Summary: Milla Jovovich Kicks Butt!!!
Review: This is a remarkable movie that provides lots of action combined with suspense. Milla Jovovich gives an excellent performance and proves that she has what it takes to carry off the lead in an action movie.

While the storyline stuck with the games very well, it also was done in a way to entertain anyone who has never played the games. The action starts at the beginning and lasts to the end, leaving you gasping for breath and begging for more. Some scenes actually had the audience applauding at their conclusions.

I so hope for a sequal.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: faithful to the game
Review: The ending for the movie is a good setup for a sequel and will probably be similar th RE 2. I liked the fact that the ending explained who NEMESIS from RE 3 was and where it came from. I was pretty happy with the video game to movie transition.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Return of the fun horror film
Review: I just got back from seeing "Resident Evil". The theater was packed with college kids out for a good time on a Saturday night. They sure got it. I was pleasantly surprised by how the movie managed to consistently dish out screams, laughs, and action-packed roller-coaster thrills. It's not Shakespeare, but it was a really entertaining movie.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: One H*** of a Ride
Review: I'm a big RE fan (since that first zombie seen in RE 1 that made everyone jump). Now, I'm wary of video game-based movies, but I also remember a movie the director did called "Event Horizon." I must say, I'm impressed, not only with the plot, which fits nicely into the whole RE storyline, but also the choice in actors, the visual effects, and of course, the "jump" factor. It does help if you are familiar with the games (there are references to lickers, hunters, and the Nemesis), but if you like being scared, you'll like the movie. This was an awesome movie, and I look foward to owning it on DVD.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: All in all worth watching
Review: I cannot believe how many people post reviews based on previews and what they have read. I saw it last night and some of the rumors should be cleared up. The movie does not have Jill Valentine in it, and the Licker does not "gain power" by eating zombies. Now....
I really enjoyed the movie. There is a girl who is reeeeeally ripped off of the "tough chick" in other survival horror movies, the movie rips off Dawn of the Dead (almost word for word at one point) and other movies stated here in other reviews, and it does not have the same feel at all as the game, but I can't help it -- Despite all my criticisms, I really enjoyed it. The music is really unique and I think contributes a lot to the overall mood. My main beef with the film is that it is not a movie about zombies, monster plants, hunters, lickers and tyrants and everything like the games are, but it is a movie about zombies. Zombies and one monster. Still, gotta love the zombie dogs, been waitin my whle life to see zombie dogs, lemme tell ya. The ending is pretty good, I think, and hopefully the movie will do well and the sequel they have planned will get to be made.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Scariest Movie I've seen
Review: I do like seeing scary movies, so I saw previews for this so I thought I'd check it out. Well I liked it scared me to death if the filmakers make Resident Evil 2 hope they make it scarier all the zombies looked scary. So if you really like horror flicks go see this.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Resident Evil Delivers!
Review: Though I was skeptical about RE, not expecting too much considering it was yet another video- game- turned- movie epic, I was very pleasently suprised! This movie rocks. Considering the delays in production, plot rewrites, and even directorial changes (evidently George Romero was writing and directing at one point) this movie is fast paced, exciting and fresh. It fits in the RE timeline nicely and incorporates the key elements of the games. Director Paul Anderson (who did a fine job with Mortal Kombat) is obviously a fan of RE, treating the source material with respect. I believe the R rating helped this film succeed in conveying the feeling of anxiety and dread that the M rated game does. Sure some folks complain about how derivative it is of the "Living Dead films, like Dawn of the Dead( George we luv ya-please follow up Day of the Dead!), The Matrix , Aliens, 2001, Momento etc. I don't agree with them. I think the director pays a certain homage to them- but then again the video game was obviously influenced by these things! I found the music terrific also. Go see it ! You will be suprised how much you will enjoy ! ;-)

Summary: Best video game-to-movie adaptation to date!
Review: ...I saw this beautiful gem of a movie on the opening night! Definitely the best video game adaptation to date so far for the big screen. While the acting and plot may not have been the strongest, it definitely left me entertained and eagerly awaiting the next installment. The information presented in the movie links the mansion with Raccoon City, as well as a decent description of how the T-Virus created the zombies after the squad arrived 6 hours onto the scene.

The initial confusion is a bit annoying, but once the flashbacks are experienced and the reason for the "confusion" are revealed you'll go, "Ohh...I get it."

The use of new characters on Anderson's part was brilliant as people couldn't figure out who lived and who died, if they didn't read any interviews with Paul anderson, the director. The use of special effects wasn't that much, as least not what the trailers show. Most of the SFX scenes are in the trailer, the rest is brilliant use of prosthetics and make-up, good ol'movie magic! For a movie done with such a low-budget, it sure as hell surprised me! Definitely recommend it if you are a hardcore RE fan or if you just want something to get your blood pumping. It'll be #1 in the box office for one week though, cause next week is 'Blade 2'...

Rating: 3 stars

Summary: Pretty awesome!
Review: This movie was pretty cool. I'm a fairly big fan of the games, and I though it was well illustrated on film. The action was fast, the violence was gratuitous, and Milla Jovovich was sexy. ... Fun stuff. The zombies are creepy, and the licker (don't ask) is just plain freaky. Go see this flick. It's a fun time at the movies. ...
