Admittedly it can be a fun to watch overlong music video at times thanks to some good fight choreography. In other words it’s a mess of a story held together by bullets and explosions that plays like an overlong music video. Fan favourites Leon Kennedy, Barry Burton, and Ada Wong are chucked into a nonexistent story that also retreads old ground with characters from the first film. Guilty of the same shameless use of characters from the source material as Resident Evil: Apocalypse, this fifth entry in the series is a barrel scrapping story in every sense. Isaacs have a feud during Resident Evil: Extinction? Did they just forget everything that came before this sixth film? This should probably be bottom, but I’m such a fan of the games what they did in Apocalypse was unforgivable.ĭan: Rarely do you see a film open with such slick direction and promise that then falls apart faster than a rotting decrepit corpse. If there was always an antivirus why didn’t the Red Queen just unleash that in the first film rather than kill everything? Why does the laser corridor no longer do the impossible to survive grid whilst Milla Jovovich and Iain Glen fight? Why is one of Iain Glen’s clones a religious zealot? Where the feck are Chris Redfield, Ada Wong, K-Mart, and Leon Kennedy? Didn’t Wesker and Dr. The action is barely watchable, and the whole story is just bollocks. It proceeds to go bonkers with the clone element introduced in previous instalments, and continues to throw in unknown actors into vanilla roles simply to be picked off one at a time to the tune of who cares. Maybe I missed something but it completely rewrites the story of Retribution which is kind of unforgivable if you aren’t going to disregard it as an entry into the series. Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (2017)ĭan: What a joke of an entry into the films franchise, but thankfully it’s the last (fingers crossed). I have a lot of time for this franchise and after the relative success of the first film it was very hard to see how messed this up so much.ħ. They tried to introduce characters such as Jill Valentine who looked and played like a fan girl in cosplay and then they decided to ruin Raccoon City by setting this mess of a film within it’s walls. Nemesis was meant to be a threatening and intimidating presence, instead they gave him a conscience and some form of will power. Rich: This film took all the best bits of the early Resident Evil games and decided to mash them all together and take a massive dump on all of it. Unfortunately it’s just a horror of a film. Compounding these issues is that with a setting of Raccoon City, and a villain like Nemesis, it should have been a good horror film. Mix the complete disregard for the source material with some unwatchable shaky direction and you have yourself the worst entry in the Resident Evil franchise. Nemesis, one of the game series best villains, is reduced to a joke of a character that doesn’t elicit anywhere near the same fear as he did the first time we saw it. Resident Evil: The Final Chapter marks the end of the current franchise, so to celebrate such an event join Dan and Rich as they rank all Resident Evil films to date live-action and animated.ĭan: Where the first film in the franchise decided to do something a little different from source material, Resident Evil: Apocalypse absolutely butchered it.
