Very enjoyable

Rating: 8/10 (7 September 2002)

First off i think that the critics were very harsh on there comments of this film. Half of these so called critics probably havn't even heard of the 'Resident Evil' franchise and therefore their comments really dont have any effects to my view on the film.
Ok, so it wasnt exactly an award winning film but it still had enough ingredients to make me want to see it again, and buy it on DVD. Milla Jovovich was quite good as Alice though i did find i couldnt really bond to her as the main character to well. Michelle Rodgriguez on the other hand was very impressive as the hard-ass Rain, her performance was only marred by the harsh fact that she probably is too young to be in an elite special force??? - but apart from that she was great! Eric Mabius (Matt), Martin Crewes (Kaplan) and Colin Salmon (One) were all good as supporting cast!
The films special effects are brilliant and director Paul Anderson uses his imagination well to build a story around the resident evil game. It's a shame we didn't get to see more of the mansion in which Resident Evil is known and loved for. The twisted metal music score is excellent to this film and Marilyn Manson must be applauded in the way he handled the high tense scenes within this movie.
Resident Evil: Nemesis is in the pipeline for 2003 and hopefully it will have the same pleasing effect as this film did. It will also be nice to see some familiar looking characters be introduced into the sequal i.e. Albert Wesker!!
A great film - 8/10
