posted my opinion before, and these
are from friends/family who saw it.
essentially, there were 5 types:
1. those who read the book(s). they are fans and might see it again.
2. teenagers who did not read the book and did not like this boooring movie.
3. children who did not understand much, but liked going to see any movie.
4. women in general did not like it. especially my two sisters and their daughters.
4. fathers who were dragged to the movie under duress. they used profanity afterwards.
When I was young I bought it on DVD to watch because gladiators. Boy was I disappointed. The way I remember it those fight scenes were some real stinkers. They had better film duels in the 1930s! :person_facepalming:
Since you’re our resident expert (pun intended ) on Resident Evil, how would you rank the SEVEN movies of the franchise? I’m not a huge fan of this genre, so if you could pick just one or two movies you’d say are the best of the Resident Evil series, what would they be?
I liked it! Better than I expected. Of course, highly disappointing that this is only part one… leaving us hanging. And it’s quite long. A few things depicted differently than I hoped. But overall… quite good & respectful of the book.
If you’re only gonna watch two, watch the 1st two (RE, and RE: Apocalypse). IMO those are the best. Hard to put one over the other.
The 1st one introduces everything so if you don’t know what it’s about, you kinda need to see it.
They’re all good though.
Very good movie. Scary, heartbreaking, it hits you like a train. 8.5/10
Not entertaining or funny. Sad, brutal life many of us don’t know. Lilja 4-ever
Lilya 4-ever looks interesting - I’ll try to see that one
Jim Jarmusch is the Todd Rundgren of US filmmaking. I was impressed when I saw “Stranger Than Paradise,” back in 1984, but I had not seen another one of his movies (except for “The Dead Don’t Die”) until I recently saw “Paterson,” and again I was impressed. I have to see “Down By Law” one of these days.
Cool - thanks! Sometimes with a long running series like this, there can be significant improvements in production and story writing such that the original feels dated and lackluster. Thanks!
EDIT: Saw RE #1. Meh… not for me. Not my style of movie.
