I love the games (up until RE6 which frankly sucked) but these movies suck big time. I like the first one, and the second wasn't too bad, but the whole Alice character took the threat of "zombies" out of this series as she has been portrayed as a superhero and OP compared to the zombies and mutated monsters. Nothing resembles anything from the games besides character designs and names. I've always felt that these movies kept getting maid for three reasons... 1) Easy cash grab 2) A way for director Paul Anderson to stay employed 3) A way for his below average acting-wife, Mila Jovavich, to stay employed I'm praying this is truly the end and it's rebooted to resemble the games more closely. Those 3 reasons are pretty spot on. Most people can't name another movie that Mila Jovavich was in besides the Resident Evil series The only other movie I recall her being the lead in was Ultraviolet, and she's essentially the same character in that one. In fact that whole movie seems like a scrapped script for this Resident Evil series. I know she did some alien abduction movie as well. Then she had some god awful suspense movie where shes on a tropical getaway with other couples, but there's a murderer among them. I worked at a theater when that one came out, and I think we sold only 10 tickets to the thing during my 8am-5pm shift. We had to quickly shuffle it from our big 200+ seat auditorium to one of the smaller ones that seat 30-50. I ended up seeing the movie myself on HBO months later. Such a stinker.
