     This movie was terrible.  Why bother anymore?  The last Resident Evil was such a slap in the face of gamers it should have been burned.  Now, years later some idiot thought it would be cute to revamp the dead horse, but this time in 3D.  Everything about RE4 was wrong.  the acting was a joke, the story was a complete rip off of Escape from NY, and having not one man in on the good action was not only very sexist, but beyond cheesy.


     What i hated about RE4 most was the inconsistencies and blatant rip off of other movies.  Case In Point #1:  Early on in the film Alice loses her powers and thanks Wesker ( a terrible Shawn Roberts looking like a white morpheus ) for turning her human again, only to crash the aircraft into the side of a mountain, and walk away unhurt.  I call bullshit on that.  Case In Point #2:  After ripping off Escape from New York and the Matrix, we the viewers are treated to Alice loading a pair of shotguns with quarters.  Next we see alice with the shotguns on her back running through a zombie gauntlet and then pull the shotguns and fire them without a single quarter falling out of the barrel while she pulled them.  Bullshit again.

     I won't even comment on the acting.  OK I will, but only to point out how terrible it was.......

Alice:  Totally Pathetic attempt at any sort of action hero.

Claire:  Yeah who was the idiot who gave Ali Larter this role?!?!  Hey Ali, note to self: Stop trying to pass as any sort of actor/actress cause that boat left looooong ago

Chris:  Channing Tatum called and wants his look and style back.

Shawn Roberts: Nice touch on ripping of the Matrix and making Morpheus white.

     It also must be said that the production sets looked like they were bought wholesale at the "Look Futuristic" store, because everything about them was a total visual abortion.  Oh, and did i mention how much the Matrix was ripped off?  Every damn thing that the matrix did in 3 movies, this piece of shit tried to do in one.  Oh I am so sorry.  My friend pointed out that they also ripped of blade 2.  See?  Even a guy not in this f'd up industry can see garbage when he see's it.

     The zombies were almost not in the movie.  It took almost an hour  from the first on screen zombie attack to the next.  Even then the zombies were tiresome and totally contrived.  I felt it looked like somebody fudged on the budget and decided to make all of the dead people look the same.  I mean, isn't this the balls of the franchise?  zombies?  So why take the only remaining good thing about this muck, and not hype that up?

     Last thing I'm gonna say is even the decent 3D couldn't save this film.  I really liked the 3D, but kept getting distracted by the stop and start motion rip off ala matrix.  Do yourself a favor, ignore this movie.

Mr. what? (no stars)
