When i watched the first Resident Evil movie i really loved it. It set the atmosphere perfectly and had a decent story on the origins and how the system had tried to contain it with cold hearted logic. When the second movie came out i was disappointed at the whole game of "Simon Says" which turned out to be the main theme of the movie. I am still horrified over how badly inserted the cemetery scene was and how the zombies knew the exact moment to pop out.
Now we have Resident Evil 3 which is not something i enjoyed watching. There were one or two decent zombie scenes but during most of the movie they just stood there like big old scarecrows. I did not feel any horror theme from this movie so i wonder why it was not classified as an action movie. While browsing through some forums i noticed how many people there were that loved the whole psychic thing but having played through the Resident evil games the whole thing struck down like a lightning from clear Skye's. This movie cut off all ties to the actual games and i am hoping that the computer animated movie will be much better.
What amazes me is that in the first movie the writer was also the director. During the second one the director was changed but it was the same writer. The third one has the same thing so i dearly hope there will not be a fourth resident evil movie made by this writer.
