I knew I wouldn't like The Punisher jsut because they got some pretty boy to play him. That dude looks nothing like how Frank Castle should look like IMO. The previews were all I needed to see to know I didn't want to watch it.

Nemesis is actually in this, rocket launcher and all along with Jill and Carlos. It's like a re-telling of RE3 or soemthing with Alice from the first as some hopped up super soldier like Wesker turned into from the looks of things... well maybe not, it's not like her eyes have been glowing red in the previews... Speaking of which the whole running down the building thing, she has a repelling cable hooked to her belt so they arnt saying she can litterally DO that.
Also Rated R? that shocked me to hear.

EXACTLY!!! When she bounced off the wall and kicked the dog in the head, (in gay-ass slow motion) that was it. THAT WAS IT!!!! That's the point in the flick that killed the whole movie for me. And the worst part is that no one else whose seen the movie thinks that part is stupid (it is really retarded).

Punisher was never in the direction of PG-13, it was going to be R from the start.
BTW, go see HERO...great film as well

I thought the first movie was going to be a piece of crap but it turn out to be a very decent movie. The trailer for the second didn't get me very excited but neither did the first one, so I'll probably see it if I find ten bucks laying on the street or something.

As long as Apocalypse doesn't have slow-mo bullet time effects, stupid slicing lasers or Carlos's weird accent it shouldn't be TOO bad.

I just checked IMDB and you're right the first WAS R, which is odd because is sure as hell didnt feel like an R rated movie. Aside from the random Zombie shootings and the biting it coulda been PG13, hel even that one guy caught by the lasers was a pretty bloodless death...
Also looking at some of the clips it also seems like they added elements of RE:outbreak with the random survivors added to the mix. Jill may be a second banana to Alice but the list of familiar elements they stand to toss in from the RE universe out-weighs even Milla Jovovich and will please fans of the games (assuming there are any truely left :P). Originally I thought we'd be lucky to see Jill and Carlos run through the back ground being chased by Nemesis for like half a second but to see them play as much of a role as they seem to was a surprise.
Also: the comercials show a bit of the slowmo bullets but Carlos seems to speak rather normally.

I completely understand the entertainment value in a movie so bad its funny but NOT when you pay $10 to see it in the theatre. I was hoping for a movie with at least the bare essentials: decent plot, decent acting, decent action, etc. and it failed in almost every level. It seriously sucked.

2 scenes in fact. And when the lictor killed Spencer, there was a ton of blood, also that blood was everywhere during the movie. and in a buch of utterances of f-uck, and you get a R rating.

The first resident evil movie was by default the best videogame movie IMO.....RE2 should maybe be better then the first...i really hope this one does well box office wise and maybe will spawn more good videogame movies. Who wouldn't love to see an amazing zelda movie?
epobirs
09-07-2004, 01:32 AM
I liked the first on its own merits just fine. Saying wasn't much like the game is criticizing it for the thing that made it a viable movie.
For anyone who hasn't figured it out: Video games do not make good movies. The things that make for a good game and the things that make for a good movie are mutually exclusive. THey may have elements in common such as audio-visual design and such but one is meant to be played while the other is meant to be watched. Strong narrative is not compatible with strong gameplay.
I'm very unlikely to see this in a theater as I rarely go to theaters at all anymore. Since this time a year ago I've seen exactly three movies in a theater that weren't free screenings. I just don't find theaters to be a good value anymore. I'd rather invest the money in a really good screen for viewing at home as well as gaming.

I disagree. The first Mortal Kombat was a good video game movie because it captured the narrative of the game. And to say that strong narrative is not compatible with strong gameplay seems to completely neglect classics like Metal Gear Solid that managed to amalgamate both forms into a great whole. I think the problem with most video game movies, as with most comic book movies, is that they often do not have the proper resources allocated to them to make it come out well. Video game movies need a Bryan Singer to come about and legitamize them the way that Singer did with X-men and basically single-handedly brought back comic book movies and showed that they could be done well AND be profitable. If more effort is spent on creating a good video game movie than it definately can be done.

Roger Ebert slayed this.
"The movie is an utterly meaningless waste of time. There was no reason to produce it, except to make money, and there is no reason to see it, except to spend money. It is a dead zone, a film without interest, wit, imagination or even entertaining violence and special effects."

"My next logistical puzzlement involves killing the zombies. They die when you shoot them. Fine, except Umbrella Corp. has developed some mutants who wear bulletproof armor. Zillions of rounds of ammo bounce off this armor, but here's a funny thing: The mutants do not wear helmets, so we can see their ugly faces. So why not just shoot them in the head? Am I missing something here? "

I like listening to ebert for reviews of movies he didn't like but it rarely effects my desire to see a movie, it's just for comedic effect. Critics are paid to critique movies, tear them arpart to their most elemental levels and tell you what they think is wrong with it. This isnt usually the way the average joe sees a movie. We go in wanting to be entertained and if the movie succeeds in this you go back and tell your friends it kicks ass or if it didn't you say it sucked.
This is the only kind of review that acctually effects my decision.
Dead of Knight
09-10-2004, 06:35 PM
Some spoilers, nothing that big though.
It's a miracle! I saw this movie at 2:45 P.M., and it is MUCH, MUCH better than the first one, which was horseshit. I came in expecting a movie of House of the Dead caliber (which I also saw in the first day for the same reason: to laugh at it), but I came out with a smile on my face. It doesn't really follow the storyline of the game, but a couple of key parts are intact. There is NO SEX OR NUDITY AT ALL except for topless hooker zombies and a boobie shot of a naked Milla in a tank. The fistfight between Milla and Nemesis isn't as nearly lame as it sounds. The only main problem I had with it was that while Nicholai was in it, he was a whiny redhead fuck that got killed by freakin dogs!
Oh, and for those who read the article in which the person who plays Jill said she tried to move like Jill did in the games... she succeeded, and it doesn't look stupid at all. One more thing.... is it possible that this movie is much better than the first simply thanks to Paul WS Anderson not being the director? Possibly....

Ok, I just got back from it, so I'll give my point of view:
First, the bad. The acting and dialogue seemed really bad, it almost felt like a dubbed foreign film. At times the film sounded like an old Argento film, which isn't a good thing. Second, the ending sapped some of the energy of the film. Finally, some of the fighting scenes were shot too close.
Now, the good. I really liked this fim! I though it was so much better than the first. There is no shoratge of action, or tension. The director knows his why around suspense/action film cliches. He sets you up thinking it's going to be one way, and goes another. I really enjoyed that. The film moves at a good pace, and has an interesting and , not overcomplicated (finally!) story. All the effects look good. Lots of guns are the icing on the cake for me. AvP didn't have enough weaponry for me; this film satisfies my cravings.
Bottom line; get out of the computer chair, grab some popcorn and red vines, and go see it.

Yeah the accents on some people were freakin horrible, but it didn't bother me too much considering there is the same exact problem in the game.
People really need to see this movie. There were only 7 people in the theater, which was the same as when I saw The House of the Dead the day it came out. And until the previews started, my boyfriend and I were the only ones there.
And checking on imdb, the black guy wasn't Omar Epps, it was Mike Epps. Probably his brother or something. Sure he was a stereotype in the movie, but he did not go overboard in the least, unlike most movies with stereotypical characters, and pretty much all of his jokes were amusing.
EDIT: Apparently Omar and Mike aren't related. Oh well.

How does "It is a dead zone, a film without interest, wit, imagination or even entertaining violence and special effects" not meet that criteria? You say you want to be entertained, but he flat out says he doesn't think the movie is entertaining on any level, logic problems and hammy acting aside. Not that the review would or should preclude you from eventually liking the movie anyway, but that would seem to give you the kind of opinion you are looking for.

Here's a useless fact but did you know Claires orignal was supposed to be Alice Walker. She was gonna be a biker chick who just happend to go to Raccoon City. I thought that they'd make one of the STARS guys in the flick Barry and I think the guy from on the roof look kinda familiar.

They need Claire and Chris in the next one.
I was thinking the same thing, maybe Rebecca too.
Saw the movie last night. I liked it, better than the first, except I HATED the camera. I wish I could grab the cameraman and tell him "stop moving so much!". Other than that, it was pretty good. Nemesis was incredible!

I enjoyed the first one and thought it was fairly decent so I think I'll check this one out. I really like the trailers for the movie, especially the first one with the regenerative age cream. After seeing Aliens versus Predator and The Village back to back, I feel that this can't be as bad. Heck it actually looks like a great action flick. Better than its B movie original. The previews seem to show that it takes more out of the Resident Evil universe, and seems to sort of go through the first three game (1-3nemisis) so it should be better. You can not tell me that the first Resident Evil isn't the best Video Game movie. Sure it was sort of a B type of a movie but it definently had the best story and action of them all. I hope they do in this movie like what they did with the Bourne Supremacy and make it more of a continuity than a straight sequel that you don't need to know any prior info. I'll probably see it later tonight.
P.S. the Punisher didn't suck. It was actually quite enjoyable and surprised me by how much I liked it.

I thought the movie was great. I liked the little nod to Code Veronica and Re:3 cuz some of the camera angles and were exactly like they were in the games. I wonder what they're gonna do with Alice tho cuz that ending was kinda weird.
Not to mention how they had Jill walk when she was in the basement of the school. Sideways creeping with two hands on the gun next to her hip. Cool stuff.
Nemesis was spot-on visually, though they didn't use him like the horror version of the Kool Aid man that he was in the game..
Overall, a dumb, but very fun movie.

Just got back from seeing it, and just as I thought, shit. Better than the first one, but just so scattershot. Basically it was dumb, dumb, dumb popcorn flick entertaining in some parts, cringe worthy a majority of the time (such as everytime Captain "bling-bling" black stereotype spoke).
Wrap your brain around this one: thunder and lightning in the the scene in the church on-going for several minutes, but when you see outside, there is no storm or rain. :roll:

RE: Apocalpyse was a horrible movie. I may be the minority on this one, but I felt the first movie was much better. Like NFG said, the camera kept moving around too much, especially during action/fight scenes. I also thought the the Jill Valentine character was poorly acted and seemed a bit tacked on. These are just some of the problems with the movie. Unfortunately there will most likely be a sequel.

Fuck, they need the WHOLE cast of the games in there, but you know it isn't going to happen.
Guardian_owl: Ever live in New England? If so, that would be the norm. I forget where Racoon City is supposed to be but...
And WildWop's Kool-Aid man comparison makes me :lol:

In the games, Racoon City is in the midwest, and we don't have freak thunder and lightning without a storm out here in Kansas :wink:

I thought the movie was not bad, dialogue could've used some work but the action made up for it. The only thing I didn't like was Nemesis at the end. Don't want to spoil it for others so won't go any further into it.

I just got back from seeing it, loved every second of it. Amazing how much better it is then the first movie. Easily an A movie for me. Loved the helmet view of the zombies ala Re3
