It's all been done before

Rating: 5/10 (14 January 2005)

I have to admit: 'Resident Evil' was some sort of a guilty pleasure. But now there's a part 2 and I'm sure that someday there'll be a part 3 (concidering the open ending of 'Apocalypse'). And I feel myself thinking: I've seen this before. Dozens and dozens of times. Why do I even bother anymore? Milla Jovivich is Alice again, and this time her fight is against some evil 'Nemesis' monsters and other nasty Umbrella corporation types, while saving a little girl from zombie-dead. Main help is Jill Valentine (Sienna Guillory), whose main importance it is to 'look hot', as Jovovich explained in a TV special.
The movie has all the necessary ingredients to make up for a decent movie (a cool heroin, some monsters, a really really bad guy and fine effects), but it's never fresh or original. Too bad.
5/10.
