The films went way out of wack. Telepathy? Come on! And now Alice has 1000 clones. Jeezus! Hopeful;y this one stays true to the games at least a little and emulates maybe Code Veronica or something.

You couldn't be more correct, RE has been hollywooded*, also D-list celebrities are not needed! Mike Epps, Ashanti?? The undead is amongst us, i can do without the "hip" one liner jokes.

"Aww shit, look out now, im gonna kill ya! ... Again!" (i made that up, but you get my point).

IMO Milla does a good job at playing her character, but where are they going with the story!?
Payed to see 1 and 2 in the theaters. 3 was seen on a *clear* bootleg, guess thats what it will be for the next installment. Thanks Follywood.

RE1 was tolerable.
RE2 was annoying.
RE3 was just terrible.

The clones? REALLY? Come on! That was such a terrible way to end the movie. I can't believe I bothered to sneak in and watch that.

Most of her movies are not very good, but I would marry Milla Jovovich if given the chance...

I think these movies could use a reboot, and maybe follow the games a bit better than this ridiculousness.

Well I think after this they should try to do a direct translation of RE5 as a movie.

RE5's story (based on the trailers) looks to be emphasizing the best parts of the franchise's muddled mythology, so I'd love to see a big screen version that isn't terrible.

OK, they don't match up with the games. Whoop-de-do. The movies are still pretty kick-ass IMO and I definitely want to see Alice kick some Umbrella ass in Tokyo.

Yeah! I know the first thing that _I_ think of is "martial arts" whenever someone mentions resident evil or zombies in general. Lets face it. If there is anything that the Resident Evil games or zombie apocalypse movies have taught us, it is that hand-to-hand combat is the most effective method of dealing with zombies.

When you're already infected, like the movies' alice is, and programmed to fight that way, it IS a good way to fight zombies.

I kinda like the movies. Just take them by themselves. Don't compare them to the games. They just share the same base materials: Umbrella corp and it's zombie-making technology, etc.

I don't compare the Resident Evil movies to the games. I just acknowledge the fact that the RE movies have terrible writing, cheesy special effects (except in that admittedly cool fire scene in RE3), even worse makeup jobs for the zombies, stagnant direction, and the list goes on and on...

I don't compare the Resident Evil movies to the games, I compare them to smelly full-of-diapers trash. And guess who wins?

I'd rather a movie be based loosely on something then simply be Resident Evil 1 retold. I played the game i don't need to watch a prettier version of it in live action.

All be it the movies plots are kinda meh but overall their a rather enjoyable action movie series that might not go to theatres to see but i definitly rent it the day it comes out and have some fun with them.

If you ask a Western Canadian, Calgary should be the capital of Canada.

.....The point being that Canadians are really proud of silly things.

I still think Montreal should be the Capital. It's the second largest city in the country, and is just plain awesome.

Well as I was saying the other day using Ha ha on a comment only reflects that you couldn't think on a good comeback and is the crappiest damage control ever (Been a while since I use DC in a sentence).

Then again you comment being downvoted and the fact you are defending what we all know is going to be a bad movie or cheesy at best (I have to mention RE movies do suck but they are kind of fun like Grindhouse movies) in your attempt to get even (Trying to hard pal?) put a smile on my face.

I told you once you are inferior, accept already or in your own words “you are an idiot hurr hurr”

Also I might be reading between lines but did you just accepted that I was right and that judging something you don't know is wrong? So you accept your comments about Banjo Kazooie are wrong then?

That’s everything I needed to hear that and “I’m sorry for being an ignorant prick”.

Say you are sorry and maybe you’ll stop being my b*tch.

(Is just me or I got into his head? I’m in longhorn head, pointing at the obvious.)

It looks like every time i read one of your comments you seem to mention me and dicks, so i thinks its the other way.
And yes your a hypocrite, I didn't play Banjo Kazooie so i made my opinion by its sells, just like your judging this movie without haven't seen it by its predecessors

The 2nd movie was...alright up until the mortal kombat fight scene with Nemesis at the end. Definitely kept that survival in the city vibe from RE2 and 3.

"Filming will take place in Tokyo and Toronto, with the Canadian capital (it's not? well, it should be)"

Yeah I'll watch it just like the DBZ movie, just like the prince of persia movie, the lost planet movie, and what other ever crappy movie that comes out. I'm just too nerdy for my own good sometimes.

Spoilers follow...as if!

Are they really make a movie about an army of Alice Clones? And more importantly, how much clarity will her privates have in it?

I liked the movies. I'll probably like this one too.
What can I say, I like the idea of an army of mutant female clones killing zombies and CEOs of corrupt zombie-making corporations.
I haven't played them: Are the RE games all in the same time-line? If not, why are people complaining about the movie trilogy?

I feel I should clarify that nothing on Netflix 360 is free. In fact, you're paying two different companies for that service.


...Of course, it feels free though. Both Live and Netflix are staples of a geek life.
