Not scary, but entertaining

Rating: 6/10 (26 October 2005)

Well, Paul WS Anderson said that this movie happens between the first game and the second game...OK, with that in mind, we can first thing the following. This movie, like every video game saved game, is very subjective. Is a one man vision, so this is a vision that few people will join, or few people will understand. The ones who played the video game will miss the fear of the environment into that creepy and scary house, changed for the underground laboratory, that is not very scary. There is no Tyrant, but we have a nice mutating licker that dies in a super silly way, like one of the Fallas in the typical Spanish celebration. Well, let's just say that Resident Evil is a very subjective adaptation of that famous cult-indie video game, that changes the creepy house for the weird wacky scientist laboratory. At least we have the Dobermans, Milla Jovovich kicking asses (and heads) and the PWS Anderson Direction. What do we have in the other hand? Bad special effects, too much editing and a Michelle Rodriguez that is more a guy than a woman. Now I understand why she did SWAT.
