Summary: IT'S GONNA BE AWESOME!!!
Review: I am a hard-core Resident Evil fan and just like all RE fans, I was a bit uneasy at first about it not being EXACTLY like the first game. But really, would you want to watch a horror movie where the point of it is to be scared and suprised, when you already know EXACTLY what happens, who dies, who lives and stuff like that. NO! So it isn't exactly the same, big deal. The company is still Umbrella, the city is still Raccoon City, there are still most of the same enemies, the storyline is still practically the same with some differences, and the freshness of characters and slightly tweaked plot will add a new edge of scare and thrill to the RE experience. I say to all RE people out there to give it a chance if you are a true loyal fan. The person who gave it one star doesn't know what they're talking about (it IS in Raccoon City as previously stated), and from my knowledge and rumors I've heard the sequel could be even BETTER and MORE exciting (loosly based on RE 2 and 3?). I say its gonna be GREAT and exciting to see my favorite series come to life on the big screen. Resident Evil is da BOMB!

Summary: The blood bath begins
Review: This is a popcorn movie, don't expect something original.Don't expect something that makes sense.The only thing you'll have to worry about, is the action...and come on, this movie is packed up with action, blood, scary zombies and the godess Milla Jovovich(Seen in some other great movies like `The fifth element' and `Joan of Arc').

The Cast:
Milla Jovovich, Michelle Rodriguez and Eric Mabius.A great cast.
Young, pretty and talented.
Michelle Rodriguez(From `Girlfight' and `The fast and the furious') is Rain, one of the 3 females of the SWAT group.
She's rude, violent, strong and still hot.This girl knows how to kick hard.
Milla Jovovich is Alice, she losted her memorie and can't remember what was her mission.
She's so beautiful, and she knows how to kick hard too.
Eric Mabius is Matt(I think it was Matt), he was found with Alice inside the mansion, the SWAT team thinks he's undercover.
He can't fight, but he can win Alice's hart.

The story:
Alice wakes up inside a Rocoon City mansion.When a SWAT team enters the mansion, she realizes that they are getting ready to enter The Hive.
The Hive, is an underground laboratory that created this T virus that can bring the dead people alive.
The red queen, the Hives "mind" killed everybody inside.
The team's mission is to find out what happened and destroy the T Virus.

The Bad guys:
Zombies, dogs, the red queen and The Licker.
The workers of the Hive are dead, but know thanks to the virus they are hungry and walking.
The dogs were for secret experiments, now they are zombie dogs.
The Licker, one of the Hive's most secret experiments, a strange creature.

The Action:
Wow!, this movie is action for a 100 minutes.
People eating each other, dogs jumping, a lot of blood, people cut in to a million pieces, cutted off hands and heads, guns, broken necks, mutated monsters and a secret laboratory more cool than Disney Land.

Resident Evil is a good movie to watch with friends.
It's based in the famous PC game, there are a lot of differences and lot of similarities.But you'll have to watch the movie to find it out.Paul Anderson is a great director, the camera loves him.He also made that bad video game movie called Mortal Kombat.

Resident Evil is pure fun, lots of blood, action and braindead people.
If you don't like this kind of movies, you can still watch Milla Jovovich.

Summary: The Evil Is Resident
Review: The world has been waiting for this and now they'll know how it all begins in this action adventure based on Survival Horror at it's finest form in RESIDENT EVIL.

Now at first i was skeptic like the rest of you, but it's shown me through the trailer that it will be one hell of a movie. The movie should be good and i'm sure that it will...enjoy!

^_^

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: AWESOME! SCARY!
Review: From what I've seen in the trailer and read about this movie, It sounds and looks like Paul Anderson did a good job. I think it was smart for him to introduce new characters and a new story, but relating back to the game. This will allows for the unexpected! People will be able to understand the movie, without having to play the games, but the people who have, can relate back to elements of the story. Pretty cool! Also, the zombies and creatures look really scary. I hope that it's as good as I think it's gonna be. I'm really hyped to see this movie!!!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Milla Jovovich Kicks Serious Zombie Butt!
Review: "I shot her five times,
How was she still standing?
(rapid machine gun fire) B---- Isn't standing now.""

"This is Going to slow us down."

Resident Evil: Based on the super popular video games of the same name.

Basic plot, OH Geeeze Meathead don't spoil it for the rest of us who might want to see it. Players of the Resident Evil series of video games will recognise many of the scenes and plot elements. I didn't becuase I haven't played the games except maybe the first or second one once or twice (whichever one starts outside the mansion). OK so without giving too much away, a deadly virus breaks out in a super secret experimental laboratory complex that is controled by a supercomputer Named "The Red Queen" that has gone out-of-control so the powers that be send in the marines so to speak (a special forces type paramilitary unit). Meanwhile the main character Alice played by Jovovich has amnesia, a side effect of nerve gas released by the Red Queen, and slowly regains her memory as events unfold. Yes there are intentional parralels to Louis Carols Alice In Wonderland. I enjoyed this movie although you do have to turn off your brain as with most other movies of this genre. An interesting bit of trivia is that Night of the Living Dead (1968) Director George A. Romero, was originally on board to write and direct, but left the project due to creative differences over the script. The sound is typical Sci-fi, Horror, suspense heavy metal type music scored by Marco Beltrami and get this Marilyn Manson. Oddly enough despite that bizarre match up the music works. As for the plot etc... The result is something like Demon Seed meets Night of The Living Dead, meets Lara Croft - Tomb Raider with a little Total Recall and Raiders of The Lost Ark thrown in. I liked one scene which according to Internet Movie Data Base was inspired by and is very similar to a scene in the Canadian movie The Cube. My entertainment dollar was well spent even with the slightly cheesy CGI effects and occasional cheap Zombie makeup mixed with just plain gory Zombie makeup. BTW they don't ever call the undead creatures Zombies, they usually refer to them as the monsters or creatures or things, wouldn't you?

The Quality is very good overall so out of 5 stars or discs or thumbs or whatever you wants. I give Resident Evil a 4 for the sound and the picture quality a 4.5

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My take
Review: First off, I have never played the game so I was able to watch the movie unbiased. Which I guess worked to my favor since I absolutely love this movie. I know people who played the game don't really care for it because it doesn't follow but I loved it.

I loved it because it is a good concept movie, which you don't get a whole lot these days. My favorite person was Caplan. I wish he made it to the end but you can't have everything right?

Anyway, the movie starts out in the Hive. You get a look at someone throwing a vile in the lab and running. You see three different settings going on. The Red Queen notices the broken vile and takes action. People are killed by drowning, falling in the elevator or by the halox (is the spelled right?). Then cut to Alice, who is in the shower and apparently has fainted.

The movie is perfect, simply because a movie can't be perfect. Your going to get some people saying the hated it and some people saying it was ok and some people loving it. I think it is definately worth seeing for yourself and making up your own mind.

The last scene of the movie (I won't go into detail), I think is the best scene. In one scene, Milla portrays just about every emotion there is in this one scene. Scared, confused, disoriented, terrified, amazement, wonderment, lonliness, hurt, betrayal, strength and courage.

See the movie, if only one time and draw your own opinions. Go in with an open mind and come out with your conclusion.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Red Queen sends her regards...
Review: I have to say that I am not a MAJOR fan of horror or of any video games related to Resident Evil, so I cannot take part in discussing the technicalities and the specifics like other reviewers have. Therefore, coming from someone that is not familiar with the "details" I have to say that the movie was very good!
It is an action-packed Nine Monkeys/Tomb Raider type of adventure combining significant elements of horror.
Milla Jovovich and the rest of the cast carry out their performances very well, with the exception of the female soldiers who are sooo "butch" and "tough." Have mercy on us please... Enough with that! They are simply not realistic and therefore not convincing in their roles.
Aside from that setback, the plot, the setting, the special effects, and the battles are all very good!
In conclusion, the film establishes a GREAT cliffhanger for a sequel, which I would definitely line up to watch!
