THe first RE was good, 2 was crap, 3 three was crappier. Like I said Paul Anderson needs to pull his head out and write something good like he did Event Horizon. Id hope they just have a new RE story or make RE4 based off of RE4 the game, but we all know that wont happen.

These movies are not good. Some of the games are.

They’re all called Resident evil, but the movies don’t follow the games they’re based on. So instead of continuing on with the way they’re going, why not try making one based on one of the best RE games – Isn’t that a better idea if they’re making another movie anyway?

Video Game Movies suck, but good ones will eventually come with 30-40 major video games currently in development. A few of them will actually break the trend and it’ll start a whole new genre of films similar to what Comic Book movies are doing now.

Some good points there dude, some of the characters are different to how they’re portrayed in the game. I have to disagree though on some of it though…..(spoilers) zombie sharks!, the tyrant!, Albert Wesker being the devious bastard that he is!, things were different to the game but I think that people would have been more forgiving if George made it, not only because it was George but because it’s a better story and it’s an adaption so it’s going to deviate.

Point taken about the daytime though! And Kristen Bell as Jill would be awesome

You said on page one…

“Since several of the video games that this franchise is apparently based on are actually good, why not make a movie like one of them and put that brand name to some good use?”

Are you serious, please name a video-game movie that has followed the actual game and has been good or successful(in any way)

I loved the franchise it’s based on Resident Evil but it’s not dumb-enough to steal what’s already been done and re-doing it for the screen, It’s Fresh, Original and Creative so as-long as some people here don’t have their say and Uwe Boll isn’t attached then they will still be Fresh, Original and Creative, so I and the true fans will continue to go and see the RE Movies.

With that said for the reboot(hopefully in the distant future) which seems to be happening more and more, I hope they call it “Bio Hazard”.

I hate it when people bring up the Romero script and say its soooo much better than what we got. In retrospect, yeah, it seems better because it actually has some familiar characters in it, but if that had been made instead of the Milla Jovovich vehicle, just as many people who be complaining.

Not one character from that script is anything like their video game counterpart, the scares are cheap, and the story deviates nearly as much as the final product. It takes place during the day, for crying out loud.

However, I wouldn’t be opposed to a proper reboot, as long as Kristen Bell gets the Jill Valentine role.

I totally agree, I was soo exited when the first one came out and then it turned out to have none of the story or atmosphere of the game…..and the fact the Gearge A Romero was fired from directing the first one after the games borrowed so much from his work = blasphemy!

I think they should reboot using his script http://www.dailyscript.com/scripts/resident_evil_romero.html – soooooo much better.

If any film needs a sequel it’s Silent Hill, base it on the second game and they’ll be laughing! that will be the benchmark for videogame movies if they do that right, a mature, thought provoking story

Please tell me 4 will be a reboot without Mila =))))

The thing about RE4, I don’t think the storyline would translate well onto the big screen. Kidnapping of president’s daughter? An evil little man? A giant fish?

It worked perfect in a video game but they’d have to tweak it in order to give it a proper representation on film.

RE5, as is, would work better on screen. BUUUUT, it would be just an average zombie action movie, which we’re getting a ton of.
