meh, from my perspective resident evil died the day code veronica hit store shelves, the series hit its peak in resident evil 2, so no matter how horrible the movies may be, it really doesn't sway my opinion of the game one way or another.
sure resident evil 4 was a good game, but it was a horrible RESIDENT EVIL game. It seemed to me like they had the entire game built and ready, but needed a cast of characters to help sell it, so they threw in a handful of RE characters and a quick (very quick) storyline linking them all to it.
the first movie i liked, i wont lie, I liked it because it was based WITHIN the resident evil storyline, yet not directly interfering with the games themselves, so fanboys could still enjoy it without having to ***** about all the inaccuracies.
the 2nd movie, holy sheep****. i went and saw this in the theaters with high expectations. and i walked out with a single thought. "WTF DID THEY DO TO RESIDENT EVIL 3", sure it wasn't the series strongest game, (though its mini game was pure pwnage). but they still managed to screw that up
I wouldn't have minded if it had been subtle integration of the 2 story lines, IE some major event in the game like an explosion or something scares the movie characters, or a major location in the game was visited and interacted with in some way to coincide with the game itself.
but actually having them meet and interact with one another, just completely ruined it for me.
that and jill's costume looked like ****, and the nemesis looked like a muppet XD
im going to see the third movie, probably in theaters as well. but only because of the fact that i saw the first 2 there. and id hate to think i missed the chance to (hopefully) witness the end to this skidmark of a movie.
Hopefully RE 3 can do the same >_<
