Oh, I got this real easy. Resident Evil, the first one


Zilla Fieri
Bonus points because it's a video game movie, if you ask me

Zilla Fieri
The first one actually made decent attempts at being a horror thriller and is a movie I can go back to real easy

Zilla Fieri
It was action-y first and foremost, but it's a fun movie

Zilla Fieri
First of all, it played it smart by having no tie-in to existing characters. Everyone was new so there was no issue of how the movie would handle them

Zilla Fieri
I bring this up because the sequels handled them all terribly

oh man the first resident evil movie was fun

𝒸𝒽𝑒𝑒𝓇𝓁𝑒𝒶𝒹𝑒𝓇🎀
It was!

𝒸𝒽𝑒𝑒𝓇𝓁𝑒𝒶𝒹𝑒𝓇🎀
And I've watched most of the others, but they're not really the same?

Zilla Fieri
They jump right into bad fanfic territory

Zilla Fieri
Immediately with the second movie, they recreate the plot of 3, to the point of including Jill and the Nemesis

Zilla Fieri
but decide to give Jill's cool moments all to Alice, their OC and also the director's wife

𝒸𝒽𝑒𝑒𝓇𝓁𝑒𝒶𝒹𝑒𝓇🎀
Yup.

Zilla Fieri
and that is a trend that carries through to the rest of the movies: super cool girl Alice who's a goddamn super soldier running on bullshit plot armor and sometimes superpowers out-cools everyone around her

Zilla Fieri
To the point where other characters suffer for it

Zilla Fieri
But that wasn't the case in the first one!

Zilla Fieri
They did establish that she worked security, I think she was head of security? And all of her moments of remembering she's a badass is simply from the fact that her combat training is instinctive and comes through even during her amnesia

Zilla Fieri
And it didn't really shit on other characters just to make her look cooler

Zilla Fieri
Michelle Rodriguez is a goddamn trooper who spends most of the movie bleeding out and soldiering through until she turns

Zilla Fieri
one of the other team members actually chose not to kill himself when surrounded by zombies and survived long enough to bail the crew out of a really bad situation

Zilla Fieri
even the main villain, Spence, who got hit with the same amnesia stuff Alice did? I can never be sure he doesn't remember he's the bad guy at that one scene.

Zilla Fieri
I gotta rewatch it to be sure, but it wouldn't surprise me any

Zilla Fieri
And it still made room to be a cheesy horror film

鋼の錬金術師
I need to look up the first Silent Hill to see it's rotton tomato score real quick

Zilla Fieri

Zilla Fieri

The first Resident Evil as a fun zombie action movie. And so was the second, actually. But it wasn't really a resident evil thing. But that's fine.

MindEvaporator
yeah I have a new appreciation for the what of the movies

鋼の錬金術師
I liked the first and the second was fun too. Couldn't completely get into the third and they killed Carlos, so


Zilla Fieri
The second one was fine but because Jill is one of my favorite characters, I couldn't like it too much :V

鋼の錬金術師
They did shit on her character in that one
