Milla Jovovich good, movie bad.

Rating: 2/10 (17 March 2002)

Wow, this film was bad. I mean, the best part was watching Milla Jovovich!! She looked good and hid her accent well. This performance on her part was fine and she shows good moves (way better than that pile of dribble called TOMB RAIDER). The movie starts off ok with a cool shot of where the scientists work in "the hive". Then something goes wrong and the computer locks down the lab and kills everybody. Then, a SWAT team shows up lead by some man who looks like the CANDYMAN. There's a scene where some laser beams slice some of that team. That was a rip off from the Cell. Then suddenly all these makeshift Zombies show up after five hours of being dead! It was Alien's meets Return of the Living Dead (especially since The Candyman is in it) with a little bit of OUTBREAK thrown in. What you get when you mix those three together is a movie that appeals to only little kids with candy. In fact, I was embarassed because I was the only adult in the movie theater! I wanted to see that hispanic girl DIE the entire time. I also wanted for Milla Jovovich to have more speaking parts. Milla Jovovich is one of the best actresses of our generation. I hope that Milla Jovovich learns that she can do more than just these sell out movies. Ugg. And what's the deal with that stupid Red Queen? As if any artificial intelligence (another stupid movie) could be all nice and then start screaming "KILL HER! KILL HER NOW!" Many things were wrong with this movie. Shame on you Milla Jovovich. I will give you another chance though because you're the best looking actress since Andie McDowll. I rate this movie a 2.
