What can I say ? these films are either hated or loved, hated because they don't follow the RE games exactly and loved for the action sequences, effects, guns, RE game characters and purely for being a RE movie. I for one never thought RE 1 should follow the RE game exactly because it just wouldn't work. Can you imagine a movie character on his own wandering around a spooky mansion looking for keys and other various pieces of treasure, it just wouldn't work. What you get however is an all out action movie that starts briefly "granted" in the well known RE Mansion then goes underground to the high tech Umbrella Facility. Where an adventure in sues with characters that are well created enough that you care about them, especially the Alice character. In short this inst Shawshank Redemption but it is one kick ass zombie film !
