Filme totalmente confuso e sem foco, era melhor ter planejado melhor porque mostra claramente que o filme foi corrido e jogado sem a mínima atenção do enredo.

Great film if your a fan of the games! Proper nostalgia trip for me! Yes the acting abit cheesy just like the namco cut scenes were! And yes that rocket launcher probably wasnt the safest idea ! But it was still a great film for me!

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

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.

They should had started with the Mansion, then do RE2 in the city and the Police station. Not sure why they decided to mix game stories into a single movie and i can't say i agree with that. Some characters do look like their video game personas like Chris, while others don't even resemble them at all (Leon and Jill) and these two personalities were a bit off, since Jill was a bit too psychotic in the movie, while Leon feels a rather clumsy. Claire also looks much older than what she was supposed to be. But apart from those minor issues the movie does ok job at giving fan service, which is in my opinion always good. 6.5 for me, is an ok movie that is not very memorable but entertains you while it lasts.… Expand

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...… Expand

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

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

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. 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

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

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

I was initially annoyed when I heard the news that the Resident Evil film series was going to get a reboot so soon after having dominated theater screens for about 15 years. You could hardly blame Sony Pictures and Constantin given how muchI was initially annoyed when I heard the news that the Resident Evil film series was going to get a reboot so soon after having dominated theater screens for about 15 years. You could hardly blame Sony Pictures and Constantin given how much money they made though. The one silver lining was that fans of the source material might finally get a movie with a little fidelity. It's no secret that Paul W.S. Anderson's hexalogy had almost nothing to do with the games it was supposedly based on. He might have borrowed a monster design or a name here and there, but for the most part created his own mutated beast complete with an original protagonist and everything.

Well, upon having now watched this revival of the franchise's cinematic half I can state for certain that gamers have at long last received an adaptation that actually has something to do with the stuff they've played. The heroes are all familiar faces like Leon Kennedy, Jill Valentine, and Chris Redfield while the story sees them uncovering the secrets of Spencer Mansion and, of course, surviving the outbreak in Raccoon City. Both locations found in the original two PS1 classics. It even fully embraces the property's horror roots by going heavy on the scare attempts rather than just focusing primarily on the action like its predecessors did. Unfortunately, all this faithfulness is kind of wasted given that the feature presentation itself isn't very good.

When the characters are shooting their way through the undead to try and escape their doomed town, it's alright. Things go straight down the toilet though the second someone opens their mouth, usually to utter a line of profanity, or the narrative tries to give an explanation behind the whole scenario. The writing is just so bad with the new takes on the cast turning some members of it into bumbling idiots for an intended comedic effect that feels wildly out of place, as well as there being elements that make no sense like how the entire police force is the only portion of the local population to be unaffected by the "Umbrella" pharmaceutical company's deranged experiment for some reason.

There are aspects I can praise. The set design is fantastic with a lot of interesting little details to pick out in the backgrounds. Every environment manages to capture a vibe and atmosphere that reminded me of what terrifying Playstation gems I have managed to play, such as the first Silent Hill, and watching the survivors battle groups of great looking zombies in their cramped interiors can be genuinely tense as Johannes Roberts has a knack for crafting unsettling scenarios. The score is also fantastic. It's got some serious issues with the plotting and dialogue however, and they're enough to derail the entire experience.

Perhaps this will go over better with someone who has a greater appreciation for the works that inspired it. Personally, I've only ever touched the 5th, 6th, and Revelations spin-off titles so I'm sure the majority of the Easter Eggs and parts recreated onscreen missed their intended mark with me. Still, even if you do manage to pick up on everything that doesn't change the fact that it's largely cheap fan service in lieu of legitimate quality. Not saying that isn't enough to provide a good time, but in my mind it can't save this from somehow being the worst Resident Evil flick. I'd be down to attend a sequel regardless.… Expand

Now with only 4 years apart we have a reboot that tries to be more faithful to the source material and it shows, but splashes the good details with an unsuccessful execution, turbulent action and sloppy storytelling.

The merit that at the same time becomes a disadvantage is that Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, pretends to offer fan service instead of creating a true horror film that can stand on its own, and above all separate itself from the shadow of the video game.

You can be part of a franchise and still have your own identity, but while the director goes about giving little easter eggs that will only satisfy people who recognize them, he forgot to create a film that actually deserves to be seen for its best elements, instead of trying to sell itself with the poor and basic components of what it ultimately attempts.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I apologize in advance if it sounds like an incoherent rant, I just need to get this out of my system~

I'm on the fence about this one because as a die-hard fan of Resident Evil, I was really looking forward to a movie that followed the games entirely. Honestly, a few reviews are about the actors they chose but I actually grew to love the actors for Jill and Leon. The biggest problem for me was how much they changed in order to fill 2 games into 1 movie. They glossed over multiple things such as Jill's background and they switched the role of "Greatest Lockpicker" to Claire instead of Jill, which didn't make much sense. The Spencer Mansion seemed dumbed down, which I can understand since it's huge in the game, but it still would've been nice to see it in all its glory. Also, the fact they just waltzed into it was quite disappointing since the chase, in the beginning, is what gets you excited to play the game (or in this case, watch the movie). And who the hell said, "Let's replace Barry with Richard"? Richard isn't even on the Alpha team and they didn't bother adding the Bravo team into the movie, presumably because it wasn't in the budget to find an actor for Rebecca, or they just couldn't find room for her in the story. I'd also guess the reason they didn't add Barry is that Wesker didn't manipulate him into being a good little soldier because they didn't even bother adding the whole "Wesker is evil and selfish and he also the ex-partner of Dr. Birkin" which was probably the thing that pissed me off the most. Also, who decided to make this a love story between Wesker and Jill??? I thought we all agreed that Wesker's heart is cold and dark and he is incapable of love so why was this even a thing. They even had the audacity to make Leon look like an idiot. This whole movie feels pointless because they joined 2 games that have months in between them. The only reason Claire goes to Raccoon City in RE2 is to find Chris after the events of RE1. This might've completely ruined the chances for a Code Veronica movie, which is one I want to see more than anything. Another thing is Annette seems oblivious to Williams's work like what?? Girl aren't you also an Umbrella Researcher, how tf are you in the dark on this. I'm also confused about Claire and Chris's backstory. I know it was never really confirmed how their parents died and what happened to them afterward until they grew up but like Umbrella Orphanage? Really? How canon is that? It may sound dumb, but I want everything in the movie to be exactly the same and it's sort of uncomfortable having new information come out that isn't from the mouth of Shinji Mikami. Lastly, it hurts to see Chris and Claire literally hate each other but whatever. Let this be a warning to all you RE fans, you might be disappointed but you might enjoy it. Overall, I had a blast watching it and pointing out the easter eggs but as always, there was things they could improve on.

I'm unsure if it's true or not but I heard they only made this movie to keep the rights to Resident Evil which, if it's true, makes me furious. We deserve a team of people who actually give a sh*t about the games and strive to make a movie we can all enjoy.… 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

Rhm_89Nov 26, 2021

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There's some good stuff here if you are willing to overlook the butchering of lore and characters. For example Chief Irons is coward (pretty much his only bad trait) in this, funny but absolutely nothing like his character. I will go through "some" lore differences real quick and the characters:

Chris Redfield: He doesn't really act like Chris, he doesn't believe Claire at all which later prompts William Birkin to call him dumb and her smart. He also is very childish having a back and forth shhhh with Claire, he not Wesker in this leads the unnamed Team (Team Bravo seems only to consist of Marini and Dewey here with Richard with the "Alpha" team we know minus Barry). He has some good moments but runs and tries to take on William Birkin but instead gets saved by Claire in mere seconds (Claire saving people tends to be a running theme). Here instead of being born and raised in New York, and taking care of Claire like in the books he with Claire was born and raised in Racoon City and after their parents died lived at the Orphanage there headed by William Birkin. Later Claire escapes and Chris basically gets raised and put to school and Airforce by Birkin and Umbrella, a stark change. He also has a thing for Jill in this which in the games is never shown beyond being a partner.

Claire Redfield: Here she meets Lisa at the Orphanage briefly and then escapes it leaving Chris behind for 5 yrs, this means that Claire has not in this learned her skills from Chris but just mysteriously happens to have learned on her own to the point she knows more than new but actually professionally trained rookie transfer Leon about weapons. She seems to act older than Chris and much smarter in this. Despite barely knowing or seeing Lisa somehow they formed a bond by Claire just seeing her and asking her name just to read it off the arm band. She's also to nonchalant in this. For example when the Re2 trucker hits what they think is a person (a zombie who just disappears for the rest of the movie) she just gets out says lets wrap up the body and have my police officer brother help. After the body disappears there's just a brief nonchalant comments about it. This seems very contrary to her Re2 motherly persona. Her character is fine other than this except when she basically is in to much in the forefront. Instead of looking for Chris due to losing contact with him after the Spencer Mansion incident and thus looking for him, she just disappeared after escaping the Orphanage for 5 yrs and decides to visit him to show him info for some reason Ben Bertolucci decides to give to her. In which Chris doesn't believe her and basically gives her money, tells her he is going to work, not to mess his bike up and get out. Weird.

Leon S. Kennedy: Worst character in this. His backstory is completely rewritten almost entirely. He's not actually a brand new rookie recruit, he's actually a new "transfer" who accidentally shot his partner in the butt in his previous precint. His dad is also a hot shot cop. This seems to be why he is a cop instead of the incidents of the murders in the Arklay Mountain's giving him motivation due to a strong sense of Justice to join the force. Unlike this movie Leon was seen as an intelligent and gifted rookie. His training officers being none other than Rita and Kevin Ryman from Resident Evil Outbreak. Rita who assisted Marvin to help save the people of the RPD and Kevin being a main character and exceptional Marksman who took a pivotal role in the events on the frontlines. Leon in this movie gets saved multiple times and doesn't really do anything until the very end via one rocket Launcher. Claire has to save and carry him twice. Claire also has to help him learn how to use the shotgun, and he gets tricked and basically blackmailed easily by a jailed Ben Bertolucci.

Wesker: Wesker doesn't look anything like his counterpart, never gets his glasses, doesn't lead Team Alpha, plays around with the others like a typical team member. Has not worked for Umbrella and though contacted by a rich group to take information in the Spencer Mansion for a high price doesn't know that group either. He also doesn't seem to have any connections whatseover with the Wesker experiments nor does he even know William Birkin. Like the other's carries their characters title in name only. After betraying his group by leaving them behind to get the virus from Birkin, he shoots Birkin and Annette. Gets shot by Jill over Sherry and dies regretting things after making a joke.

Jill Valentine: She doesn't look anything like Jill and she really doesn't have much of a personality. She's just shown being incredible in marksmanship, has a thing for Wesker stated (which is completely contrary to her game character btw) and pretty much bland. She does go a tad overboard in things but besides that not much to say.

Overall it was meh, as long as you don't take it seriously have expectations it would be faithful it can pass the time I guess.… Expand

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

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"!… 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

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

A cheap mess. Makes me wish Paul W.S. Anderson was still charge. The casting of some characters is just ridiculous. They look nothing like the characters we know and love so it’s really jarring. I doubt there’ll be a sequel.

Pretty good actually. Lots of visual references to the OG Resident Evil game. Piano puzzles, Jill sandwiches, Zombie Dobermanns, and Rocket Launchers too!

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. 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

It is time to stop giving shows like this a chance. No attempt at characterisation? Check. Typical box-ticking cast? Check. Cheesy 90s vibe? Check. Stop giving things like this a chance.

“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.

Yeah, there's issues with this, lots of changes to the original plot, but it looks fun.
It's not just look worst even worst than I expected, what a way to destroy a perfect game again

The director has made a lot of changes in the story of the movie and has connected the trilogy of the main game that old fans may be disappointed with.

it's just an other example of 'if you want to see a decent video game movie, go watch the fan movies on youtube'. i mean they're at least made by the fans of the series and have a lot more love and care put into them. when going through thisit's just an other example of 'if you want to see a decent video game movie, go watch the fan movies on youtube'. i mean they're at least made by the fans of the series and have a lot more love and care put into them. when going through this movie it was even difficult to keep up with which actor was playing which RE character, everything was put in a jumbled up incoherent mess and so it was even hard to keep up with the chronological order these sequences were put in. you think it's gonna start at resident evil 1 but then it cuts to the truck driver and you think 'oh, res evil 2 then?'. just know there are better movies out there… Expand
