Anyone See The New Resident Evil Movie?

Not me. But I was reading the 1 star reviews about it on IMDb. The rest seem to be made up to deliberately give the movie a very high score.

Capcom just needs to stop. And I know they have no say in the movies. But regardless, just STOP!

 

I haven’t but it does seem to have good reviews on Rotten Tomato site.
It seems having a main character who’s not in the games is a positive thing now.

 

Capcom liked the 2002 movie enough to copy the lazer hallway, which then resurfaced in TUC and some of the sequels to the movie. Plus, I thought the story, despite the changes, wasn't bad. They kept the premise mostly the same with a team entering a house and finding a lab with creatures, viruses, and traps. But I am not sure the new movie has anything akin to that.

I do think we have gotten to the point where anything in horror media has ran out of ideas. Or a series just becomes more of a snoozefest the more it progresses, with more filler than what goes between two slices of bread.

Sort of like how TWD (not the spin-offs) ended up dragging on for ages. Went from being about the hardships of Rick Grimes and co, to include hundreds of characters along the way that I just never cared for, as either they were boring, or they did not survive for very long to get to know them. Gave up watching it in 2018, I think, and now I don't particularly miss it. So I get a similar vibe with RE games.

I feel like if I were to miss a new game at launch, I will be able to play catch up at my own pace shortly into the future, and not be able to see what all the fuss was about to begin with. Which is not a good sign if you were once a fan who used to rush out to buy the newest entry, and you're seeing that there is a concerning difference in the vibe you have.
