We can expect more from the guy who directed Event Horizon. When I watch movies, I take them in for what they are, so I'm not going to compare Resident Evil to American Beauty or Mystic River. However, I can compare it to The Dark Knight, Doomsday, and Kickass, which are decent action movies with really well done action sequences and imagination. The Action in Resident Evil is really exaggerated; as in they try to make a whole lot of nothing into something. Like when Wesker is dodging bullets, hes just kind of standing there making retarded faces. My friend expected this to be a bad Resident Evil movie which most fans(those who loved the first three games, and Code Veronica) will expect, but this was just a bad movie. Nothing was explained, just shown to look bad ass. The characters are bullshit and cliché, and Chris's situation when you are introduced to him doesn't make any sense. Finally the most disappointing aspect of the movie was the action, they don't even really shoot them in the head anymore to kill the zombies, it's just shooting, and looking bad ass. Also the hand to hand fighting wasn't impressive, The Matrix, which was created over a decade ago, Kickass, Doomsday, Batman, Spiderman, Watchmen, V for Vendetta, THE EXPENDABLES, and every Arnold Schwarzenegger movie(Including Jingle all the way) have more enticing action scenes. However, the helicopters do look really bad ass, which is why I give this a 2 out of 10 instead of a 1 out of 10.
