I hated the first one but number three has turned that all around.

Rating: 9/10 (9 November 2007)

To turn someone who hates the Resident Evil franchise to suddenly like it, is a big thing, and RE3 did this for me.
I hated the first movie, i thought it was awful and disgusting. Therefore I did not see the second one, however due to the spare time I've had lately I decided to see the third. And man was it good.
:)
In short, because I don't really have much to say, the film was excellent EXCEPT for the bad guy.
A. They turned a perfectly good movie that had a slight hint of realism (except for telekinetic power) and made it ruined it with the inhuman flesh-hulk with super-scream powers and expendable fingers. B. The flesh-hulk thing died like 10 minutes after we see him and he didn't die in a cool way (being chopped to bits by lasers was a one-time wonder and to do it again was just pointless). C. Although the character was meant to come off as strong and scary, because he died 10 minutes later that effect failed completely.
HOWEVER. That's only about 10 minutes of the film so I did not bother including it into my rating. Go see it. It is actually good. Unlike the first one. :)
