RE3 , what's up?

[clanglee]

So has anyone seen it yet? Does it suck big hairy donkey balls? I must know.:bored:

[capncnut]

A friend of mine went to see it yesterday and hasn't stopped raving about it. Apparently, it's the best of the three.

[Danny]

rotten tomatos gave its %12...though im well known amongst my freinds for calling that site a piece o crap so im gonna wait for an aintitcool review, of which therel no doubt be several to choose from.

[acealive1]

[Arcades057]

HA! It looks excellent so I'm glad to hear it's a good one.

what'd u think about johnny cage being in the movie? and what about the return of the slice and dicer?

[Danny]

actually from what ive seen on't t'interweb its got more good reviews than bad and even the bad ones are saying its the best of all 3, though many resi fans are jsut raving 'cus its actually got a tryant in it, to bad it took 3 movies, its beena f ew yers and the fact the only b.o.w in the first was a frikkin' licker still pisses me off.:lol:

[ProfessorChaos]

should i still wait for it to hit the sci-fi channel? or is it worth the $7.50 i'll have to pay to see it? sayin' that it's the best of the trilogy ain't sayin much.:rockbrow:



aw, who the hell am i kiddin? i've got nothing going on, so i imagine i'll catch it tomorrow.:bored:

[sandrock74]

I enjoyed it. I was just annoyed that Jill Valentine wasn't in it. She was a major hottie!

[acealive1]

I enjoyed it. I was just annoyed that Jill Valentine wasn't in it. She was a major hottie!


thats cuz dumbslut thought she could hold anderson up for more money

[ProfessorChaos]

I enjoyed it. I was just annoyed that Jill Valentine wasn't in it. She was a major hottie!

agreed. much much hotter than skanky milla.:barf:

[Danny]

when i whent with freinds to see apocalypse one my freinds heard her boyfreind ,another freind of mine, say he thought mila was hot adn she yelled in the middle fo the movie "WHAT?!? :< BUT SHE LOOKS LIKE A VICTORIAN PEDEOPHILES HORSEY FACED PET BOY!"


...and a second later someone at the back of the room yelled "damn straight!":lol:

[capncnut]

I'd give Milla a hefty portion myself. :sneaky:

[acealive1]

I'd give Milla a hefty portion myself. :sneaky:



:lol::lol:

[Shadowofthedead]

it was a flop of crap all of them were. shoulda taken romeros script anderson butchered the shiza out of the resident evil franchise. i will say it was a better movie than the other two but comin from a "fan boy" point of view ( if thats what you wanna call me) i am dissapointed. when did zombies run... shoulda went to the red heads or demon head mutations of zombies from the game cube remake or resi 1. and a talkin tyrant... he was more a variant of the g virus monster willaim birkin from resi 2... ill stick to my games for the truth is there. the only reason i went to see this movie is for the dead heads. resident evil is the reason im into zombies just like the rest of you love them. dang anderson... rot in h e double hocky sticks :mad:

[livingdeadboy]

I thought it was damn good, best movie out of the series.

[acealive1]

it was a flop of crap all of them were.



you beg for more zombie movies and you get it and you STILL complain. "flop of a movie" hmm? its sitting at right around $27 million,which would make it on track make its budget back by saturday at the very latest

[DEAD BEAT]

I'd give Milla a hefty portion myself. :sneaky:

I'd give Milla a hefty boner!

:D


I'd give Milla a hefty boner!

:D


Also make her brush her teeth with my johnson!

:eek:

[sandrock74]

All this talk about what people would do to Milla...yeesh! I won't even bring up what I would do to Jill...:evil:

[MinionZombie]

Jesus, you guys all need to go have a wank or something! :lol::lol:

But yes, I'd pork Milla, and Jill and that Ali Larter chick from #3...all at once mate. :p

Anyway, RE3 is pretty sh*t, but the good news for RE is, it's the least sh*t of all of them. :lol: And that's the best compliment it'll get, in fact, Total Film went and said pretty much the same thing in their new issue. :cool:

So, Resident Evil 3 is the best smelling of the three shi*t piles?

[mista_mo]

i hope u mean of food, cus she is skinny as a post.

her face is too big for her twiginess.

i haven't seen the movie, but i suppose it wouldn't be too hard to be better then the last two.

[Shadowofthedead]

my only rant is that im a fan of the "GAMES" as well as the movies but i prefer the storyline and craziness of the games. so that is why i bitch about the movies. not enough like the games.

[clanglee]

well it looks like an overall positive review. . .considering. I might have to go ahead and catch it at the theater then. Thanks all.

[ProfessorChaos]

i said the same thing last week and decided against it...p!ss on the resident evil film series, i think i'll stick to the games. can't wait for 5 to come out.

maybe i'll watch this when it comes to scifi channel or something. if i'm bored.

[Shadowofthedead]

i mean by all means see it its well worth the money to see it on the big screen although with halo 3 out id rather play that then see the movie again. this movie does make me wonder if resident evil 5 had some kind of effect on this movie... the movie did say that the infection wasnt contained in raccoon city... and there have been rumors that re5 takes place in raccoon city i guess the new re umbrella chronicles for the wii might have some answers. now i have a chubby for ps3 and re5:elol:

[MinionZombie]

So, Resident Evil 3 is the best smelling of the three shi*t piles?
Yes, put simply, that is what RE3 is like. :D

[Zombie Snack]

I thought it was the best of the three films so far, it really wasnt that bad, it was above par with the effects and storyline....give it a 7 out of 10.....but i am no fan boy or gamer or totaly aligned with any one film maker so what do I know....I just like to watch movies

[Arcades057]

That's why I love TVlinks. I saw the movie for free on my computer. Pretty good flick, definitely better than the first two.

[darth los]

you beg for more zombie movies and you get it and you STILL complain. "flop of a movie" hmm? its sitting at right around $27 million,which would make it on track make its budget back by saturday at the very latest

I'll bet it makes more money than land.:evil: Yeah, i said it. :p

Dress a pile of sh*t up as some MTV lookin' crap and it'll make more money, if you pander to idiots, it'll rake in the cash. Try to get people thinking in a genre not typically associated with thinking, and you'll not make as much cash - especially if the freaking studio says "ay yeah, lets release it in der summer cus dat wuld b gud, lolzorz" - when in fact it's just retarded.

[capncnut]

Couldn't have said it better myself, pal.

[Wyldwraith]

Well,
Speaking as someone who's seen RE:3 I can say this: The movie rocks, for these reasons.

1) Hands down it is absolutely the best, sharpest and most intense survival-action-horror film set during the period where an outbreak has claimed the entire world. The opening narration does an incredibly good job of setting up the opening scenes and the movie hits the ground running.

2) They back off the Umbrella-as-God theme. That theme always annoyed me, ie Umbrella being always in control, never losing more than a few minions to their monumental screw-ups etc. Here we see Umbrella just for what they are, a megacorporation reaping the whirlwind for sowing the seeds of destruction.

3) It has beautiful tie-ins in how Alice rejoins whats left of her comrades from RE:2 and this time they AREN'T retarded.

4) The protagonists have direct, meaningful goals and move towards them in an intelligent fashion.

5) Alice is again a wonderful cornerstone, the actress giving her best performance yet by far. The script gave her ample opportunity to shine, which she did. There are a TON of "Wow moments" relating to Alice.

6) Action scenes are beautifully done, I lost track of the number of completely awesome zombie kills.

7) The notion of the zombified animals, always a sore spot for me before was in this movie used very well. The undead crows were creepy, lethal and didn't feel campy.

8) The supporting cast weren't just forgettable nobodies you cared less about when zombies got them. Many were played extremely well, you felt for them when they died struggling to stay true to their convictions and protecting those they cared about/were responsible for.

I could go on and on like this, believe me. And lest you call me a fanboy please note that on a scale of ten I gave the original RE a 5.5 and RE:2 a 4 (and only that high because of the drought of zombie flicks with a decent budget where Apocalypse was concerned). I'm a hard survival horror fan to please and RE:3 just did it all for me. It left me slavering for an RE:4, believe me.

Now for the downsides: SPOILERS AHEAD

1) GAPING Plothole: I couldn't suspend my disbelief at the notion that a viral outbreak could DESTROY water molecules. (And yes, they directly attribute the earth drying up to the T-Virus directly, not some byproduct) I also had a hard time believing in a virus so virulent that it a) was transmissable to every form of life on earth and b) yet inexplicably sent many species into extinction, randomly zombifying some while terminating others. Why turn crows into zombies but not horseflies or birds of prey? (Imagine trying to keep yourself safe from a zombie peregrine falcon with a taste for human flesh)

2) Since when did T-Zombies develop "human radar"? I found the notion of zombies being able to home in on humans from miles away rather out of genre. The addition of such "radar" was a ham-handed way to explain the nomadic setting, yet was contradicted by the presence of only several hundred surrounding the surface entrance to the Umbrella base. With all those fresh Alice-clone corpses laying about and "99% of humanity converted" why weren't there MILLIONS converging on the largest concentration of life for thousands of miles?

3) Umbrella itself, the business with their hyper-advanced bunkers being able to clone hundreds of Alice's but not being able to create a self-sustaining food supply? Guess they never heard of hydroponics.

All in all though I was really pleased with the movie. The pacing was great, the setting felt very believable and immersive, the zombies makeup was awesome and most importantly it was a very enjoyable way to spend an hour and thirty five minutes.

What more can you really ask for 7.50$ ?

[Danny]

how could zombie crows BE campy?:rockbrow:

[MinionZombie]

I think Wyld and I saw different movies, it was cack - the least cack of all three (in it's favour) - but was still cack.

There was a bunch of pointless-to-be-there characters, some of whom made either silly decisions or just did absolutely nothing. There were hasty "relationships" set up and then never bothered about until they needed another "stock element" to chuck in at the appropriate time.

Clearly, Mad Max 2 and the original Day of the Dead script had influence in this film, you get those two films' vibes clearly throughout ... and the whole "Vegas desert" thing is pretty skimped on, especially when you consider it's a central part of the advertising campaign.

Some of the "zombies" seem more like kung-fu specialists and the sound mix was piss-annoying, with the usual LOUD NOISES!!!! to constitute a scare - which is just lame.

[dmbfanintn]

Day of the Dead referrences galore!!! The scientist guys whole explanation at one point could have been taken straight from Day.

Talking about how they dont need flesh for nourishment, only out of instinct.

and that the creatures could survive for decades. the fenced in complex, the underground bunker.

The RE franchise has been ripping George off since the very first game. It was just extremely blatant here in part 3 of the films.

I was a pretty good flick, best of the three. We went to the drive in to see it this weekend which always makes a movie a little more fun for me.

The RE films have all been crap, but at least there are zom films being made.

We got the trailer to 30 days of night before RE, that looks really good!

[AcesandEights]

Well, I actually liked the first film, so I may enjoy this 3rd one. I'll see it...at some point, but just can't be arsed to run out just this moment.

I wasn't going to see it, but I want to hear the explantion for how a rotting corpse could survive for decades. Impossible.

For a moment here I thought you were describing Land of the dead. You know, the whole pointless-to-be-there characters (such as Pillsbury, MoTown, or that Matador guy); Asia and Riley's "relationship." Also, seeing as how Mad Max clearly influenced Land of the Dead, we have another comparison. And they really did skimp on the whole "zombies are lumbering dead things that try to attack and kill you, yet don't think for themselves" thing that was the hallmark of the whole series.

And the loud noises? LoL, all Land of the Dead had were loud noises to scare people. Those two retards shooting at the blowup signs, then Big Daddy Dumbass goes "RAWR!!!!!!!!!!!" is one indication of that, there are others. But I can't be bothered to remember them all, seeing as how Land of the Dead was far inferior to Resident Evil 3. I think I'll watch RE 3 again...

[AcesandEights]

Well, they seemed to gloss over it well enough in Day...was that good enough for you in that movie, or not good enough? Just trying to see what the purpose of your above statement was, are you incredulous at the mere idea (I never liked it, as it always seemed so unfair to the poor survivors, but I can deal with it)?

Hah! I knew it. Absolute crap like the last two films. Why do people keep churning out cash for these crap films? They must be the same people that pay to see all of these cheesy remakes....

[ProfessorChaos]

as much as i loved the games, my disgust for the first two movies has kept me out of the theaters for this one, even though the original resident evil was the reason i got a playstation in the first place.

still haven't seen re3, don't plan on it anytime soon, and i'm damn proud of that!:D

How did they 'gloss over it well' in Day, exactly? In which scene do they come to the conclusion that a rotting body will be able roam around for "decades"? It hasn't been that long since the initial outbreak in the film, so how could they have come up with that conclusion?

Maybe the process of creating new undead can continue for decades, depending upon the access to what remained of the living, but there's no way a body can survive the elements for twenty or thirty years.

Eggheaded science, from what I can tell. I think the quote was: "On revival, the rate of decomposition slows substantially...Blah, blah, blah." Though, I will say I don't think they meant it in terms of multiple decades.

[Shadowofthedead]

ok now im a little pissed off at you all damnin it. yes i thought it was a flop of crap and personally to short. THE REASON I DONT LIKE THE MOVIES IS BECAUSE THEY BUTCHERED THE GAMES. as with hollywood and stupid directors that is the point. i personally enjoyed it was well worth seein it for free... one more point... in two different installments of resident evil wasnt the city of raccoon destroyed by a nuclear bomb and also the story was changed so that the city was just bombed multiple times. if either are true then this movie isnt so far from resident evil 5... so i say shut up enjoy it then play the games for the real action...:elol:

[jim102016]

Eggheaded science, from what I can tell. I think the quote was: "On revival, the rate of decomposition slows substantially...Blah, blah, blah." Though, I will say I don't think they meant it in terms of multiple decades.

That's far from decades, Ace. They never emphasized how long the dead would be around in the movie. Maybe I'll watch it again, has been a while

[AcesandEights]

True, but the idea of slowed decomposition was addressed. Also, I think they only mention 10 to 12 years in DotD(not definite on this though), so that would fall far short of the implicit idea behind the plural statement of decades that supposedly cropped up in this RE movie (which i haven't seen yet), but I don't know if I'm recalling that 10-12 figure correctly and I'm not going to watch DotD, as I need to be psyched to watch that movie.
