the lack of gore. That is something Resident Evil [the game] had been known for. But it did not disappoint me as much as other games to movie adaptations. It starts out with a fatal mistake of a virus being unleashed in a place called The Hive. A computer then kills everyone in the building. A elite team of soldiers has been sent to clean up the mess. It's ending leaves it wide open for a sequel, which I really REALLY want to see. Mill Jovovich gives a great performance in the movie along with the other actors. This is a good movie and you will most likely enjoy it.

Summary: it [was not good]
Review: I dont understand where all the gore went. Thirteen ghosts was filled with gore that was not needed,this film is based on a video game that was bloody from start to finish,its rated R so why? No zombies show up for 40 min and you only see one mutant creature.The dogs are killed off too fast and with no originality,and yet another slow motion matrix ripoff jump kick. What a waste,they had 40 million dollars and millia jovovich and this is there best.dawn of the dead had almost no money,but they have a 2hr nonstop zombie masterpiece.watch it instead.

Summary: KICK ... Resident Evil the best movie for spring!!!!!
Review: I went and seen this movie the second day it came out, and when i got out of there, I was amazed. If you like action, horror, blood, AND gore. I would highly recommend this movie for you. Also if you like Marilyn Manson, you will like the score to the movie as well. I have been a fan of the game since it first came out, and I loved the movie. Paul W.S. Anderson the director of Mortal Kombat, and the fun horror flick Event Horizon steps up as writer and the director of this nonstop gorefest. You don't have to be a fan of the game to see it, it is still kick... movie if you like the horror genre. GO SEE IT :)

Summary: "Resident Evil" good, but could have been better
Review: I have always had a keen interest in zombie moviesand horror films and have spent time watching some of George A Romearo's classics such as night of the living dead etc.. Resident Evil is a movie trying to get out of its shell, it has the potential to be a great movie with some tweaks. As I watched the movie and it quite frequently kept jumping from place to place giving no real focus on ceratin parts of the film, not giving you time to settle. No real description of the chracters was given at the start of the movie, and it wasn't until half-way through you finally really found out what was going on. On the good side this film did offer some good scare factors with some well crafted zombie sceanes and fancy lazer rooms (if not seen before) Milla Jovovich and Michelle Rodriguez do a good job as the lead roles in this film and play there parts well. I did see this film before it comes out in the UK and I will see in the cinema before I pass my final judgement.

The main point I really have to make is resident evil doesn't go out of its way to shock you do death with gore, unlike George A Romearo's Dawn of the dead and day of the dead sequal's to the very good night of the living dead, which did have a genuine scare factor. Dawn of the dead and day of the dead are fairly OK films but George Romearo just slapped them with gore and expected you to be scared, I was basically discussed. Those films were a far cry from such comedy classics such as Braindead, which I think is banned in America (shame on you). Anyway i'm getting away from the point if you like zombie films go see Resident evil, if you love films with a fantastic story and amazing acting this film is not for you. Ignor some of the patchy story and you will love it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Resident Evil-best movie!! Hope people see it for a sequel!!
Review: I would have to say that Resident Evil is the best movie that has came out recently so far. I hope the rates go up so the fans of the game itself can be able to see the sequel. The story made up was awesome, AT MOST, it didn't have changes within clothes, uniform, STORYLINE, and not to mention the NAMES LIKE T-Virus, etc. I hope more fans take in view of this real awesome movie and makes its boost towards the roof....

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It doesn't get any better than this- Paul W.S Anderson Rules
Review: Wow!

I'm a big fan of Horror movies and have probably seen hundreds of them over the years, especially enjoying what the 80's had to offer, but Andersons Resident Evil has taken the genre to a new high standard.

This is a slick production with great perfomances from a mostly unknown cast, and the action sequences were worth the admission fee's alone(Watch for the Zombie Dog scene, its breath taking). It would seem that they have gone to a lot of trouble to remain true to the game which preceeds it, and it was certianly worth the effort. Crammed with plenty of great action scenes, gore, suspense and pure horror throughout, this is a dance with adrenalin itself.

If you enjoyed the game, then this is a must see, you wont be disappointed. When finally released, I will definately be adding the DVD to my library(In pride and place no less) and I'm holding my breath for RE2 ..... I hope its soon, 'cause Raccoon City is under seige.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: From a Jock to the Early Masses
Review: ...I have always felt that Paul Anderson would sooner or later get into his stride,(Event Horizon is an cult classic in the making) but he finally does it here in true style. this is not a man making a film for the studio suit's or to simply get a lower rating to pack more kids in but as a true fan of the game.
Does he suceed ?
F##k YEAH !
+ Plus points: Jovovich and Madius both give great parts while Rodriguez steals every sceen she's in (wait for the blood Driping taunt part ;). It also work as a who-dunnit as you see at the start of the film when a mystery figure releases the virus. Marilyn Manson's composed score is briliant, the guy has hidden depths to his talents and is a must for any sequels !
- Minus. points: Few, a few people will liken a certain scene to CUDE but i still think this is cooler. Also the main beasty(LICKER) is a little too C.G.I.
++ Eyes Peeled: The final shot with Manson's main theme will have you screaming for the sequel !(and hopefully a full Trilogy)
P.S. second to last scene watch carefully for cool shot when Milla falls of the gurney ;) < that i really mean !!!
