This could've been balanced out with more reaction shots showing the soldiers wetting themselves. My one complaint was that the characters were too battle-trained, too slick, too good at fighting for them to be sympathetic horror subjects. The plot was no more comic bookish than any of the games. It was one of the very first games to establish the phrase 'survival horror.' Known for its sluggish controls and bad voice acting, the classic game has now sold over 2.7 million copies. The acting was above par for a Resident Evil, certainly much better than the first game. Resident Evil (titled 'Biohazard' in Japan) was released on the Playstation in 1996 and was directed by the now-heralded Shinji Mikami. It did an excellent job establishing characters without too much unnecessary background, developing them just enough to make you want to know what they'll do next, to make you care before the sudden and gruesome happens to them. With this film you have a good, watchable story that can partake of the Resident Evil cosmology, showing it due respect. Not giving the fan-boys their favorite characters was a good choice since characters tend to get mangled in adaptation, and yet the fan-boys still complain. No story is retold here, no words are wasted, the setting, feel and pace is familiar to fans of Resident Evil and yet it's perfectly accessible to those unfamiliar with the broader storyline. This movie successfully recreated the feel of the game, and because it kept exposition to a minimum of what you needed to know for this particular story and didn't borrow from or revise any of the original characters or settings, it supported and strengthened the franchise. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 6.7 and a MetaScore of 33. Resident Evil is a 2002 horror movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 41 minutes. Why all the hostility? I think there was great chemistry on this production and it shows the actors and crew involved loved the game and had a good time making this. The newspaper on the ground reveals the horrible truth that the T-Virus escaped the Hive and ran through the city, leaving no survivors. I had to sift long and deep for a good comment on this.
