Current Events > Resident Evil Vendetta is probably the series' dumbest installment *spoilers*

(+) Yeah! (+)

Not counting the live action movies as they're not part of the game franchise/continuity and I've only seen the first years ago and bits and pieces of the rest randomly when they've aired on cable TV. But I'm sure if I watched them and counted them then one of them would take the crown.

Anyway Vendetta was pretty dumb. Easily tops RE6 as the silliest/stupidest installment of the series. Not that I was expecting a super good plot or anything but the first two CGI movies were pretty decent, good even, and I don't remember coming out of watching them thinking how dumb they were.

The only good part of Vendetta was the beginning with the mansion in Mexico.

The rest had really dumb moments like:

-some random guy "selling out" Leon and his team, then randomly showing up to ask for Leon's help only to die and serve as a mechanism for Leon/Chris to learn about the upcoming attack. Really convenient of him to show up just then. We don't get any sort of backstory as to who he was, or how/why he sold out Leon's team.

-Los Illuminados from 4 making a comeback but they only get one small mention

- Arias (arms dealer villain guy) stockpiling enough vaccine to cure everyone just in case his terrorist outbreak attack gets a little *too* bad (what terrorist does this). It doesn't make sense because his motivations seem to be to cause chaos/the world to burn so why would he have these on hand to ruin his plan

-Cerberus that are strong enough to behead BSAA/Breaking Bad fan in .5 seconds flat, and fast enough to outrun cars on the freeway and Leon's motorcyle.

-Leon not giving a fuck about collateral damage on the highway fighting said cerberus and being reckless enough that he probably indirectly caused a few deaths

-Arias being ridiculously good at fighting to the point that he would probably give Wesker a run for his money, and producing the series' most ridiculous fight scene of all time with Chris.

-Probably the dumbest moment of the whole movie, the vaccine mist actually completely curing zombified people despite them looking really messed up/wounded in zombie form.

I mean as over the top as they were the gunplay/fight scenes were fun to watch, and the Arias transformation was pretty cool, so it wasn't *completely* bad, but although I don't expect super good writing it should at least kind of make sense.

It's almost like the creators just came up with an idea of Chris and Leon fighting zombies in New York, and just made it happen.

Anyone else watch this?

Imagine living in the RE world. A world where any tinpot terrorist outfit can cause a major zombie outbreak with almost no effort.
