Too bad Romero didn't direct this

Rating: 6/10 (15 April 2006)

I understand George A Romero was at one point going to direct this movie. It might have turned out better, but then Land of the Dead was not what it could have been either. Milla Jovovich is a knockout, and some of the zombie attacks are kind of scary, but this movie tries to make up in stylized action what it lacks in plot. Nowhere near as lame as House of the Dead, but perhaps video games should remain games, not movies. Still, Resident Evil had a few great death scenes. I personally liked the zig-zagging laser which sliced people into bits, but I could've done without the CGI dogs. they looked like dobermans dipped in strawberry jam. Too bad Michelle Rodriguez wasn't around for Part 2.
