'Evil' indeed
24 January 2005
What an appropriate subtitle, as the fact that this movie debuted at #1 and made almost $24 million in its first weekend of release is a sure sign that the end of the world is near. The first "Resident Evil" film was a misguided mess. The video game actually had an appropriate plot that was easily transferable to film, but writer/director/cinematic nightmare Paul W.S. Anderson jettisoned it for an unoriginal and boring zombie-fest. Anderson isn't directing this time, but he still holds a stake in this terrible film as the screenwriter. A laughable plot, zero character development and horrendous acting are key reasons to stay away from this one, with the main reason being it's simply just not entertaining.
