I gave that other Resident Evil Film a chance and thought it was solid hopefully this is way better a watch for me.

I quite liked the movie but it for sure had some flaws. I did like how faithful they were to some of the scenery. Like the RPD station scenes felt like they were taken right out of the game for me. I think I'm going to go in with an open mind and try not to compare it with with games too much. I tend to enjoy them more that way.

Is this the one thats like an all female cast?

Make me care about this World and it's Characters going through what I saw in the Trailer. Achieve that Goal and maybe you have something here.

I couldn't figure out if it looked good or not but there's a lot going on action wise, that's for damn sure. I just hope the story is enjoyable.

Looks like shit, I’m angry. Legit angry. I love RE too much.

I love Resident Evil as much as the next person, but there's been more than enough shitty Resident Evil live-action stuff to just shrug off at this point.

I enjoyed the 2002 movie and Welcome to Raccoon City but they are nothing like the games really. The newest one had some good moments, and they used some game locations pretty well but a lot of the cast was a bit of miss for me.

I would rather them make their own stories than ruin the classic ones.

I'm not gonna lie, when I first read that one of them would be named Jade, I marked like a bitch.

Anyway, what I really wish they would do is a series that is like The Umbrella Conspiracy novel, where they touched a little on what happened before the events of the game. I really think it would be awesome to go that route with a show. I have had that idea in my mind, have a story that leads up to what we know from the games so we can get to know all the characters really well, since we mostly knew a lot of the Alpha team, and just mostly Rebecca from Bravo team. Just have the show with them doing other missions, whatever, just stuff that leads up to them investigating the cannibalistic stuff, then have a cliffhanger at the end of season 1 where Bravo team has gone out and is missing, end it with Alpha finding the helicopter smoke, then you got an entire second season that goes through the discovery of the mansion, etc. Lets say have 2 seasons per game, with the first half doing a 'before the game story' kinda thing where we are introduced to the characters, have little stories here and there of their lives, then second half (meaning second season for that particular game), have the events of the game.

That is how I would do it, anyway.

As a RE hardcore fan, I can't get excited for this.
