Brainless Fun

Rating: 7/10 (13 September 2004)

Let me preface by saying I enjoyed the first Resident Evil movie and I also enjoyed the game. They were pure scary zombie fun for me, with cool special effects and make-up. If you did not like the first movie, than please don't see the second because it is much more gratuitous in it's violence and gore. Which is just what I expected!
So I liked this second film. It's made for those with an extreme short attention span, and the action is beyond quick. There is truly nonstop violence and gore - and I'm not complaining. Occasionally I like those kind of films, and this one delivers.The best part for me is Nemesis - he looks cartoonish but he's pure fun to watch. Again the true star is Jovovich and they make her as cool as ever which I also can't help but like. I thought the make-up and and over-the-top explosions were actually an asset to the film as that is exactly what I had wanted when I went to see it.
Want brainless movie fun? Enjoyed the first Resident Evil movie? Than I'd recommend this movie to you.
