Not bad actually

Rating: 10/10 (16 May 2005)

To me, this movie has the same strikes against it as did HP3. Movies are not literal adaptations of the source material. It really is a good movie. I love the games, but a single game can make about three movies, and nobody has the stamina or patience to sit through all that. Also copying the games to a fault would have brought in too much hackneyed cliché material.
Would I have loved to have seen Leon, Wesker, or the Redfields? Yes, but this cast didn't disappoint me in the least. Milla was awesome, and Michelle was out of sight, and nobody can tell me that that ending was not amazing.
Yes, 28 Days Later was good, but in my opinion, Resident Evil was far more chilling.
It gave the eerie feel and the tension of the games. I didn't need much more than that, and it's not as if this were supposed to be Aliens or anything. Mortal Kombat and Super Mario Bros. were nothing to rave about either. At least I can say that I got scared by this.
