Resident Evil : Retribution
Got round to watching this, as a huge fan on the games and the previous films i thought i'd give me verdict on the film.
Overall as the latest film in the franchise it definatly feels like it's coming to an end, running out of good storylines that get the fans interested, in terms of character development Retribution is the best of the franchise for it, so many old and new faces from the franchise in this movie, however their seems to be too many people in this film, its almost like they've just shoved as many characters you can think of from the franchise in one serving and although that sounds good, its far too much, the one thing this film has done correctly is bringing in the in game character of Ada Wong, it's almost like they've literally pulled her from the game, and she's now become my favourite character, theirs some good 3D action sequences on par with Afterlife, rumour has it the next film will be the last in the franchise however i believe they should just scrap it and focus on maybe a reboot thats actually based on the games, i shall put in spoilers a few things if anyones interested to know what happens, other than that i'd give this film 5/10
and finally one thing i was dissapointed about,

Wesker, seems to have survived the events of Afterlife, and is now working as a good guyand no longer for umbrella in order to rescue whats left of humanity
Umbrella is now under controll of the Red Queen (the computer AI from the first movie, and this time round shes a nasty bitch
jill is a proper badass under umbrellas controll, but the bad "Rain", takes the crown for this films villain
and finally one thing i was dissapointed about,
their didn't seem, as far as i can recall any mention of chris or claire redfield from afterlife, hopefully they'll be back for the last installment

Afterlife was fantastic , so I just hope Retribution is as good.
REC is how you do a zombie movie
Basically, if you liked ANY of the previous RE movies, go see this one. I'd probably rank it 2nd best. Maybe 1st, maybe 3rd. Not sure. It's up there though. Go. Just go! :cool:
the acting is atrocious, i mean seriously bad. haha ada wong and jill valentine... people were laughing in the cinema.
the action as well is appalling. i'm sorry but slo-mo is what directors who can't direct use when it comes to action scenes. you never see spielberg, nolan, cameron use it... just hacks like paul ws anderson.
And roll on the final film
I still have a massive soft spot for them though. They are stupid, but good fun.
Apart from the third one. That was just shit.
Seeing zombies sprinting like normal people really doesn't work for me I do have to say.
It opens with Alice flying out of the water and back onto the ship. How on earth could you think that was running forwards?
But yes the music from the movie is once again brilliant. I just LOVE this theme - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcR1S-NOzLQ
I agree with the comments about there being too many people involved with big characters, I also didn't like the ending as it was very predictable.
I really liked most the movie though, the fight scenes were excellent.
