Resident Evil: Apocalypse - The Official Thread

You know what pisses me off? Shitty movies like this get 6 hours worth of extras and an awesome movie like Kill Bill 1&2 gets 45 fucking minutes of extras and no commentary. Boo.

That's 45 minutes more than Kill Bill deserves.

Still, I feel ya. There's a number of good movies on DVD that don't get half the extras that RE:A did.

He looked exactly like he did in the game and he pwn3d everyone he ran into (except for Milla, which was BS). Sure, some Nemesis-style beatdowns or tentacles through the head would have been cool, but R-rated movies can't get away with the gore they used to. The RE movies are pretty devoid of actual blood and guts.

True, and that does suck.Almost like it was forgotten on what helped to make the RE games what they were.Of course, like has been said before the studios likely pressured Anderson into pulling the blood and guts out,and even if they were in that alone wouldnt have saved this thing from failure (IMO).

A) It was a minigun, not a rail gun.

Well, fuck it was pretty big - looked like a rail gun

B) It ran out of ammo.

Did it really? I missed that somewhere in all the suck.

Okay, post a pic of yourself with a minigun and rocket launcher and we'll see how bad-ass you look pinned on the ground under all that hardware.

You know I actually WAS going to post that I'd probably need a wheelbarrow to roll the shit around in which would look hella uncool, and I'd have to run for cover, but still there would be some ownage by me I'm sure <flexes>

The movie was at its strongest when it WASN'T taking liberties with the game.

....hmmm...yeah..you are right..if you call that strong...I just would've liked to have seen Nemesis I dont know.....just do more.I'm not talking about sprouting bat-wings and flying around, or shooting electric bolts out of his hands or something asanine and insensical like that --just wanted to see more than him shoot guns and get in a gay boxing match with the 12-year old boy.

the black guy was actually funny and not a upn character tossed in for minority relief

You sure about that? because that's exactly how I saw him.

Nope...that's a rotary minigun (AKA chaingun, for all you Doom fans). It's the same gun you see Arnold firing in T2 and Jesse the Body firing in Predator, though very beefed out. It's called a minigun because it's the smallest version of a Gatling gun-type weapon, and is usually mounted on helicoptor gunships. They can have a rate of fire up to 10,000 rounds per minute. Yes, per minute. That's over 166 shots a second.

A railgun, on the other hand, uses intense magnetic fields to propel a single projectile at incredible speeds- faster than the speed of sound, actually.

It was near the end, after Nemesis turned "good." After that, he just started giving Umbrella guys beatdowns.

....hmmm...yeah..you are right..if you call that strong...

Well...as strong as this movie gets, anyway. Not implying that it's good, mind you, just that it has parts that are actually entertaining as opposed to horribly painful.

You sure about that? because that's exactly how I saw him.

Me too. I mean, the guy drove a caddy and had gold plated pistols ("Muthafuka! Mah shit is custom!").

Cool. Well consider me officially schooled then.

Oh yeah, thats right. Dole here hated Kill Bill.

I didnt expected RE:A to be art. But I WAS expecting it to be FUN video game movie. Which it wasnt.

[ssbomberman]

Problem is even HK films who pioneered the action genre are using bullshit cheating techniques to hide poor action skills of stars, if you want classic, get a kung fu movie, this is just a good waste of 2 hours IMO.

Well, I'm not being totally fair- I still haven't seen Vol. 2, and I hear it's supposed to be much better.

I forget, did you like the first movie?

None of the young HK stars bother to train in martial arts anymore since they can rely on camera/CG bullshit. Personally, I love me some of that 70's style kung-fu goodness.

[Despair]

Yes, I thought that original RE was decent. Thats why I hoped that sequel would be bigger and better, which it sadly wasnt.

I agree that its not only Hollywood problem with over relyance on cgi for the stunts, but it is affecting HK as well, which is sad. There are still some new HK blood that can do fights, but overal it is pretty bad.

As for Millias next, I just hope that Kurt Whimmer will do well with her on Ultraviolet.

Kano on the Phone is awesome.
