[Darth Abominus]

I'm actually more psyched about this one than I was about the first one. The ending to the original had me really looking forward to what's going to happen in the sequel. I'm hoping to see more zombies, first of all. And more of the cityscape, as opposed to that weird house/base in the first movie.

[Head Trauma]

Loved the first one...Can't wait for this one. I like the mood/setting of the first movie, and the ending just left me wanting more.

[Sadogoat]

I didn't like the first film much at all......but this has alot more zombies, so maybe there could be hope for it...

[Mervin Chip Chipperson]

has anyone here played through all/most of the RE games? I was just wondering how much in the way of mutating wall climbing, long tongue cgi creatures to expect from the new movie, hopefully it will be kept to a minimum, I like my zombies to be the standard plain romero style as much as possible

[Head Trauma]

Well it seems to me, the Resident Evil games like to keep Zombies in as the "norm" enemy, something you always have to deal with...Capcom loved to toss in SUPER MUTANTS now and then to keep the games interesting and hard I suppose.

I agree tho, if it were up to me i'd toss out the slimey CGI super beasts and just stick with classic slow walking dead
!

[Sadogoat]

As far as I've heard, the main creatures mentioned so far as appearing in the next flick are the zombies, the undead dogs, and the Nemesis himself. That said, I wouldn't be surprised to see a Licker or two since they used one in the first film...

[RIP]

I liked the firs one alot and hope that this film is just as good or better. i can't wait for it to come out. I hope that Milla Jovonich is hot looking again in this film. :evil:

[Darth Abominus]

I agree tho, if it were up to me i'd toss out the slimey CGI super beasts and just stick with classic slow walking dead
!

But if they did that, it wouldn't be RE anymore. It would be just some generic zombie flick.

[dead cell]

:lol: Anything Zombie right guys, but darn it let's see it we all play the games. I want this one to step up and WOW us! :shock:

[Darth Abominus]

With a name like Raccoon City, it should have been nuked a long time ago. :)

[Bad Zombie Night]

I have a feeling, that its gonna be better than the first movie. Hopefully more Zombies, and less mutant crap.

btw, do you have something against Raccoons, Lordie?

[Darth Abominus]

btw, do you have something against Raccoons, Lordie?

Nope. But I DO have something against cities with lame names. :mrgreen:

I agree with you about the sequel. I think it's going to be way better than the first movie.

[~HorrorCore~]

The ending of the first one was rad... although I was highly dissapointed with it. Good times.... maybe

[hatefuldisplay]

I'm looking forward to it. I enjoyed the orignial. Hoping to see some good zombie asskicking.

[Darth Abominus]

The ending of the first one was rad... although I was highly dissapointed with it. Good times.... maybe

The ending was rad but you were disappointed with it? Care to explain what you mean? I'd like to hear your viewpoints.

[DocZomby]

I get a kicjk out of how there seems to be a direct correlation between liking the original movie and NOT playing the game. the video market seemed to have set to high an expectation. It will be interesting to see if that trend continues into the next flick. :wink:

[Sadogoat]

Heh, I didn't hate it so much because it wasn't based more directly on the games - I just disliked it because I thought it was a pretty poor film in general (and I've have much preferred that Romero had done it, as originally planned). Even the zombies were rather lame - and apparently not terribly hungry, given how intact that guy who got mobbed in the elevator was when he reappeared later in the film. Didn't care for the kung-fu dog-kicking sequence or the bloody annoying rock score that blared away during it, didn't care for the rather painfully-obvious CGI Licker, and didn't care for any of the characters simply because they had virtually no depth and most of them got killed off early in the film by lasers.

Best part of the film (IMO) was the final shot of Alice walking out into the streets of Raccoon City, including the little Day Of The Dead homage with the newspaper headlines.

So all-in-all, I'm not terribly stoked for the sequel. I've seen alot of video clips of it so far, and aside from the considerably larger number of zombies, I've not beheld anything that has particularly impressed me. Even the Nemesis looks a bit wimpy - he doesn't even lumber like the mutant monstrosity he is, he seems to just casually walk around like an everyday Joe Bloggs. Not exactly awe-inspiring stuff...

[Darth Abominus]

Didn't care for the kung-fu dog-kicking sequence

My God, I had forgotten about this part. Yea, that was wack if you ask me.

[~HorrorCore~]

The ending was rad but you were disappointed with it? Care to explain what you mean? I'd like to hear your viewpoints.

Sorry i should have said I was dissapointed with some aspects of the movie... it had a huge reputation to live up to, and it didn't quite reach it for me. While I did like the first, I think that the sequel will surpass it simply because of the first ending.

I guess what I mean is that the first film didn't stack up to what I thought it should have, not that I could have written it better or anything :wink:

[Darth Abominus]

I know what you mean. I felt the same way about it. And I feel the same way about the sequel. I think it'll be light-years ahead of the first one. I'm really, really psyched for it.

[~HorrorCore~]

Agreed. I'm going to go watch movies and eat food now... I'll post battle with you more later today or tomorrow :lol:

Have an awesome rest of the day DA :rock:

[Darth Abominus]

Okay, I will await you, Jedi. :evil:

[Head Trauma]

Resident Evil is probably the only Videogame to movie i've ever enjoyed watching.

Super Mario Bros = Garbage.

Double Dragon = Garbage.

Street Fighter = Garbage.

Mortal Kombat series = meh okay I suppose.

ect ect ect.

Those loveable zombies win me over everytime.

[Darth Abominus]

I agree. Mario and Street Fighter were the worst, IMHO. Resident Evil was good, but I think the sequel will end up being the best video-game-inspired movie ever. :wink:

[~HorrorCore~]

You guys didn't like Street Fighter?!?!?! Come on Van Damme is soooooooo good at acting...
:roll:
Yeah Street Fighter is as good as having a Draino colonic.... maybe worse? :think:

[Darth Abominus]

You guys didn't like Street Fighter?!?!?! Come on Van Damme is soooooooo good at acting...
:roll:
Yeah Street Fighter is as good as having a Draino colonic.... maybe worse? :think:

Van Damme(him to hell). :x

[Head Trauma]

I think Van Dammenemene would have trouble acting as a Zombie :P

[Darth Abominus]

In an effort to get this thread back on topic, what do you guys think about Van Damme in a Resident Evil movie?

[~HorrorCore~]

Good lord... that would be horrid!!!




Well maybe not, I mean he can't act and is kind of slow whitted... maybe it would work out :shock:

[Brody]

I have a feeling that RE 2 will be more like 28 Days Later and the new DOTD.

I thought the original Re was too much techno feeling and not enough dead. Damn, the coolest part of the movie (besides getting a glimpse of Milla and her special place) was when the office workers started getting contaminated...

I want more of the APOCALYPSE and seeing Society break down!

[Mola_Ram_loves_kali_ma]

The Zombie from Brussels :lol:

[Brody]

:D

[Darth Abominus]

I feel that way, too. Like that blue laser thing that took out the entire team. **** that. I want more zombies.

[kmfdm56]

i want to see the S.T.A.R.S. Team kick some ass , and some zombies lots of zombies.

[Darth Abominus]

I personally dont want to see anymore STARS people. Just the chick from the first movie, a shitload of zombies, and maybe a boob or two. :)

[kmfdm56]

when they had a thing on mtv i got a glance of a stars member and he looked all buff and freaked out maybe he will die, boobs

[Darth Abominus]

when they had a thing on mtv i got a glance of a stars member and he looked all buff and freaked out maybe he will die, boobs

Oh, I'm sure he will die. Hopefully he'll die about 10 minutes in, though. :)

[kmfdm56]

he had this huge buzz cute and his hair was massive , i hope hes the first to die :lol:

[~HorrorCore~]

I just want to see Milla in the buff again... maybe even naked zombie slaying :drool:

Hot...

[outkast]

The best parts of the original were the laser cutting that guy into chunks, and Michelle Rodriguez.....except when she got infected.

[Joe Ghoul]

I have a love/hate relationship with the first one. Parts were great! Other parts, including the dog-kicking part, not so great. I haven't seen anything on the new one though. But, from the sound of it, it has lots of zombies! Goodie!

I must be a freak. I thought the girls in the first RE were dogs. Milla whatshername was hot when she was 16, but something happened.

[Apology]

Alright,Being the most avid Resident eivl Gamer here,




Chris redfield,carlos Oliviera and Jill vbalentine will be in this movie....


And yes at the beginning you see society break down

[Darth Abominus]

The best parts of the original were the laser cutting that guy into chunks, and Michelle Rodriguez.....except when she got infected.

I hope we don't start debating whether she's hot or not again. :roll:

[Mola_Ram_loves_kali_ma]

LOL. The MR thing went way overboard :lol: I've only seen the preview in the theatres, and it got me very interested. Seeing Milla is always a visual treat IMO.

[~HorrorCore~]

Apology... check yo'self fool!!! :lol:

Do you have Outbreak yet??? If so look for the thread in the Collectables And Games Forum... thats all I can say without getting too side tracked...

As for STARS... don't really know what to think. I heard that there will be two groups, but they never come into contact with one another during the film. That was just rumor, so I don't know if anyone can confirm it :shock:

[Darth Abominus]

Are they planning to do more RE movies even if this one bombs? Not that I think it will bomb. Just wondering.

[Brody]

I wouldnt mind some STARS people; but at least treat it right as if they really has some skills.

I dont want to see any MATRIXY dogg kicking crap.

I do want to see Milla and her lil special place again.

I want way more zombies. Take me out of the Umbrella Underground and into Racoon City.

Give me some daylight at times. I dont need the whole thing looking like a music video.

[Sadogoat]

Are they planning to do more RE movies even if this one bombs? Not that I think it will bomb. Just wondering.

Funnily enough, there was a report awhile back that said a third film was planned for 2006, entitled Resident Evil: Aftermath.

[Darth Abominus]

I hope so, Sadogoat. I'd like to see a whole series, but only if they keep it fresh. No rehashed plots or cheap thrills.

[Bad Zombie Night]

I would like to see a whole series of films,with Zombies as the main characters, as they did with the Friday the 13th, and An Nightmare on Elm St. I don't mean Return of the Living Dead either; That's a little too campy for what I have in mind. I'd like to see more of the Romero, New Dawn, or even a Resident Evil style of Zombie holocaust theme. I guess what I'm looking for, is a Planet of the Apes series, but with Zombies, not those "God Damn Dirty Apes." I would think, that would certainly feed the appetites of all the Zombo fanatics on this site. :zom1:

[Dead Aim]

I've got high hopes for this movie, and I hope it does well in theaters, but either way it will take my :dollar:8 when i see it.

[Darth Abominus]

I like your idea, BZN. A truly great series devoted to zombies. That's something you don't see every day.

[outkast]

Anyone seen the commercial or played the new one? I haven't really gotten into the games, but it looks pretty nice. Alot of zombies, except for that big mutated thing covered in boils or something. Hopefully, I'll check it out soon, and it'll be good.

[~HorrorCore~]

Check the games forum... a bunch of us are making a little gamming crew :lol:

A buddy of mine has the new one. He says it's great. He's been trying to get me to play it.

Didn't care for the kung-fu dog-kicking sequence

My God, I had forgotten about this part. Yea, that was wack if you ask me.

I had a patient describe an encounter with someone as "Wack-diggety" unsure about the spelling. Now help me out here, I think "Wack" is bad, but "Diggety" brings to mind images of "digging" something. So is "Wack-diggety" something ironic that was once bad but is now good? or is it just extra bad. I'd appreciate any help you could offer.

Back on topic, the upcoming RE movie will be better than the first I believe. The studio has had plenty of time to weed out the crap. So I hope they don't crap out any weed.

Sounds like as resonable assessment as any I could give, Doc.

[DocZomby]

So you're saying it could go either way? AAuuughghg!!!!!!

You young fellers with yer crazy slang! Howz anything suposed to mean anything if anything can mean anything? Anythinging!?! I guess I'l just make up my own rules. :cry:

[Darth Abominus]

How old are you, Doc? Just curious. I probably asked you before but I forgot.

[~HorrorCore~]

DA you don't love Homestar Runner? :cry:

[corgi37]

I got RE Codenme: Veronica for PS2. How the **** do i kill the prick in the cargo hold of the plane? That bastard is too quick.

[DocZomby]

How old are you, Doc? Just curious. I probably asked you before but I forgot.

Just turned 34 on April 4th.

My secret to staying young is a good diet, lots fresh air, and bathing in a pool of human blood (fresh of course) by the light of each full moon.

And Viagra. :D

[Darth Abominus]

I've always been intrigued by human blood. I think if I was a 15th-century king, I might bathe in it. Like Bloody Mary. That would rock. :evil:

[RayneFyre]

I dunno...I'm addicted to the Final Fantasy games, and I thought the movie rawked!

But, on topic....I have never played any of the RE video games, but I saw the first movie, and I have seen previews for the second, I *CANNOT* wait to see the second!!!! I think it is *SO* going to be better than the first one!

DA...you are so *weird* lol

You mean the tyrant?




################################################## #####################
BOSS FIGHT 2 - THE TYRANT: THE REMATCH

Since I've gotten so many emails that read "I have x amount of ammo and y
amount of health, can I beat Tyrant?" I decided to make a chart on how much
ammo it takes from each weapon to kill Tyrant. This is how much ammo I had
to use per weapon in one trial run. Use it, because I've gone to a lot of
trouble to make this thing:

Knife - don't even bother
Handgun Bullets - 128
M-100P - 84%
Bowgun Arrows - 84
Gunpowder Arrows - 27
Grenade Rounds - 13

COMBOS - 3 B.O.W. Gas Rounds + 5 Flame Rounds
- 3 B.O.W. Gas Rounds + 2 Acid Rounds
- 3 B.O.W. Gas Rounds + 2 Grenade Rounds

***NOTE***
The grenades were fired at close range.
***NOTE***

This guy is usually the toughest boss in the whole game. It's not because
he's so hard to kill, no no... It's because most people who play this game
are way too trigger happy to conserve ammo. This is where the Rambo people
get spanked and are forced to start over, since they don't have enough ammo
to kill Tyrant. If you don't have the ammo or health to kill Tyrant, tough
luck, it's back to the start again for you!

Anyway, enough of my ranting. The way to win the fight is to use the
catapult to cause the big crate to knock Tyrant out of the plane. The
problem is, he's too strong to be pushed out by it. You have to weaken him
first by shooting him or hitting him a few times with the crate. You may
notice that during the battle, Tyrant will begin bleeding. When he starts
leaving big bloodspots and starts to limp a little, that means he's ready to
be knocked out of the plane. Watch closely for that limp for the signal to
press the button.

His favorite attack is to rush at you quickly when he gets close, knocking
you down. He then charges up an overhead slam punch to whack you hard. You
ought to move out of the way quickly. Don't let him trap you next to the
catapult controls, or you'll probably get whacked by him several times
before you can break free. He's also hard to evade in the narrow space of
the plane. If you have to run past him, do it on his left side, which is
the one with the smaller claw. His punches are weaker on that arm. Also,
be careful not to stand too close to the open cargo door at the back of the
plane. If you're not careful, Tyrant will knock you out of the plane and
you'll be killed instantly!

If you listened to me and saved all your Gunpowder Arrows for this fight, it
will be over in seconds, and you'll waste minimal ammo and life. Simply
plug all your Gunpowder Arrows into Tyrant, slap the catapult switch and say
"Buh-bye!" to Tyrant.

As you can see from this chart above, if you still have the B.O.W. Gas
Rounds, you can also kill Tyrant as easily as if you had the Gunpowder
Arrows. Fire off the three B.O.W. Gas Rounds at the start of the battle,
then shoot a few more of any type of other grenade ammo at close range to
get him weak enough to knock him out. If you don't have any of that stuff,
there's always the Bowgun or the Handgun, though it'll take a TON of ammo to
kill him as you can see from the chart.

Even if you don't have any ammo, you can still kill Tyrant by hitting him a
few times with the crate. I highly discourage doing this though, unless you
don't have any choice. You'll have to constantly run back and forth past
Tyrant while waiting for the catapult to charge up. I hope you saved
healing items better than you saved ammo, if you're forced into killing
Tyrant this way.

While Resident Evil left a lot to be desired as a older non game playing viewer I loved it as a zombie movie. I loved the guy draggin the axe and the Euro trash zombies in that film were great. Personally the closer to human they look often but not always scares me the most. Watching the movie with the cast in the DVD commentary was great fun.

[corgi37]

Yeah, the zombies did look very Euro. They have their own style in Europe, thats for sure. Delamore Delemonte (is that what its called) for example, and Demons for another. I didnt mind RE, but it should have been much better. RE2 better be much better. As for the dvd, the commentary was the highlight. The 2 girls seemed to have a lot of fun. I wonder if grog was served? Milla is particular seemed very "happy".

[Mervin Chip Chipperson]

how do zombies look "european", one of the reasons I was disappointed with the original RE was they bearly had any character zombies, there was that 5 minute scene where michelle rodrigez (sp) was bit, and the rest of the movie just featured mobs of zombies, I hope this is different in RE2, my guess is it will be mostly mobs of zombies again

[kmfdm56]

i dont mind if i dont see one noticeable zombie but i do enjoy it.

[Bad Zombie Night]

*rubs DA'S scalp*Won't BZN be jealous? :evil:
Nah Hateful.
You've got in all wrong. Me and Darth's relationship is strictly on a professional level, but without your further probing, my answer to you is "yes." You have my permission, to have Darth's hand in marriage. :love: Good Luck! I think you two make a very lovely couple. :hug:

I've actually been looking to get the opinion of someone who isn't into the games. Great post, dude.

[goesaround]

Thanks my friend. This is the second time you have said something positive about something I have said. Thankyou. By the way I did play the game for 5 minutes in a game parlor .My son was playing resident evil in and he sat his dad down to play(me). I am still proud that i killed a zombie with a knife. No straegedy( I cant even spell it) just slash and kill the undead. I'm to slow to play the game I think. I loved the face on the zombie who suddenly appears at the glass and then walks away. I did totally hate the computer graphic monster. By the way where could i buy zombie movies like children shouldn't play with dead things? I bought on amazon a 10 dvd set'undead' I'm sending it back it was old karlof films!!!I want zombies and more zombies. Help where to buy something other then zombie by fulci..Oh thanks again for the high marks.

The first resident evil is one of the worst movies ever made.
Horrible action scenes, bad acting, stupid plot and barley any zombies. That said i hope this sequel turns out ok.

[Bad Zombie Night]

The first resident evil is one of the worst movies ever made.
I don't know about that.
I would say, it's probably one of the bigger disappointments out there, but one of the worst? You need to get out, and watch more Zombie pics my friend. :zom1:

[Darth Abominus]

Agreed. This movie was Casablanca compared to some of the crap I've seen in my day. It wasn't great, but it was okay. It was just your standard video-game-inspired movie. Too much video-game shit and not enough horror elements.

[kmfdm56]

it was more science fiction then horror, but the second should be just like the games.

[Darth Abominus]

I don't want it to be more like the games. I want it to be more like a horror movie. But I'm still looking forward to it.

[~HorrorCore~]

It will have the End Of TImes feel to it though from what I've read on the rumor mill... who knows.

I try not to have too many expectations about these kinds of films... I always get let down :x

[Darth Abominus]

Yea, I know what you mean, man. But I have a good feeling about this movie. I think it's really going to deliver.

[R.C.P.D.]

I didn't like the first film much at all......but this has alot more zombies, so maybe there could be hope for it...

I think that the RE movie series will come about much like the X-MEN. The first movie was just a primer. Introducing the characters and the storyline. With that success, much more money was spent on the second, and the next one is going to be an epic (I hope). So this next RE should be a blast.

I gotta tell you though. I dont think it will come close to DOTD 2004. Just my 2. :2cents:

[goesaround]

I wonder if they are presenting the zombies the same way as Resident Evil or will offer different makeup? I seem to be nearly alone in this but I liked the zombies in the first one. The way they went down when hit. I loved that 8 minute firefight scene. I prefer the human look then the comic book looking zombie. Nah I love them both but I hope they continue with the Euro Trash zombies..The thought of any of you, or myself turned zombie, is more frightining then a mushface monster

[Darth Abominus]

I'd like for them to remain the same. It helps the continuity along.

[corgi37]

The make up was pretty good i thought. Different, but ok.

I thought the RE zombies looked great! I hadn't realized there was any debate.

[Darth Abominus]

I liked them, too. I mean, they weren't the best I've ever seen. But I thought they were the best part of the movie.

[DocZomby]

Better than the leading lady? I think not! :mrgreen:

[Darth Abominus]

She was hot, no doubt. But the boobage in RE sucked. :roll:

[Sadogoat]

Heh, a little bit of trivia that's recently made the news:

"The Texas Chainsaw Massacre director Marcus Nispel will have his own sliver of creative work appear in the Screen Gems release of Resident Evil: Apocalypse. Maybe you're familiar with it?

Nispel, according to Variety, directed that faux teaser/commercial for Regenerate, a product of Resident Evil's Umbrella Corporation. The Hollywood trade paper says that since its debut on the web it has been downloaded a total of 8.5 million times. It's now a part of the Alexander Witt-directed sequel but it's unlikely Nispel will receive any kind of directing credit."

[Darth Abominus]

No credit? That would blow. But I bet he gets to attend the premiere. :mrgreen:

[Bastard Turtle]

He should get something, I mean that preview was better made than the entire first movie, I can't wait for RE2.

[Darth Abominus]

Well, it won't take much. Nude Milla Jovovich and more zombies is all I want. :mrgreen:

[Zombie Hime]

I just saw RE2 trailer in the movie theater. I recognized the vile right away and when I heard the words "Umbrella corporation," I had to cheer. :drinking: (Although no one else did.)

I am visiting the RE2 web site now but what is up with this site? I have cable modem and it is loading like a turtle. Someone call up sony and tell them whoever is making a website doesn't know how to use Flash!

[corgi37]

Yeah, i noticed RE site was slow too.

[Darth Abominus]

I just saw RE2 trailer in the movie theater.

What movie was it attached to?

[Zombie Hime]

Darth, it was "Troy."
It is the same trailer you see on RE web site.

Oh yes, the moman in the trailer was creepy. If I didn't see RE many times, I probabbly didn't realize the trailer is for RE. It started off like a regular cosmetic commercial. I can see some women buy that lotion if available in real life.

[corgi37]

The RE2 campaign is really cool. Very original. Lets just hope the actual movie is good.

[Sierra]

So far it looks good. I've been looking forward to a sequel since seeing the first one when it came out. Fairly faithful to the games (yes I admit I've played almost all of them).

The only thing I wish at the moment was that they would release another more detailed trailer. That darn cosmetic commercial leaves one REALLY wanting more.

[hatefuldisplay]

The only thing I wish at the moment was that they would release another more detailed trailer. That darn cosmetic commercial leaves one REALLY wanting more.I agree completely. I would have thought there would have been another trailer by now. Oh well, I'm still looking forward to it.

[gettowitch]

The 'Umbrella Corp' clued me in, but what really sealed it for me was the Doberman.

[bert]

maybe i'm crazy, but i wasn't a big fan of RE. Neither the games or the movie did anything for me. The big bad corporation creates a bunch of monsters, including a monster shark and a hurking frankenstein monster and a handful of special forces folks(the STARS members) have to fight them. Never mind the fact that the special forces team is stationed in this middle of nowhere small town for reason what so ever.

The zombies weren't "zombies" to me. they were fodder monsters for a monster game. In good zombie films, the horror of zombies lies in the fact that they are a reflection of humanity in it's pure bestial horror. In RE the zombies and monsters are just bizarre monsters created by some evil super corporation.

If it was just zombie people then it would have been fine, but then they kill it by having undead dogs, sharks, wierd creatures like the licker and Nemesis, and giant insects. Now instead of a good zombie horror game you have some goofy B-movie monster smorgasboard that is counting on cheap scares instead of solid visceral horror.

but maybes thats just me :)

[zombiekilling101]

I kind of agree with bert on the Resident evil movie and games. Dont get me wrong i enjoy the games and think there pretty fun but, some of the monsters are cheasy to me. But that doesnt matter casue its a video game.

the trailor for the movie make me mad becasue all it does is show footage from the first movie. i think they did that just to keep junior high kids excited.

I liked the movie butt it was nothing special. zombes were nicely done but that huter was cheap. Mila jovich running around in a dress and showing some tit is nice though. :D

and i dont think that the movie was faithful to the videogames. They didnt have any of the characters in it and the story didnt go with the games (except for the t-virus and umbrella.. (who the hell is Alice?) But atleast the sequeal has some game characters in it. hopefully nemesis isnt a cheap ass costume or a horrible special affect like the hunter.

[Zombie Hime]

Which trailer did you see Zombiekliing101? The one I saw had a commercial of revitalizing cream from Unbrella Corp.

Yes, it had a clip from the first RE, but that stir my imagination enough to look forward to the movie. I hate when a trailer shows all the good scenes from upcoming movie.

Yeah i saw the creme one too it was ok with the zoom in on Alice pumping the shotgun.. I guess it did do a good job of being a teaser trailor.

oh and i hate it to when they show the good parts in a movie. They do that especially in a comedy.. or when they show someone dying that you figure out is a main character so you already know what going to happen to him. :x

[Mervin Chip Chipperson]

New Trailer! yay

http://movies.yahoo.com/movies/feature/residentevilapocalypse.html

looks pretty action packed, with tons of cgi, and not many zombies in the trailer, but it still looks like this movie could be better then the first one (which I didn't like too much)

[hatefuldisplay]

Thanks for posting that link, Merv. It does look pretty cool. It looks to be more focused on genetically engineered monsters than zombies, but it does look cool. I must admit that Milla Jovovich and Sienna Guillory appear to be two very watchable stars as well.

[Sadogoat]

I thought the trailer was pretty awful really - it gave me the impression that this sequel is just a rehash of the first film with a bigger budget, bigger (and more) explosions, and alot of weak dialogue (no surprise, since the script is by Paul Anderson). The new "Super-Alice" reminds me too much of Ripley from Alien Resurrection - and that's not a good thing since I detested that film. The CGI Lickers haven't improved since the original flick and the Nemesis doesn't strike me as a particularly imposing-looking monstrosity. To top it all off, I hated the obligatory rock track that accompanies the later portion of the trailer.

After the rather inventive pseudo-commercial teaser, I was vaguely hoping that this film would be an improvement over the first. But having seen this trailer, it looks like just more of the same. And since I didn't care much at all for Resident Evil, it looks like this will also disappoint. I'll probably see it, but my expectations certainly aren't high.

[Pain]

Just saw the trailer and thoiught it actually looked better than the first movie! Have always been a fan of the games but felt that the first movie deviated away from them too much (still enjoyed it though). Am looking forward to seeing the new one when we eventually get it over here! :evil:

[smashbot]

I really enjoyed the first one, but this one looks a little weak. Nemesis looked dorky, the lickers seemed extraneous, and Alice appears (as Sadogoat put it) a little too Ripley-esque. I mean, she could already do some pretty acrobatic moves (like the jumpkick that killed the zombie doberman), so why make her this uber-human?

Part of what make zombie movies suspenseful is the notion that the zombies are indefatigable and will eventually overwhelm you. If you have a person capable of performing superhuman feats, you lose a lot of the psychological terror, since the zombies no longer become much of a threat. Not that the original RE wasn't more action based than your standard zombie flick, but at least you felt the protagonists didn't have a huge physical advantage over their pursuers. If they were to get surrounded or run out of ammo, that was it. Now, it appears Alice=Ripley=Neo. In otherwords, lame.

[analogzombie]

What we must remember about the franchise is that it has less and less to do with zombies with each incarnation. I mean they rejected Romero's original script for the film b/c it had too many zombies and wasn't a big enough action flick. The series of games, and now the movies is more and more about physical mutations and bio-monsters. Perhaps, b/c its Japanese, and there doesn't seem to be any complacency with zombies in japan. What I mean is, there is no straght ahead Japanese zombie movie. They always involve kung fu, gun toting, zombies, or weird aliens zombies, or whatever. They are not just zombies. So its no wonder that the Resident Evil films would reflect the progression of the brand from zombie-eque action to crazy bio-monster explosion fest.

In summation: If you are going to see these movies b/c you want a zombie film, you are going to the wrong film.

[Helu]

Junk is, with the exception of one thing, a pure zombie movie.

Also the first trailer for the original Resident Evil didn't show any zombies except for the girl in the tank. I think it looks good. I like the parts were they show the infection speading throughout the city.

[analogzombie]

you just said it yourself, it's not a pure zombie movie. it features a super zombie that happens to be the scientist's woman, or whatever. it has the other aspect to it, which is actually the heart of the film.

[CABAL]

Hi. I've been reading this forum for a long time, but I just saw the Apoc. trailer, and
HAD to say this.

Watching Milla running down the building was terrible...simply terrible. Why does she
have to be super-Milla??

Thanks,

Nicholas

[Jiisu]

I believe that what Alice is experiencing in the trailer is a taste of T-Virus induced super human ability, much like Albert Wesker did in Code Veronica. Actually I think he was infected with the G-Virus, but regardless my point is since wesker became semi-tyrant like in his abilities, Alice has also probably been treated with this same... well... treatment. But yeah other than that explination this movie looks alot like Sado just said, more of the same. It's sad really because the first flick left me with high hopes for the future as did the first resident evil 2 trailer. Lets hope that what we're seeing now isnt all they have instore for us. I'd like to see some sequences like in Outbreak where an assload of zombies break through a police barricade and get the living hell blown out of them.

[Sadogoat]

Hrmmm....not alot of people seem to have noticed that in the scene with Alice 'running' down the side of the building, there's a cable and harness attached to her at the waist. It's not hard to see if you pause the video and look. So as 'super' as she's become, she still isn't able to defy the laws of gravity.... :D

That said, as soon as I saw that scene, I was immediately reminded of a similar event in EA's recent James Bond game, Everything Or Nothing. Just goes to show the lack of originality out there these days :)

[Threl Kaar]

Hey whats up with having Jill in the movie for like 3 min...?

[analogzombie]

Just saw the trailer....

ok, well, hmmm....

The first one isn't an epic, or a great film, but its fun and enjoyable. i liked it. i don't know about this one... the trailer makes it look totally stupid and ridiculous. i'll see it but i'm not holding much hope. i mean c'mon, super-Alice? and the lickers look cheesy.

[Ravenheart]

I liked the first one and from the looks of the trailer,I'll like this one as well.

[killerzombie87]

Did you see the official trailer yet? It looked good, until it showed alice running down a building.

http://movies.yahoo.com/shop?d=hv&id=1808495843&cf=trailer

[Ravenheart]

Yeah I saw the trailer for the first time this morning.The running down the side of the building didn't bother me too much.I'll wait and see how it looks on the big screen.

[R.C.P.D.]

I loved he original RE game. But the movie was a letdown. I enjoyed it, but it could have had a totally different title and we not know it was RE for the most part.

[corgi37]

The trouble for me is, its looking like a sci-fi movie, not a zombie horror flick. The main "enemy", the undead, are now secondary. Which is shit, considering this is "allthingszombie.com". Now, we got lickers, Nemesis and Super Alice (who, hopefully, briefly gives us a bit of "Super NUDE Alice"). I mean, the last scene in RE1 gives you so much hope for RE2. Like, whoa, that is a heap load of destruction. The dead walk!!! blah, blah, blah, RE2 is gonna be chock full of them hungry zombies. Well, if they spent the FX budget on nemesis and lickers, you can just bet those suckers are going to get the main screen time.

oh, sure, the 1st 15-20 minutes might be wall-to-wall zombie evasion scenes. I hope! Running down alley ways, into deserted buildings, through the rubble. Then, i fear it will be a case of "zombies? Shombies! We got Nemesis to worry about!"

I mean, its kind of the main hassle with Undead as well. Starts off great, then 1/2 way through, its a case of WTF? - Mind you, i forgive Undead because it was original and Aussie (sniff - wipes tear of patriotism from eye and waves little Chinese made Aussie flag).

Know what i mean?

[R.C.P.D.]

I know exactly what you mean...

They missed the whole unraveling "mansion" aspect of the game.

They could have followed the game script and story line within two hours and had a winner. Fast forward and action packed. Which would have been pretty exciting to watch for gamers. But, like you said, it turned sci-fi.

[analogzombie]

that's basically what Romero's original script was: Jill Valentine and a couple other STARS team guys stuck in a mansion being overrun by zombies as they try to fight them off and find a way out, unraveling the story of what and how it all happened as they go. It wasn't 'glossy' enough for CAPCOM or the studio though.

Has anyone seen the japanese TV commercial for Resident Evil 3 that Romero shot?

The commercials were for Resident Evil 2, and yeah, there was a thread about them here awhile ago with links to them online.

alot of fans of the games did not want them to become movies :x they are fun video games to play but I wouldn't want to base a movie on them..the worst zombie movies belong in the action sub genre (DOTD 2004 springs to mind) the best rely on suspense..Night of the Living Dead, Dawn 1978 etc :clap:

I must disagree. First, that Dawn '04 is a bad film and second, that the action subgenre is where the worst zombie movies belong.

The Dead Hate the Living...
Biker Zombies from Detroit (I think that's the title)...
Hell of the Living Dead...

Need I continue?

It is true that Apocalypse is more bio mutation film than a zombie film, but we must remember that the whole series was originally called Biohazard and that the zombies are just a by-product. Overall the series stays pretty much the same as far as zombie count goes, from what I've played. (And I've played all but File 2) So, yeah, the films are going to be less about zombies generally.

While the films do, to a certain extent, miss the boat as far as puzzle solving, and Paul spends a lot of time thinking with the wrong head when it comes to Milla's character, overall they aren't bad.

it'd be a boring forum if everyone agreed on everything...I hated DOTD 2004..I expected it to live up to the original..it was already up against a "Cult Classic" and squandered all the potential it could have had..I want some plot, storyline and character development...not a whole lot..heck just give me a little :x


sorry never heard of those other movies

I never saw the original DOTD which is probably why I like DOTD 04 so much. It was nice and realistic which is what I like in a movie.

About RE: Apocalypse, it's the biggest load of poo I've ever had the mispleasure to watch due to the female characters (women fighting is not my thing) the cheesey graphics (the lickers) and the pathetic action scenes (she enters the church through the window on a motorbike :puke: ). For these reasons and more I declare this film unworthy of my time. :poo:

[jackskellington]

About RE: Apocalypse, it's the biggest load of poo I've ever had the mispleasure to watch due to the female characters (women fighting is not my thing)

Are you sure you're a 25 year old male? :think:

[Ilovezombies!]

Well I'm not sure if this was already brought up (since i didn't take the time to read the many pages of this forum yet) but I was curious as to how and why they decided to make zombie's come out of the ground in the graveyard scene when I was lead to believe the only thing that makes the zombies in this movie awake are aparently the "T" virus, how did they get infected in the GROUND?? Other then that I like RE:APOC alot!

Guess the virus could've infected the earth itself since the hive was underground. Good question!! Doesn't really matter to me though, I just view both RE movies as excellent over the top action flicks which happen to have a few zombies in them. I watch those movies with a completely different frame of mind than when I watch Dawn 78 or something like that.

[Agent 100]

I liked the first movie hated the second.

[Preach]

if they make a movie based on the "Grand Theft Auto" videogames moviegoers will hate them too :drinking: :doh:

[Ilovezombies!]

I liked both resident evil movies, i've never played the games so i can into the first movie not knowing what to expect, and I did like them, but the second one did seem better.

[Darth Erroneous]

I liked both resident evil movies, i've never played the games so i can into the first movie not knowing what to expect, and I did like them, but the second one did seem better.
It would be nice to be able to watch the movies without ever having played the games. If we were all able to see the movies with fresh eyes, I'm sure that there wouldn't be as many non-supporters of the franchises. Cheers to you for being able to see them purely as movies and not translations! :)

[jackskellington]

I've played the games and loved every minute of them, but when the first movie came out, I was really hoping it would be faster paced than the games and I was happy to find that it was. Don't get me wrong, I like the slow building tension in the games, but when I see a movie, I want fast paced action which Apocolypse delivered even better than the first movie. I like pretty much anything as long as it's not one of those trendy movies that only unemployed art students like so that they can sit at Starbucks all day trying to convince one another of how much smarter they are than everyone else.

[Dark Prince]

[QUOTE=jackskellington]Yeah...Hot girls in short skirts fighting zombies really sucks. It's such an insult to my extremely high intellect and moral standards!:rimshot:

I'm not extremely smart and I don't have too much moral standards but COME ON! Women in short skirts fighting zombies is too stupid for anyone who has left thier teen years behind and even slightly matured. It's pathetic and unwatchable and therefor unworthy :x :puke: :poo:

[corgi37]

Yeah, hot girls in short skirts should be washing cars, and frolicking in the suds.

[Darth Erroneous]

I doubt it would have the same affect if they were wearing fatigues and flack jackets...mmmmmm...hot girls in fatigues... :evil:

[jackskellington]

I'm just saying that there is a HUGE market for hot girls in short skirts doing ANYTHING, so throwing them into a zombie fight is just combining my two favorite things! Trust me, I've left my teen years far behind but since when does that mean I have to be impotent? I'm turning 35 in October so I've gotta enjoy this type of thing while I still can, right?
