Topic: [Rant] You fail at watching films.

"It's nothing like the Resident Evil Games."

My friend has recently viewed Resident Evil: Extinction, and they didn't like it. Fair enough, lots of people don't like it or any of the RE film series, and I can understand that. What I don't understand how someone can repeatedly make the same damn mistake three times, and use the same whine three times as a result.


"Who the **** is Alice? She wasn't in the game."

Ok, with the first RE film I can understand some people walking into the theater expecting a carbon copy of the game. I still think doing so is stupid but I can understand people making this mistake once.
I myself did not make this mistake, I knew that a carbon copy of the game would be the most boring 90 minutes of screen time ever and so was expecting nothing more than a very expensive B movie.
As a result I found the film most enjoyable.


"Nemesis is supposed to use a Rocket Launcher."

Then people watched the second film, making the same damned mistake.
How hard can it really be to suspend belief for 90 minutes and just enjoy watching people get eaten by Zombie children and nuns while big men who can't act look hard with guns?


"Why does she have psychic powers now. That's not in the games. That's not Resident Evil."

Congratu-****ing-lations, you finally got it. Now turn your brain off and watch the A-cup in the leather pants turn the sky into fire.


End Rant.

well ranted!

The core joke of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is that of course no civilization would develop personal computers with instant remote database recovery, and then waste this technology to find good drinks.
Steve Jobs has ruined this joke.

Only reason one should watch those movies:

If you want to see something like that, watch 28 days later. The story is more or less the same, but at least the film has an original angle to see things from..

"Now I've got to get used to not living next door to Alice...
Alice? Alice?
Who the **** is Alice?"
Sing along, or shout obscenities after every verse.  Either way is good.

Personally, I think if you want to watch a Resident Evil film, the plot takes on a lower priority than, say, ultraviolence.

You didn't read Neo Variety Hour, so they killed me.  But even death can not stop my awful, awful posts.

28 days later is hardly a zombie movie though ^^

Re: [Rant] You fail at watching films.

depends on how you define zombie, but it's an accurate portrayal of a zombie holocaust.

Mindless people infected and attacking other people is pretty much a zombie to me. Who cares if they're from a graveyard or not?

EDIT: it could as well be a description of the US army tongue

Re: [Rant] You fail at watching films.

Realistic expectations are a plus with movies, especially with movies adapted from video games.

I happened to like the resident evil movies. They were very good for a horror type of flick. I also was reasonably OK with the doom movie although it started getting progressively more boring until they switched to the typical doom camera angle. I loathe the first alien vs predators movie because it literally gave me a gargantuan headache. It was even worse than that "the fog" remake and that "the cave" abomination. Thankfully I'm not a total idiot so I passed on the second avp movie, although I have little doubt I will watch like 15min of it in due time though smile
