W T F!

I love zombie movies....they're my favorite monster genre.

RESIDENT EVIL SUCKS!

You've got one serviceable movie. It was decent, but didnt deserve a sequel.

The first sequel...SUCKED. The movie not only wasnt even about zombies, but it wasnt even about the video game? I dont remember genetically enhanced supermodels in the Resident Evil series of Video games.

Comfortable in the beleif that there would be no more Resident Evil movies thanx to sequel suckitude, I was surprised to see a third movie. This movie could only be watchable with the silouette of a janitor and two robots in the lower right hand corner. No way this series is going to go on.

Then I see this Trailer. I really want to punch somebody in the throat. Plugging James Cameron in order to polish up your dogsh!t and try to call it Godiva Chocolate? Shameless bastards.

Lemme tell you something, if you pay money to see this movie in the theatre with the new more expensive 3D tickets, you need to be locked up because you are hopelessly insane and stupid. This series is a horrible example of how movies dont even have to be remotely intelligent or even watchable to make money nowadays. One day I will take a dump, snap on a rubber glove, throw the feces onto several peices of paper, then take a trip to Hollywood in order to sell my new blockbuster script. Apparently, that's all one has to do in order to make Sci-Fi/Horror/Action movies nowadays. (Transformers, GI Joe, Indiana Jones/Crystal Skull)

The people responsible for this film have no talent in filmmaking whatsoever...they need to stop.

This movie promises ACTION, ADVENTURE, and MILA....

...in truth Renfeild in Dracula got a better deal. (promised immortality....then killed)


(and for those of you wondering, no, I dont spend money on this series...not since I was let down by Pt 2. I am of the opinion that movie makers should reap the rewards of their labours. I do not collect pirated movies, but have a movie collection of well over 1000 films on dvd/blue ray and a huge collection of videos...all bought legally. The Resident Evil series, isnt worth my hard earned dollar. I will eventually see this car wreck for free on the internet because I'm feeling bored and masochistic one day.)

Please God, let this series die before people ruin more of my favorite game series with gakky movies.

Resident Evil 4: Mila Jovavich will work for food.

Or

Resident Evil 4: U R Base R Belong to us.

But it has MILA JOVAVICH!!! She could be doing her TAXES and it'd still be HAWT!!!

Milla Jovovich in:

Taxtime

Sign me up!

(Loved her in the Fifth Element! Which is a movie with some decidedly 40K-ish influences too!)

Im going out ona limb here, and going to guess Ill like it. I like all the other Resident Evil movies..... Ill say that I ALSO love the movie WaterWorld, if you have to ask me WHY about Resident Evil

They have a golden opportunity here. I'm talking Milla Jovovich making out with one of her clones, full frontal nudity in 3D.

It can't not fail.

I want to say I liked the third resident evil movie but I in no way want to be associated with anyone who liked waterworld.

Waterworld wasn't really a bad movie, just not a great one. It was tainted more by the events surrounding the movie than the movie itself.

I wish more people were like you. Haven't seen WaterWorld (I'm scared to) but I loved all of the Resident Evil movies. Gotta admit, they did get steadily more and more epic as the series went on (the virus spreading first across the laboratory, then the city, then the US/world) and the battles were pretty good. My only complaint was giving Alice psychic powers - though I haven't played many of the games, they were always about regular soldiers. Elite soldiers, yes, but regular, flesh-and-blood soldiers. Making one of the main characters able to control matter and energy just seems silly.

I really don't see why there's so much hate for the movies. At least they're better than Uwe Boll's travesties of gaming.

Warterworld's worth watching just for the quad AA gun and the old dude in the tanker at the end. I rate the first Resident Evil film too, cunning remake of Aliens that it is.

Res Evil 4? Not that I don´t like Milla Jovovich but seriously...

Someone could make a movie about paint drying and if it had Mila I'd watch it.

She IS the reason to suffer through Resident Evil movies.

VERY good point - it really isn't that bad of a movie!

Don't the vast majority of resident evil games suck too? Four was pretty good, but most people seemed to dislike five and everything before four was a review in poor story telling, awful voice acting, mediocre graphics, god-awful writing, incredibly poor controls, and a camera system so bad that room corner fixed cameras are now known to be "the resident evil style".

A bad series of movies would appear to fit perfectly alongside the games.

Bad acting fits perfectly with the resident evil series.

well this is execly what i`ve bin hopin for, since i watched the third movie. just when i finished the third i cruised the web to get to know when or if there might be a fourth installment of this great kick ass movie series.
true it is not a full zombie movie but i like the kickass attitude of mila. also the other chars i think also dead by now are true fun to watch and not in a bad way either. i mean who really needs another movie like night of the walking deaths or so any more? every genre has to reinvent it self and it did so in matter of zombieflicks by the resident evil series.
true the trailer looked a bit to me as if its some kind of matrix and ultra violett mix. also i hope that there will be rather more dirty outfits of mila than her looking all smouth and clean in a catsuit. i think the fetching redsuit from the first and the leathergarterlook were by far the bestlooking outfits of her. also i loved her dirty hairdo^^

looking forward of resident evil 4 with glowing eyes^^

Here's what I gathered from this trailer - And bear in mind I have no speakers at work, so that was a silent preview.


The story is about some chick that gets lost while flying her plane and, being really intelligent, decides to stop in LA, which is clearly very much on fire, and ask for directions. She sees a bunch of planes and lands, -thinking- it's an airport when clearly it's an aircraft graveyard.

Fail.

Then she meets some wierd Lesbian Ninja that's part cat judging by how quickly and how much her pupils expand when suprised. Lesbian Ninja loves to run round throwing shurikens in slow motion, and decides that Random Lost Girl needs to learn Lesjitsu. Random Lost Girl proceeds to dress in black and point her guns at stuff because she's a big Matrix fan.

Fail.

Then Random Lost Girl decides she should run some guy over with her plane, which for some reason is taxiing down a road in the middle of LA. She misses said guy, and it makes you wonder why she tries to run him over to begin with, instead of just putting a hole in his face with a shotgun.

Fail.

Random Lost Girl later finds herself jumping off a building to get away from Zombies. Hopefully she can fly. This raises the question of why she even bothered to stop in a burning, zombie filled version of LA to begin with.

Fail.

Meanwhile, Lesbian Ninja decides to break into some big huge base and kill a bunch of guards, when she probably would've done just fine for herself without it. While she's killing everyone, Random Lost Girl manages to crash her plane into a large warehouse that makes it's money storing empty wooden pallets and hordes of zombies. While she escapes from the warehouse and Lesbian Ninja kills more nameless guards with assault rifles that can't even kill one chick with swords, two random people that are (so far) completely unexplained confront an evil guy that even has red eyes to make sure you know how evil he is. His special attack is that he throws his sunglasses at you. No really, that's his special move.

Fail.

Now, we've gone too long without another slow-motion Ninja scene from Lesbian Ninja, so she kindly throws in a slow-mo spread eagle dive, then she fights some big Zombie with a hammer. At the same time, her and Random Lost Girl, who seems to have escaped from the pallet storage warehouse, point a shotgun at some Zombie that's about to eat their faces but decide not to shoot it. Maybe they're from PETZ (People for the Ethical Treatment of Zombies), because we haven't actually seen them kill any zombies yet. Lesbian Ninja then goes back to doing flips over the giant zombie with the hammer.

Fail.

Random Lost Girl is also a genius, in case viewers were not aware, because she goes running right through the middle of a crowd of zombies. It also seems she's learned the art of dramatic Slo-Mo sequences from her friend Lesbian Ninja, because she then does a sort of 'tripping dive' through a randomly exploding door. Not to be deterred from more plotless action however, her and Lesbian Ninja then run around spraying rounds from their UZIs into a bunch of columns, then getting into an elevator while wearing black leather, because they totally don't want to blatantly rip things from the Matrix. They follow this shortly thereafter by having a gunfight with some grey haired man in a suit. Diving out a window that seems to effortlessly break when they jump into it, yet wasn't shattered by the spray of bullets that appear to have hit it, they proceed to fire off into the air above them while falling in slow-mo with their backs to the ground. Once more, -totally- not stealing scenes from the Matrix -at all-.

Fail.

The preview finally ends with them falling down several hundred floors into a central courtyard and Lesbian Ninja using her sword as a throwing knife, which will, I assume, break their fall. In short, it's the same Resident Evil films people have been watching since the first sequel came out.

Pretty much. Four was great because they went back to the drawing board and made a whole name game. Five took the controls from Four and all the bad stuff from the rest. The co-op was a great idea, but to see the proper execution, play Left 4 Dead.

Ha, I've always loved the "You were almost a JILL SANDWICH!"

I'd rather see
"28 months later" myself, but I can settle for this, in the mean time.

I quite liked films 1&2, though the other one was just very, very poor, edging towards terrible.

I don't have great hopes for the new one.

I've been waiting for quite a while for this to come out. I actually enjoyed the movies up to this point. The only qualm I've really had is the psychic powers. It really makes no sense. That said, the trailer doesn't seem to make the movie out as very good compared to the others. Oh well I'll just hope.

I think Deadshane should take the gloves off, re-post and tell us how he REALLY feels about it.

Look guys... the truth is obvious... video games made from movie premise (starwars battlefront woot!) are sometimes cool.... movies made from video game = not. Also, with only the occasional exception, movies with a "2" or "3" or something afterwards are generally to be avoided. (except for Free Willy 7 which rocked) That's hollywood for ya.

Sounds like a description of most games pre 2000s. None of those thing make or break a game, or at least they didn't back then.

That would be true, but Resident Evil had ALL of them piled into one game (And a few sequels). I can think of plenty of pre-2000 games that had only one or two of those problems and was still a fantastic game.

Erm, really. By todays standards most old games have "ALL of them" as you say. Lets see... poor story telling, having trouble thinking of one game pre 2000 which I can actually remember a worthwhile story besides maybe zelda or final fantasy. awful voice acting, most games didn't even bother with voice acting back then and had lines of text you had to read, where the dialogue ussually read like a childrens book. Mediocre graphics, again no different from any other game of it's time they were no worse than most of what was being released at the time. God-awful writing, again nothing remarkably different from other games of the time. Incredibly poor controls and a poor camera system , third person games haven't overcome either of these problems until very recently.

You're forgetting they were highly popular games in their time, they're the reason it's now a major franchise and has four movies adapted from it. Maybe they haven't stood the test of time but then few of the best games of their own time do.
