Rating: Summary: Resdient Evil for LIFE Review: I thought when I saw Lara Croft: Tomb Raider it was a good adaption of bringing a video game heroine to life.Final Fantasy's Aki Ross was OK, but not as good... But that is until I saw Resident Evil. What a spectatular prequel. It even beats the Phantom Menace. What a way to show the events that led up to the best RPG game series that Capcom has ever created. Alice is a kick-butt heroine and if they were to keep creating Resident Evil movies, I would want her to come back and play Jill Valentine (for all those who know Resident Evil 1 and Nemesis) Speaking on Nemesis, it is amazing how they incorporated Matt into becoming that horrid creature. That guy still gives me the willies when he jumps around the corner to kill me. (Tee hee hee). I am waiting for the warning that Resident Evil is coming on DVD. I am going to be standing in line overnight, just to get the very first copy.
Rating: Summary: Resident Evil Review: A deadly virus that breaks out, zombies, and a crazed computer, what else can you ask for in a movie. This movie contains many elements that makes it a 5 star film, for instance, the film has a very well movie translation from the video game. Then to add to it, the beautiful and talented Michelle Rodriguez as a perfect pick of playing the role of Rain, and Milla Jovovich as Alice. The movie constantly keeps you wondering what will happen next, it is very suspensful. ...
Rating: Summary: Pleasantly surprised Review: I must say, I certainly didn't have high hopes for this movie. I've been a fan of the video game series since the first game was released back in the spring of 1996. I can't remember when the movie was announced, but it was a very long time ago. I want to say 1998, not long after Resident Evil 2 was released. I think I was a little optimistic at the news, but months and months went by with no more word of the movie actually being made, just rumors that George Romero was possibly being brought on to direct, and then that he wasn't. Finally, the first details and publicity photos emerged. It looked and sounded... well, pretty bad. It was revealed that the plot revolved around an "evil computer". This wasn't good news, since NONE of the games involve such. It sounded like it was going to be yet another weak video game cash-in; "Ah, who cares what's in the games, that stuff won't work in a movie. We'll start from scratch, as long as there's zombies in it, those mindless, idiot gamers will be happy." I pretty much lost interest in it. But then couple of months ago I saw the trailers, and my curiosity was once again piqued. It looked like it might actually not [that horribly bad]. ... After finally seeing it tonight, I'm happy to say that this movie did a damn good job of invoking the feel and atmosphere of the RE games. It isn't 100% dead-on, it took a few liberties... but they were never really a detriment. It stands up to the games very well, and it's a good popcorn/horror flick in its own right. There were a few moments when I was truly HORRIFIED. I really don't think it's necessary to have played the games to enjoy this movie, not at all. But if you have played them, you'll enjoy it all the more so. No, it isn't the Greatest Film of the Year. It's just a fun, bloody, action/horror movie.
Rating: Summary: Great Movie by Daniel Review: First off the movies great-- just read the title, it's about a group of people who go to an underground Umbrella labarotory to shut down a computer that's causing chaos, and at the same time fight off zombies, hunters, and mutant dogs. There are parts that are not good for little kids, such as people being sliced into peices by a lasergrid, and there is a fair amount of R-rated scenes such as foul language, blood, and scary parts. I don't think it's based on one of the video games, just telling how it began, but it has the standard bad guy(s) or traitors like every Resident Evil Product. The only two cons is that the script is sometimes bad and the ending [stinks]. Overall it's worth paying money for a ticket.
Rating: Summary: Best Movie Of 2002! Review: I went to see this movie twice in theaters and enjoyed it both times. They did an awesome job making this movie and I can't wait til it comes out on video.
Rating: Summary: Shockingly Good Review: I went to see Resident Evil, and I had never played the games(Not like it matters much). I wasn't expecting a good movie, I simply expected a movie just made primarly for money. My thoughts changed after seeing it. Resident Evil is a fantastic movie. Milla Jovovich did a great job as Alice. Michelle Rodriguez also played her character extremely well as a matter of fact. Paul Anderson did a good job with directing this film and I give him credit because I saw Mortal Kombat, which he directed, and thought he did a horrible job. Resident Evil has the state-of-the-art special effects. Specially with the laser grid part. The Licker, the one monster, looked really cool. I don't want to give away any of this movie, but a little advice. Be prepared to jump because I was so shocked I jumped seven times. Enjoy! I know you will.
Rating: Summary: RESIDENT EVIL:The Movie Review: I new that Resident Evil would be a movie. The games were really good, so i new. That Movie was the best one I've seen in a long time. There were a few things I thought were similar to other movies. BUT WHEN RESIDENT EVIL COMES OUT ON VIDEO OR DVD, BUY IT! I liked all the effects. The people were different from the games, but the scenario the same. I believe Resident Evil will have a sequel to it. It should be a good movie series.
Rating: Summary: A Really Good Movie Review: I loved it. The only flaes I found were the lack of creatures(I WANTED MY HUNTERS!!), and the fact that the people you feel bad for are who you have grown to HATE, or really dislike...Umbrella operatives. The movie answered the question "Where did Nemisis come from?". I liked what they did with the licker though. I give it a 4/5
Rating: Summary: Resident Evil Review: I have only seen the trailer for this but it was enough to send shivers down my spine. A must see when its unleashed.
Rating: Summary: Capcom's Resident Evil on the Big Screen! Review: To my surprise, Resident Evil was a excellent movie. I really did enjoy Anderson's, "Mortal Kombat" so it was no surprise that I would enjoy this movie. Don't get me wrong though, because I did have my doubts about this movie. Most video game movies tend to flop for example, Street Fighter and Super Mario Brothers. Don't get Paul Anderson confused with Mortal Kombat Annihilation because he had nothing to do with that HORRIBLE movie.
The movie actually takes place one month prior to the Playstation Game Resident Evil and ends at some point within Resident Evil 2 and 3. How? I will explain later in the review. The only think I disliked about the movie was the mansion set used in the movie itself. It looked nothing like the Mansion used in PSOne Resident Evil. The interior of the mansion followed the style of PSOne Resident Evil, but many hardcore gamers will immediately point out that the Mansion is completely different on the outside. Every thing else follows close the game format and can possibly be tied into the game.
Many people will immediately identify Milla Jovovich and Michelle Rodriquez in the movie. Other actors are no names, but one actor named Eric Mabius is one to keep a eye on. The movie is centered around a huge underground laboratory under Raccoon City called the Hive which is owned and operated by the Umbrella Corporation. A virus is unleashed by a insider within the Hive and you know what comes next...Zombies Galore! If you remember the games, Umbrella is known for one thing, cover ups and they attempt to cover up this mess by completely sealing the Hive off with everyone trapped inside. A special ops team is dispatched to clean up the mess by making sure if this leaks to the public, Umbrella will not be blamed. Milla is dragged into the mess not knowing that she also works for Umbrella. When the team fails to accomplish thier mission, their new mission is to get out of the Hive ALIVE! Get ready for some excellent nail biting suspense and action as they attempt to get out of the Hive.
It has been announced that a Resident Evil 2 is in the works already and will star Milla Jovovich and Eric Mabius who will play the "Nemesis". Resident Evil ends somewhere within PS1 Resident Evil 2 and 3. You have to remember that in the PS1 Resident 3, PS1 Resident Evil 2 took place when Jill Valentine was injurned and poisened by the Nemesis. Two other characters from the game will be showing up in Resident Evil 2. Gina Phillips will be cast as Claire Redfield and Natasha Henstridge will be cast as Jill Valentine. This is going to be interesting to see them together on the screen when they never really met in the Playstation Game Series Resident Evil. We know that Claire was in Raccoon City looking for her brother Chris and Jill Valentine was attempting to get out of Raccoon City Alive. I sure can't wait to see how Paul Anderson will bring this movie together in Resident Evil 2. If you are a fan of Resident Evil, I know you can't wait too!
