Easily the best of the series. The action and gore was awesome, and I actually liked the story, unlike Apocalypse. Sadly, the very, very, VERY last minute of it was crappy, I thought. But the crappy last minute doesn't spoil the killer 95 or so that came before it. It was an action spectacle from beginning to end, and I really wanna go see it again.

Totally shitty movie. I thought it was boring and the story was way over the top. Fuck she gets all these weird powers like controlling fire and shit. I personally didn't even like Alice in this movie. I was impressed by Ali Later as Claire Redfield.

Hated the movie.

I really like the first one.. and I really hate the sequel..

it'd be good if you guys could tell us your thoughts of the first part and the second part.. along with your comments

Having watched all three Resident Evil films today, I'd rank Extinction as second in the series. It can't match the original at all, which is just a fuckin' awesome flick. Apocalypse is good as a straight action flick, but I found it to be more stupid than back in '04. Extinction basically takes (and improves upon) the action from Apocalypse, and isn't as cheesy in the process (no, Alice does not make friends with the giant monster in the trailer this time). I still prefer if this series stuck to horror with action elements instead of action with horror elements, but oh well. Extinction's pretty kick ass, I had a good time.

Resident Evil - A
Apocalypse - B+
Extinction - A-

sounds good

I never saw the first two, but I really enjoyed this one, Korrgan is right the lat minute should have been cut, but before that it was complete action and most importantly fun and entertaining.

First time I have been to the movies in a month.

It's really aimless for the first 45 minutes, with nothing much of note happening. Once the caravan gets to Las Vegas things heat up... just in time to slow down again for the 'big finale,' which was okay I guess. The Tyrant was pretty nifty, though the laser beam thing has been done too many times, and I'm not just talking about this series. The ending is pretty abysmal, stupid, and goes against something the little girl says to Alice no more than five minutes before the credits.

P.S. - Why was Dr. Isaacs sending Alice through the tests, other than to recreate set-pieces from the first film? If you need her dead, just shoot the bitch and be done with it.

P.P.S. - Does it feel like we skipped ahead one film? Not only is the world overrun by zombies, but the Earth is now a barren wasteland.

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard story-wise. Her blood would be the same whether she finished the tests or not.

That is shit script writing.

Personally I think RE4 as we know from RE3 ending should be set in Japan and directed by Paul Ws Anderson.

I also feel that RE1 was the best, most suspenseful and had thriller entertainment in it.

RE2 was absolutely ridicolous because they were trying to be like the videogame.

RE3 was also shit.

C+, despite a creepy atmosphere and haunting sets, the film drags too long with too little action and too much deja vu.

I've seen the first and thought it was shit and completely throwaway. I really just dont get Milla being the main character and not one of the game characters. But I think I gave that a C-. Never saw the 2nd, but was bored and caught this one today.

But this was a complete jump in quality I have to say. Have no idea why she had powers, but I was entertained throughout. The action wasn't that amazing though, just what I would expect. Yes it was kind of pointless and anticlimatic, and of course the over played "Someone is bit and never tells anyone" seen countless times, but Russell is a much better director than Anderson and it shows, there are some decent thrills throughout, and I enjoyed it.

B+

The good news is that each film in the series is getting better than the last. The bad news is, that doesn't mean much. The first movie was dumb as hell and funny. The second had a couple of good action scenes but nothing more. And here, the film is at times interesting to look at, but kind of boring. In places it's suspenseful, and I'll admit I jumped a couple of times, but it's kind of flat. And talk about the missed opportunities in Vegas. You have an entire lost city to explore that we all know, and all we get is a giant crate full of zombies? And it's not like the scene itself was great or anything. It kind of felt like a by the numbers zombie shootout. There are only a certain number of times where you can blow out the back of a zombie's head, or slice it's entire throat (Without the head falling off), before it gets kind of stale. Maybe it was because of budgetary constraints or something, but I still felt kind of cheated. As for the ending, it was somewhat suspenseful, but also kind of flat out stupid. The last shot of the film made me laugh, and I don't think that's the note they wanted to go out on.

That saying, I liked some of the visuals, I enjoyed a couple of the action scenes, and I jumped a couple of times. This is the best Resident Evil yet, but as I said, that's not saying much. The whole thing felt like a missed opportunity.

That was dumb, seriously that was a neverending crate of zombies. I'm lowering my grade to a B as I dont think it will hold up well.

I liked it. Nice musical score, action, and fun. Far better than number 2 and I actually liked it better than the original.

Who calls Resident Evil Biohazard and why?

Didnt Resident Evil start in the states first when it was released in 94, and why would it even matter if its a different form of entertainment all together?
