Superbly well done cinematic achievment.RESIDENT EVIL gets a ****/***** stars!

Rating: Null/10 (1 August 2002)

RESIDENT EVIL, was so much better than I expected. The movie itself was not just a horror, but a thriller/action film as well. Great combination of these traits, as well as great characters, special effects, plot development, and just plain weirdness, make RESIDENT EVIL truly one of the best horror films ever. I own the first Resident Evil game(got it used), and never got real far, because I got an XBOX around last year when it came out, but now after this movie, I think I might just play the RESIDENT EVIL game more again! The movie really does go along with game nicely. The plot and characters aren't exactly all the same, but the basics are, and it's almost that you'd expect the game came off the MOVIE, instead of vice-versa. If you want a great horror, thriller, or action movie(or all three), rent RESIDENT EVIL-I assure you that you won't be let down. 4/5 stars.
NOTE: This movie is pretty gorey, so if you don't like gore, don't get it. Then again, why would you get a horror/action movie if you don't like gore?:)
