Dissapointed

Rating: 2/10 (3 July 2002)

I have been a big fan of the video game in which this film is inspired so I was very excited as I entered the film room to watch the movie. And after around one hundred minutes of action (and little more) I went home very dissapointed for several reasons.
First of all, I don´t think this is a complete movie. I had the sensation that what I have just seen it was like a chapter of any T.V. serie. This film doesn´t have a complete plot or even a finish, it only puts the things in order for Resident Evil 2, something that in my opinion it´s disgusting.
Also, there is an abuse of action scenes that completely dominate the movie. The action scenes are pretty good, but I would hope to see something more of the cerebral element (as it was sometimes in the video game, especially the first version).
Finally, even the 'big bad boss' you are supposed to watch at the end of the film it´s pathetic. But of course this is connected with Resident Evil 2, when finally a really monster -Matt Adison converted in Nemesis- will come into the scene (again, this movie is only a chapter or a presentation of things to come).
So, I only would recommend this film in case you are the purest fan of the action movies and have never take care of the video game. Rest of the world should eluded it.
