Resident Evil: The Final Chapter

Yep, Alice has another Movie coming out.

Hopefully I got the embedding right. Looks like we're going back to what's left of Raccoon City.

The Show Markup Help when you creates post shows how to embed videos correctly (plus preview post also show off the final results before posting).

Also, WHYYYYYYYYYYYY!?!?! Do people still care about these movies? Who is this movie marketed towards? Certainly not the fans of the actual Resident Evil series.

Got the video up. Thank you!

As for who it's marketed towards...Jovovitch fans?

That's a pretty small market there. Maybe it's aimed for fans of Phelous who enjoy his Resident Evil reviews that tear apart the film's incredibly bad plot . . . shit, I'm one of those targeted audience.

And there you have it.

Never played any Resident Evil games. Closest I've come to it is Parasite Eve.

I saw the first three movies. Never saw any of the ones after that.

I've seen all but the one with Leon and Ada. Once I see that, there'll be this one and then it goes back to hoping for a reboot of the series that's more horror than action.

Personally I rather have somebody make an adaption to Eternal Darkness. The challenge for that movie will be finding ways to screw with the audience sanity. Maybe get Duncan Jones on board, his resume shows he is more than qualify to make that movie.

Oh boy, I can't wait to see which R.E. character gets to play 2nd...3rd...56th fiddle to Alice!

Problem is, the "zombie virus spreading everywhere" plot has been done to death by now, so a reboot would have little novelty to offer. :x

And oh my god this series' finally coming to an end. It's a wonder there are still zombies around that Alice hasn't killed…

Well, I wasn't meaning a reboot would have to be a month after the next movie comes out. Next time zombie movies become a thing again.

Oh for fucks sake why won't RE just die out already?

The movies are all fuckawful except the first one, which was.... watchable I guess?

Hell, even when it comes to the rest of the franchise Resident Evil 4 (as in the fourth game) was the last time Resident Evil was relevant to pretty much anything (hell, it's probably the only entry I even like but YMMV.) Watching franchise's failed attempt to reinvent itself into Call Of Duty over the past few years has just been embarrassing, and the fact that Umbrella Corps and RE 7 are so obviously trying to ripoff Counter Strike and PT respectively shows they don't have a damn original idea left.

Just got back from the theater to tell you all how I felt. God I'm alone.

This movie took every fucking stupid route it possibly could. And they left the door open for more sequels.

As someone with a cursory knowledge of the source material this movie offends on every level. They kill Wesker in the most ball-busting manner possible for no logical reason than to reintroduce some asshole from the previous films.

Sooo, in short just skip the movie and play Resident Evil 7?

Cause I would rather do that as that game is basically Evil Dead in video game form . . . not counting the other Evil Dead video games.

Sounds like it.

And good riddance, I should add. I never played any of the RE games (closest I got to was watching a walk through for RE 4), but even I was aggravated with how little the movies had in common with the games.

The last time a movie called itself something resembling the Final Chapter, they made more. So if we never see another RE movie after this I will be surprised.

Never trust a title that reads "The Final Chapter". Cause one minute you are a physically deformed child who drowned in a lake, the next you are a hulking killer in a burlesques sack avenging your mother, then the next you found a cool hockey mask, then the "Final Chapter" you get cleved by Cory Feldman, then the next some paramedic pose as you with a grown up Cory being hinted to become the next you, then by the next you get resurrected thus dropping the whole Cory as you plot line, then by the next you fight Carrie for some reason, then by the next you take Manhatten (except not really), then by the next you literally go to hell, then in the future you become a killer cyborg (but oddly enough don't fight a Xenomorph), then by the next you get into a Love-Hate relationship with Freddy, and then finally everything is rebooted with no more future appearance . . . And then by the next you fight Leatherface, a Xenomorph, a Predator and a cast of random people including gods and ninjas.

Can't we just do a reboot about a creepy ass haunted house? You know, like that George Romero script floating around?

It says something that Final Chapter is a big critical flop with it trying to be this massive epic...homage to the director's wife, and the game which is a smaller, more intimate horror story is being praised as a success.

I mean, except that the Resident Evil movies have been Critic-Proof incarnate. FC is doing just fine at the box office. I wonder if the next one will start Milla Jonbonvovivich.

In his review Movie Bob said that the movies not directly adapting the plot of the games was actually a good thing. Do you think this might be why they make so much money?

If so, than we may as put that on the "Why We Failed As A Species" list right next to buggy big budgeted games and New 52/ANAD/Any Comic with "New" in the title (seriously that dates the books/team dramatically, stop using "New" to appear current).

On one hand the movies work as reckless action romps. Can't deny some of the fights are cool.

And the games started getting dumb too, so maybe the rising escalation of the films just foreshadowed it.

Which maybe means we'll get a faithful rebooted RE film in the near future, since RE 7 is apparently doing so well.

...The only reason I heard about this movie is because of the accident involving the Mad Max stuntwoman.

I remind people the second movie is about an American city being destroyed by a zombie plague followed by it being nuked as well as a trilogy of games which followed showing big budget blockbuster action movie tropes. Also, The Revelations games which the first is a world spanning conspiracy thriller about the Department of Homeland Security (err, FBA) being responsible for destroying a floating island city.

Saying Resident Evil the games would be smaller intimate stories is like saying the same about Call of Duty.

The RE movies were roughly every bit as epic as the games with the first about the Spencer mansion and the second about Racoon City.

Then again, I'm of the school you can like Mobile Suit Gundam (the games) and Gundam Wing (The movies).

I don't think that's what they were saying.

7 is a smaller, more intimate horror story that's allegedly been quite successful and less criticized, despite borrowing every horror trope it could and utilizing a new format that's pretty alien to the franchise in general, and being put on a new platform that's still in it's trial years.

You can like either or, but where the series turned around and went back to focusing on horror, the films just kept escalating the action and the intensity with each film.
