Current Events > Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City wasn't bad.( Major Spoilers!!!)

(+) Yeah! (+)

Rented it on demand thru AMC, it was better than the previous live action movies.

I'm glad they blended the story of the first two games into one story, it felt natural and for the most part stayed true to both games.

Leon was cast perfectly as was Jill,Claire and Chris.

The story was great, the cgi wasn't as bad as some people claimed it was. It felt cheesy at sometimes but gave off the tone like from the games.

It had humor, suspense, action and horror which is what the games are.

I knew Wesker would survive somehow and as soon as Ada was shown, I knew it was her. I really hope it gets a sequel despite the negative opinions or reviews.

We finally got a Resident Evil movie that's true to the games unlike the previous live action movies, there wasn't an original character shoehorned in.

Rarely do movies based on videogames stay true to games but this certainly did.

I was expecting it to be a lot worse tbh

I wasn't because I already knew it was better than the previous movies.

I was surprised at how well the stories of 1&2 blended so well together in the movie

nah the movie was definitely incredibly bad, and i kinda liked the last series so i have a tolerance for bad movies but this one was on another level.

what you call blended:

i just saw as a mish mash of cool moments and story beats from the first 3 games actually, as well as a code veronica cameo with the ashford twins for some weird reason like many other things handpicked from the game, blended together without any real character development or rhyme and reason except that it progresses in a linear fashion as pointed out by the weird clock.

only real credit i can give it are some of the sets are great and some of the zombie makeup/CGI effects.

also, making leon an incredibly bumbling idiot hits me pretty hard.

Yeah a little bit of Code Veronica was thrown in but it wasn't bad and I didn't really see any elements from 3 thrown in at all.

There was plenty of character development, Leon went from being this scared rookie who had no idea what was going on to the badass Leon we all know.

It wasn't that bad really and certainly better than the previous live action movies. I enjoyed every moment of it, really felt like I was watching the games play out.

uh them(whoever "them" is in the movie) nuking the town is one of the plot points of RE3.

Ok, still doesn't mean it was a bad movie. Unlike the previous movies, this one stayed true to the lore.

Plus I haven't played 3 in a long time.

I mean, it was pretty not good. That said, I did at least have some fun with it.

It was a ton better than the shit that came before. I didn't want to die the entire time watching it. Also Leon was hot and the humor wasn't embarrassing like it was in the last ones.

Like i said previously, I enjoyed every moment of the movie. The characters were cast perfectly, Jill was fine as hell too. I kinda felt sorry for Wesker at first after he was shot but then I was like, "wait never mind he's a bad guy and abandoned his friends".

Loved seeing one of the lickers.

After watching the new Matrix I can definitely say I enjoyed Raccoon City more

it was better than the previous live action movies.

The bar is so low there that it's hardly an accomplishment.
