Rumor: Resident Evil returns to the silver screen in 2010

i concur, the resident evil movies are a clusterfuck of stupidity

maybe michael bay will sign as the director so literally everything can explode.


what a joke, resident evil has a very in depth storyline that can be explored ... but too bad its aimed at american kids who think that transformers was a good movie.

The first one was almost on-story, but beyond that it's been absolutely horrible.

As long as Milla Jovovich is in the movie, I'll watch it and be happy. She is smoking hot!!

Giggity

If the ending of the last one is any indication (spoiler alert) the next movie will have hundreds of Milla Jovoviches.

I'm looking forward to it....

The games only allude to so much but they have consistently fell apart at the end. There's been a few shining moments though.

The movies should be appreciated for what they are. The first two were ok, the second much better than the first. The third was an abomination, though. Absolutely terrible and stupid.

The next movie should only have people standing and shooting. Then the fanboys would be happy.

(Downfall style)

All the people who think any of these movies were good...

...leave the room.

....

These movies were pure bullshit! The first RE game had a perfectly workable setup, Night of the Living Dead meets Aliens. Instead we get a pseudo-prequel with a goddamn female version of Neo running around and some Alice in Wonderland garbage thrown in! And running up walls to kick dogs in the head for some reason! Because that was in the game...

It wasn't Resident Evil, it was the director remaking the action sequences from the Matrix with a much lower budget and CG zombies that looked mostly CG.

The second Resident Evil was monumentally more retarded! It even displays a total lack of understanding of its source material when the protagonists run through a graveyard over well settled soil and zombies spring out the ground! The film itself said the outbreak started only 12 hours earlier! How can corpses who've been dead for years, possibly decades, catch an airborn contagion?! And then the pathetic mess ends with a fist fight with the Nemesis. A fist-fight, because that's horror!

The third movie only expanded on Anderson's copy and paste writing, as he further cemented Milla (not a character from any of the games) into Neo, with psychic powers and added speed zombies from recently more SUCCESSFUL zombie-type films (28 Days Later, DotD Remake).

What part of survival-horror is about over the top kung-fu, psychic powers, and fist fighting giant mutants (and winning)!? It's not. It's the insipid, uninspired work of a writer director who's a hair more competent than Uwe Boll!

Why can't people appreciate a Romero film for once!? This guy practically invented the modern zombie movie! In 1985's Day of the Dead you see a guy get his guts ripped out in a way that most movies wouldn't even dream of replicating today...

Instead people drool over Milla Jovoich like it's 1997. 5th Element was 12 years ago! Buy a poster and be done with it!

But these people also think Transformers 2 is a good movie. But I can't, can't get started on that...

Downfall was an awesome movie, Viper. I hope you saw the Hillary spoof on youtube.

how did you know!?

Gentlemen, the proper response to douche baggery such as this is to bury and ignore.

I can almost imagine you driving up to a mall at the very earliest, parking you're bycicle up front and yelling "first!" while raising your arms.

But in this mall, young man, it seems you don't have money at all and you're not even first. So why are you even here? The point isn't to post first: it's to post an opinion.

I liked them all. I think Resident Evil has done great as far as game-to-movie adaptations go.

Needs less Mike Epps though...

I think it was already planned for Milla to be in lingerie throughout the whole movie.

I liked the first one. It wasn't a masterpiece or anything, but it felt right enough and it had zombies and a licker. I don't know what else I'd ask for from it.

I liked it for two reason, zombies and milla, thats enoughh for me. OOOSH

The first one was good mindless fun, I'm not afraid to admit that I liked it.

I had some high hopes for the third one after seeing early shots from it, but alas, the travesty continued.

No actually I'd rather them photoshop Mila's face on to all the posts.

I agree!! DSG would have been perfect for this picture lol.

There's a cliffhanger on the third one? I thought they just cut off the last half of the movie...

I take it you didn't see Resident Evil: Degeneration

I have seen it, I should have clarified and said specifically the live action movies need to do the RE4 plot line.

I don't recall Degeneration being set in the same environment as RE4 or involve the same or similar story it just had Leon as the lead.

Actually it bridged the storyline between 4 and 5

That's why the movies are win. They know what they are and they don't try hard to be something else.

Exactly, the movies work because they are movie and cant stay true to the bs story in the game, FLAME ON.

What's the point of making a movie "based on" a game if you're just going to make shit up that doesn't fit the canon? I'm all for creative license but I still expect a decent movie to come out of it, not like the trainwreck of a movie the last one was.

"And they make great action flicks with some mindless fun and gore."

That's the problem. Resident Evil has *never* been about mindless fun and gore. Sometimes it's a bit excessive, yes, but you've always had to be very careful of what you're actually doing. Managing your inventory, conserving ammo and health, etc. If you want mindless fun and gore, you're looking for Doom or Serious Sam.

Its fine to come up with an original story based on a game but its not fine to use parts from the game in the wrong way. The Lara Croft movies were perfectly fine because they stayed true to the main character and then made up a new adventure, they used references in the right way and made a movie that could easily become a real Tomb Raider game.

The RE movies just doint give a shit about the games. They take things from the game then totally jack them up to the point that theyre just nonsense and cant fit into the universe at all. Theres really no reason the movies should be called Resident Evil.

I'm seeing DSG on everything even when it's not there. Damn.

I agree with your thoughts on the movies. I really enjoyed the first one and thought of it as a better than normal game to movie attempt. I hope the 4th goes back a bit and fixes how off track they went.
