Terminator goes zombie

Rating: 3/10 (30 September 2004)

I didn't care much for either RE movies. Its like the directors only are inspired by the action part of the game and not the brilliantly creepy atmosphere that I loved so much. Where is the part where our heroes walks alone in a giant scary mansion trying to survive all kinds of horrors, like they do in the first 3 games? NOWHERE!!! Its like the style of both movies are inspired by the fourth and least creepy game, "Codename Veronica" , with the exception of the Terminator like mutant zombie in RE:Apocalypse, that obviously is taken from the third game "Nemesis", and with success. It looks much like the mutant in the game and he also acts the same way.
But what i find really annoying, especially with RE:Apocalypse, is the marvel comic action that the movies are packed with. I didn't get the feeling, while playing the games, that the heroes were SUPER heroes, but i certainly do that when I'm watching the movies. It takes out all the suspense and horror (which leave only action) when Jovovich fires a one-liner, while hanging in the air kicking 5 zombies to "death" at the same time. And the worst part is, that ALL heroes in RE:Apocalypse are like that. Its just as scary to look at as watching "X-men". Jovovichs arrival in the church says all that i feel about especially this sequel. Laughable and ridiculous.
Now i can only look forward to the cinema versions of "Silent Hill" and "Fatal Frame" and hope that they wont be ruined as much as Resident Evil was.
I'm sure that when the second sequel to Resident Evil comes up i wouldn't be surprised if Jovovich learns how to fly... Yikes!
I gave it 3 out of 10
