What happened?

Rating: Null/10 (16 December 2002)

This film is based on the Playstation game, correct me if I'm wrong. Many films have been based on past video/console games, books, stage plays, fact-based experiences, etc. How or why is it that those concerned do not portray in the film that which is in whatever they got the idea from? Those books and games which have had films based on them have mostly failed, because the readers or players already anticipate how it will look in the movies, and then something comes along to make that image come true on screen, only to omit certain parts to the dismay of others.
***SPOILER*** Well, Resident Evil tried and failed. The story is different, the characters are different, the ending is different, in fact the only similarity is the zombies and the cerebuses, though the latter were skin and bone. We have Alice instead of Jill Valentine, no Chris Redfield, no Wesker, no storyline where the elite crew investigate Bravo Squad, find their remains and are met by zombies, where only three of them then manage to flee to a nearby mansion.
***SPOILER CONTINUES*** No huge poisonous spiders, some of whom, on explosion, release numerous little spiders that are venomous. No creepy monsters with razor-like claws, who emit a squeal when they leap. No clues, no upgrading of weapons along the way, and we have the 'licker' as the main T-Virus monster on the loose, when the licker is in RE2. Now I think they making a sequel with 'Nemesis', from RE3. There are more discrepancies, but that's enough. It's been messed up.
Despite the above, I will look out for the sequel, to see how they bring over the Nemesis. But Resident Evil, for me, gets 5 out of 10. Oh boy.
