An average movie

Posted : 5 years, 5 months ago on 23 November 2018 10:04

I wasn’t expecting much from this flick but since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, to be honest, I have to admit that I was actually slightly better than the tedious previous installement. Indeed, it was actually pretty neat that Alice was going back to Racoon City and especially to the Hive, 16 years after the first instalment. Still, it doesn’t mean that it was a good movie, far from it I’m afraid. I mean, sure, after all these years, Milla Jovovich still looks really lovely and she still can kick some major ass but I wish I would see her doing something else after all these years. In fact, I was actually disappointed by the action scenes. It’s not that they were really bad, I was more bothered by the fact that they were rather poorly edited with some really annoying quick cuts. Seriously, as a result, some of the scenes were borderline unwatchable. Another thing that disappointed me was the supporting characters. For example, it was nice that Ruby Rose was added to the mix but her character was barely developed and the other characters were even less interesting. Anyway, to conclude, even if this movie was not as bad as I expected, it was still pretty weak and I don’t think it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.

Resident Evil: The Final Chapter review

Posted : 7 years, 1 month ago on 17 March 2017 09:15

I've enjoyed the Resident Evil movies. Who cares that it's not that much like the games. That's what the games are for. Besides that I love Milla Jovovich so I'm kind of biased. Sure the movies aren't perfect, but they are a whole lot of fun. The first one of course being the best one. Anyways it says Final Chapter as they assume this will be the last one, but really you can never be too sure even when it's confirmed. If they do make another one though there will almost surely be an entirely new cast. Anyways I have been really wanting to see this one despite many saying it's trash and what not. I just appreciate that it's still Paul W.S. Anderson and it wraps the whole story. It's interesting that he only skipped out on Apocalypse and Extinction which are my least favorites honestly. So let's see if it's still entertaining or as crappy as they say.

Well I have to admit that it could have been better. Of course I still thought it was fun anyways. The opening recap was a little silly, but hey it got us a few glimpses of the previous characters I've liked. I thought that a lot of the deaths were a little weak and quick compared to others. I also wish they had brought all the characters who were still alive back for this to really make it a worthy sequel. I did like the new characters like Abigail, Razor, and Christian. The story was alright, but I found it at times a little predictable. I was kind of disappointed with how the movie ended as well. If you are going to call it the Final Chapter is it necessary to have an open ending!? I did like the stuff when they were in the HIVE, but it could have had something besides one scene relating it to the first movie. Anyways it's a decent sequel despite the flaws.

So to wrap it up. I liked the new characters. I liked catching up with the few old characters we knew, but I wish they also brought us the rest of the surviving characters for a more full experience. The story was a little predictable and the deaths could have been more entertaining as well. It could have been much better, but it's not my least favorite of the series. I thought the second one was a bit too silly in some aspects. Although I will be honest I get a kick out of these even the ones that weren't as good. If you are a big fan of the movies you will be satisfied. As for the casual viewer this will be just another boring action infection film.
