I wish it was better..but it just sucked

Rating: 4/10 (22 September 2007)

Don't get me wrong. Resident Evil is a great franchise and definitely has some kick ass games. The first movie was phenomenal, the second movie wasn't too bad either. This one just flat out sucked and I'll tell you why. From beginning to end I couldn't help but feel confused and had soo many different questions. Where's Jill Valentine?? Why was everybody split up at the beginning when it clearly shows in the end of the second movie that everyone left together?? and why is Ashanti in this movie?? It was nice to have the character of Claire make a long awaited debut in the film and it was definitely nice to see Carlos make a return. But there was just such a lack of character development and they tried doing way too much with the film. Story wise they just kept digging themselves into a deep hole and it just wasn't very convincing to me. I was extremely disappointed to see Carlos die in the end cuz he was the one character who defined the second film. The army of Alices was probably the worst idea they could have come up with for the movie (the matrix revolutions tried the same thing with Smith and it didn't really work). It would have been nice to see a more clear resolution and make this the final film. The story still does have potential and they could come back with a kick ass 4th film. If they do make it, they should just bring back Anderson to direct it.
