Doesn't deserve to be called Resident Evil

Rating: 1/10 (13 November 2005)

My expectations were pretty high when I first heard about a movie adaption of my all-time favorite video game - namely, Resident evil. When I heard that Paul W.S. Anderson was directing, I kinda knew what was coming. I mean, let's face it; his directing skills are just as bad as a dead dogs breath... The eerie music, spooky atmosphere, great characters and fine story which the first game contained was completely gone in the film. Andersons attempt to scare and entertain us failed on every level possible. I almost feel sorry for him, but mostly, I feel sorry for the real fans of the games.
If you want an intelligent and scary horror movie with good character development, then avoid the film at all cost - On the other hand, if you're into brainless action flicks, then this might be the ticket for you...
I give this film 3/10... 1 for the nice red dress worn by Milla - and 2 for the decent portrait of the Umbrella corp.
