Well, here I am. People who know me love me whether they like it or not. It's a burden since I dislike most people. You can find My actual Life HERE. I have many fandoms, and many likes but I have yet to find passion in a past time. You are welcome as long as you behave.
I figure as long as STAN can live here, I can too. Here's round two.
A few thoughts on Resident Evil:Retribution:
Firstly, the main thing that struck me about the movie was it's video game-esque format. That may seem like a strange comment for a video game movie, but hear me out. I have been an ardent fan of the RE series from games to movies. While building on the games the movies have taken a different route and have always had a more cinematic form. they are a story arc start to end. IN this final installment, Paul WS Anderson seems to have made a lazy in the writing of this one compared to the rest. I kind of felt like I should have had a controller through a lot of the movie. Red Queen popping up on the screen to give orders did nothing for me.
Second, I like the music in this film the best out of any of them, and I like the music in the first a lot.
I'm about to laundry list here, I hate the costuming, I wish The Redfields had been in it, the logistics of rescuing a deaf girl from a zombie filled Umbrella compound seem like they should be more complicated, you have no chance to connect with any of the characters besides Alice, there's no real development, the Asian lady's acting was awful, I don't care if she's blonde in the video game, they should have let Jill Valentine stay brunette.
While I felt it more video game-ish I kept being surprised. I kept waiting for scenes to happen and they didn't. A different turn was taken. This happened like 3 times, it was a little refreshing.
On the whole, the acting was awful. However this did not bother me as I was watching a Resident Evil Movie. The set design was pretty impeccable and kind of gorgeous. Staging has never been a problem for this series though.
It was nice to see faces from the earlier movies and I understand the decision to not give them character depth, but it still annoys me.
End
