Summary: Here comes more Zombies!
Review: Hello, I am a huge fan of the R.E. series (video games). They were really freaky and fun to play. The movie though, was a little disappointing. I still love the movie, but it didn't follow very much of the game and the zombies were not scary looking! The action is really good though. I dont recall bein HIGH or anything, but i remember seein some of the same zombies in different scenes. They die and then they come back for more later in the movie. That was pretty strange. Plus, there was barely any gore in the film. Movies with zombies, mean movies with a ton of BLOOD AND GUTS! I just saw the remake of DAWN OF THE DEAD in theaters, and it makes R.E. look like a kiddie movie (rated G or PG). The musical score of the movie, done by Marylin Manson, was AWESOME! That kept the movie in a steady state of COOLNESS! The acting was good too. I love watchin Milla (Alice) runnin around (...) I really hope APOCALYPSE is goin to be good. It should be, with NEMESIS in it that is. (...) In this next round of FUN, Jill is also joining in, and some other people, who i forgot about. (...) this [may] be one of the best sequels ive seen in a while.

Summary: Jill Valentine is a smoker...Ewww.
Review: I always imagined Jill to be a goody two shoes who could kick @$$, here she's reinvented as a bad @$$, smokin',shootin', cursin' and for the most part it works. RE: APOCALYPSE begins right after the end of RESIDENT EVIL, somehow the T-virus has escaped infecting the city, Alice has escaped but has been genetically altered into a killing machine now she must stop the horrors loose in the city. The movie is a lot busier than the first with an entire city destroyed by the virus. Alice teams up with Jill a member of S.T.A.R.S a specially trained squad of some sort. The plot consists of finding a missing girl escaping from mutated monsters and escaping the city unfortunatly they also have bigger problems literally, namely THE NEMESIS, the reporter from the previous movie has been mutated into a killing machine programmed to kill the S.T.A.R.S and Alice. The Characters once again seem to bond into a family and it actually made me care who lived or died. The end of the movie was left open for yet another sequel hopefully it will be the last part of a trilogy. EP

Summary: An interesting flick to see
Review: I believe this movie will put Resident Evil back into the good ol' zombie genre. The first Resident Evil was ok, to put it bluntly, the movie was very much different from the game as well as the books. The movie also didn't contain enough action and therefor left one sitting there looking at their watch. I would also watch which reviews I read here, as many of them are most likely written by 10 year olds who sit at home and play Resident Evil games all day. Overall, as a Zombie genre fan, I can only hope that the release of Resident Evil: Apocolypse, as well as, the remake of Dawn of the Dead do great in the box office.

Summary: closer to 3 stars
Review: i didnt have high expectations to be crushed simply because this isnt that kind of franchise.this isnt like the disaster AvsP is.nothing is.but this is a typical big budget action/horror movie.i dont beleive in leaving my brain,the most important part of most movie goers,at the door,but i didnt have to.i kinda got the gist from part one and this continues from that well.if i were a rabid R/E fan then maybe i would be more thrilled with this.video games turned into movies doesnt really get my undying attention.something about it seems for lack of a better word,''fake''.i liked it enough where as i wasnt bored.i took whatever i saw for granted,i didnt get a headache if everything didnt make sense.so on those terms,its not a bad movie,coming from a person not a R/E fan to begin with.

Summary: Who cares?
Review: I don't play video games. Never have and perhaps never will, since I got too many things to do with my time than sit still and play games for hours, so I don't know what are all the fuss about Nemesis and other characters from those games. I'm only interested in how entertaining this movie is gonna be and how much of MJ nudity I get again. Hehehe. Since I don't have experience with RE games, I get to enjoy RE movies without any prejudice. In that respect, I feel pretty lucky, specially in these days, many vido-games-turned-movies are out like Tomb Raider and stuff. That actually goes to comics-turned-movies stuff too because I don't look at those comics. Hahaha.

Summary: BEST MOVIE BASED ON A GAME TO DATE
Review: I know for some people it's not saying much but in this case it is;the RE games have always been my favorite games of all time and the movie is no exceptions; the movie has great action,it's fast-paced, good-but not great-story i'm not going to go over the story because you probaly already seen the movie or read the reviews already.
If you like a good action movie(ignore the movie critics who seem to think there opinion are the only one that matters)get this movie.

Summary: HellZ YEAH!!!
Review: I LOVE Resident Evil. It started when I was 5 and saw my older brother playing the old school version on PS. (see my review for the Gamcube game)Now I'm 14 and still love it!!!!!!
Even though it's noting like the game, it still ROCKS! When I saw the beauty product trailer and then saw the virus in the tube and the doberman dog, I immediatley knew it was the sequel trailer. On the first movie's DVD commentary with the director and producer, they talked about the same trailer, but said they never used it, now I'm glad. If they had used the product commercial for the original, it talks about looking young forever and side effects, and no one would understand it, but now that people have seen the first and know all that mumbo jumbo, it's more of a surprise for RE fans. I REALLY can't wait to see this with my brother.

Summary: Be Prepared - This is EXACTLY what you think
Review: I watched the third (and hopefully final) installment of the Resident Evil series last night (Resident Evil:Apocalypse).
You should see it if you want to see the most expensive (tens of
millions) and well done violent zombie destruction - huge monsters with
rocket launchers- exploding helicopter machine gun violence - fashion
models with dual machine guns - even a good nuclear explosion - ever put
in a movie. In addition, all the heros are really fashion models
(really, they are.). There is also no dialogue. Really. Not even a
little. Just screaming, barking of orders and commands to "LAUNCH!!!".
The best part about the movie is that the plot is so horribly
unbelievable it borders on comically insane. Characters that were
formerly captured and imprisoned suddenly show up fully armored, healed
and ready to save the day. The story is not even cohesive in any manner,
and is so absurdly indigestible as to be insulting. Suspension of belief
doesn't even begin to cut it and at some points in the movie I was
forced to yell "OH COME ON!!" in disgust. Deus Ex Machina literally
rains down from the sky like a hurricane. It was clearly written by a 12
year old, and a poorly educated one at that.
But the explosions are great. Especially the nuke. Highly
recommended. A+++++

Summary: Much Better Than The First ...
Review: I, for one, hated the first film. I found only the film's last few minutes to be the only noteworthy thing about the entire movie. The first film boasted bad CGI effects, an annoying soundtrack, piss poor make-up effects and its biggest flaw was the fact that it did NOT utilize what made the RE games so great. That has all been corrected in the slam bang sequel, however. Non-stop action and the films fast-pace nature helps the viewer forget about the film's weaknesses. And the film's weakness is mainly the script written by Paul W.S. Anderson ("Resident Evil," "Alien Vs. Predator"). Weak dialogue and a flimsy story are certainly things that may completely annoy a less-forgiving viewer. The film's direction by Alexander Witt is fair but flawed. I, for one, hate the use of slow motion and sped up frames. However, with a bigger budget that improved the CGI and makeup made it possible to make RE: Apocalypse an action packed and entertaining way of spending an evening. Just don't over-analyze the film and watch it for what it is. A 'leave your brain at the door' horror/action film. Admittedly, the last fifteen minutes or so leave much to be desired. But RE: APocalypse boasts some nice gore, top notch T&A (which includes zombie hookers and Milla Jovovich) and cool homages to some older Zombie flicks.

Summary: Best Story EVER!!!
Review: It's not like you won't have a clue if you don't see the first movie but if your a major movie buff and and need to know the in's and out's then watch it!
This movie was a great second to the first. It continued where the first movie left off and kept Milla Jovavich in it which was an added bonus.
It may be somewhat different than the video games but the storyline in the movie was put together very nicely. Definitely a change in pace from the first movie whereas almost everybody dies and now most of them survive. Yet, don't get me wrong. Not everyone makes it out alive or is able to resist the T-virus mutation.
The zombies in this movie were excellant as well. They had a eerieness to them being shot in slow motion (in the beginning) and looked very realistic. As realistic as one would imagine a zombie to be. And, beeing a fan of die hard Horror movies, I have to say that these zombies get 2 thumbs up from me! The director didn't focus too much on them so as not to make this appear as another "Dawn of the Dead" movie. He kept up with them and the story line which was great.
I admit, when I first seen Nemisis I was a bit taken back. I couldn't help but thinking the whole movie had just gone down the toilet with an oversize monster. But, having faith in the first Resident Evil and watching on I was quite surprised to see how well they integrated him into the sequel. It was better than to be expected.
If you love science fiction, horror, and the unknown testing of viral weaponry (or however you spell it) and all of those hidden government labs which claim to not be doing what they are doing, then you will love this move and the first one as well. It keeps you on the edge of your seat and keeps your interest up the very last minute, leaving you hungry for more!
