I went into this movie expecting to give it at least an 8/10. I read the reviews and they described it as a "fun" movie with cool gore, hot chicks, and a booming soundtrack. I love movies like that so I couldn't wait to see it. I went last night expecting to love it but I must say I was really disappointed. The main problem I had with it was that it took forever to get interesting. It was ok but not much was going on, nothing to keep me glued to the screen and entertained anyway. At one point I actually thought "shit, I think there's a whole hour left yet." But once people started dying it got a little better. In fact, that's one thing I loved about the movie - the violence. It was so awesome. The first main killings that happen with those laser light things was absolutely awesome and very memorable. There's nothing like seeing a body get sliced by lasers in perfect pieces. Call me sick but I totally dug it. And then I also loved the cool looking zombies, they were so disgusting but so cool. But I must say the zombie dogs were my favorite, they absolutely kicked ass. They were scary looking and scary sounding. For me, the violence was definitely the highlight of the movie. I thought Milla Jovovich was really cool too. And Michelle Rodriguez was good at acting pissed, like usual.
Resident Evil definitely looks GREAT. It wasn't as much fun as I expected, but that's probably because my expectations were set too high. Once it gets going it's pretty good. Could have been better but still good. I plan on seeing it again on DVD, I might like it even more then. One thing that kept me from enjoying it is that these damn tall people had to sit right in front of me and there was nowhere else to sit. So I had to watch the movie with two huge heads in my way, NOT FUN!!!
I can't decide wether or not to give it a 6/10 or 7/10, so I'll give it a letter grade and decide between the 6/10 or 7/10 when I see it again on DVD.
Grade: B-
