i haven't been consistently active on here in forever but. hello fellow Resident Evils how do we feel about welcome to raccoon city

#spoilers to follow in here #i thought it was bad. but i expected it to be bad so?? its not like i was disappointed #pretty much met expectations #i've never seen the OG live actions w alice or w/e just the cgi films #and infinite darkness #and i mean. i liked this better than infinite darkness just bc it was more interesting #but i think they really bit off more than they could chew trying to combine 1 and 2 #make a 0/1 movie and a 2/3 movie if you have to combine shit. but 1 and 2 together... is really tough #i think it suffers a lot because it's so short and there are too many characters and concepts to introduce at once #PLUS having to restructure so much just kinda makes everything fall apart #avan jogia is still cute though. he was never not going to be #the rewrite of wesker's character was also so messy. and jill's entire character is sacrificed to give all her traits to claire for some re #-ason #i also would've been a lot happier had they swapped chief irons out for marvin #bc there's never time to get into all of irons' business but i fucking hate that man #marvin is chill and i'd be fine with him having some fun screentime #also cutting out barry was dumb. making lisa trevor a ''good guy'' was dumb #wouldve given literally anything to have a single tyrant in this movie #but yeah i mean at the end of the day. its got some bad jokes in it and maybe one or two good ones if you squint. the sets are really cool #rewrites aren't done super well. some bad dialogue. fighting scenes.... god #the scene with chris and the lighter..... why...... #it's not ruining my life just because it exists though. it's just another bad resident evil movie idk why people are so up in arms about it #video game movies are always bad. and resident evil is ALREADY very cheesy and silly a lot of the time. perfect formula for a b movie #regardless. i would buy it on dvd for $5 just because it was still fun to watch #it's like the percy jackson movie. it got literally everything wrong that it possibly could've. BUT. if you pretend its not about RE... #it's almost a good time #ALSO. the shot for shot recreation of the tape from code veronica was a win for me #because i like that game even though i hate playing it #i just hope wtrc makes enough money that we get a code veronica movie. cause alfred ashford babe you were made for the big screen... #OH GOD. THE END CREDIT SCENE LMFAO
