i laughed throughout the movie - too bad it wasn't a comedy.

Rating: 4/10 (12 September 2004)

many people on this website claim that if you are a fan of the video games and of the original resident evil movie then you will love this sequel.
all of these people are wrong.
i love the video games and liked the original film (although flawed as it is) but i do not love this sequel. in fact i can honestly say that it was one of the stupidest movies i have ever seen.
it appears that the filmmakers believe that their audience is dumb. they felt that we wouldn't notice obvious gaping plot holes, horrible acting, bad scripts, re-used images and jokes and that raccoon city was so obviously Toronto (they didn't bother even hiding or editing out the cn tower!)
the only thing this movie is good for is for a laugh. you can laugh at the badly delivered lines, the stupidity of the characters, the boring action sequences and the attempts to show a little leg to win the audience's favour (coupled with an explosion or breaking glass).
if i had to rate it i'd give it half a star out of five.
