Resident Evil

Pros: It has zombies...
Cons: Nonexistent plot explanation; stupid characters; no gore to speak of

Being a fan of the “Resident Evil” video game series and a big zombie movie fan, I was somewhat enthusiastic about the series being translated into a big screen film, especially when rumor had it that George Romero would be directing it. After Romero...

Pros: Suspenseful action sequences, great amounts of zombies and monsters, interesting premise.
Cons: Not overtly meaningful, predictable, underdeveloped plot, substandard characterization.

Welcome to The Ultimate Nightmare. Imagine a multi-billion dollar corporation with unlimited resources and the scientific knowledge to produce some of the vilest biological toxins ever manufactured, a company with limited ethics and unlimited ...

Pros: Milla Jovovich and Michelle Rodriguez!
Cons: The big mutant monster thing was not needed.

I had heard mixed reviews about this movie, but still wanted to see it. Going in, my main problem with it was that it comes from the director of Soldier – a horrible, horrible film. The same guy also did Mortal Kombat, which is probably the only decent...

Pros: You can watch 28 Days Later.
Cons: The beginning, the middle and the end.

I watched Resident Evil because it was on and I didn’t feel like changing the channel. On the surface it reminded me a lot of 28 Days Later, which I really enjoyed. While I really love virus and disaster movies, I avoid game movies like the plague ...

Pros: A Good Use of a Game License, Some Suspenseful Scenes...
Cons: hmm... I Don't Know

I should have learned my lesson by now, after watching such films as The Super Mario Bros, Tomb Raider, and Mortal Kombat I once decided not to watch anymore Movies based off of video games, but with Resident Evil I couldn't help myself, the commercials...

Pros: Not Many
Cons: Effects, Story, Cheap Tricks

I finally saw this movie last week, didn't really want to see it in theaters. That said, I didn't have high expectations for it, but thought it might be fun to watch. Well, I almost didn't finish it because it got to the point where I didn't really...

Pros: I remembered to turn in the rental on time.
Cons: Horrible story. Lame action. Waste of time.

After watching Resident Evil this past weekend I started to ponder to myself if B-Movies were in fact still made today. Many of us have heard of B-Movies and have probably seen a handful of them throughout our lives – but what many of us do not...

Pros: Jovovich looks great, and a few wonderful minutes of laser-death.
Cons: Awful script, terrible FX, and a scare factor of zero.

These days it’s incredibly difficult to make a bad film. Actually, scratch that. It’s actually a lot easier to make a poor film appear to be quite good. Got a poor script? Marinate the film in millions of dollars worth of high-tech CGI, throw in some ...

Pros: In hindsight, it didn't cause a heart attack! just indigestion.
Cons: Is HOKEY a con? How about schlocky or shoddy? What about crappy? I know, Retarded!

Welcome to daumco's second annual One Star's Too High W/O. With this review I hope to engage my fellow Epinionators to tell their experiences with faulty products or just downright lousy media products. It seems to me that the world is in perfect ...

Pros: Milla, it's Resident Evil
Cons: some people may say it's just another game-movie failure

At first, I was very reluctant to see Resident Evil, however the previews on TV looked pretty cool. But like I said, I was very reluctant to go see it, as I thought of all the game to movie transitions that failed. Movies such as Tomb...

Pros: it was nowhere near as bad as I'd heard
Cons: it was nowhere near as good as the movies it apes

Do you ever find yourself unable to sleep? You turn on the tv, but the only thing to watch is an old B-movie, stocked with no-name actors and effects that weren't very special. Well, that was the old way of doing things; today's B-movies have famous...

Pros: suspenseful, excellent sets, several commentaries and featurettes on the DVD
Cons: sometimes a sense of deja vu when seeing certain scenes

I enjoy watching Resident Evil.  Saying this, I can understand where camps will be divided over this movie.  Those familiar with the Resident Evil video game will no doubt have a different perspective of this film from someone who has ...

Pros: Horrifying action, with excellent production values.
Cons: No substance. It's celluloid junk food.

Resident Evil (2002) Directed by Paul W. S. Anderson. At the beginning of the 21st century, the Umbrella Corporation had become the largest commercial entity in the United States. Nine out of every ten homes contain its products. Its ...

Pros: Milla's nude (that may be a Cons as well) occasionally. Zombies are neat.
Cons: Could care less about the characters at all.

Long ago, I had thought Johnny Mnemonic was quite possibly the worst 'Hollywood' movie ever made. Then came all these videogame films. Double Dragon was quite terrible but it didn't have that high of a budget and Alyssa Milano hammed it up to make it...

Pros: Excellent soundtrack, funny scenes.
Cons: Flat characters, lack of logic, very low horror factor.

What do you get when you combine the music of Mortal Kombat, the setting of Ghosts of Mars, the gore of Event Horizon and add a little of Michael Jackson? A surprisingly enjoyable flick called Resident Evil. If you keep your expectations low (not so...
