Ha ha sounds like shit, I wonder if you like that turd Ultraviolet just cause it has MJ!
This line made me laugh!

It’s supposed to be funny. Apocalypse was abysmal…I know these movies are crap but I still like them. Ultraviolet was pretty good, the movie was butchered by the studio execs.

Ohhhhhhhhhh yeeeaaaaah!!! Thanks to Resident Evil: Extinction - the movie grossed over 24M dollars in two days…thanks to Resident Evil we gonna see more zombie movies!!! That means other studios will release their living dead films and that’s great news to me.

Actually the zombies in the first two movies were slow and didn’t use tools, though they did hold on to items… Those same zombies are in this one, plus the faster variety introduced in the Resident Evil Remake. Infection time has always varied. In RE Outbreak series when bit you would become infected and gradually change. All depends on the amount of damage done.
I really enjoyed this movie. The script was awful, but it was otherwise a well shot (though a few overused style scenes, with slomo and Cg maps) and really fun. I felt it was a really enjoyable Post Apocalyptic film.

no they wern’t they chased them down the hall at full running speed if i remember correctly… but they were slow when they were approaching the characters when you first see them… they are inconsistent…

The remakes ok…
But at this point… because the series has gone so far past the point of reason… the characters have become overused superheros… was it really friggin necessary to bring back Wesker and give him superpowers… i mean common he was dead in the original DEAD theres no getting around it, even in the other endings were you think hes alive you can go find his corpse… but in the remake he uses some serum ( plot devise) to keep himself alive…

yeah… its mostly a plot device but in the films its used in the worst way… they say if you even get a single scratch you turn into a zombie and near the end a character becomes a zombie ridiculously fast… its always been more credible when they transformed slowly be it in the games or whatever else… and in the games if your injured ( and you will be ) you can just treat the wound and you’ll be fine…
Has anyone reserved their Resident Evil: Extinction copy! It’s out on Jan. 15th

Its easy i watch the first two installments.
Reserve a copy? What, just in case it sells out?
These Resident Evil guys sure know how to market a product. Chicks and uzis, a match made in heaven. ;D

Ya never know! Christmas is a crazy holiday! Plus if you reserve it you get it a day earlier
I would bet anything in the world that it would never in a million years sell out. Im so assure that it wont sell out that if it does i will cut my balls off and feed them to my dog.
Go suck on a lemon. How can you like Troma movies and despise Resident Evil, that hardly makes any sense - those Troma movies are complete shit, I can’t even sit through the Toxic Avenger for fuck sake - and I heard that’s like his masterpiece or is it GI Bro, I forget… ;D
Fuck Troma
Love it how yous all run out and love everything Tarantino likes, and he has admitted that he loves Troma movies and they were a big influence on him, yet almost all of you tarantino fans dont like troma ( a staple in the grindhouse genre). IMO 85 percent of yous just jumped on the ban wagon of watching b movies because of grindhouse.

They don’t make any sense on purpose, you gotta take them for what they are. Now im not gonna go say toxic avenger is the greatest film of all time, but it is a lot better than the resident evil films. Resident evil trys to act like something its not, good. Troma knows there bad and try to make the most out of it.

Just cause they know they’re bad doesn’t mean they’re good. Lloyd Kaufman’s a hack that
exploits wannabe hacks.
Resident evil 1 - fails to produce anything resembling the good elements in the original games… generally poor…
Resident evil 2 - basically takes stuff from the games and uses them poorly. Then becomes completely absurd and seems to revolve around Milla Jovovich… Awful
Resident evil 3 - even more absurd, nothing like the original games, apparently now a comparison can be made to Troma films
You can’t have a straight adaptation of the game and make that into a movie! Seriously the Resident Evil games are barely coherent, you have helicopters crashing all the time and a group of special tactics police officers on their own, combating hordes of zombies and other Umbrella generated monsters. Most of the story elements of the game are presented in special reports and journals, and it’s not very cinematic.
Paul WS Anderson found a way to successfuly adapt Resident Evil in a way that is both interesting and cinematic. Everyone keeps saying the same shit - “he should have just copied the games” - which is what Romero did and the result was basically the same stuff we saw in the games. How would you have done it Thousand-eyes since you seem so determined to bash these movies for no reason. I don’t see how anyone else could have done something remotely better. The Resident Evil films are just crazy fun - I don’t take them too seriously, maybe you shouldn’t take them too seriously either.
And for anyone who dosen’t know, there’s an animated Resident Evil film in the works (Final Fantasy style) called Biohazard: Degeneration!

I said the good elements… not the gay ones… ( sorry i dont mean to make the games look perfect ). But the games tried to scare you and are very Atmospheric. They were not about about chicks doing flying kicks… well not the first three… the games after that went downhill…

I dont think they should have copied the games, but i feel that if they were going to change things ( or make it completely different as it was ) they it should have been changed into something better…

Resident evil’s like batman… you can either make a Batman Begins or a Batman & Robin ( sorry for the stupid comparison ) But theres the camp side to them and then theres the scary/ violent side… mabye i do take them too seriously but i feel that they would have worked better had they gone the other way…
Thats not to say i dont like the other side, but i think if it was going to be a B movie then it should have been more like a feature version of this…

I fucking love that intro, if the resident evil film was like that then i’d love it to bits… Wesker looks like such a bad ass as well…

If you gave me $32,000,000 to make resident evil, i would use most of the money to make a film that reflects all that ive liked in films i think are similar to what resident evil should be. It would be effects heavy - the thing, no cgi. The entire focus of the film would be to scare the viewer ( using more atmosphere then gore… though it would be messy ) I would be going for realism. And the story line would follow the first game… it would be more like alien - technically a B movie but doesn’t feel like it… but maybe not quite as serious… the thing is a good comparison… Id probably then get you in as a writer or consultant or something and get Milla Jovovich in a respectable but less focal acting role… I would do a lot of the effects work myself as im quite capable at this, thus saving a lot of money which i would right off as expenses then keep.
I bash them because i hate them… Im a fan… i have that right…
