“A movie for the fans.” “A faithful adaptation.” C’mon, don’t make me laugh. This garbage is an insult to any fan of the franchise. Only twitter would praise this.

Weird choice for Leon....and Jill... overall just not that I wanted. I felt betrayed as a fan with a bit of the pandering...why can they just do justice and make the movie based on the events of one single game as well I didn't like this film at all.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Even a mediocre Resident Evil script would be ok with me. I'd love to keep this franchise going, but this script was terrible. There was no character development. In fact, the viewer doesn't care about any of the cast to be honest. The writers were lazy and uninspired. The director cast the whole movie in the dark and/or rain. It was pretty much just people running around with guns. If you want to see anything about the Umbrella Corporation then this movie is not for you. At the start of the movie, most of the cast has to take a helicopter to a residence in the woods - a helicopter. However, there is also a secret passage from town to the same residence. Huh? Lazy. So lazy. There's a bumbling cop. The big bad is boring and a bit pointless. There's a woman you never really care about who is not a cop who can apparently pick any lock, fire any gun and ride any motorcycle. The entire story was weak, unimaginative and dull. You can't keep making movies like this Resident Evil ! Sigh. Pass on this one.… Expand

-Misused Easter Eggs
-2 events crammed into one

So many things wrong with this movie. There's NO WAY that the director is a fan of the games. No possible way. This was unspeakably, shockingly bad. They couldn't just split up the 1st.and 2nd games into 2 different movies?

Overall it was a waste of time and money to go see. Play the 1st 2 games remake or originals if you want a better experience. This makes me appreciate the 1st 2 Paul WS Anderson movies, and that's saying something. Also, I've been a fan since '97 and still can't figure out how they keep making the same mistakes making the movies.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you're like me, a big fan of the games and CGI movies. You love and respect the lore and source material. You would expect a film based on the games it would not be a 1:1 recreation but at the very least mostly resembling them. That's not the case in Welcome To Raccoon City. The film takes games 1 and 2 (remake). Mostly 2 with a 10 minute pinch of 1 and smashes them together to create an poor original story with elements and moments from the games. Many characters are not even present. No Enrico, Rebecca, (only 1 member of Bravo they come accross is Kenneth, because of course they needed an iconic game moment with the turning zombie) Not to mention Bravo apparently took an SUV to the mansion and not a helicopter. Marvin Brana, Hunk and umbrella forces, and Tyrant. And no chance for characters such as Carlos, Nikolai, Mihkail, and enemies such as Nemesis. Since they forwent anything to do with RE3. Brad Vickers also dies at Spencer mansion afte crashing the chopper into the mansion after being bitten and turning. Wesker kills his zombified self. Then characters who are present are nothing like there video game characters. In appreance anf personality. For example, Chief Irons is a good guy and not a maniac. He becomes best friends with and Claire and Leon and attempts to escape RPD with them Then is killed by a Licker of all things.

Leon is a complete bumbling idiot who needs Claire to save him throughout. His origin is he only got on the force because of his dad, and gets scorned by a fellow rpd officer for shooting his partner in the ass. Wesker is also a "good guy" who doesn't even betray Chris and Jill. The lab/nest is undoubtedly the worst scene. Now Wesker and Birkin have never met. Completely ignoring the game lore, they both started at Umbrella both very young and were co-workers. Wesker then shoots Birkin and then he injects himself with the G-virus. Then Wesker kills Annette. Sherry then grabs Annettes gun, and Wesker and Sherry are aiming at eachother. (Who has no pivitol role in the movie at all, she's just there to tag a long) Moments later everyone else swoops in and Jill shoots Wesker, then runs to his aide and proceeds to give the worst acting performance ever before he dies. Birkin only reaches stage 2 mutation before Leon kills him with a Rocket Launcher he "found in 1st class" as he puts it. Ada Wong who's MIA the whole movie. Appears in a mid credits scene with a now resurrected Wesker, where it's Ada who gives Wesker his trademark sunglasse! They also took an idea from the Paul Anderson movie. Resident Evil: Apocalypse. Umbrella seals off Raccoon City and nukes it at the end. Same thing here as well. The solider "stating raccoon city locked down" while sporting an umbrella patch on his shoulder. Whereas in the game world. It's the US government that seals off Raccoon City and destroys it with a nuke. So much lore and source material was there to work off of was not even acknowledged The characters in the movie look and act nothing like the video game counterparts they are trying to portray. The story is all over the place, and is rushed through to get everything and everyone they could in 1hr30m.… Expand

Это набор клишированных популярных обрывков из нескольких частей игр, сваленных друг на друга в кучу, которые помимо того, что отвратительно поставлены так ещё и омерзительно сыграны, хотя дело тут не столько в самой игре этих актёров (которые, судя по всему, ни сном ни духом о том, что такое RE), а в том, какие характеры они показывают. Чего стоит один только инвертированный "Леон", который мало того, что выглядит полной противоположностью того, каким он был ВСЕГДА, так он ещё и ведёт себя абсолютно противоположно! Это дёрганая, зашуганная инфантильная истеричка, не способная принять ни одного решения, которая постоянно пыхтит, кряхтит и чуть ли не плачет! Ладно ещё Клэр - она хотя бы отдалённо похожа на Клэр из Revelations 2, хотя характером она абсолютно никакая, примерно как Бэлла из "Сумерек". Но это мы опустим - я не привыкла хвалить что-либо за то, что оно хоть чуть-чуть соответствует ожиданиям. Такое в плюсы не записывают.
Вообще почти все персонажи не вызывают никаких ассоциаций с теми, на кого они должны были быть похожими, а ведь мы ясно видим, что создатели этого выкидыша пытались сыграть на стандартных для серии RE триггерах и наиболее запоминающихся моментах из игр и их сюжетных линий. Нет, это отнюдь не переосмысление и не какой-то альтернативный подход. Я искренне не понимаю, на что рассчитывали создатели этого богомерзкого подобия фильма, но по итогу он не подходит никому: ни любителям "классического канона", ни тем, кто любит какие-либо нововведения и "свежие решения". Просто потому, что никто из нас не является кинокопрофилом.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. ***Spoiler Alert*** If you go into this movie not knowing anything about Resident Evil then this is a decent movie. Has a creepy atmosphere with some good scares. If you are a fan of Resident Evil then you will probably like all of the easter eggs throughout the film while hating it at the same time. You will hate how they have completely butchered the story and characters. Pretty much massacred all the character and storylines. Not sure if Johannes Roberts that wrote the screenplay had ever played the games or read the books. It feels like he lost the cliff notes for most of the story and filled in himself. Then he decided to put all of the characters abilities and attributes into a hat and draw them out randomly to put with which ever character he was writing for at that moment. Most of the characters have been rewritten to be the complete opposite of their game characters. Bravo team is now just two regular looking cops in a truck instead of a team in a helicopter. Barry Burton has once again been screwed and left out of the movie. That might actually be a good thing. God only knows how they would have written him in. Probably as an old skinny janitor with a drinking problem. Not sure how Richard Aiken made it onto Alpha Team, let alone in the movie. There is also no mention of all of the murders that lead them to investigate the Spencer mansion. The outbreak is now from a spill into the water system and not from the infected turning the entire town. I really wanted this movie to be good after the last series crazy storylines. There is to much story from the first two games to put into one movie. The mansion storyline deserved its own 2 hour movie at least. They did keep the iconic S.T.A.R.S. Beretta pistols from Kendo's gun shop in the movie. But should have been seen more with better close ups. So here are some of my issues with some of the characters.
Wesker is now great friends with his small team and has nothing to do with Umbrella or Dr. Birkin. He's just a cop being paid to steal stuff. He is just trying to escape the dying town.
Chris and Claire Redfield now hate each other and don't get along. Claire now has the ability to pick locks. She shows up to Raccoon City to warn Chris of a possible issue instead of coming from college to check on him. Chris is in love with Jill Valentine who he apparently now grew up with. Chris can at least still shoot good. No mention of military background. Jill Valentine is now just friends with all of the guys because I guess she grew up with them now. She is also in love with Wesker. No mention of her background or dad as a thief. Vickers isn't really shown as being a coward. Just someone escaping an attack. No mention of him being chicken heart Vickers. Chief Irons is shown to know something about Umbrella, but not much. Also, more of a coward than being a complete monster. Leon S. Kennedy. What in the world happened there. Let's just make him a completely useless character who gets saved by his rich daddy when he screws things up. They slaughtered his character and storyline. Made you want him to die to keep his character out of this movie. Lisa Trevor is no longer bad. She is just a lonely monster who is being helpful. So, if you're not a Resident Evil fan and just want something entertaining then ignore my review. If you're a fan of Resident Evil then consider your self-warned.… Expand

But I'm not so particular or purist that an adaptation has to be 1:1 from its source material; obviously some things have to be trimmed and reworked for flow and budgetary restrictions. I get this.

But this movie confused me.

On one hand, there were some things that had exquisite attention paid to the little details: Claire's outfit, for instance, is adapted right from the RE2 remake down to the little feather necklace she wears. The Raccoon City PD building was identical to the game. But these lovely little details are overshadowed by some of the most BAFFLING choices made by the filmmakers. Choices like making Chris and Claire have a personal history with William Birkin, reducing Leon to incompetent comic relief.

And how can I forget the fact that they had the first and second games occurring concurrently? I had hoped that the mansion scenes would play out before the scenes with Claire and Leon for some semblance of chronological order, but instead they literally just mashed the plot (SOME of the plot) from the first two games together. I do not understand this bizarre attempt at combining RE1 and RE2. Why not adapt the first game to film as best as you can, and then adapt the second later- you can even combine it with RE3 since they take place within a few days of each other! This had a lot of potential, but these little Easter eggs and references to the games actually highlight how badly the film is put together: "Yes, we know all these details about the game, and yet we STILL chose to have it play out on screen this way."

Not great.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Executive producer: Paul W.S Anderson...... That's what made me the angriest. I have a resident evil tattoo, I am in Healthcare and even researched COVID, resident evil formed my life since I played it as a kid.

They had one job. They completely dropped the ball. I have no problem with Chris,Wesker and Jill's and chief irons casting or acting,they were the best part. Leon was completely miscasted and written like an incompetent idiot. What I have a problem with is that this movie is nothing but easter eggs and they ruined the jump scares by putting everything on the trailer. They tried to put 1 and 2 together, which if they had competent writers, could have worked. This is a SCI FI channel movie or direct to TV. The CGIbis horrible,I dont understand how sony and capcom could be proud of this movie. Fans will hate this movie, and random people are going to be completely lost. Based on their previous seriesz their budget should have been way more than 25 million after the crap that anderson and milla gave us.

I give it a 2 just because some of the easter eggs were dope, but the pacing is horrible, this is badly written, executed poorly, whoever marketed this should be fired. I swear to God if they mash RE3 with RE4 or code veronica I wouldn't be surprised because this director thinks he is a genius.

I get you maybe want to save tyrant for another movie but you literally had 3 monsters. No Yawn, No spiders, no sharks, no barry, no legit air force background for Chris.

They should have had a tyrant in birkins room, sherry shoot at wesker, but accidently hits the tyrant tank, annette isn't immediately killed so she could give exposition, william infects himself and shoots something to infect sherry. Annette should have been given the opportunity to tell everyone about the vaccine and that would have explained how STARS can't get infected and can be bit, except Leon or something, and the vaccine is deeper in the lab for G. Shouldd have had Leon, Claire and Sherry go into the lab and introduce Ada, while Chris and Jill are chased by the tyrant trying to get the train running. I literally just made the move another 40 minutes longer that would have made the movie a 6-7 for me.… Expand

That being said knowing how cheesy and awful the OG series of movies were I went into this with extremely tempered expectations, and Oh Boy was that a good idea! The film is super cheap and times almost appearing as if it was a college film. The actual game was like that so I could forgive that, but the **** dialogue in this thing is mental cancer. They changed every single character inside and out (Besides Chris kind of), and even a lot of the story to make all three plus games barely fit into one film. There's such a tonal unawareness to the whole thing that I was genuinely upset to how anything was even unfolding. It's not a horror movie at all, which might be the real killing blow to the whole thing. Half the time it's cheesy teenage drama comedy which really doesn't work. It's not worth the cost to watch and certainly not worth the brain power to view. If you have to see it wait till it comes out for free on whatever streaming service you have, cause I doubt this one will even be available to rent.… Expand

Not enough budget to realize this story. Poor script with no character development. Badly directed. The pacing was weird…. It was boring for the first half with way too much setup, then they crammed the mansion incident and police station all into the back half of the film and neither was fully satisfying. It was just amateurish from start to finish. I have a lot of bad things to say about this movie. I was open to a campy good time but what we have here is not even interesting. The original Resident Evil movie, while frustratingly nothing like RE1 the game, is a much better film. Something that sticks out in my recollection was the poor characterization of Leon. Leon was always portrayed as a stars in the eyes rookie but noble and heroic. Here he is portrayed as an imbecile with frayed nerves and little self confidence. Not sure why this choice was made. You can still have the character arc from inexperienced rookie to seasoned bad ass without having the character start out this weak. This feels like a fan project…but fans would never do this; fans would do a more literal retelling of the stories and include a character like Ada Wong who adds a lot of intrigue to the story. And not cut everything creepy to do with Chief Irons. And not cut Tyrant and Mr. X. And the Lab sections of both games. They basically cut all the interesting stuff. This is a really really bad movie and it sucks because we’re probably not gonna see them try this again. Thank god for Resident Evil 2 Remake that shows us how this sort of thing can be done right. In fact I’ll go play it right now. Skip this movie, even for fans.… Expand

The Paul Anderson "excuse to cast my wife" movies were pretty bad but at least had arguably accurate casting and production value. This one trades that for woke-quota casting and a budget so low you'd be forgiven for mistaking it for a YouTube fan film. On top of that they tried jamming two games into a single movie that actually occur many months apart and totally disrespected the source material by making massive and unnecessary changes to the story and characters. Literally the only thing I can say good about it is that they did faithfully recreate some of the sets but with the amount of disrespect they showed the source material in virtually every other aspect earns this movie a giant rotten zero from me. I hope that this thing flops hard enough to kill any potential sequel and that if Resident Evil is ever adapted into a film in the future that it is done faithfully by someone who actually understands and appreciates the games.… Expand

1) They all overplaying, that sucks
2) They not playing their characters like in the original game. (But Director said they will be like in game. XD)
3) They acting without logical thinking.
Second of all: Screamers
SO MUCH SCREAMERS. Yeah Music in this movie is great, but only screamers? Seriously?
Thirdly: So much things left without attention from the game, for example S.T.A.R., or Tyran. :C
And this n-word peoples, yeah I know that BLM and that things but it sucks without logical and artistical point.
But movie has plusses too.(This is why my rating is 3)
Music: Yeah it's cool but not realized for full
Locations: Most of them made exactly like in game, and it's cool
Zombies: Look and act naturally (If they were in real life)
So, if u don't know original game series, this will be nice for once. But if u know, I advising to not waste ur time in there.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Poor casting choices for Leon and Jill, and recreated scenery from Resident Evil 2 & 3 "Remakes", lastly... it drags on pointlessly slow with tons of filler garbage, and the writers, director and production crew clearly have not played the original trilogy + Code Veronica. Resident Evil 1 is supposed to take place BEFORE Resident Evil 2 & 3 (which 2 & 3 happen at the same time as each other), it then has random instances where Lisa kills the RPD Licker, The RPD Licker kills Chief Irons, Wesker is supposedly a "good guy" that was forced to steal the G-Virus, and kills Birkin and Annette, alludes to Code Veronica slightly, Sherry is almost non-existent and does not get infected (even though the story of her infection is disturbing and would make the film restricted/not rated anyway), no Mr. X, and no Tyrant.

How can you overlook something so crucial to the canonical timeline, let alone screw up all of the events of FOUR video games?
These people that wrote this film have NEVER played a Resident Evil game.

In closing, Resident Evil & Resident Evil: Apocalypse are superior films, watch those instead and forget that this poor excuse for a "Resident Evil film" exists, and a message to the director and writers - YOU WASTED $25 MILLION DOLLARS ON THIS GARBAGE. WELL DONE TAX WRITE-OFF!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie both insults your intelligence and the Resident Evil series, all while wasting quality set design and cinematography. This movie will please no one and at the same time waste credible talent.

This is basically the standard Hollywood "video game movie" of the Resident Evil remakes which have met with tremendous success over the last 5 years. To say it's lazy is a massive understatement, this pretty much is just cashing in on that success. There are references and nods to the originals forced in with little or no thought from the "Jill sandwich" in the diner to the RE2 keys in the orphanage. While the old RE movies took the games and threw them out of the window, this movie has clearly done the research but just doesn't care to do anything interesting at all with it. To say it's "faithful" is just a massive **** you to the intelligence of the viewer and the fan. It isn't. That's why more than anything this movie, and the director DESERVE the **** reviews. It's incredibly unfortunate that real work went into this movie.

A lot of the changes are just the standard leftist revisionism. Every white male character must be a douchebag, incompetent or a bumbling buffoon. Every female character must be a flawless badass. Very standard character beats for the typical "woke" movie. If that's all you need to know then you can rest assured you're missing absolutely nothing else and can continue with your search for something decent to watch.

The CGI is incredibly, incredibly bad. I watched an interview with the director where someone remarked that the RE mansion would be great on film. How ironic for it to be arguably the most butchered thing in the movie. When they first walk into the mansion it is JARRINGLY terrible CGI. Why they thought they would do that in CGI is beyond me. They immediately switch to a physical set afterwards which is just baffling. Another scene with the RPD reception is as bad. I can only reason this movie went through complete production hell.

What's so annoying is the set design, cinematography, and shot composition are all amazing largely thanks to some John Carpenter fans working on this. I can only imagine those poor souls had to fight tooth and nail for this not to be a complete disaster for all involved. If the entire movie had been CGI, you wouldn't have been able to release it.

At the same time they are battling a director hell bent on turning it into an action movie.

The director has no idea how to use horror or imagery. It's all just gawky terrible jump scares with imagery/references from RE thrown in for good measure. 90s nostalgia music and the Moonlight Sonata are just wielded arbitrarily instead of really used to invoke terror or dread. The turning of the zombie head, the cliché hand on the helicopter window. All played for horror but due to a complete lack of understanding of how to invoke the chill terror it all falls flat. So he just falls back on what every hack knows, jump scares.

This movie is as if Ghost of Mars and Resident Evil made a twisted love child, except Ghost of Mars didn't rip off a video game series, **** all over it then tell us to suck it down.

Here's a brief character rundown for those interested:

Wesker - The dickhead, zero mystique. nothing like the original tbh.
Jill - Complete character redesign, woke-washed to be half-black now I guess. Basically a new character that happens to have the same name. Randomly involved with Wesker I think, movie really wasn't clear on this.
Claire - Terrible casting, terrible execution. Claire is basically an upbeat character in the originals instead of some sulky burned out 29 year old actress. The actress has no idea how to play the character which is a shame because there is now an abundance of actresses that have voiced and played her who would probably do more justice to the role.
Leon - Suddenly Indian. Incompetent right up until the final scene since all men must be incompetent because feminism. A potentially good actor ****ed over by a ****ty role.
Chris - Good guy but pretty much the naïve fool seemingly, probably the most well cast. Sells the fact that he is a cop far more than the others but is just desperately trying to deal with a script and story that is fighting him. Some of the lines he is given are the worst I've heard.

Wardrobe is awful. Fire whoever did that half assed job. Chris and Leon look great, the rest are just awful. Why put so much effort into the cop uniforms only for half the ****ing cast to not wear them. It's the 90s and they're wearing tac vests you might use in airsoft.

There is a complete lack of cohesive vision here. The RE2 remake fundamentally understood how to reinvent something while being respectful. This is just a bad director going "hey Capcom, let me copy your homework".… Expand

Ужасный ремейк. Ни один персонаж на себя не похож. Больше похоже на творение студии Asylum.

Just watched this dumpster fire last night. The Easter eggs were a cool idea. But if you are a fan of Resident Evil in any way avoid this movie like the plague. I made an account to review this movie it was that bad.

This movie is so unenjoyable because it tries to unload so much, because it ruins every character by stripping away what made them so good in the games, and because ultimately it shows itself for what it truly is - A lifeless, low-budget reboot.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I hated this movie by the end. If you are not a fan then it is probably a serviceable zombie flick but as a fan this is actually even worse the the original movie. It manages to mix together elements of the first two games but does so in the most unsatisfying of ways possible. Also where the Hell was Barry Burton? Why did you make Leon a bumbling idiot who spends most of the movie being insulted by everyone he meets, dropping his weapon and being the opposite of a badass at every turn? Why Make Wesker be working for someone other then Umbrella but still a traitor and then try to make him sympathetic at the end. Why is Umbrella leaving and the city essentially empty other then for the budget. No carnage on the streets, no desperate struggle for survival in a destroyed city. Leon is literally the only cop in the police station at one point. The outbreak doesn't kick in to full gear until halfway through. Yes we visit the spencer mansion and yes they recreate a few iconic shots but it is all hollow and empty. They go out of their way to use elements from the games but in nearly every case change things to make them worse. And no the movie doesn't get points just for recreating iconic locations. We spend time in RPD but its just an empty building it hasn't been used by survivors as a last ditch effort to survive its not wrecked and bored up and full of zombies it is an empty building with one cop in it and when the zombies finally show up outside and break in the characters just leave. In all honest I though I could enjoy this movie but I think I hate it. it is just close enough to the games to really feel like massive wasted potential that squanders every opportunity to be what fans wanted. Most of the characters don't feel like the people they are supposed to be it adds a whole load of unnecessary backstory that ends up adding nothing. I mean we get Burkin getting shot to pieces and mutating but again in a completely unsatisfying way. Why couldn't it have happened the way it does in the game what was wrong with that? Also his wife is an idiot who gets herself killed for no reason.… Expand

We're you expecting a higher score ? Play the games, don't bother with this. Even monster hunter was better and that's awful. However it scores one as doom is and has to be anchored to the bottom rung.

A joke of a movie. How is it possible to make this trash when you have all that awesome source-material? Not scary, no good acting, terrible cgi and the story is way to compressed...

Ce navet se traîne d’ailleurs comme une limace à la manière d’un téléfilm qui cherche à meubler tant qu’il peut (sauf qui peut, c’est la grande braderie du meuble !) avec évidemment de la merde, des dailogues affligeants et de rares scènes d’action qui puent du fion.

Les comédiens et comédiennes ont été choisi(es) n’importe comment, sans aucun égard, sans la moindre volonté de fidélité ou de cohérence et ont donc l’air à la fois con et perdu. On se sent aussi perdu en tant que spectateur égaré dans cette galère et on abrège le temps (perdu) avec des accélérés à la télécommande… puis un arrêt pur et simple de cet étron inexpugnable !… Expand

It was an insanely stupid movie franchise and did not understand its source material at all. Deep down, I haveI sort of enjoyed the Resident Evil live-action movies from Paul W.S. Anderson but admit that it went off the rails completely. It was an insanely stupid movie franchise and did not understand its source material at all. Deep down, I have been wanting a Resident Evil movie that was more faithful to the video games. Now it has finally happened with Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City. So does this movie do justice to the games or is it another one to add to the garbage?

The most obvious praise I can give after watching this is the set design. Clearly whoever designed the sets for this film had played the games. The Spencer Mansion, the R.P.D station and Raccoon City look exactly like they were pulled from the game. Additionally, there is a great scene in the mansion where Chris is getting attacked by a horde of zombies. It was the tensest moment in the film as Chris was struggling to survive. It was also quite stylistic as Chris, and the audience, the only light source was the gun muzzle and it looked cool.

Unfortunately, this is where the praise ends. For some stupid reason, the director decided to mash together both the stories of Resident Evil 1 and 2 together. The movie has a short runtime yet the director somehow thought it would be great to do 2 full-length games stories in one. This is very noticeable in the second half where the pacing is atrociously fast in wrapping up everything. Character development is rushed, the story is rushed and even the action felt rushed. The final fight, aka the boss battle, ends in like 2 minutes with little fanfare. It was so anti-climatic that I thought the boss would be revealed to not be dead but it actually was. What annoys me the most is how this film still managed to be unfaithful to the source material. Claire and Chris have a damaged relationship, Jill is very trigger-happy, Wesker is a whiny loser and Leon is an absolute moron. None of the characters in the film even act like their game counterparts which are just insulting. They also remove Barry, Rebecca and Ada involvement in the plot which sucks. Barry's blackmail plot was an interesting element in RE1 and Ada's relationship with Leon was a highlight of the franchise. Some iconic enemies are not even in the film such as the Tyrant or Mr X which is just another gut punch. They also completely removed the Claire and Sherry relationship which is lame considering that Sherry is still in the film. They do bring Lisa Trevor but they change her completely from the games just to be a plot convenience. The actors' performance also feels incredibly phoned in and lacking in any depth. Wesker and Leon are also completely miscast as they do not even remotely look or feel like the characters from the game. It baffles me that the director went with Tom Hopper as Wesker and Avan Jogia as Leon. It clearly shows a lack of understanding of the games from the director. The writing is also atrociously bad. None of the characters ever speak like normal human beings and none of the dialogue makes them likeable either. Overall, what a complete let-down and an insult to Resident Evil fans. The writer had no understanding of the games and the director is an idiot for allowing this monstrosity. This movie actually ended up making me appreciate the Paul W.S. Anderson movies more. It is such a shame as Resident Evil 1 would have worked on its own as a movie. There was no need to shove 2 games into 1 movie. I don't understand any of the choices made by the director but I hope he never touches another franchise again. It seems we have another live-action Resident Evil movie to add to the garbage. I don't know if we will get another live-action Resident Evil movie because of how bad this one is. However, if we do get one, hopefully, the writer and director are actually going to be faithful instead of this liar, Johannes Roberts...… Expand
