Doesn't disappoint

Rating: 9/10 (27 February 2005)

I don't get it - how is it that a sequel is as good as the original? Well, regardless, this is. Milo Jojovich once again rocks as the awesome fighter of "resident evil." NOTE: this is no small accomplishment. I always have to explain how Spock, played by Leonard Nimoy and 7 of 9, played by Jerry Ryan were brought to life by those respective actors.
Take for example Tuvoc in Start Trek: Voyager, or the lead blonde detective in "Escape from Mars." Both of these actors were stiff and therefore unconvincing. (Perhaps your examples would be different, but the point is the same - it is the ACTOR who brings the character to life - not the direction, editing, set, costumes, make-up, etc. - it all comes down to acting.)
Milo Jojovich is a great actress for this part. Utterly convincing in every detail she commits acts of martial arts that even I, a great skeptic of females knocking over 200# soldiers - believes. (Another example is the brunette in this movie who is like Milo's character in RE I. She is not convincing at all and throws the movie off.) The other supporting actors fare well in this movie. But let's face it - it's all Milo.
This movie delivers and doesn't disappoint. In fact when it ends they leave me wanting to see RE 3!
9/10 (The 9 is for other things having nothing to do with Milo.)
