Wow looks nothing like the games with all those lame matrix moves :no: seriously time for a RE remake... with a new main character

Agreed. RE1 was OK (I liked it a lot, actually), but it has gone downhill from there, evolving around Alice and her superpowers rather than the actual substance of the RE series: zombies and gruesome mutations.

I understand that Paul Anderson wants his wife to star in the movie but seriously, what's wrong with using the original characters? She could still play a role there.

As it's now, RE has become another Ultraviolet: hordes of enemies for Milla to kick their asses. Rinse. Repeat. After a few combat sequences you lose all interest because you know already that no matter what comes next Milla will dispatch it without a sweat.

If Alice doesn't fly already in RE4 you can bet she will in RE5 :sleep:

Annoys me how every film they bastardise all the games and mix and match what they think will look cool, i just wish they would follow the story of the films/books the Umbrella storyline was much more interesting in the books.

I'm still not sold with Miller as Chris Redfield. :no:

Indeed. I'm really not a fan of the movies, despite enjoying watching them. I wish they go back to the Umbrella storyline and make a movie on what made the RE series great - the Zombies. I agree with ichi that right now it is all about superpowers but the reason why RE was so great because you were just a normal character, and you basically had to save bullets going up against a whole horde. RE4 and RE5 changed that a bit but at its core it was still the same.

And as much as I like Ali Larter, she is not Claire Redfield, nor is Wentworth Miller Chris Redfield. The only character I did like was Sienna Guillory as Jill Valentine because I thought she did quite well, but only just. We'll see how Shawn Roberts does as Albert Wesker but moves of the moves made by him in the trailer is similar to his RE5 counterpart so I'm not really hopeful.

To me her hair is just killing it. The shorter reddish hair was better. And she's looking a lot older now. They should have made the movie a lot sooner. Hope it's good. They alluded to huge number of clones in the last movie. Wanted to see some of that.

AT least Larter has the hair (I'm ok with it ..longer hair = older).. But Miller's hair does not resemble Chris in anyway. Even Wesker looks like Wesker. lol.

What the hell is Jill doing with with Umbrella? What happened to her at the end of the 2nd movie?

We can't outright tell you what happened without spoiling certain movie & game events. But I will explain why she's there, the way she is.

You see, my good man, they've been porting "shootable" events and iconography from the game series into the film franchise since the 1st movie. Basically, copying easily identifiable elements and game "lore" (or the RE equivalent of "lore", lol), and attempting to stick them into the films. They don't make sense by themselves, but hey, when did action-survival horror movies have to follow any sense of logic?

Personally, I find it jarring, digusting, and in bad taste -- most of the stuff in the first three films I've been willing to tolerate/overlook, for the sake of being appropriately correspondent to the "Umbrella Corporation" story arcs of the first four (sequential) games. But now the writing and production teams are just cramming in events and concepts from the last 2/3(?) games, vastly unrelated to the original storylines, and glaringly apparent that it's done purely for brand recognition.

Don't get me wrong, the movie is a decent enough action/sci-fantasy flick. But if your a fan of games, and the game continuity by extension, you'll probably be more than a tad disappointed by the movie(s).

    • Subscription upon subscription... That old Xzibit Pimp my ride meme comes to mind
    • EA reached out to our reporter that mainly does gaming content and reviewed loads of other games, why would this be shocking to anyone? I admit maybe we were considered this time around because of the extra coverage UFC was getting and they wanted a broader audience for this release? IDK. I can tell you that we aren't paid to do the reviews, the fun part of it is (mostly) being able to keep what we review and giving an honest opinion on what we're reviewing.
