I kinda liked the first movie actually. This is not on my list of things to watch though.

By the way, to me Other M was just fair for the first six hours, but from there and out it was pretty darn awesome.

Funny, I actually think first movie was the best. And then they got worse with each movie. But I've accepted the fact that Bob doesn't really know much about movies, or games.

I'd have to disagree. I didn't like Extinction half as much as the first two. Can't stand the 3D gimmick so thats certainly not going to get me to go see it.

I am surprised he brought up Other M in this review. That game really wasn't all that good, and I hate how now everyone hates the first person view of the Prime series. It worked excellently for those titles. Sure Metroid works well, as well, as sidescroller, but not in the way Other M did it :/

I'll probably see this one just because I've seen the others.

As far as the review, it's kinda what I expected. Not praising but not putting it down. Good review. The Jill Sandwich joke at the end did make me chuckle for some reason.

Should I see this in 3D or 2D. 3D gives me a minor headache, but Resident Evil is my favorite movie series. If they put that much effort into the 3D I would want to see it in 3D.

Ah, so I'm not the only you thought Extinction was the best of the lot so far. Going to see this tomorrow, looking forward to it a little more after this review.

As for the post-credits teaser, given recent comments by Anderson, I think I have a pretty clear idea of who it's going to be.

I completely disagree with him, my favorite is the first one, followed by the second, and I didn't like the third one at all.

But eh, c'est la vie.

Am I the only one who thinks that Milla Jovovich isn't even remotely attractive? She looks like a reject barbie.

The Resident Evil movies have been getting BETTER??
Uh, no? The shift from survival-horror to cliche' action movie didn't sit well with me, and I'm not even a fan of Resident Evil. At least Movie Bob gets the premise right: "I have a sexy wife, and I want the world to know it!"

That's the only thing that the movies are about. So long as they keep making box office money though, we can expect to see more.

"Get off your high horse about 3D"

Never had one.
3D is a gimmick, and nothing more.

He's being provocative. Other M did the impossible by ruining Samus Aran's character portrayal by having her contradict everything that defined her up to that point.

But!

But...the gameplay itself (minus the "Where's Waldo" segments) was pretty damn good.
Just get better writers, ok Nintendo?

I really don't think Movie Bob should be telling anyone to get off [b/]their[/b] high horses. Also, 3D causes me intense pain in my ears because I, like many people, already where glasses and wearing two pairs at once feels horrible for next to no benefit. Also, the RE movies have been exponentially worse with each iteration (this coming from someone who never even played the games), and Milla Jovovich (I think that's how you spell it) couldn't pull off genuine drama to save her life.

What makes me curious about this film is the presence of Wesker.
The worst game character ever created with the worst speeches ever written. Wesker is so bad, but so bad he actually ends up being awesome!

Look at the climax of his career, Resident Evil 5, neo rip off + Chris Redfielf's evil ex. It's the peak of the camp aesthetic.

It was a very good review... until you mentioned that the atrocious Metroid Other M is better than Metroid Prime.
Don't bother, MovieBob doesn't know much about video games.
Since he is The Game Overthinker as well, I beg to differ.

meh its not Chris Redfield if the ratio of muscle to the rest of him isn't 5:1
Maybe it is the good looking Chris, from every other Resident Evil Game ever made?

I honestly don't see the drop dead gorgeous persona Bob seems to see about Milla Jovovich. She doesn't really look attractive.
