Summary: Great game, turned good movie. Nothing Special though.
Review: I have played all the games in the RE series (even the crappy Game Boy one) So I kinda knew the basics of the Resident Evil world. This movie is a prequel to the first RE game, showing how the virus infected Racoon City. Pretty good story, and special effects, but the acting and camera work could be better.

For the life of me can't see how they got the microphone in so many scenes in this film, every other shot you see the damn thing hanging over the actor's heads.

If you liked the RE video games, you'll like this movie more then most. And you'll get the little "hints" that people who haven't played the game won't, like "I want him in the Nemisis Project". Someone who plays the RE games knows the "Nemisis" is the main bad guy from RE3 on the Playstation. But as a zombie movie, it is ok, nothing special.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: KICKS...
Review: First of all, I've never played the Resident Evil game. So I saw this movie as it is and not what is expected of it. All I can say is this movie kicks... The action is continous and hardly a minute came out boring. The acting ain't perfect but this is not an Oscar bound movie. But the most important thing is it's creepy & scary. All I can think of is what if I was inside the Hive. All these zombies, dogs, monsters coming out everywhere you turn. I can't wait for the DVD. If I can get a bootleg one I would. But I'm gonna be watching this movie over and over again.Especially late at night in the dark . Awesome!!!

Summary: Heart-Pounding Suspense...
Review: I have to say that I was very disappointed in the editor's review of this movie...

Resident Evil was a very well done suspense ride. I don't normally go to theaters to see horror flicks. I went to Res Evil primarily because I am a fan of the games. The first whole half of the movie was nothing but build-you-up-on-the-edge-of-your-seat suspense. Wash the second half down with a tall glass of anxiety, fear, and anxiousness. Very well done effects, lighting and sound! The story stayed very true to the games and even had a great tie-in with the third game in the series "Nemesis". What was even beter about this movie was the ending. Nowadays great movies get slaughtered by horrible endings. This ending was simple, clean, and to the point - Milla Jovovich is coming back for a sequel to kick more zombie butt!

Bottom line is - on July 30th, go buy this DVD or rent it, pop some pop corn, get a nice cold soda, curl up on your couch with a loved one, and get the hell scared right into you :)

Summary: Special Effects are not all a movie needs.
Review: It bothers me to see that almost all adaptions of Video Games to the screen focus entirely on special effects and not on plot. Unfortunately Resident Evil is not the exception. The zombie gore and grosseness is all there is to focus on in the film so the viewer is left waiting for the credits to roll. There is no balance between the plot and the action. Leaving this film lacking and boring.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Prequel to the best series of Games
Review: When i first heard about this movie I thought heck yeah, this is gonna take right off the games and when I heard George A. Romero was writing the script I was enthrilled even more. I later found out that he was fired and his script would be scrapped, that really (made me mad) especially after reading Romero's original draft for the movie. I found out they were going to have a new story with new characters and only 3 monsters: the zombies, howlers, and licker. I got back into it because I found out this was going to be a prequel to the games giving them a back-story. I downloaded it first off the internet to see if it was truly good and it was. Then I saw it in theatres. It was excellent, it suprised that the guy who did Mortal Kombat: Anihilation did this film. This film was really a one of a kind deal and a great risk because it didn't follow the games but it followed through. I will buy the dvd, you should too.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: the perfect adaptation
Review: An adaptation of possibly the greatest video game series of all time, resident evil the movie takes everything loved from the games and puts it on the silver screen. even without the popular known characters you find that they relate in many ways to the characters in the movie, Janus Prospero AKA Alice is the movies Jill Valentine, she gives the true feeling of survival of the fittest or death of the afraid. Even The Hive gives the incorporation of the original mansion, the center of the creation of the epedimic virus, T-Virus, as they move closer to the center the more they uncover, and the greater the fear rises.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Must see movie!!
Review: For all who have played the games and for those that haven't. It was a Fantastic Movie,I seen it twice in the theater and I can't wait for the video the come out so I can buy it. It has a great storyline and and wonderful cast.The ending was breathtaking and quite creative,It definitly leaves you hanging and hoping for the sequel.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Video Game Movies have been Redeemed
Review: It seems no coincidence that the best Video Game series ever created also became the best Video Game Movie to date. RE is amazing, the movie is true to its VG brothers, the environments are perfect. The creepy atmosphere, the terror of being eaten alive, the stress in trying to conserve your dwindleing supply of Ammo. Also, to all of those who said there wasn't enough gore, Paul Anderson had to cut out some scenes to avoid a NC-17 rating, but he said that he would probably include them in the DVD. If movie buffs will remember, Romero's Living Dead movies almost had X ratings because of the gore factor. So don't diss the movie just because some shots had to be cut for the theatrical version. RE RULES
