Resident Evil 2

[zombiekilling101]

Alright since the other one was closed start up this one with a poll.

[vtchatman]

this was better than the first which was ok.

[EvilsNewName]

I actually liked it so I voted "good" :)

[Send_More_Cops]

It was a good movie, Nice to see zombie/action movies coming to the big screen for a change

[hatefuldisplay]

I don't really care for your rating scheme. Decent= Good enough for my top lists? I think it is decent, but wouldn't place it on my top list. Bad= Good enough to rent or buy? Oh well. I didn't vote. Sorry. It didn't make much sense to me.

[Morbidfilm]

yeah this poll doesnt make much sense. I voted decent, but it's far from a top list, but I didn't think it was bad, but it's worth buying.

[zombiekilling101]

well if you thought it was decent, than say you voted decent but not its not my top. come on guys.

[SGT. DEATH]

I really liked it. :drinking:

[hatefuldisplay]

well if you thought it was decent, than say you voted decent but not its not my top. come on guys.Read your poll options and read your post again. They contradict. Anyway, if it said decent, but not on my top list, that would be my vote. It's not an option, but I guess that's what you meant.

[zombiekilling101]

Read your poll options and read your post again. They contradict. Anyway, if it said decent, but not on my top list, that would be my vote. It's not an option, but I guess that's what you meant.

what i meant is that if its decent enough to be in the higher ranks in your dvd zombie collection, not down the line say by zombie lake.

But hey we're taking too much time on this subject.

[DEAD-KNIGHT]

Ok i'm a RE freak since the PSone version came out when I was in 6th grade. You can't go wrong with the story line of a bio weapon mishap or in the scenerio of umbrella everything planned out. But I can admit that because of my favortism of RE I am blinded to how I truly should feel about this film.

[DocZomby]

Given the options available, I had to declare it bad. It was worth renting and I'm glad I saw it, but only because I consider myself a fan of the genre. I don't think it's worth buying. I should point out that I am not well versed on the games.

The zombies weren't given the screen time to make me see it as a "zombie" movie. The characters were all quite well armed from the get go. You never got a feel of desperation or improvising with what was on hand (one of the more exciting features of zombie fiction). The lack of zombie screen time bacame all the more surprising when watching the special features and seeing the amount of practice and training that went into the undead work.

Great leading ladies but little more than an '80's script with modern special effects.

I remember the good old days when videogames were inspired by movies. Not vice versa.

[Zombie-A-GoGo]

I'm having the same trouble hateful is having. I read this as four good options and one bad. Sorry.

[RIP]

I voted good and thought that it was better than the first one.

[!Vision!]

I had to vote bad, because it wasn't a complete mess, but there is no way I would buy this. It's a rent once, watch once, please don't make any more kinda movie.

[Dagnammit]

This movie was mind-numbingly bad. Much worse than the first one, which I disliked but didn't hate, and nowhere near as cool as the games.

At the end of Resident Evil there was promise of a cool Romero-type action/horror, or at least a great movie version of the Resident Evil 2 video game. But they blew it all on flashy, shakey camerawork (its near-impossible to see what's going on in a lot of the action scenes) and a terrible script filled with endless backflips, karate kicks, slow motion explosions, forgettable characters, bloodless killings and awful, awful dialogue. The whole experience left me desensitised and terminally bored.

[Bad Zombie Night]

I enjoyed this one more than the first Resident Evil film. The Zombies looked OK, and they seemed to move a little faster than the Romero ones. It also had a sci-fi twist to it, that would ultimately over shadow the Zombies in the movie. It was more like they had two themes in one story. On the one hand, you had the T-Virus with the Zombies, and on the other, you had the Nemesis project. Frankly, I thought they should've stayed with battling the Zombies, and the disease. I thought the whole Nemesis deal sort of of detracted from the disaster of the virus escaping, and public crisis that ensued.

[DocZomby]

Interesting BZN. I liked the first RE flick much more for the very same resons you site for likeing the second. RE2 was just an excuse to make some more money out of the franchise and they didn't work to hard with the storyline. At least in the first one we had the small suspense about who was working for whom and the group had the shock of dealing with the undead. In 2 we see a brand new character walk on screen and she pops one in the head like she was making the first pot of coffee.

And the nemesis guy? Oy! Nothing wastes screen time more than a full body shot of a monster that we have to stare at for long stretches of time. Way to kill the tension. Watching this movie was about as enthrlling as watching someone else play a video game.

hmmmmm.......:think:

Doc, didn't that Nemesis guy remind you sort of someone else.
Oh, let's say, Robocop... Without all the stainless steel? :loon:

hmmmmm.......:think:

Yeah, that's where the idea came from. I think they should've taken a lesson from Dawn of the Dead 04', and wrote a different story, instead of looking at the video game as a template for a storyline. Didn't anyone learn anything from House of the Dead? :x

[zululord]

I really loved the zombie school kids scene. Is that in the game?

[SGT. DEATH]

I really loved the zombie school kids scene. Is that in the game?
No I dont remember a school in any RE games.

[DEAD-KNIGHT]

I think everyone is missing the point of the film makers.

1. Listen to the commentary of RE2, watch special features and listen to the behind the scenes.

2. They were targeting the marketing area more so the fans of the video game.

3. The writers of this film should've payed attention to forums like ours or the internet buzz on the sequel to RE2, to get advice. E.G. When making the sequel to THE CROW Tim Pope (director) and James O'Barr (Creator and Writer) payed exclusive attention to the CROW forum from james official website. They followed almost to a 'T' .

4. The creators of RE2 weren't even trying and as for NEMESIS I thought it was well played out, but as for a thriller, this movie had non, i say get rid of the damn super chick and start with the Mansion of Resident Evil the incident outside of racoon city. But sadly enough, i enjoyed RE2.

[DocZomby]

I don't think I missed the point, I'm just saying I think we need to set the bar higher. The success of the first RE didn't rely as heavily on the video game as RE2. So it was just a better movie.

Can anyone here name a movie, that was based on a video game, which had any merit above special effects?

As long as we keep going to the theater to see this kind of blahse "I'll see it just because it's a zombie movie" attitude, there is no reason for film makers to shoot for the stars. I agree with DK that film makers should pay more attention to sites like this, but I'm afraid my ego just can't take being told I missed the point. :)

[Bad Zombie Night]

2. They were targeting the marketing area more so the fans of the video game.

Wow. Talk about exploiting a particular market. Zombie fans, such as myself, really feel duped. :doh: :zom1:

[DEAD-KNIGHT]

but I'm afraid my ego just can't take being told I missed the point. :)


Didn't mean that directly to you. Just as a general announcement.


PS Your avatar is sweet, saw that movie in the theatre when i was in 3rd grade much love for the UNIVERSAL MONSTERS.

I know now!!! :lol:


*back to subject*

[skelington]

To many things going on in this movie. You had the zombie out break, people trying to get out of the place, Nemesis running around, the search for the little girl, Alice and the gang trying to just live, and the evil corperation covering it up. Slap on a ton of gun fights and a few explosions and suddenly there is no room for a plot. Plus the zombies popping out of the ground in the graveyard bugged the hell out of me. :x How dose a virus affect a dead body barried 6 ft under????? It was bad but I will probable buy this one just cause I'm a sucker for zombies and a hot women kicking ass.

Yeah you're right. The movie was pretty busy.

Now that you've mentioned it, you're right about that one too. When I saw it, I just accepted it as the zombies in the story. Maybe because there was so much going on, perhaps they thought, they could slip one past the audience. I've got to go back, and watch that part of the film again. Maybe someone said something, that I might have missed, to explain away that part of the movie.

[azomination]

THEY SHOULD HAVE LET GEORGE R,DIRECT THE FILM AND TOM S,DO THE MAKE UP FX :loon: THEY WILL NEVER LEARN. :x

[DEAD-KNIGHT]

Ok, just looked through one of my Fangoria mags I just realized something I've yet to read posted by anyone else...

Resident Evil since square one has had mutations: human to zombie, human - hunter, human - licker, dog - zombie dog, human - tyrant, bug - giant bug etc.

Nowhere in the second film did it show any mutation take place where as in RE1 we saw the licker turn into the BULL-LICKER. I'm very dissapointed that the RE films are lacky the very thing that made the story. Grant it they decdided to have more charachters from the actual game, but that I believe was their cunning attempt to trick us into enjoying the film, but they can't pull that black curtain over my eyes!

But... I still have to add this to my collection. Sorry it must be done as much as it makes me sick to my stomach.

The reason Fangoria popped this idea in my head, THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO GORE in RE2, not enought to be featured in FANGORIA even though it was. I'm pissed off, get rid of ALICE already bring back the MANSION!

[TheBatman]

It's entertaining, to say the least. I got the two movies together for 25 dollars, so I'm happy.

[Mr. Grey]

I thought that the makers of this movie completely screwed up the Nemesis. He wasn't tall enough, fast enough, or agressive enough. :x

[zombiekilling101]

yeah i though he was alittle funny looking but if i was him in real life id shit myself.

[deadwench13]

This film was two hours of my life I wish I could get back! I've played the games and even read the novels by S.D. Perry and it was disturbing to see them change the characters around. The Ashfords were twins and no relation to the father/daughter in the movie, Nicholai was supposed to steal the virus and he ends up being a good guy, not to mention that Jill Valentine was completely overshadowed by Alice's character. There were so many creepy monsters that they could have put in the movie but didn't and half way through the film I forgot there were any zombies even around.

[Mindtraveller]

Didn't vote, the options made not much sense.

I didn't like the movie. It didn't work as a horror, nor a thriller, not even fully as an action flick (although it's the way it works best). It's one of those films where substance is compromised in favor of style, and as such, the result is a film that looks nice for the most part, but fails to hold any kind of interesting content.

The following comments contain spoilers.

The direction was amateurish at best, and there are some scenes where the transition is awful (the scene where LJ gets in the van is a perfect example of this. Nice Dodge product placement, though). Plotholes abound; there is no tension bulit whatsoever, and the action parts come across as contrived and unengaging.

The character psychology is another flaw; you might say that special forces members might be better prepared to react against seeing monsters on the loose, but when a TV network employee goes around with a handycam, barely showing any kind of fear for seeing a licker, and staying amazingly calm when she turns around to see a gun pointed to her face doesn't make much sense (I could buy the gun one, but not the monster confrontation). The guy in the church made a much more better job of showing fear because a monster is leaping around.

As for the rest, when Carlos' partner is killed, he has no problem with it, at least Valentine shows how she is actually affected when his friend is killed. Alice is just too powerful for her own good, there is no reason to care for her, there is no sense of danger when she is on the screen. Not to mention that on top of making her amazingly agile, strong and physically enhanced, they give her mental powers at the end, which is just too much; she has turned into a demigoddess, and a lead character with those kind of characteristics practically kills any kind of thrill. However, the worst part is that these people are not really developed, they are just cliched action-heroes (or in LJ's case, a funny black guy cliché). Finally, the Umbrella Corporation seems to have limitless funds and power, which in turns makes it too unbelievable.

As a whole, the movie lacks soul, it fails to create any kind of content, it's the equivalent of eating at some fast food joint; it might taste good, but its nutritional value is close to zero. So it's a zombie-action flick that is not supposed to really have content, that's true, but it also fails as that; the action scenes are unengaging and predictable, the zombies are not truly menacing.

Redeeming qualities? The school scene works fine, especially the zombie kids sequence. Why? Because it actually creates some build-up and tension, it brings a kinda claustrophobic atmosphere to the mix, and that is what makes it work. Unfortunately, this is quickly killed by the "look at me, I'm so tough and cool" scene where Valentine throws the matches to the already gas filled kitchen, only to fail because Alice could not be left behind, so the annoyance factor has to be increased by an even bigger "look at me, I'm tougher and cooler than you" scene. It really was painful.

I can't really think of other good moments. Well, Sienna Guillory looks stunningly gorgeous, but that's only personal eye candy and besides the point. ;)

So let's see. Does it work as horror or a thriller? No. Does it work as an action film? At a certain level, yes. It is mildly entertaining. Is it as horrible as other movies, like House of the Dead? Of course not, but what is worse than HotD anyway?

Once again, style triumphs over substance; given the nature of the movie, it was expected, but not in such a way where the substance is basically non-existant.

[EVIL_TONY]

:evil: :evil: :evil: This movie is a good action, but it's not film about zombie.That's my opinion!!!

[Divided Soul]

One of my problems with the movie (and no one has mentioned it b4) is the way they blur the camera when showing some of the crowds of Zombies. I think this was a terrible way to some $. Like I would rather have seen some Gored out shamblers rather than the screen get all blurry and give me the impression that there were lots of zombies moving around!

yeah alot of members have complained about this dumbass sequence! so stupid.

[JohnDRobinson]

I don't know, man. I really enjoyed the whole movie. It was in the spirit of the games. It was dumb as hell but it worked on some infantile stupidity level. It opened number one at the box office and it probably going to spawn a third one. Jovovich is the only down side. Considering she is the star (and banging the writer/producer) it's a shame. She was good in the first one and the second one i didn't believe she was that tough. Valentine I bought. But Alice? Not so much.

Still though, I loved the idea of it and spirit behind it.

[zombiekilling101]

you know john d, i see your point about the video game feel, the games stories are corny at best and this movie (like you said) is corny as hell.

I agree with you on alice too, she was alot better in the first one. And jill, :drool: damn shes hot.

[JohnDRobinson]

It could've been so much better. Without Alice it could've been on that Romero level. Carlos was good -- Jill was good -- Comparing with House of the Dead though, as I've seen earlier on this thread, I wouldn't go that far. HoTD was cheese. Stinky cheese. But I still liked it. This had waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more potential. It's a shame. But I still enjoy it.

[zombiekilling101]

eh i think they tried to hard to be "cool" and appealing to the younger movie gowers, with introducing a character jumping out of an helicopter is just going to far to me.

and for house of the dead, that movie was just plain shitty, the amount of corny crap they put in it made it sink even lower.

and trying to please some zomibe fans by refering to romero and his films is just so dumb to me, couldnt stop laughing.

[JohnDRobinson]

Hey, HoTD was bad. No argument. But I still like it.

[zombiekilling101]

define "like it"

the only thing i liked about it were the head shots and the part when the lady cop gets her legs chopped off while trying to get into the house through the window

[JohnDRobinson]

Good clean dumb fun. I had zero expectations going in and wasn't disappointed. I admired the effort -- as poorly executed as it was -- and the ambition (trying to energize the zombie genre) unfortunately 28 Days Later was the kick in the arse that the genre needed. When I say like I say I can watch it. I've seen 1,000 worse movies. I've seen just as many better movies. It's not one of my favorites . But I don't hate it with a passion. The whole pirate thing took me out of it though. The only decent thing in the movie was Ona Grauer http://us.movies1.yimg.com/movies.yahoo.com/images/hv/photo/movie_pix/boll_kg/the_house_of_the_dead/ona_grauer/dead.jpg

That's really my reason for liking it.

[zombiekilling101]

ahhh yep, you share my interests.. she was a valuable asset to the film, running in slow motion and such was enough to get me past the fact that she suddenly new how to sword fight.

and i feel sorry for the director, making a zombie movie (assuming hes a zombie fan) and getting bashed by fellow fans constantly for it.

[JohnDRobinson]

That sword fighting things, I learned, was cut by the producers. The girl was supposed to be a fencer and set up earlier in the pic. I think the original draft would've been good if they filmed it. Altman's commentary was good and just cynical enough.

[zombiekilling101]

ohhhh, i guess that would have made alittle more sense. how much did it cost to make the movie anyway? adn is the director proud of his work?

[JohnDRobinson]

I think Boll is too stupid to know otherwise. I guess he is proud of it. Seems to mention the box office gross at the drop of the hat. The budget (according to IMDB.com) was 7mil. Then look at marketing and what not. Probably 15-20 million and it made 10 mil at the BO. So it still flopped. You can pick the DVD up at Hollywood Video for about six bucks. I don't know, man. The movie got made. Someone obviously liked it. That's why I think the script must have been at least half way decent before Mr. Boll screwed it up.

RE2 did about 130mil worldwide. No telling what HoTD did. I'm guessing less.

[zombiekilling101]

resident evil also had a bigger fan base not only from the games but from the first movie.


hotd had flat out no names in it, at least RE2 had scot farkus from a chirstmas story in it:lol:

[Quinn]

Meh, it was ok I just kinda wanted to use this space to share this two litte images

http://www.residentevilfan.ws/largeimages/gallery/icon-zonb2.gif

http://www.residentevilfan.ws/largeimages/gallery/icon-zoninu2.gif

Stupid-yes. Does it make the film better imagining that they are chasing the characters instead of the silly rubber costume-yes.

[nigel101]

i voted fantastic because i thought we where talking about the PS2 game which rocked bets them all.

But as for the film i aint seen it, i didnt really like the first one.

[Preach]

it was way better than DOTD 2004 in my not so humble opinion..

[furygrrl]

Well, I'm biased for two reasons:

1 - I love all things Resident Evil.

2 - I got to see Toronto get nuked on the big screen. ;-)

I'm pretty sure it's the latter of the two that had me enjoying this movie instead of picking it apart like I might done have otherwise. Being able to point out zombie-fied landmarks I see on a regular basis - the Westwood Theatre (the place where the STARS members get blown away by Nemesis), the International Building at the CNE (the beautifully lit up glass building being used as one of Umbrella's headquarters), and City Hall (where the helicopter takes off from) - definitely gave me a little thrill.

As for some of the previously mentioned details others found irksome:

Alice - I don't mind Milla. I think she did a decent job in the first installment, and likewise in the second - and it wasn't like she wrote the script. She did the best with the material she was given. The only complaint I had about her performance was with regards to the fight scenes. They were too choppy, presumably to cover a weakness in that area. If she can't fight or couldn't at least fake being able to do so with some degree of realism, they should have brought in a grrl who could.

Teri Morales - I agree; she was an irritating, inconsistent, almost pointless character. She ranked high on my list of 'zombie snackables'.

Nemesis - I think I'm one of the very, VERY few who enjoyed seeing the big guy make his screen debut. I didn't mind his Toxic Avenger-ish features, I *loved* his pleathery get-up (I want his boots!), and aside from his UBER LAME 'turn from the darkside' moment towards the end, his scenes were great fun. Watching him chase Alice filled me with the same kind of nervous tension I used to get whenever he chased ME during RE3. Hee! Like I said - FUN stuff! :mrgreen: (I'd hoped to see more of Matt, though, he was such a cutie...)

The Graveyard Zombies - This incredibly stupid scene didn't have to go down the way it did. In the book, we're told that Raccoon City's groundwater has, by this time, been contaminated by the T-Virus, and that's why the dead are rising. All the writers had to do was inject ONE line of dialogue to explain this. Instead, we're treated to a pale imitation of MJ's Thriller. And did anyone else wonder how some of those corpses were able to kick about? Most of them were pretty decomposed, so wouldn't it stand to reason that their brains/spinal columns were too far gone for the virus to reanimate them?

As for the Ashford twins being relegated to a supporting role/father-daughter team, all I can say is that I got a very Angela-ish vibe from Super Alice at the end of the movie. It's pretty obvious that Alice's powers/allegiance will have a different focus in RE3, and it's likely because of this new angle that Angie's character was toned down.

Eh...whatever. In a nutshell, it all boils down to me liking more than I disliked, so I have to give RE2 a thumbs up. It was good, brainless entertainment, and I'll definitely be in line for RE3 - though Silent Hill (yet another Toronto-based project) is the flick I'm *really* jonesing for. :)

[Divided Soul]

First I've heard of Silent Hill being made into a movie... Can't wait! :)

[Pain]

The guy that directed Brotherhood of the wolf is directing it. The potential is there for the first decent game to movie adaptation.

Roger Avary is producing if i am not mistaken.

[Ellis]

It was a good movie if you consider it an action movie more then a zombie film. The zombies are more monsters than anything and they are only seen in a few scenes for short ammounts of time. I loved the Alice/Nemesis fighting, and Nemesis did not look like a hunk of clay.

I give it a 9/10 for action, suspense and a hilarious black guy.

Man: "Why arent we in the air?"

Black guy: "Cause I usually drive a catalac."

[VXTip556]

i liked it more than the 1st one but the action scened were too blurred and they never seemed particularly scared of the zombies merely inconvenienced, i loved watching it but i'm deffinitly blinded by my love for Resident Evil, i guess i feel it just didn't have enough action/violence and gore, oh well still love watching it

[Divided Soul]

IMHO, Love of resident evil will cover many of the movies short comings... :) I felt the same way about the blurred action scenes... I felt they did that to save some money on effects...

[i-eat-ears]

Seeing as I love the first RE film and would happily watch it about once a week I just don't think the second one lived up to it. It doesn't have the soul of the first one and makes that fatal mistake (in my eyes) of focussing solely on what effects they can create and on CGI. To me it's the characters and how they interact that makes a film, as well as a decent storyline. I watched the extras and yeah it's great that Milla looks like she's running down the side of a building but so what, it doesn't make you want to buy it. I didn't like the nemesis and I thought the claustrophobic feel of the first film where it's all set in the Hive underground worked so much better than the larger scale of a whole city.

[zombiekilling101]

i agreee about the stupid cg crap. The dumbest WTF moment had to be when that one dude jumped outa the helicoptor.

And i think they could have dont the city really well, if only they would have explored it more. And the nemesis looked like a dude in a suit.. and a shitty suit at that.. and why the hell would a sniper shoot at him in his chest while hes been capping zombies all night in the head? just another dumbass part.

[Darth Erroneous]

"How good is this piece of S***?" That's a loaded question if I ever heard one! good poll, though.

[Mervin Chip Chipperson]

Didn't like it, I like zombie movies with more of an emphasis on zombies, this movie had way too much other stuff going on, such as all the mutants. I realize that that is what RE was about apparently ( I never played the games, I was more of a nintendo guy back in the day) but I would have prefered less super human, umbrella conspiracy bs, and more zombie hordes.

[Darth Erroneous]

It had great potential for that, didn't it? What pissed me off was whenever it had good shots of the zombie hordes it was in that messed up camera view. I did like the ground shot of all the carnage a la RE3 Nemisis opening movie.

[Divided Soul]

Yeah I didn't like the blurred camera thing either, I thought it was an easy way out instead of doing great effect work!

[corgi37]

I only saw RE2 a couple of weeks ago on cable.

Man, i feel so dirty, but i actually didnt mind it.

Very frustrated with the camera work in showing the zombies too. Mustnt have had much of a FX budget.

[Scotty_Soldier]

It wasn't fantastic, took a bit of time to get to the main plot, but it was good when it started up.

[BLADES]

It wasn't fantastic, took a bit of time to get to the main plot, but it was good when it started up.

I liked Resident 2... especially the School scene where that girl is eatin by kids.

[zombiekilling101]

its in the bottom 5 zombie flicks for me. Im thinking of buying it though just to add to the collection.

[Red_RidingHood]

loved the first... second just didn't cut it tho... my friends love the games- but I'm not a gamer so I have no idea.

[corgi37]

I'd buy the dvd, but then, why dont i just burn the damn thing?

Hey, cool idea!

Thanks!

[Darth Erroneous]

I'd buy the dvd, but then, why dont i just burn the damn thing?

Hey, cool idea!

Thanks!
If you burn it, then you don't get the cool looking box and it looks out of place with all of the other bought ones.

[MonsterHunter]

Is this movie as bloodless at first one?!!!
If I remember correctly there was not much gore in the first movie?!

[zombiekilling101]

this movie isnt that gory. Its mostly stupid to me:)

Its got some good head shots and fighing, but no real great zombie feasting. but Ive only seen it once so I might be mistaken.

[MonsterHunter]

Thanks!

I had a feeling it would be one of of those watered down hip zombie movies.
Now I know I want be spending any money on this one.
Never was a big fan of the original either.

[Divided Soul]

I'd have to say that RE1 was great.... I wish Anderson had directed this one also instead of just writting it.

[Roger]

It was okay, I didn't really like the fact that Alice was a God!

[Divided Soul]

It was okay, I didn't really like the fact that Alice was a God!
Dude I love you sig.... Did you make that yourself?

[Darth Erroneous]

It was okay, I didn't really like the fact that Alice was a God!
She's somewhat comparable to Neo in her transition.

BTW, Roger, saw your link and went to Umbrella, Inc. and joined. Sweet site! :clap:

[Roger]

Dude I love you sig.... Did you make that yourself?
No I had it made. I also have three other versions of it, one I did make.

She's somewhat comparable to Neo in her transition.

That is a good point, but I just didn't like it when Alice killed all the guards at the end, and the dogs in the school, and Nemesis! He was such a sissy in that movie!

Yeah I agree... but it makes me curious to see where it goes in the next movie...

RE2 kicked ass!! I've said it before and I'll say it again...Hot girls in short skirts with guns battling the undead. Does it get any better than that?

[zombiekilling101]

RE2 kicked ass!! better than that?

Bah Land Kicked ASS!

The movie was so, so trendy it was sick.

[warior 13]

I liked it, it made a great action movie, it obviously wasn't a horror movie and wasn't supposed to be.

[zombiekilling101]

I'm watching it again and its not ass bad as the first time I saw it, cause I am looking at it like alot of you guys do, as an action movie with zombies. In that case its not that bad.

I don't think it can. Valentine was smokin'!

[jackskellington]

Exactly!! And aren't they both gonna be in the third installment? I can't wait!!!

[Divided Soul]

Well hot chicks do rock! and so don't zombies....

The woman who played Jill is ugly without any makeup!

[warior 13]

But shes hot in the movie and that's all that matters.

[Nemesis]

I voted decent, although I own the DVD it's really just not that great. Mike Epps was hilarious and Nemesis sucked.

But shes hot in the movie and that's all that matters.
I agree. Sienna Guillory is Hot.

Resident Evil 2 dropped the ball. The first film was decent, but not really RE IMO.

-Nemesis was a joke; a big guy in a clown costume.
-The end fist fight of Nemesis versus Alice (the main lady) was a disaster. Who taught the camera man how to shoot pictures? Oh wait, that's just a 'filmmaker' technique when you don't have time to actually choreograph a fight scene; just zoom into their elbows, faces, etc so nobody can see what the hell is happening. Lame.
-The zombies weren't that bad, but there weren't too many good zombie scenes to save the rest of it.
-The female stars were worth watching, but the characters weren't that interesting IMO.
-The acting seemed decent enough.
-The story wasn't that bad.
-It's just that the movie felt really flat and shallow; I didn't care what happened by the end.
-Still, there's a lot worse out there... Anderson should've directed this one like the first one. Nevermind, they should've started with Romero's script and been on the right track from the start.

I liked it:evil:

[The Hero]

Yea i think its a decent film and i thought the fighting of alice and nemisis was decent and that the nemisis looked pretty cool but not big enough it did kinda look like a tallish fat guy but not to bad i think that its silly tho how there trying to bring the game world of resident evil into the movie world if they wanted to do that why not start from number one with the actual story from the games it would make a way better movie id of thought im a big fan of the games i completed resident evil 1 the old version with no memory card and i died right at the end but started again and did it and that has probably never been attempted and succeded lol

[Pain]

Don't get me wrong, I may like the movie but it doesn't neccesarily mean I think it is very good

[Nemesis]

Anderson made Nemesis into a big fat p*ssy.

[The Hero]

i agree but in my opinon it wasnt to bad could of been way better but they started of on the wrong foot from the start by not using the actual game plot :evil:

[Nemesis]

Yeah, I just don't like the fact that they made Resident Evil: Apocalypse into an action movie. I didn't like the first one too well either but it felt more like a "horror" movie. I also didn't like how a lot of people dual-wielded weapons. Thats cool and all, but it really does not belong in Resident Evil.

[The Hero]

yea also it is kinda annoying they use the resident evil name when the plot isnt the same but they did bring in jill and ect... but still and it is an action now never really thought about it like that:loon:

[Nemesis]

I really wish that the game's plot was used too. How do you feel about Alice? I hate Alice.

[Pain]

How do you feel about Alice?

That would be an R rated answer!:lol:

[The Hero]

shes hot just a bit flat in a certain area but somehow it works for her:)

[Nemesis]

http://www.allthingszombie.com/forums/images/smilies/laugh.gif Hmmmm...interesting views, guys.

[The Hero]

lol yes and its good to view them to :)

[darkestthicket]

well, ive seen worse, it was pretty good in my opinion. followed re:3 (the game)sorta kinda.
