Why are companies hiring directors that never played any of the games for shows or movies they're adapting from? I also heard this was going to involve a farm. Capcom originally wanted to be as away from the games as possible. Which is why they didn't stay with George A. Romero. After the original live action Resident Evil movies.
We had a movie and a show that wasn't great. Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City rushed adapting Resident Evil 1 and 2 was a terrible idea. Resident Evil Netflix show stated up to the events of the show everything happened. It sure didn't look that to me. Like Stephen King's It the focus kept shifting between past and present events.
Who really thought it was a good idea to name a family after a famous Resident Evil villain? Why can't anyone properly adapt Resident Evil in anything live action? I know it's not because there's too much zombie stuff around. Of course, people are obsessed with zombies for a long time. It seems only the original live action Resident Evil movie sorta got the idea right.
It wasn't necessary perfect itself but I easily could come back to rewatch. Resident Evil series always had this deep lore with corruption. Just going by this trailer, I don't even think that's in the movie. According to the director, this is going to be more about constant action with zombies. To me, that's more in line of Left 4 Dead series.
Left 4 Dead series, you play as one of four survivors working together against hordes of zombies. Eventually gotten a spiritual successor called Back 4 Blood. Now there's constant action with a lot of zombies. I really don't get how this suddenly became an Resident Evil movie. Although I have a few possible ideas on that.
Which also hurts the story having any real chance to work. The trailer itself almost felt like something else than Resident Evil. It wasn't Silent Hill thankfully though. The movie felt more like several indie horror games. I'm very sure majority of them are really worth playing.
You know a video game adaptation is bad it's nothing like the source material. Even the famous bad live action Super Mario Brothers movie had things. It's debatable if this might actually be worst than Tekken 2 or Mortal Kombat: Annihilation? I won't know until I see this Resident Evil movie.
This is less Resident Evil that failed Power Rangers reboot movie if that makes any sense? The trailer ends with the guy running down a street. We kept seeing zombies falling hard into vehicles. I felt Paul W. S. Anderson's The House of the Dead movie going to be a little better as well as slightly better adapted.
Resident Evil has a variety of monsters than just zombies. The characters on both sides had incredible depth to them. I highly doubt that's in the upcoming Resident Evil movie. I really don't wanna say this was originally an unrelated zombie movie. Somehow Capcom made a deal to turn the film into another Resident Evil movie.
I felt The Banana Splits Movie the horror one was way better. Despite it's a horror twist to a classic 70s show. Resident Evil has so much more than most zombie franchises. The fact this isn't based on any of the games whatsoever. I already know fellow Resident Evil fans are going to trash it. Majority of them really wants movies that follows the games.
At the same time, they could be some changes as long it doesn't suck. I hate to say this Resident Evil movie only giving me huge red flags!!! I still can't believe Capcom backing it up I'm serious. Capcom doesn't even need to milk the franchise it's a very successful game franchise to begin with. I guess we could say the milk turned sour with this Resident Evil movie.
Right now even the original live action Street Fighter movie out done this crap. The movie had one of my personal favorite lines ever in a video game movie. "The day I graze your village was the most important day of your life. But for me it was just Tuesday." Postal movie was notably closer to the games than this!!!
Despite that had one of the absolute worst directors to do video game movies. Resident Evil should've had a different title altogether. Also before anyone else going to say it. Why can't they add a sub title to help differ the movie from many similar titled Resident Evil stuff? Just sticking to the live action Resident Evil movies and a show.
Including this we have three of them simply titled Resident Evil wow how creative!!! This not being based on anything Resident Evil means little to no real fan service. The movie automatically going to feel like a huge waste of everyone's time. I could pretend it doesn't exist, I'll be way happier!!! I won't even be surprise people really dislike this Resident Evil movie.
Now I heard the director's previous movie Weapons was good. But this is a well known video game franchise. By now, it's truly amazing most of these directors doesn't properly understand the franchise. There better be more than just zombies is all I'm saying. Both Doom movies are automatically better than this!!!
You are better off watching George A. Romero's Resident Evil. A successful documentary on the first canceled Resident Evil movie. Yes I seen parts of that script, it would've been a great Resident Evil movie. To me this felt like those bad CD-i Zelda games to The Legend of Zelda franchise. I wouldn't be surprise it's reputation ends up matching those.
Resident Evil was something truly unique. You can't simply recreate it but there's so many indie horror games inspired by the franchise. I felt majority of those is way better than this upcoming dumpster worth of zombie crap. Honestly, I'm going into it hoping Capcom doesn't make a franchise with this movie.
If they end up doing that I'll lose respect for them. They should already know the fans don't support this Resident Evil movie. Let's put in another way, Shaun of the Dead was a great parody on the concept. I don't think this Resident Evil movie going to do anything to stand out. Considering this is Resident Evil we're talking about here.
In all honestly, that's going to be a rather difficult pill to swallow. Maybe it's failure will get Capcom to listen to their fans more often. I really can't support something that isn't actually Resident Evil. I felt this Resident Evil movie going to bomb in a huge way. If there's any positive reviews they been paid off. Resident Evil is going to be a movie that's going to further sink the franchise.
The games are doing incredibly well right now. The very last thing they need is this to happen. Capcom can't seem to get a proper live action Resident Evil movie or show together. They know Resident Evil way better than Konami knows Silent Hill. Which really speaks volumes when you think about it. The last thing I wanna say is screw this Resident Evil movie let it die!!!
