The Shrine

I had this startling revelation while watching this trailer. I can't say "This isn't a faithful movie adaptation of Resident Evil" anymore, because after playing RE5, and seeing RE6 in action....it is. -_- In kind of a come full circle kinda way, these movies are faithful to the source material and...are...the best...video game movies? *Head explodes*

Well, the movies (RE) all suck...isn't it more fair to say "these movies are faithful to the source material and...are...the most successful...video game movies?". And then to break it down further (my revelation while writing this...), isn't it more fair to say the limited success has absolutely nothing to do with the game ip and confusing japanese source material but instead because it features zombies?

When has a movie with any sizable budget featuring zombies failed? Shawn of the Dead... Land of the Dead... Dawn of the Dead... 28 days/months later...

On a personal note, while I will see the RE movie (as much for Milla as the zombies) I am more excited for Silent Hill. Imo, it's the "best" videogame movie so far. Trailer coming soon I hope.

FINALLY! After 10 years, Eric realizes that the first two RE movies are good. Stubborn bastard, took you long enough! :-)

There is not a knife long enough to stab you right now. ;p

You admitted I was right, it'll all be worth it :-)

I lost the plot of this entire thread the minute someone claimed the 2nd resident evil movie was...good...

It was. You must still be concussed with your futile attempt to talk reason into Seek over in Gamethought. You'd better get to the hospital, I fear you may be hemorraging in the brain cavity. Don't worry, you live in Canada, it's free :-)

Damnit Zeus, it was not! ARGH.

Heh. You're trying to deny it but know you can't :-)

For the record: I'm a little concerned about 600 people working on RE6 myself. That's A LOT of hands in the pie....

Shame I can't find any of the truly stupid portions of RE2 on youtube, but whatever...I can't call RE2 "good" by any standard. You can drive a truck through the plot holes (source material is silly but no excuse) and the acting is terrible.

You know how many movies you can drive a truck through the plot holes that are still good? Sometimes, movies are good because they're just fun to watch
