Worst Game-to-Movie Translations 2

While this may not be a masterpiece, i did enjoy watching Resident Evil, and its sequels. I am sure there are some people, like me, whom enjoy lots of action, bad-a$$, kick butt females, and a movie that simply relates to one of our favorite pasttimes (playing Resident Evil).

(remember, Jill, the master of unlocking?) No I really don't remember that. I played every game all the way through but stopped with Nemesis. Personally I think the movies could of been made very well. Michelle Rod should of died... and early on at that I can't stand that type cast tough as nail mexican B*tch. If they would get directors that played the games and loved them...... whatever not gonna rant anymore. And whoever wrote the resident evil review didn't play the games either unless she was just a natural lock picker in the games after Nemesis because I remember having to use codes and find objects to open everything in the games.

Resident Evil movies have been entertaining.

I liked the movie Resident Evil a lot (the sequals, not so much) It made me want to play the game, as opposed to some other movies

Generally we need film critics like fish need bicycles. Particularly so called critics who feel compelled to trash everything. I guess the old adage is true, them that can't critique or write.

okay. while i agree that the dialoge in the games, especially the first, were incredibly cheesey, the storyline is awesome. (we'll chalk the dialoge up to crappy japanese-to-english translation.) however, i think it's unfair to judge the story based on how it's told. i adore the games, the books are awesome, and the movies were okay as movies. the first one gave me nightmares! @____@

btw, on a side note doom had a story. not a good one, but it was there.

People whine about movies too much and they need to get a life. You can't please everyone. If the movie is too much like the game, people piss and moan that it was too expected.

in no way shape or form is Resident Evil that bad. I have seen video game to big screen. and probably the worst of all is "Mortal Kombat" did everyone forget that whopper it sucked!

wow the people that write these things are effing retarded

res evil is one ogf the best game to movie movies this comes from a directer producer not a critic or non industry moran

I have to disagree, I thought the movie was so much better! I love Resident Evil, but I HATE the game!

First off.....resident evil was an awesome movie,(not including the sequels)so was the game,the movie DID successfully surprise the audience many times.And the plot made very much sense.I mean the very beginning was confusing,but it unraveled,like a movie should,leaving it with a pleasing cliffhanger, with people wanting to see much more which made the producers millions.So apparently this critic has no taste in ScFi movie genre,which since hes a critic,should.

I think people forget what movies are. What the film industry is. As well, that, these films are made to entertain.

I was entertained... so the movie, in my opinion, was a success. I paid to see all three, and don't regret it.

i loved the second and third movies the first not so much a lil to closed in if u no wat i mean and i felt tht the movies did transfer well for the games i mean yea not everything is 100 percent like the game but it did good in my eyes

I don't know who was paid to give out their opinion on this one. My boyfriend is the biggest video game freak ever, and when he dragged me to see Resident Evil (never having, to this day, ever played the games), I assumed I was going to be bored out of my mind. Not so, however, I thought it was awesome. I thought Nemesis was cheesy as all hell, but at least they had good characters to redeem the movie. Extinction was the best by far. It was done so well. So you, sir, in my humble opinion, can suck it. You have no idea what you're talking about.

Ok... We need better critics, because the movies and the games where pretty close. You had all the main char's, had the whole try and stop umbrella from doing their thing. The movies arent supposed to be just like the games, but close enough so the viewer gets she/he thrill. I got my thrill from playing all the Resident Evil games and watching the movies. If your going to complain about a movie not being like the game then complain about the game not being like the comic books or the novels. I am just saying, their not supposed to be a like but are in a small way...

Holy christ. I suppose next you'll say that 'Talladega Nights' lacks an innovative camera man who captured the emotions of the cast in his shots. Come on dude, cut them some slack.

I can only really speak on behalf of Resident Evil, and though I disliked them (simply because they should((could)) have made it more horrifying), it's not half as bad as described here. I wouldn't recommend spending money on them, though.

Now, if you want a GOOD game to movie translation, Silent Hill is the one for you. It stuck with the concept, added more, barely twisted it, and it turned out f*cking radical.

Hey what happened to talkin about silent hill? I'm glad they didn't have an entire hotel with 100 locked doors and a single room with just ammo in a shopping cart. Yet, at the same time you had that same creepy, you are screwed feeling to it. Although, for the end of the movie they through in some extra stuff to make better sense of the movie, but ya i'm glad they finished it with the same type of ending in the games where you are still pretty much left wondering if the characters got out..

In the end though it's about makin money or having a hobby... no?

the first movie was good , the 2nd was ok, the 3rd was ok(but not as good at the 2nd) but towards the end of the movie it was awful
