[quote name='punqsux']dude, if you enjoy low expectations, by all means. however resident evil was butchered. had nothing to do with the storyline of the games, the only reason it had the resident evil name was to get fans of the game to go see it.[/quote]
Regardless it still had numerous series staples. It wasn't just a case of an generic movie being slapped with a RE title on it, it was a side story based off the RE games. I would prefer seeing an original adaptation to seeing it based directly off one of the games. My two main gripes with the film would be that too many people got killed off early in to the movie, and that they dropped the Zero Hour sub title. Supposivly it was to avoid confusion with RE0, however they justr confused even more people by simply naming it RE.
BTW I didn't have low expactations, I just knew RE wasn't going to be the ultimate movie. I wanted all out action, some zombies, tons of gore, and little-to-know actual story. Needless to say, RE delivered everything I was looking for.
