Utter Crap

Rating: Null/10 (12 April 2004)

After playing the remake of this game on nintendo gamecube and being totally blown away by its storyline i was beyond dissapointment when i saw the movie. why would anyone base a movie on a video game and not even use characters from the game. it makes no sence to me
WARNING: small game spoiler.
in the game two S.T.A.R.S teams were sent into racoon city to investigate some bizzare murders. the first team went missing and the game begins with you taking control of one of two members of the other team, chris or jill. from their you enter a big mansion and uncover a very twisted and interesting background to the umbrella corporation and all their doings.

now why didnt the movie do this. the story follows quite loosely and the characters are pretty dull and boring. in my opinion if the they had followed the story of the game this could have been one of the best horror movies ever made. if it wasnt based on a video game i think i may have enjoyed it but because i was comparing it to what i expected i was very dissapointed.
