For those who hate the movies, may I remind you of the source material. Resident Evil Intro

Does not always equate to a great film, especially when they stray so far from said material. You should hunt down and read GAR's draft for the Resident Evil film. It was quite true to the game and VERY Romero! I had super high hopes for the RE films, they just failed on so many levels! C

The films totally lack any of the atmosphere of the games.

Well, they tried to fix all of that in Resident Evil: Apocalypse by putting characters from the game in it. Unfortunately, the best acting done by someone playing a character from the game was Nemesis. The rest...sucked.

How about the commercial he did? http://www.residentevilfan.ws/vids/r...commercial.wmv You should hunt down and read GAR's draft for the Resident Evil film. It was quite true to the game and VERY Romero!

I thought the first one was alright. It definitely could have been alittle better. The second movie though.....blah. Ultimate cheese...

The films totally lack any of the atmosphere of the games. Maybe you guys are missing the point? No one wanted to watch ninety minutes of ingame footage acted out for real. The movies are actually far more accurate and/or faithful to the series of resident evil novels. That's novels as in books, real books, bought from a shop, made from real paper ... which you have to read to understand. Though i thought the portrayal of the RE movie "zombies" was great, probably the best seen on screen since NOTLD 1990.

The Chris character looks like Bill Paxton when he was in Wierd Science or whatever that 80's movie was called.

I love both movies, and yes they stray a little far from the game at times, but they are still good fun. I think the biggest problem of the films, especially part two, is that they are filmed in Canada, and have to use Canadian actors such as that sissy black guy that had to wear elbow pads to create the illusion that his arms are "big". The RE films could have been better but they are still fun. I think they would have been better had they concentrated on one solitary character exploring Raccoon City, bumping into other characters and events along the way.

creepy mansion zombie conspiracy way better story and if no one wanted to watch a movie portreyal of the first game is untrue thats just the excuse people use. I think this movie would have made more money and been alot more scary if it at least loosly followed the story. Also it wouldent have to be exactly like the game just reasonable mansion and characters would be enough to satisfy all the fans who where so dissapointed in that respect. i really disliked the first movie and the second movie aswell. as for the second movie the movie coulda been better the idea was good but not well executed. Also the RE universe is based on the games NOT the books the books are good and yes you have to read them but the games came first and made the universe. saying that the books are the real story simply because they are books doesnt work for me. That would be like saying if i wrote a dawn of the dead book and got it published it would be the new law of GAR's universe. Your off base on that im sorry to say. (look at tabloids for example...) I did however agree on somthing ... the zombies where well well done.
