A mess - and it's actually watchable!

Rating: 5/10 (14 September 2004)

No gore, editing of fight scenes that made you confused as to who was winning and losing, no closeups of zombies, no solid plot line, no sub plot, silly writing, predictable ending, and, of course, a way to make a third Resident Evil. And yet, it was enjoyable.
I was amazed at how well the film followed the video game! Anderson must've heeded to complaints of Resident Evil fans when we complained that the first one didn't follow the game very closely. Well, Director Witt made up for that. And the film was scary. A friend of mine, who prefers high-brow "chick flicks", said it was scarier than 28 Days Later. Hmmm. I disagree, but nonetheless, Resident Evil: Apocalypse was scary.
Will there be a Code: Veronica movie now? Well, the Umbrella Corporation seems to think so. But the Box Office will decide that! I'd see it on opening day. I'd actually like to see Milla Jovovich play a villain. We'll see...
