I saw the trailer and a few words came to mind. House of the Dead. Does anyone else have the same feeling? I'm scared!

Hopefully it will be better than House of the Dead. The clip they showed during the MTV Movie Awards pre or post show (I forget which), looked pretty good.

well i know that it takes more from the games heavliy from the 3rd game called "resident evil nemesis". it has Jill valentine in that tube top and skirt a umbrella solider named carlos and the location is in racoon city like in the game nemesis. i dont know if this is just a ploy to get more fans but iam hopeing its good.

I think it will be.  I really  hope they take alot of this one from 3, two was not all that great in my oppinion.  It was more of a myst type game than a fighting game.  WAY to many puzzles.

I'm not even a fan of the first Resident Evil movie, but I can guarantee the sequel will be much, much, much better than House of the Dead. There's just no possible way it could be any worse.

The new resident evil looks a lot better, especially since Paul Anderson isnt writing or directing (Hooray!!!!) I have no idea how that man turned a zombie videogame into a movie about a computer with some zombies added at the last minute. I bet he will wreck the Alien vs Predator Movie.

do your homework fluffy, Anderson DID write the script and while he isnt directing it,  his first unit director of Resident evil is...bleh. expect poo.

Listen hears what I think. First bullet time again, what is it with that. It's not cool anymore. Normal people become expert warriors, again HOTD did that.  The acting in the trailers looks weak as weak as HOTD. Then they try to rip off 28 Days Later, except 28 days was a good zombie film. Also Paul Anderson and Boll had both bigger budgets but put it into no use. Both showed us that you can get into Hollywood without any brains or talents let alone good taste (also Britney Spears the Olsen Twins, and J Lo showed us that too.) Plus what is it with Bald Zombie villians. What so they are against bald men  Boll  must have hated bald men from Gemany. I will give Anderson this credit Colin from Keen Eddie and the first RE is a really good actor, just not put to be great use except of course in Keen Eddie.

Alien Vs. Predator looks like crap too. Armies with guns and expert warriors crap.

course it looks liek crap its a Paul W.S Anderson project.

I'm fairly sure that Anderson couldn't make a good movie if you gave him the script, budget, actors, effects, crew and Mexicans to do it. He'd probably f**k it up somehow... most likely by directing it.

Yep! He's a failure. I heard some people here actually liked him. I also see some people say his movies are good and say Dawn of the Dead was bad. Either they need some mental help or get some slaps on the head to wake them up.

mexicans? ok....I"m witholding the urge to point out somehting here but i'll bite my tongue. I dont think we need to hear any more racist crap here thank you very much.

Dunners: Oooops My mistake ;) Well with that news you've shattered any hope I had for this movie, The Anderson curse lives on. Damn him

Now while I will agree that House of the dead is the worst zombie movie since the last return of the living dead, I thought that the first Resident Evil was alright (more of a introduction).  Sure It could have focused more on the literal game but they had to make it watchable for those who also had never played the games. I think that the new one will be more  like the games well at least a mix of 2 and 3.  So they will be better.  Oh and for those who didnt get to go to E3 Resident Evil 4 is the s**t.

Paul Anderson's track record is indeed very bleak, but I'm really hoping that AVP works out well.  From what I've seen it doesn't look too bad, especially considering I think he butchered the original AVP idea that could've been so very good [the games I mean]

There isn't alot of good to be said about him, except this: In some interview I read somewhere, he stated that he's sick of all the dodgy CGI graphics and many-a-film's reliance on it.  He decided to go back to the basics and make the film like the original Alien series: puppets and what not.  In other words, not much CGI in it at all.  As annoying and bad as he is, I had to give him credit for that.

Just saw the new REA trailer, its a f**king joke. It looks like house of the dead 2.0.

I know I'm the only one here who enjoyed House of the Dead, but I can't be the only one who thinks Apocalypse looks incredible.  I just watched the new trailer, and not only does this movie look utterly ridiculous, it's rated R for "non-stop violence." I can't wait.

R for non stop violence eh?  I scoff at this film "Bah!"

I haven't seen "House of the Dead" since I heard it was so awful. Even I have my limits and I won't see movies that get virtually no good reviews.

I actually enjoyed the first "Resident Evil" movie and I'm really picky about zombie movies. I know people here like to rag on the first "Resident Evil" film, and its director in particular, but it's a perfectly watchable and entertaining film and SO MUCH better than most zombie movies. I think the trailer for "Resident Evil 2" looks pretty kick ass. My only worry is that they're making it more of an action flick than a horror flick. I hope they don't forget the elements that made the video games so effective, which are horror and suspense. The movie should be scary and creepy, not just a bunch of yahoos running around blowing things up and shooting monsters with big guns.

Even I have my limits and I won't see movies that get virtually no good reviews.

You don't belong here

*drumroll* :D

I think its fair to say that the film is likely to be a lot more action than suspense.

yep seen the trailer, im ded confused cos i no nofin bout resident evil, ive watched it but this is probably the most obvious question in the world but dus apocolypse follow on lol? im sorry if this question is stupid

I GUESS I AM MISSING THE POINT ... I STILL DON'T SEE WHERE TO ORDER, PURCHASE, ACQUIRE, ETC.  ADVISE!

Apology accepted, boogle.

Judging by the commercials, it looks fantastic.  I anxiously await its arrival at Blockbuster ;)

I just saw the movie and I haven't really had enough time to let it all sink in, but it's looking to be one of my favorite movies of all time.  It was so awesome I could cream my pants right now.  I'm going to have to go watch it again.  Can't  wait for the dvd to come out.

Nice refractory period Trez!

ahhhhhhhhh.................
Its good to fart.

This movie was good silly fun.  Nemesis was a blast (with his rocket launcher, ha ha!) and it was just so nice to see slow zombies in a movie whose parent gaming series has apparently jumped on the 28 Days Later bandwagon with fast, smart undead.  No plot, no brain, just entertainment, pure and simple.

Just came back from RESIDENT EVIL:  APOCALYPSE. The biggest zombie film ever. I mean hundreds of zombies. I even liked the story and I thought the actresses were awesome not to mention Nemesis. Alot of action for a zombie movie, but I enjoyed it. The whole senario of the corperate bio-labs and their own soldiers and police force is a realistic one. Think about it if you own a bio lab that can produce viruses and send plagues and such wouldn't they control the world goverments and sort of hold them hostage. Wouldn't world leaders be subject to them? Or wouldn't the goverment even kill individuals just to obtain such assets in real life. The film might seem mindless with all the action and explosions, but I thought it was quite engaging on all levels.

I still like the creepy slow zombies that many of us grew up with like in  the Romero films and other films like ZOMBIE.

I'm new to the thread but I've also just seen the movie, if anyone here is an actual fan of the series then maybe they can help me clear some things up.  WTF is Jill doing in two places at once.  The original RE movie could actually coincide with the games, REA, as far as I remember, can't.  RE3 Nemesis.  Jill was in her apartment, realized it was time to get the hell outa dodge and began her escape of racoon city, running into yes Carlos, Nemesis, and even Nicolie (sp?).  Although characters were different.  The biggest thing is the RE series main character Jill being in two places at once.  The timeframe of the movie, beginning to end has Jill doing all this stuff while at the exact same time in RE3 she's doing something else with different people.  I could drop exact examples but I don't want to ruin it for people who haven't seen it...  If you can help I'd appreciate it.

p.s. Bah...I'm a fanatic I know...ANGER!

The movies are to be viewed as being separate from the game series. Don't even try to blend them together because they aren't meant to be.

If you wanna get the most out of your movie-viewing pleasure, first thing you need to do is realize that the movie was written by some person who is trying to take all the coolest parts-- Add their own original ideas into the stew (They ARE writers after all)-- and make it fit within the average 90 minute time span. People that make movies generally want to make a project "theirs" and so will make dramatic changes.

So, stop trying to figure out "where in the series" the movies fit in. Also, stop trying to use information that you learn in the movies to figure out things in the games. Again, it is stuff that people far removed from the video game development have decided sounded cool.

Design wise it was as tight if not more tight than the original that Anderson directed. Costuming for S.T.A.R.S.  guys were pretty close to video game design-- Jill's costume was also dead on to her RE:3 design.-- But the entire story had very little to do with tany of the games' plots-- Including RE:3 Nemesis-- Crazyness-- I'll buy it when it comes out on DVD-- but I'd give it 3 out of 5 stars-- Action! Action! Action!

Leave brain at home when you go to see this movie and you should enjoy it-- Otherwise you may get too bogged down.

lol, and brian I did take with me... I agree entirerly and yes, disapointing as it is, makes sense.  They pulled a Mortal Kombat on me.  Ah well... Thanks a bunch.

I really liked this movie. Lots of shoot em up fun.

So there were lots of zombies?  I may end up seeing it after all.  The zombies kind of seemed like an afterthought in the first one.

This one was all about the zombies!!!!  There are scenes with hundreds of them doing that very creepy  and slow I'm gonna get you in about an hour walk.  And the plot line was not all that bad, pretty interesting actually.

The first movie had very little to do with the video game series.  The sequel is essentially an amalgamation of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, and did a fair job, I thought, of incorporating the first film's plot into a movie that was more true, in spirit, anyway, to the games.

I wound up seeing this yesterday and really enjoyed it.  I didn't like the first one because as I said before, the zombies seemed to take a backseat and the movie seemed more action than horror, plus I normally hate the idea of making movies from videogames.  This one had more scary moments and only a few little annoying things that have become standard in action films these days.  
I was afraid that once Nemesis showed up they were going to forget all about the zombies but they definitely came back with a vengeance.  Even the comic relief character wasn't that bad, and I usually hate that kind of thing.  So yep, I think horror and especially zombie fans should check it out....

Yah, the movie was awesome.  The first movie could so be incorporated into the series, explaining in more detail the contamination at the mansion complex.  About the "21 Days Later" coment.  Yah the zombies obviously got alot of influence from that film, but not so much the zombies, but the way they were filmed, the blury footage etc.  Its becoming more and more popular in the RE game series that zombies have some intelligence and can actually run at you.  In RE Outbreak you'd be able to sometimes run past them, other times they'd fly at you.  p.s. Nemesis woulda schooled her, STARS!

It was a cool movie. Do you know if there planning on making a third Resident Evil movie? They might as well make it a trilogy. After all they made a ton of games. Let me know if you know anything. Thanx.

After it coined it in, the studio was wetting itself with anticipation of the sequel.

You punk     the movie was so boring my mom thought i was watching the zzombie version of Barney's sing-a-long                 p.s. I'm 11                                                                                     Gecko Brothers wrote:

The new RE pretty much sucked. I actually liked the first one but felt the second one was a bloated snooze-fest.

Was RE:A the most expensive zombie movie ever? It cost 50 million to make! That's a lot for a zombie movie.

All I got to say the movie suck it is bulls**t  I mean Nemesis didn't look right I thought he would be bigger then that like in the games they should of made resident evil movie story base on the video game they only had one person from the videogame and it's jill and they made her suck compare to the babe that was killing that movie is just bulls**t movies this year starting to suck the only movie I really enjoy was spider man 2
