Could have been so much better

Rating: Null/10 (14 July 2002)

I along with my friends found this movie disappointing. Being an avid RE gamer, I maybe expected too much. I wanted to see Leon, Claire, Jill and co, instead I was confronted by a raggle taggle bunch of camera friendly nonetities. There just wan't enough of anything, not enough zombies, not enough demon dogs, and do me a favor, one Licker?? They should have taken a leaf out of Romero's book and thrown us into a world of paranoia, suspense and claustrophobia. Instead all we get is an extended MTV promo. The movie opened promisingly enough, with the "laser" chamber, but then just slid into mediocrity and blandness. I also agree with a previous reviewer, the script was abysmal and the acting was poor too. They should have left this movie to the Japanese to make. If their's a sequel I hope they learn from their mistakes, and also decide to make it an 18 rated and not cop out! More gore please, less "style".
