Didn't anyone else think this movie was awful?

Rating: 3/10 (17 September 2004)

Possible spoilers throughout entire thing.
Alright, first of all, yes there were many great action-packed scenes, but not one of them made a lick of sense. There were so many coincidences that I though the movie could never end, because at the last second everyone was bound to be saved by some character who was brought in to save a main character, only to die immediately after. Let's talk about the massive amount of plot holes and terrible, TERRIBLE instances where I just wanted to see the preview for the Grudge one more time. So some people find refuge in a church right? Then there are these lickers who are too fast to be killed, and they are running out of ammo. LUCKILY, Alice just happened to be riding by on her motorcycle and was like, hey, maybe there are some people inside who are being attacked. I should probably drive my bike through a stained glass window just in case. And sure enough she saves the day. Then, for no reason whatsoever, they find themselves walking casually through a graveyard. Now there should be no real danger here because the corpses buried in the ground have not actually been infected by the T-Virus. Only people who were in the hive or were bitten by people from the hive turn into zombies. But lo and behold, the dead rise from the grave, again for no reason except there hasn't been a fight scene in ten minutes. Of course the zombies fight one at a time, because they still have morals, and none of the main characters get a bite or a scratch on them. Oh, and then the worst part of the movie except for the eyes bleeding scene, occurs when they go to the school looking for a little girl. "Wow! This is a big creepy place, the three of us should split up. Oh, you've never fired a gun? It's easy just aim for the head." Yeah, this is what I'd want to hear too. Then, the chick who can't fire a gun finds a horde of kiddie zombies, but because she sucks, she dies. But then the little girl, who has no weapons shows up in the very room where these zombies just were, and she's fine. Yep, a little unarmed girl should be just fine in a school full of zombies, and those dog things, especially when shes following them around so she can see who they just killed. Real plausible guys, thanks. Then Jill and the girl are in the kitchen and are attacked by a dog when you guessed it, a no name character saves them, but is tragically killed in the next 30 seconds. Who knew? Then when Jill turns on all the gas to blow up the dogs, her match goes out. But again Alice is there with a lit cigarette and she thinks to herself, you know what, Jill probably turned on all the gas, I should throw my butt into the kitchen and save the day. Worst of all ladies and gentlemen, at the end of the movie, Alice stops the guard from sounding the alarm by, wait that can't be right, oh no she DID just make that guy bleed from the eyes by LOOKING AT HIM THROUGH A CAMERA! Oh yeah and then everyone becomes a member of Umbrella, the company they were trying to destroy. Makes sense to me! Basically it did have action, and the black guy would have made the movie, if it hadn't sucked. Whoever wrote this probably should have tried to make one scene lead into another, instead of just saying hey this would be cool, but it wouldn't make sense, oh well those jackasses won't know the difference anyways. All in all, good action, terrible acting, terrible plot, and you guessed it too many coincidences. I wish my life were like this movie, then everyone who wasn't important enough for me to know their name could always sacrifice themselves so my life, which makes no sense at all, could continue. Thank God they set up for another sequel. This one will take place on Mars, or under the sea. Why? Apparently it doesn't matter why. But all I know is next time I'm in a church or a school surrounded by the walking dead, I'm going to suggest we split up and pray Alice comes to the rescue. I think I'll save my money for the next one and I'll rate this one a -2/10, because I hate Hollywood now.
