Just saw Resident Evil Apocalypse again, after seeing all these previews for the new RE film.
Just so it's not a big surprise, I don't like them. Even as stand-alone films, if you stripped all canon characters and associations with RE, they still wouldn't be any good but despite the good RE name being dragged through ever increasingly excrement filled mud, that's not my big problem with the films (or at least just this one).
I'm a big Jill fanboy. Huge fanboy is me, to the point that I used to dislike Claire for not being Jill (I have since become nicer to Claire but Jill is still my Fave.)
Big gripe one? Hey, let's treat Jill like crap for no reason! They took their Mary Sue, Alice, and crammed her square character into this round franchise and I'm supposed to like this? Nuh-uh, homie don't play that, to quote Homie the Clown.
Secondly, the girl who played Jill, while not unattractive, had too much make-up. I'm just nit-picking but her eye-liner (or mascara, I'm a guy, I don't know) bugged me to no end.
Also, my big buddy Nemesis got the shaft too. Nemesis is pretty much unstoppable. Everyone knows that, from your videogame playing grandmother to your best friend. He shares a special place with Pyramid Head in my heart as a literal juggernaut, if not a Determinator. I'm all for Bio-enhancements turning women into destructive forces. I'm an anime fan, I've seen it, but really? You're gonna stab Nemesis once and crush him with a helicopter and call it a day? That's an affront.
So, I am not looking forward to this next film. You're just throwing RE things in a blender, movie people, and hoping something delicious comes out.
And the 3D thing? Also not gonna make it any better. You forget it's even 3D 10 minutes after the movie starts and it doesn't even matter.
I'm very late to the party in spewing distaste but I got here. Hope to update more but this is it for now.
Later.
