Just because there are gems in the gauntlet doesn't mean that they are the infinity gems. Do you really think that Odin would keep the item that could cause the entirety of the nine realms fully assembled?Korskarn said:
Escape to the Movies: Resident Evil Retribution
- Thread starter MovieBob
- Start date
I just got back from seeing this. I liked it. Fun little action movie. Movie Bob has it right in that it feels like someone just wanted to do their own fanfic and turn it into a movie. Each character that shows up, Resident Evil fans will already know what's going to happen to them. Please note: if someone is walking slowly toward you with a chainsaw, moving out of the way is better than just standing there.
The last two minutes of the film though. When it starts zooming out. Oh man...I can't wait to see that movie. It's going to be amazing if they do it right. Which is, all out war please. No major plot stuff.

For one reason or another, I wasn't able to watch this until 2:03am Saturday. I wasn't planning on watching Resi-5 and according to Film Brain over on TGWTG, Dreadd 3D is good but overly reminiscent of The Raid: Redemption in that most of the film takes place within an apartment complex. I did go to the movies a few hours ago though! I and my girlfriend watched Finding Nemo in 3D. Totally worth it even though I cried 3 times...I mean, not at all.
Great review as always Bob! You were quieter than I was expecting at those panels and it's too bad I couldn't have been there...

Looper looks insanely good and is mostly getting rave reviews. I guess I'll wait until next week to go to the movies. I had been kinda interested in RE just because of game love and the commercials finally made it look like it had decent production values, but I guess the explosions/monsters can't make up for act that is THAT bad.

Alice is a better main character? That's a good joke, ANYBODY from the games is better than Alice, who has no personality, she exists to do whatever the writer wants.
Quick question, why is she doing any of this? In the previous movies her motivation was: it was her job (first movie), she wanted to escape (second movie), revenge I think? That's the closest I could get (third), and no reason (fourth).
One thing I don't get is the absurd amounts of stupid things that can happen in these movies that people seem to let slide, like the bombs that change how big their explosions are (by that I mean there are two identical bombs, ones explosion is the size of a closet but only causes cables to snap, the other blows up 50 feet but doesn't destroy any objects), the quarter firing shotgun that needs no reloading or gunpowder, and the constant resetting of the previous movie, every consecutive movie undoes what the previous movie did.

lol, you are not the only one. for some reason i just wanted to see it and i did. i just hope the next RE movie will be the last one as anderson said.ANImaniac89 said:
i have no complaints about milla. besides looking hot she does a good ass kicking performance that at least keeps up throughout the movie.
the only character that bothered me was ada. she was so emotional and trustworthy. what happened to this cheerful, backstabbing ***** we know from the games???
besides some good fight scenes and the cool music at the beginning of the movie, the movie still is bad but a watchable bad movie.
Oh you silly people. There is no Resident evil game after the third one.
Well, now seriously. I'm the only one who thought that the resident evil canon story is cool? at least for the first 3 games before it went like crazy?... Okay, maybe I can forgive the fourth one.
The movies? meh, I really hate them. For me they feel like something worse than a fanfiction, but well, is only me I guess.
Also... when will we have a game were we play the Merchant!?

Cracked makes a number of good points [http://www.cracked.com/blog/6-reasons-resident-evil-movies-are-better-than-games/] about how the movies have become better.
I love how he pointed out that, of the 9 different viruses in the games so far, each one of them does one of exactly two things: Turn people into zombies and turn small animals into whatever the writers want them to turn into, or turn people AND animals into whatever the writers want them to turn into. So in essence, all the bioweapons do pretty much the exact same thing.

Wow. Sorry to say, but Alice is -not- a great, or even remotely good character, she is a super Mary Sue in every sense of the phrase. This movie is utter garbage, the movie franchise is absolutely terrible (and no it is not consistent or logical within its own universe), and I really just wish they would stop introducing characters from the video games for no reason at all. Sure, RE5 was terrible, but I still think even that game is better than the 'plot' of these movies.
Wait, what? - There is no fourth RE game... we just established that.Warnolo said:
The RE trilogy was IMO fine and the remake of the first IMO proved that the formula could still hold up 10 years later. It was never anything special story wise but I would say it embodied the zombie created by science cliché.
The films? Yea we get it, the director got himself a hot wife... I don't give a damn.
This was precisely what I wanted to ask.RTR said:
Not that I've seen it, and I'm not a HUGE fan of PT Anderson. But any takedown of Scientology is AOK by me.
Oh come on...... Super Mario bros. (the video game) also has a TERRIBLE story, but no one uses that to defend the different direction its movie counterpart went. I also don't know anyone who says these movies are getting better!? They are getting worse on every level imaginable.
