Great Conversion From Video Game To Film

Rating: Null/10 (28 February 2003)

There is a lot to say about Resident Evil, it is probably the best video game to movie conversion that has ever been released. Then again there has not been to many in this genre, one such attempt was Tomb Raider and the Movie was horrible. Anyways this movie has a great story line and a original idea for the enemy in the film. Special effects were another strong point of this film(especially the laser scene). But despite all the things that Resident Evil did well on the screen there were a few weak points. One area being the cast, I believe there could have been a stronger cast constructed for the film, not that the cast for Resident Evil did a bad job but I just personally believe it could have been done better. And if your a Resident Evil video game fan which I am, I was a little angry with the fact that the movie sort of did a combination of the first and second Resident Evil Games, I personally believe that they should have made two separate movies because the games had such great story lines, but with that said Resident Evil did a great job overall and I can't wait to Resident Evil: Nemesis. - R.F. 2003
