I just decided to check it out since I’ve been a fan of the series since I was a kid, and I loved it. Sure the CGI isn’t the best and the third act is rushed but it’s a unique spin on things, I went in with a open mind and loved it, The controversy with the actors skin colour is dumb, this movie didn’t have any political undertones, and the actors that played them acted like their characters I’d say. Just Leon is a bit of a dumbass and the comic relief character wish they did more with him. But overall it’s a very interesting spin, and loved the scenes where the characters interacted and bonded. Don’t go in expecting all scenes from re1 and 2 like the puzzles or all of the bosses, it would be boring anyways watching people do puzzles and walk around for and hour and a half. Overall it’s a decent movie definitely watch if you are a major fan, it has a great atmosphere, and great soundtrack^ Expand

Not a perfect movie by any means - however, in comparison to the original Paul WS Anderson series, this film hugs fairly closely to the source material

The makeup especially the infected makeup was exceptional. The performances from Kaya Scodelario, Marina Mazepa, Hannah John-Kamen, Avan Jogia, Neal McDonough, Chad Rook, and Tom Hopper were excellent. The visual effects were pretty good specially the licker and William's infected form. The only flaw I'd say was a couple of times the writing specifically the dialogue was a little cheesy. Overall I really loved it and enjoyed it more then the original movies. Expand

Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City was very good! I enjoyed it!

Yes it is different than the video games ongoing storyline. It feels like a "What If" world in some ways. I feel like the differences are to keep long time RE fans like myself guessing. Giving us a bit of a newer journey as well as casual movie goers.

While this movie is more faithful over all compared to the Alice RE movies, it isn't an exact live action copy of the RE games. It is it's own universe. Much like Marvel movies compared to the comics they are based off of. The actors did a great job. The characters feel a little different than their video game counterparts, but they fit well in this movie version. You can still envision the characters we know and love though! There is still a lot they do and how they act that feels on point. They did pretty amazing on the environment and the music is fun.

There are a lot of easter eggs, references and attention to details through out the movie as well. Enjoyable fan service for sure!

I will say I feel like older RE fans will enjoy this movie more than casual movie goers. As we fans can pick up on the things mentioned directly above. But that is not to say casual movie goers won't enjoy it. It's fun regardless and it's a new beginning to a new universe based off the ongoing video game story we fans love. So can still be enjoyed as a brand new experience fan of the games or not.
But for fans it is nostalgia with twists.

I hope it does well and we get a sequel or maybe more. It's fun and they can do so many different things since it isn't canon to the games. A world of "What Ifs"!

I liked this actually more than the Mila J, series of films. As I was looking at RCPD building, visuals and environment I had pleasant memories surfacing of the original RE 1 game. Some casting choices were strange, I particularly didn't like the police chief and Jill Valentine, but regardless, I was able to enjoy this movie from beginning to end. I'd like to highlight the character of Effy (I know that's not your name, darling, but you'll always be Effy to me, no matter the role) She played the role of Claire Redfield very well. Some things could have been better, but all in all the singular description comes to my mind regarding the movie that it was faithfully adapted the RE1 game, that's a win in my book. Well done.

Los personajes están muy regulares, no por ni parecerse que para mí es lo de menos, sino que están más muertos que las propias criaturas, no es culpa de los actores sino del pésimo guión que se les dió, es Chris Redfield el personaje mejor logrado dentro de lo posible, los demás simpáticos por cuenta propia pero sin química en conjunto, el jefe Irons tiene la particularidad de ser el rompehielos de la cinta y para finalizar está Leon, el personaje peor logrado siendo un verdadero cretino la mayor parte de la película, pero ese momento fan service del final le brinda un poco de justicia.

William Birkin, bien implementado, pero desaprovechado. Los escenarios fueron también un aspecto muy bien logrado y los efectos especiales estuvieron bien si tomamos en cuenta que no es una película de alto presupuesto.

Nota: 6.5 de 10.

Postdata: Creo que la mayoría no entiende el concepto de adaptación, lo otro es ser directamente un copia y pega, si tanto les molesta que los personajes sean distintos, quédense con el material de origen que son los videojuegos que para eso están ahí...

However, it is a faithful transposition of the first two games of the Capcom saga, with some interesting visual flickers and some narrative license. Overall, Johannes Roberts' film lets itself be watched despite not being the most memorable of the cinematic tie-ins nor the best of the genre zombie movies: it is exactly in the middle, with the same grammar of horror and the mythology of the beloved. Capcom saga. Expand

I truly believe it followed the games a lot more than people are saying it did. There were lots of small and big intricate moments that really pieced many things together from the Resident Evil 1 & 2 games. The end credits set up the 3rd game for the sequel movie. Also, it was a lot scarier than I thought it would be, which was much appreciated. Was it perfect? No. I will say, I do wish they would have made the first movie based off of some beginning stuff and more of the first game instead of rushing to get both games in so the character's development could have been a little better. Leon needed to be better portrayed and there was an overuse of the F word in many of the characters, which was pointless and a lack of script lines. BUT, it was honestly overall a very good movie and has me very eager for the sequel Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Go in expecting familiar settings and story beats .. but it’s also a reimagining of the games, not a real telling. It’s a fun B rated zombie flick with cheesy lines, some cringe moments , and funny moments and truly iconic scenery. The acting was all pretty good given what they were going for. I enjoyed my time in the theaters with this movie TWICE so far! My only grip is I wish it was longer and some story events had more time to get fleshed out. I’d recommend for sure and will buy the blu ray when it’s released. Expand

There they tried to copy a couple of characters, they invented a couple, and then it generally looked like an author's movie about Mila, but not based on the game. For me, all the films that Paul W. S. Anderson made on Resident Evil are a completely separate look at the game, he came up with something of his own, which was watchable during the first 2 films, where something else was like at least out of the corner of his eye on games, but then he broke through the bottom and starting from the 3rd part it was incomprehensible fantasy and rare references, but had nothing to do with games. Half of the main characters became just dummy bots, heroes of the 2nd-3rd and 4th plan, which finally killed the franchise in the end, because the main character is a fictional Alice, and the locations were constantly changing and only mixed the logic of the films more, turning them more into some kind of then a series without a plot, where each part is a separate plot, like in 'Friends', but obviously not like in the film adaptation of one of the most popular games.

In the same film, almost everything corresponds to the atmosphere and plot of the game, and with minimal discrepancies, while even the fact that the appearance of the actors does not cosplay the characters is a huge plus, it makes it easier to perceive that this is a film, and not just frame-by-frame reshooting of scripted scenes between levels of the game.

I really liked the picture, special thanks for the costumes close to the game, locations and of course the incredible atmosphere, because in the original game, in the remakes - the main feature of the game has always been a creepy dark atmosphere, screamers from around the corner, etc.

Unlike what Anderson shows us, here even unenlightened people will understand the plot - since the characters partially voice it and make it clear what kind of city it is, what is happening here and what their motivation is, and not just “I am a villain”, “A I am a hero, I will save everyone.” In general, the film is not perfect, but definitely better than what was before and certainly deserves a sequel, which I would definitely like to see in the context of the game scenarios, and not incomprehensibly what “based on the game with my wife in the lead role”.

But do give props to the director trying to tie it close to the game’s universe one way or another. And owing to the fact that the reboot has a much smaller budget that the Project: Alice series, we cannot evidently say that the movie is a flop but I can wholeheartedly say that the reboot has successively done its job very impressively well.

We must also take into consideration that COVID-19 doesn’t allow for a full house due to safety measures in place but for me it was all marked seats taken on that night I went to watch; even the front row wasn’t spared.

No one should ever criticise a film just because of casting decisions or because they didn’t follow the original lore. In the end it’s up to the director to make the last say. With a small budget it’s not like he can pull off a Sonic the Hedgehog movie incident and change the character or in this case the whole cast lineup. And this will result in costly reshoots and delays.

Honestly, I had doubts before I watched the film but after it ended, I immediately made plans to watch it again on my next available day off and get the Blu-Ray on release. Yes; I enjoyed it. And no one shall tell me to say that it sucks…when they never even watched it themselves.

I felt that is a very good film. Especially compared with the other resident evil film series.

I really enjoyed it. It is not ever going to be a cultural great or cause any great political action but it's not meant to. It's the start of the zombie crazy world of resident evil and it was entertaining, light and easy to watch. The scriptI really enjoyed it.

It's the start of the zombie crazy world of resident evil and it was entertaining, light and easy to watch. The script was fairly normal and not 15 year old boy 'tuff' and it sets up more films with our favourite characters from the games in play. Don't know why it has scored so badly really but hey ho. MUCH better than any other zombie film or series in the last 10 years. Expand

It was a pretty good film, you could really tell they cared about the games too, Gill Sandwich reference made me chuckle, shame they didn't have more budget though as CGI was abit ropey.

Böyle efsanevi filmlere düşük puan vermek gibi bir salaklık moda oldu.

Фильм гораздо лучше того что наснимал Пол Андерсон, конечно есть вопросы к сюжету, но мне как фанату игровой серии он понравился. Отсылок на игру здесь тоже куча , хотя вопросы к персонажам имеются .Фильм гораздо лучше того что наснимал Пол Андерсон, конечно есть вопросы к сюжету, но мне как фанату игровой серии он понравился.

Not bad, first one without Alice though. Racoon city now has since been destroyed now. They start to find out what's underneath the city.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Resident evil welcome to Raccoon city is a pretty good film. While not completely faithful the film has some great horror moments and some Easter eggs and callbacks to the first two games. Out of all the cast I like Claire and Chris the most. I kinda feel like they dropped the ball with some of the characters. Mainly being Wesker and Leon. While Leon is entertaining he was made way too stupid in this film. Jill is still a badass . I kinda dig the changes they made with the story regarding Chris and Claire. And while the CGI isn’t great the film does give some genuine scares and has some funny moments. Expand

After all, we got with Mila Jovovich, as fans of RE for years. Even a mediocre, not that accurate adaptation is still eons better than anything that was made in the past. Racoon City has its vibe, some good scenes and a thick but too shortAfter all, we got with Mila Jovovich, as fans of RE for years. Even a mediocre, not that accurate adaptation is still eons better than anything that was made in the past. Racoon City has its vibe, some good scenes and a thick but too short atmosphere at the mansion. Overall? It's worth it for the budget it got. If you now compare the recent Netflix's "RE" Tv show - "Welcome to raccoon city" is a 10. Expand
