The best video game adaption by far.

Rating: 9/10 (11 September 2004)

Resident Evil is an acquired taste. The first movie was split right down the middle. Most people who played the game loved the movie and most people that never played the game hated the movie. Resident Evil Apocalypse was no different. I am a huge fan of the resident evil game series and thought the first movie was a fairly solid action movie and at the time was the best video game adaption. Apocalypse now takes the crown as the champ. From the time this movie was announced I was anticipating it. When the credits for the movie rolled I felt like a kid again. The movie doesn't disappoint the hardcore fans and is even enjoyable for a person looking for a solid action movie. The acting in the movie was very well done. With Guillory shining as a fan favorite Jill Valentine. The rest of the cast gave very convincing performances especially Mike Epps as the comic relief. Most of the action was very solid, besides the quick cutting fist fight between Alice and Nemesis. The story structure was a lot better than the first. The pacing seem more natural and the action was perfectly staged. My favorite part had to be Nemesis. The make-up team did an excellent job to make true to Capcom's creation. The ending was not predictable and will leave true fans begging for the sequel. *** out of ****
