I just wish genshin didn’t have some stupid gacha system to unlock new characters.
Down bad 😞
Filmmakers seem to forget that the best way to service fans is to give them a genuinely good movie.
tbh is quite hard to give gamers a good movie, cause they'll hate it anyway.
@@Immolator772 I mean, literally all of the material is right there. It's not a new story with new characters. The plot, characters, monsters, etc is all there. The director just went with what he thinks is best, and that's why this movie sucks so bad. It's not hard to make video game movies, it's hard for the directors to stick to the already written script.
@@Immolator772 The truth in this hurts.
@@Collin93387 did you watch the video? He basically said it's tough to make a video game adaptation cause If you just copy and paste everything then the viewer might as well just play the original source which is true. My thoughts on it, is just dont make adaptations.
@@Collin93387 even if the director is good i know they will hate it, knowing the mindset of some gamers. Weirdly though, it sometimes works for tv series.
"He loves Leon" **casts someone *literally** perfect for Carlos*
Seriously!! I thought the same thing too. I couldnt stop going 'Why is this RE1/2 and not RE3?'
It was Carlos cosplaying as Leon, although the actor would have to bulk up to play Carlos
That's what I thought!
he's not Latino, he's Indian
@@thedisgruntledidealist he still looks 100x more like Carlos than Leon, it doesnt matter if he's not Latino
He didn’t love the games. He was simply aware of them. I refuse to believe somebody was such a massive fan and still thought that all the changes to this movie were cool if not an improvement
He said he like re even before the movie was announced
Yeah I agree a 100%, I don't even think this guy has really played a resident evil game in his entire life, he probably just skimmed through one, saw some interesting shit and decided to put it in the movie, Because no one who's a true fan of Resident Evil even in the slightest would butcher this movie like he did.
And to say this movie is complete garbage compared to the other resident evil movies that were so much closer to the source material cuz they have shits tons of adding things to it. compared to this garbage, if the guy wanted to make a movie of resident evil he should just followed Spencer mansion cuz the movie literally showed the Spencer mansion yet he ignores it by making all these Easter eggs -_-
This is why I'd rather watch fan films on youtube
My exact thoughts for Dwayne Johnson, and his “passion” for Black Adam. He can’t even attempt an ancient Egyptian accent
Fun fact: I watched this movie twice. Had an abacus with me the second time, to count how many times they said "fuck." I counted 93 times in total.
@@meganfraser810 Watching a movie in the dark, it's just easier to use something like that since it doesn't require writing lmao.
Jesus Christ, in one movie?!?!
@@SavouryGalette Yep lmao. They worked really hard for that R-rating.
idk what impresses me more, that they managed it 93 times, or that you have an abacus, used it, and used it well XD
"Don't bother tryna analyze these rhymes. In this song I say "fuck" 93 times!"
It's literally the same count as an ICP song.
"He loves Leon" *completely changes the character in every possible way*
That scene where all of the characters just fucking bullied Leon was wild to me lmao
@@bigdadybojangls9219 right, like Leon's a Chad lmao
You know how Tim Burton was still a producer in the Joel Schumacher Batman movies but didn't have any of Burton's trademarks on them? Well, guess who's name pops up as a producer but seems to have had more input?
He changed the way he looks and the way he acts. He doesn't deserve to call himself a fan.
I mean let's be honest. Leon's a giant dork. He says things in the silliest way and he reacts to things in a way normal people just don't react. But he wasn't a loser. He was a competent cop, and was good at handling stressful situations. This movie completely ruined that and made him so pathetic and annoying.
I absolutely hated the way they portrayed Leon. He was a bumbling fool, talkative, and honestly kind of annoying. For Johannas loving Leon he did him dirty af. In the video games and the cgi movies, Leon was a man of few words and was confident in his actions. Also, loads of references doesn’t equal good movie. Wish Johannas knew that.
Leon is such a cool character. To make him a bumbling idiot is such a weird choice
It's sad too because avan jogia did really well as him and it's sad because of how shit they made him portray Leon.
also how is he an anti-hero?
I’d hardly call him a man of few words in RE4; he threw out one-liners left and right. But yeah, his portrayal in this dog shit movie was mind boggling.
@@menoseloso119 throwing one liners doesn't make you talkative, he became a man of few words later though. He's not as optimistic as he once was.
I just want one resident evil movie with an accurate cast like damn
Not on this earth, go to earth 616
No go to earth 3,000 that sounds cooler
Jensen Ackles as Chris Redfield
Jared Padelecki as Leon Kennedy
Of course, this film would have to be made in the early 2000s, and at the cost of Supernatural. Oh, and it would have to be 3 films for the first three games.
Bonus: Liam Neeson as Barry Burton
Just so tired of the virtue casting. Black Wesker in the netflix show, whatever shaggy haired Leon is here, all the quota crammed into one person in MoM (Hispanic "America" with token gay parents who wins the day with girl power).
Shit, man, just try to stick to the source material or make a different movie. Ada Wong is literally Chinese. You want diversity, just fucking give her a meaningful role in the movie. RE4 literally takes place in Spain, so if you want hispanic or plain Spanish actors, just fucking GO THERE.
It's really not that hard to just include diverse characters, in a story that is written to just include them organically. Charles Xavier isn't a cripple so you can go "look at the cripple" and then the next scene starts, he's just in a wheelchair. It's not his defining character trait, it's just who he is. Just do that.
@@dowfreak7 Hard Facts!
Joannes: “Fanservice shouldn’t overshadow the movie.”
Also Joannes: Almost every minute of the movie is fan service.
Follow up to this: His comment of “you might as well play the game” doesn’t work considering playing a video game and watching a movie are VERY different experiences. One is about participation while the other is about spectacle.
Honestly, if the movie was actually good, the fanservice wouldn't be a problem. But with how bad it is, the fanservice is just painful
The fan service actually makes this the best resident evil movie. 😂
Like at least we got some.
Joannes: I don't want too much fanservice
Also Joannes: *every few seconds* hey remember this bit from the games!?
I cannot praise this movie for its constant references to the games. This is the sort of thing most videogame movies do _all the time:_ they translate direct quotes, scenes, outfits or locations from the games but they utterly fail to understand their heart and what makes them appealing to the fans. Like the whole "Itchy. Tasty." thing, which in the game was a dark and ominous depiction of a person losing their humanity and here it's utterly devoid of meaning even though it's literally being written by a character who's _shown_ to be losing their humanity. They have all the correct ingredients, but they're mixing them in the wrong order and proportions, so they end up with an inedible mess.
The casting for Leon Kennedy should be a crime. LET MATHEW MERCER DO THE DAMN VOICE
This movie is a great example of that. They translated direct quotes, scenes, outfits and locations from the game and they utterly failed to understand what make them appealing to the fans
Dude two things stuck out the most to me of just how much they missed the point of this. 1 was Wesker & Birkin's meeting, these 2 have history in the games, work rivals turned co-conspirators in the murder of their mentor to take over his research, both men who betrayed Umbrella for their own self serving needs and in the movie they had no history, nothing, just random strangers. The other being Lisa Trevor, her backstory is one of the most tragic stories in the series, of a young innocent girl brought to the Spencer estate because her father built it, her whole family kidnapped and used as test subjects for both the virus and the Mansion's death traps, Lisa being left the only survivor due to her high adaptability to the virus which is how the G-Virus got made, the virus having damaged her mind so much that she killed her own mother and ripped her face of and wears it alongside her own peeling face in hopes to give it back to her when she sees her again. Movie Lisa was just some orphan Birkin experimented on which became friends with a young Claire.
The director didn't get it, everything he said was just PR babble he rehearsed to get fans into watching his sub par, direct to tv movie he conned his way into putting in theaters.
Sonic The Hedgehog literally did it better, paid fan service while also being it's own movie, and even using the iconic gold rings as an actual plot significant item that meant something and explain why Sonic needs to collect them
Not to mention the amount of shit they get wrong. It’s more a slap in the face to fans than anything
This is why the Sonic Movie and Detective Pikachu succeeded and hopefully the Uncharted film will as well. Its because these movies focused on being GOOD MOVIES FIRST then added the fan service to make fans happy
How can you be a fan of Leon but think of him as some kind of disheveled slacker? He's a total boy scout, even in RE4.
And he is hot in RE4
He was. It wasn't until he was recruited into the FBI that he become the badass, from there recruited into the Secret Service and then into some BSAA style program.
Leon has gone through multiple agencies since his RPD day (It was 1 day), but at that moment he was a nobody who would have been lucky to survive without Ada guiding him.
Even as a rookie he wasn't this much if a rookie
Leon was only a "boy scout" in resident evil 4,after that game he matured and became much more colder
@Chandler Burse Leon was told to stay away because the infections were already out of control before his first day.
Honestly Leon’s actor should have played Carlos, he looks so much like the newer version of him
I remember going to the theater dressed as Leon and I had it all, the haircut, the outfit, everything.
When I entered the theater the previews were still going, and only one person recognized me, I couldn’t believe it, I counted at least 23 people and only one of them knew who I was, it was in that moment that I knew I was around people who have never played the games.
When I finished the movie I was so disappointed, If I thought it was bad I can’t imagine what the people who have never played the games thought of it.
Movies based on games/books/anime/cartoons are made for normies. That explains why they are so bad. They feel they need to make stuff for everyone rather than people who actually go see it. Though the reason why no one recognized you is because actual fans knew it would be a dumpster fire and stayed the hell away.
Where’s everyone going? Bingo?
@@tigeruntamed6036 There is no way this particular film was made for normies. If you didn't know who the Ashford twins were, just as one example, then that whole scene (lifted directly from the game) makes absolutely zero sense as it had zero effect on the narrative of the film. This movie was made entirely for people who know the games and has no entrance point whatsoever for anyone who doesn't. Even the characters seem to know that they're in a zombie apocalypse before they've even seen one zombie. It was like everyone had played the game and already knew the script.
@@joshuapray Guess you didn’t read anything I said. Every adaptation has been made for the general audience. Meaning they don’t make it for fans they make it for everyone.
@@joshuapray This movie was made for those who know little about RE and those who do agree it’s trash
I don't understand why RE films keep being so bad. Just make the first game, but as a film. Its perfectly set up as a tight, claustrophobic, haunted house house style horror film.
After this one I think it's going to be a while before we get another :(
@@DrRynsta The Netflix series is coming later this year I think
Ikr? It already has that B movie vibe that would work perfectly for a cinematic adaptation.
the first paul W anderson film almost got it right but it didn't really work as a adaptation
@@ScoutTrooperMan Agreed. As a zombie film, I liked it. But it wasn't really a resident Evil film.
The borderline character assassination of Leon is def not what I’ll call fan service
Wesker. What the Fuck was that Wesker?
Yeah that's like turning batman into a black woman and still calling her batman.
@@JPwendi black Batgirl with red afro came rly close
@@Jimoshi1 christ, the only thing I'm excited for in the new flash movie is when they reboot everything.
@@calemr He keeps bouncing around at being full blown evil, sympathetic villain and just a coward.
And the fact he'll be the underling of Ada and her agency was the cherry on top.
Lisa Trevor was terrifying. Playing the remake and having that surprise in the "safe" house was so cool. Her story was fleshed out and made sense when you couldn't damage her....ahh....good stuff.
Since this is the only movie that has Lisa it's automatically the best Resident Evil movie
When I first heard about who they cast as Leon I was already a bit skeptical. I really like Avan and I think he could've been a good Leon, if they didn't change so much about what made Leon who he is. Yes he didn't start out as a badass. In the beginning he was a naive rookie, and bit of a dork at times, but he DID try to do a good job, and he genuinely cared about people, even Ada after everything she put him through. He wasn't some incompetent slacker anti-hero like what we have here. It's a miracle this Leon didn't get eaten early on.
He was such a big fan of Leon that he managed to completely miss what made Leon, Leon, and hence actively tanked his own creative vision. Fuck me man, the ineptitude.
Yeah - I know people didn’t like the casting - but I’ve said it before “as long as the charecter is there.” And Leon is just a mess.
He was always green but using his tracing to deal with the situation - here he did not know anything.
Fuck you guys, I think they cast the perfect person. He knows nothing and that's perfect too.
@@nosignificancejustrandomwo70 not really
@@nosignificancejustrandomwo70 He looks nothing like Leon and is a complete moron basically which is just straight up disrespectful to the character lmao How tf is he perfect as Leon
@@doncornetto you do realize there is minorities with actual blonde hair. Especially Latinos.
Director: Leon has this sorta "hung over, anti-hero vibe."
Game Leon: Helping people like them, that's why I joined the force.
Someone honestly did not play nor watch the full game.
I think he referred to the older version of Leon after RE:4 while trying to portray the rookie Leon. Which is absolutely dumb
Even so, if my memory is right, Leon wished to become a police officer to protect and help others since childhood and he graduated from the police academy with the best score in his class. So certainly Leon knows why he becomes a cop and the S doesn't stands for stupid.
@@cielargent true
You mean the remake Leon. You do know that that’s a remake of a fake that already exists and doesn’t have to be the blueprint since they changed some things around. I.E leon being hungover in the original being the reason he was late to his first day, and not the change of being told to stay behind
@@cielargent where does it say that at all in the lore?
The literal giveaway for the Claire and Chris dynamic is that the memes of Chris finding a suitor for Claire shows that he loves her.
11:11 leon is so real for this bc honestly? same. i would categorically also not wake up.
...It just hit me. If the director wanted to make this movie with 2 Resident Evil games smashed together, why didn't he just make a movie out of 2 and 3? You know, the only games whose story happens at the same time?
could just made outbreak files at this point
Because Shaq turned down the role for Nemesis
Bc 1 is better than 3
And if it succes, they can make the prequel Resident Evil 1
Exactly it would’ve made actual sense since those games took place the same time the movie would make sense
"...then you might as well just play the fucking games."
Wow, he just summed up my problem with almost every video game adaptation ever
Exactly how it’s summed up. See an adaptation? Just read or play the original because adaptions are huge disappointments.
@@antisocialal4799 Not always true, but like, 90% of the time yea
the funny thing about leon in the games ,in 2 and 4 especially , is that he`s the basically the text book hero character .he just tries to save the city or ashely.with lines like "you`re probably wondering why i became a cop?" meanwhile game leon while talking to ada "are we gonna save the city because this is the reason i became a cop"
Honestly besides Leon being turned into an incompetent wimp and Wesker not even being an evil double agent who orchestrated the downfall of STARS Alpha Team anymore, I think William Birkin got the biggest downgrade. In the original what made Birkin so disturbing that he was this regular man who lost his humanity by his own creation and slowly grow more grotesque and disturbing as the game went on. In your first fight with him he moans Sherry’s name and it looks like his last traces of his consciousness are fighting for control. But after becoming G2 and especially G3, he’s nothing more than a mindless monster entirely overtaken by the virus. But nah, let’s get rid of all of that and just turn him into the generic villain who turns into a monster, retains their humanity and monologues the whole time you fight them! It worked for Wesker since…well, he’s Wesker, but for Birkin it’s just characters assassination at its finest.
This movie doesn’t feels like it was made by a fan of the games at all, but with someone who only played RE1R and RE2R and was like “you know, let me make a Resident Evil film, but mash two games together without rhyme or reason and make the characters look nothing like their game counterparts…because I’m a genius!”
I’m a huge re fan and my boyfriend and I saw this in theaters when it came out, so here’s my critiques:
-Leon’s canonically a very competent character
-Chris and Claire didn’t grow up in Raccoon City
-Lisa Trevor never spent time at the Raccoon City Orphanage as she was imprisoned in the Spencer Mansion as a test subject alongside her mother Jessica in 1967
-The Ashford twins were not Umbrella test subjects, but clones of Countess Veronica Ashford, grandmother of one of the initial founders. In fact, the girl, Alexia Ashford, was a senior researcher at Umbrella
-Chris and Claire are very close, if anything, he left her behind to join S.T.A.R.S
-The events of the first and second games happen months apart
-Claire actually only goes to Raccoon City in the second game because Chris is missing, and this leads into the events of Code: Veronica
-Jill and Wesker were never romantically involved
-Kevin Dooley was not a member of S.T.A.R.S, he
was just a regular officer
-Chief Irons was the taxidermist, not Birkin
-Wesker and Birkin are friends in the games
-Ada works for Wesker, not the other way around
-75% of Bravo team is missing
-The Ecliptic Express and the overturned MP vehicle are nowhere to be found
-Itchy Tasty was initially a haunting statement written by a man as he documented his change into a zombie. Not anymore
-If they wanted to do a mashup of 2 games, then do 2 and 3, since they literally overlap with each other
Yeah ok mr. Perfect
@@nicolauschandra6777 Cope, Seethe, Mald
"If they wanted to do a mashup of 2 games, then do 2 and 3, since they literally overlap with each other" That's literally what I was thinking. RE1 and 2 take place two months a part, it wouldn't really make sense. But 2 and 3 literally happen within 24hrs of each other, with 3 ending 2 days later.
This is why i don't trust Hollywood for game or anime movie adaptation, they screw up everything.
Remember Dragon Ball Evolution? and most recent Netflix Cowboy Beebop, don't forget that.
@@nicolauschandra6777 look man, if some kid on the internet can point out all the errors in your adaptation, maybe the person getting payed to make said adaptation should do their homework a little better
I can still remember my favorite part of the movie
Lisa Trevor: "Shhhhh"
Leon: Immediately shouts "Claire, over here!"
Claire: Shouts back "What?" and runs over to Leon
Chief Irons: Quietly walks behind them without speaking
Licker: Immediately murders the Chief
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
man LMAO
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
thats the best comedy movie even paul anderson didnt funny shit like that hahahahaha
Plot Armor 100%
Logic 101, Ladies and Gentlemen.
I remember seeing all the ads for the movie and all the actors would say in the interviews in the ads would say “oh yeah I remember seeing that in the game” “that was in the game too”
Inez's yelling of _Joseeeeph_ at first re1 intro movie has more production value and passion than this entire movie.
She doesn't even say"Joseph." It's "Joseeeee-" and it's so fucking funny to me
"Our cast is obviously much more diverse than the original games but I wanted to resist the trap of just casting because someone just happened to look like their character identically," he continued. "We actually had a lot of actors who came in and recreated themselves perfectly visually as the character they were reading - it was uncanny at times ha! - but it was not what I felt this story needed." From a GameInformer article.
The director actively avoided people who looked similar to the characters in game lol.
Gotta shill for Hollyweird, without at least a raceswap and wahman of pawah you can't have your film It seems.
Dogshit casting choices
It almost feels like RE fans are a bunch of 10 year olds who want to see their favourite dolls in live action. Acting? Dialog? A plot that makes sense? Nah, just give us dolls that look like in the gamezzzz.
@@550077 it's based on something that already exists. Shouldn't they look at least a bit similar?
@@550077 Not really a huge RE fan, I've played like 1 or 2 games and thats about it so I dont really care about this movie (Altho I do like the speedrunning community for RE games). I'm highlighting this quote from the article because Elvis pointed out the casting choices for the movie like Wesker, noting how they had to constantly remind us that he is Wesker (Even slapping sunglasses on him like he said), so that made me wonder, why not just hire someone that actually look like the character instead of constantly reminding us that they are that character? Hence the quote.
I see no issues with someone not being identical to their counterpart, for instance Flash Thompson in the recent Spiderman movies isn't Flash Thompson from the comics, does it bother me? No not really, I don't see the movie constantly reminding me that hey this is Flash, look he wears the same stuff and has blonde hair! Instead the actor just does his thing and it just works y'know?
"The director loved Leon"
Could've fooled me.
Dude who played Leon would’ve been better casted as Carlos if they had an re3 movie. I just can’t see this dude as Leon
My immersion in this movie was immediately broken by how Leon looks nothing like the game version
Who cares what he looks like he acts ENTIRELY OPPOSITE to his game version that’s the only important thing
When the world needed him the most, he returned.
He was only gone a month lol
@@RasnakJS 1 year in CZcams time
Elvis! I Choose You!
It's my guilt pleasure too
Stfu it's called taking a break
Can’t believe I actually had hope for this movie.
Same but as soon as I saw Leon, Albert, and Jill. I knew there was a red flag lmao
@@MisterJakeC I thought they was gonna go with RE 2 and 3 but mfs decided to start from the beginning and line up all the events 💀
Same. I didn’t think it was going to be amazing but the way the recreated the game locations made me feel so hopeful for it to at least be decent. Oh boy.
@@Friedphesh Yeah that was when I knew it would be a disaster, they tried too hard to make it like the games when you really can't translate a games story in to a movie unless it's already basically a movie anyway.
Obviously what the Wes Anderson movies did with the franchise was insane but cramming too much fanservice in this was an awful idea, especially when you're making the plot so far removed from the games at the same time.
@mrcheesemunch Agreed. The movie was advertized as being true to the games… but it’s really not? At least I got some ironic entertainment from the Wes Anderson ones because of how crazy they were. This one was just painful.
Director: I love Leon, he’s my favorite character.
*Makes Leon completely different from how he usually is in both appearance and approach to everything he encounters*
I've got an elderly friend (former neighbour) I'm visiting every now and then (when I've got the time). We love watching movies together; sometimes there's one from his movie collection, other times it's whatever's on TV. This was on, and I hadn't heard about it prior to seeing it. It was actually a lot of fun watching it together, especially since he doesn't know anything about games and it served as a decent introduction to Resident Evil (he hasn't seen the other films either). Because of that memory, I wouldn't be too critical of this movie, particularly compared to all the others.
Cool for me I really loved the movie as a resident evil fan
The tragedy that is Leon in this film broke my heart. I wish they had just done the first game in this movie, taken their time with it, shown a sprawling mansion and focused on Jill and Chris. The story of the Birkins vs. Umbrella and all of the chaos that ensues from a corporation trying to steal a mans work is actually a great story and deserves better than this, and would have done well as a sequel in the right hands.
It's wild that the Anderson RE movies had some characters looking pretty accurate. But lacked their personality and played no big part. This movie had a bit of their looks just a bit and none of the personality
The 1st game is unadaptable. Nobody has done it and probably nobody will. You can squeeze both Jill’s and Chris’ cutscenes and dialogs into a 30 minute video, and I’m being very generous, because they will include dramatic monster encounters, boss fight intros and puzzle cutscenes. The game’s backstory is told through documents and pictures you find.
The game is known for its oppressive atmosphere, grotesque visuals and intriguing sound design. The actual plot (what is actually happening and relevant to show on screen) could be described in up to 3 paragraphs. Good luck with that.
@@550077 you mean they would need to add more for it to work oh no how could they write a script.
@@Humble197 They would need to invent an entirely new script that would end up being unrelated to the game. I think Anderson and Roberts realized this very quickly.
How on earth do you solve this?
You can invent your own story that is unregognizably different from the the original game. This is what Anderson did. It was fine as a movie, but it didn’t adapt anything.
Roberts tried another approach: combining 2 games into one. He got a complete nonsense.
I also read the original Romero script that was supposed to become the RE adaptation. It sucked.
If anyone can do better, show us.
@@550077 The last twenty minutes could be running from the tyrant or Mr x either one works they are both scary.
The first twenty give or take can be dedicated to knowing these characters and watching them die.
The middle just needs to be them exploring the mansion/police station discovering stuff and getting jumpscared and killed.
There you go the structure for the plot is so easy to setup. The games are setup pretty well for a standard horror movie its really not that difficult. The biggest issue would be budget.
Wait, since when Leon is an anti-hero!? He never did anything bad to begin with.
Edit: he actually looks more like Carlos than Leon.
yeah
dude.. this is racist.....kkkkkkk.. unfair play... he look exactly like Carlos !! srsrsr
@@PauloSilva-ep9ox he does!
@@Immolator772 he looks like carlos from the game carlos
Anti-Hero just means any character who doesn’t follow the traditional heroic archetype. These days that means “brooding bad boy with villainous qualities”, but in the past it typically referred to characters who were reluctant and lacked the typical “alpha male manly man” qualities.
If you go back far enough, a lot of the qualities we currently associate with anti-heroes would have actually been considered traditional heroes. While a lot of characters we currently consider normal heroes, would have been labeled anti-heroes.
In my opinion, a show/movie that has a balanced fanservice AND a good story would probably be Arcane: League Of Legends, and The Netflix Castlevania.
Sonic
Dude. Love love love your energy. You are hilarious in the driest way (which is the best type of humor). I’m addicted to these videos! This and the Wonderwoman video killled me.

"Well it's a Jill sandwich now" Literally one of her first lines in the movie.

@@dobrowolsk well that is THE most surface level reference of all the games, EVERYONE who has even heard of the game knows about that joke
@@dobrowolsk I guess 12 year old me was a fan of resident evil since I knew the Jill Sandwich line before I've even played/watched a resident evil game. Simply knowing a joke doesn't make you a fan.
Antony Starr in his portrayal as Homelander from The Boys would be an AMAZING Wesker and I one day dream we get a proper reboot where he’s casted as exactly that.
I agree that that'd be a good casting choice. I still remain hopeful that they will do a Resident Evil TV series, more so streaming service as that's where much of the money is now anyhow lol, because originally, there were talks of it being a series rather than another movie adaptation. There are pros and cons to series compared to movies but at least with a series with 1 or 2 seasons, they could flesh out the characters more and would not have to rush the story. They could definitely stretch it out then.
yeah Antony Starr would have been perfect.
I just finished The Boys like 2 days ago and holy shit you're absolutely right. No one could play a manipulative psycho better than Antony

Unfortunately the only good “Resident Evil” movie we’re going to get is the cut scenes from the game.
Right! I have literally played the Resident Evil 2 remake over 5 times now. But I cannot sit through watching this movie again.
I don't really understand why everything needs to be made into a live action movie or TV show anyways tbh. Like the director himself said just play the games. It's not like it's a book or something that a film adaptation adds elements a book can't have or anything, really it just takes away the best parts
"They have nothing at all except for the name" is the best and simplest way to describe the whole Resident Evil movies/live action adaptation.
Glad you like it here in Vegas so far thats awesome you live here now. I just started watching your videos recently. Very funny and entertaining.
That doggo did a play bite if i ever seen one
Gotta love how inconsistent Wesker's characterization Is.
The movie can't decide if he's either a money driven, sympathetic villain or just a coward.
Him not being the machiavellian, sunglasses wearing Wesker Is just the cherry on top.
I always thought he was a mustache twirling villain, like in RE5, where you fight him by shuting the lights off, i always love to imagine he being like "hmpf, can't see anything but I'M TOO COOL TO TAKE OFF MY SUNGLASSES TO SEE BETTER", really cool
@@justrandomstuff6828 He was always this over the top villain, like In both RE1 and Veronica where he can't resist and starts monologuing about his evil plans.
It's this level of cheesiness that makes Wesker such a memorable villain.
@Chandler Burse Sorry, I meant In the avarice way of "Yes! More money for my evil deeds! I can now buy a golden opala!" Instead of the "I need this money for retirement/save my sick kid."
Why is no one mentioning Jill, the actual elephant in the room. It's insane how woke people just blatantly ignore things.
@@robbobbrah8953 I feel insulted seeing what they did with Jill and Wesker.
A little bit into the movie me and friend realized that the guy who played Leon is the same guy who played Beck from Victorious and we couldn't stop laughing everytime he was on screen.
Avan Jogia
Lol
thank you for that info
YEAH HE'S NAME IS AVAN JOGIA
Whenever I see the actor that plays Burkin in this film, I just think of Paul Blart 2.
And when I see the guy that played Chris, I think of either Disneys Lab Rats or that movie Nine Lives where Kevin Spacey becomes a cat and he's his son in the movie.
if they are gonna make another live action move, they should make it like canon to the games. The characters are already established. But it doesn't have to be directly tied in to the main storyline, it can be like almost a standalone movie like if Leon went off on a side quest. Also hire the writers from the animated films.
I saw that movie in cinema with a girl. We were both drunk. And when the 'dramatic scene' kicked in and the infected person started screaming "Let me in", we both bursted in laughing.
You clearly had more fun with this movie than me and my friends did. I actually envy you lol
that would have been a hell of a date
Did you survive?
Bursted in?
If only he made the characters look like the ones in the games. That just might have helped since I cannot recognize anyone.
@Average Joe careful you might get called a racist when you say that 🤣
Or act like anyone in the games. They were the characters in name only.
@Chandler Burse I don't really care what any of them looked like, as long as they still felt the characters through their personalities and actions. Which none of them did except maybe Chris.
@Chandler Burse Chandler, honey. Please stop trying to defend your holy grail of movies. Leon looks nothing like Leon and his uniform doesn't help in the least. It's alright to like a movie but going to every comment that makes a genuine critique of it and trying to refute their points is not gonna make the movie better
@@anonnona5790 weirdly hostile and catty reply but go off
My two favorite parts from this film were:
1. The adobe flash CGI fire from the helicopter explosion. It made me and my roommate laugh so hard that he farted and I nearly peed myself.
2. The one guy who was part of bravo team in the mansion raid, whose name was never dropped AT ALL until RIGHT BEFORE HE DIES.
3. When Leon walks in with a rocket launcher and fires point-blank at Berkin while literally everyone is less than 3 feet away, and Chris just like, ducks to avoid the explosion like in the games. The explosion that literally blows the train car everyone is standing in in half and makes a giant house-sized hole, and injures nobody while killing Berkin.
The sweater with the ufo and the mountain landscape is sooo cute!
The mansion scene where they’re fighting off the zombies was actually kind of scary and anxiety inducing. Kind of like encountering zombies for the first time in the games
Untill you realize that Plot Armor makes Crish teleport out of danger with every cut. You are unarmed, with your back on the wall and 3 zombies pushing you? Don’t worry, they don’t bite! Also in the next scene you are alteady far from them
The scene of that very first zombie encounter from the original game is a scene I think everyone would've kicked and screamed about it, if it wasn't in the movie.
If only I could remember it…
It's my favourite part of this film. The zombies are awesome in this film, but sadly underused
@@lewislewis3531 yep like the zombie mom and kid at the beginning those genuinely scared me.
It's weird that they did all the fan service stuff yet made almost all the characters entirely different. The one thing that would've please fans the most and they couldn't do it😂. Especially leon, arguably the most popular character and they did him the dirtiest.
Should of had a flashback of Richard asking the snake, shark question. Cuz he dies in either of those ways in the game.
I would absolutely adore film adaptations of re7 and 8
"you might as well just play the fucking game"
I think this director has figured out the key to video game movie adaptations
I think this whole “combining 2 games into 1 movie” move they made would have worked if it was resident evil 2 and 3 they’re adapting.
Those movies would've worked way better together since they take place at the same time. The events between RE1 and 2 take place some time apart from each other rather than being at the same time or back to back.
Could’ve did RE0 and RE1 then RE2 and RE3
Would love to see you do a "who did it better" episode between this movie and the show that just recently came out. I know its hard to compare a show to a movie, but i think it would be good to parallel the 2.
I’d take this over the Netflix show any day😂
Louis Hofmann should play Leon he has a similar face structure to Leon in resident evil 4 and he's a great actor.
The best way I can describe this is that it's like he played the games on Mute. He absolutely nailed the cinematography and the atmosphere of Raccoon City and the mansion but somehow he absolutely butchers all the characters and dialog.
They messed up every character, except Chris, but how they did Leon, was a travesty.
Johannes Robert’s: “I want to make a resident evil that’s faithful to the source material.”
Hollywood: “no no no, we don’t do that here.”
😂😂😂
I liked the move
@@andrewharrison6806 I liked the move too
Listen the movie wasn’t terrible and wasn’t very good either. Where is nemesis birkins wife also help create the G virus. This movie only took elements from the 1st and 2nd game and said that is it. the mansion and raccoon city incident take place at different times. Really did not show much of umbrella maybe this is why capcom choose Paul Anderson script over anyone else because it was different. The review that this is the best of all the resident evil movies is a joke this ain’t the worst but certainly is not the best. The anime movies and Paul Anderson resident evil movies are better than this movie in a long shot.
@Chandler Burse she barely even has any character she’s only in it for one game, and that game is just her simping over Leon
I liked Claire the most. But that's not saying much
Anyone noticed how when it zoom out and shows the entirety of the town the police station is the biggest building in the town... Like I expected it to be a city but went the small duin town instead
Welcome to Vegas! I’ve lived here my whole life. Hope you guys love it here
That one scene where the chief just starts roasting tf out of Leon was my favorite 🤣
That's cause Donald Logue is a great actor
I almost stood up and left, to be honest.
@@550077 It was so absurd it was funny that’s the thing and that’s why I love that scene
I don’t even think you could call this movie Fan Service. If you’re a fan of the Resident Evil series, I don’t see how you could like this movie unless alcohol was involved.
haha I had a couple cups of wine before hand which did help at least
Even with alcohol involved I’ll never watch it again. I would rather replay resident evil 3 remake and I hate that game
Or drugs.
@@blueismylove3128 I was high (weed) when I saw this movie and it sucked.
I'm planning on watching it with my friends cause I know its gonna be bad
i didnt mind the change to some of the bigger characters and how the story plays out, because i got two different stories out of it :) and i got way too excited when i saw the trucker cutscene and the "welcome leon" banner with the goofy space in it lmao
i thought the whole change of personality with leon and the chmage of story between chris and claire was weird, but i still liked the movie
its so cool your ayylien gets bigger its such a cool brand and i would get me some if i wouldnt be poor but some day i will purchase smth and will support it too
Movie Leon : "probably you wonder why a guy like me join the police" " yeah, me too"
Game Leon : "to help people like them, thats why i join the force"
Anyone who created that atrocity that's supposed to be Leon is not a Resident Evil fan, and will never be a Resident Evil fan.
So let's give this movie a big ol
WHAT !? What is this ?
yeah, i liked him, but not as Leon, he could've easily been a completely different character if they just changed his name to something else
@@jellyraptor3556 Yeah especially since the director sees Leon as an Anti Hero even though he joined the force to help people.
Well silent hill movie used a woman as a protagonist and not a man which was in the game and the movie was actually really good and i liked it so dont judge the changes that much because nothing is perfect in life
I heard about how Leon was portrayed and i refuse to watch this garbage movie..such a bummer..I dont even want them to make video game movies anymore cause all they do is spoil them..
Wow...I saw this movie and it was completely erased from my head until now. All I remember is seeing it and seeming like a fan film.
damn this is the first link for an ad I've ever clicked on. Well played.
Using “Dumbledore asked calmly” to make your point was brilliant 😂😂
I'd like to see Biohazard as a movie. If they managed to keep the atmosphere, that would be so cool.
Especially since the beginning feels like a lost footage movie like The Blair Witch project, they could make a movie that would either be lost footage or slasher or thriller and it can just work wonderfully
i think that would be so cool, they could make it look like a sort of found footage movie as long as they keep the characters the same 😭😭😭
Bro Village as a movie would be cool af. The giant castle, heisenbergs boss fight, the entire character of Moreau, all of that would be so damn cool on the big screen.
@@makaelaischillin If a Village movie was made, I feel Dimitrescu should have a bigger role. Maybe even played by the same actress from the game albeit in CGI mo-cap.
They wont
As someone born and raised in North Carolina, I lived in Vegas a couple years back. And I can say, it wasn’t bad, but I will always be a North Carolinian. North Cackalacky will always be home. And yeah when I first got out to Vegas I had bad nose bleeds for a week or so from the dry heat, I’d be walking down the street, nose bleed, sneeze, nose bleed, blow my nose, nose bleed. It was bad. I recommend using a humidifier at night, and a saline solution during the day, you can stop the saline solution once your sinuses adjust to the dry air. The humidifier will help regardless of how long you choose to use it.
The muzzle flash scene feels like it was a reference to the original cover for the game on playstation. Some stills from the scene look like the cover.
As a hardcore Resident Evil fan, this movie was so bad. It hurts, honestly 🤣
Exactly! Even if they had good writers Taking RE1 and RE2 stories and showing it into one story would still fail.
But of they did a Resident evil 0 + resident evil 1 = movie it would be way more coherent but would still fail because each game story is way to big to be in a movie.
I’m not to into resident evil games/movies, but I still feel really bad for Resident Evil fans. You guys deserve so much better than what you got😔
@@screamingbean7509
Aww, thanks! I really appreciate.
Honestly this movie made me visibly angry like this is so trash I can't believe I wasted my money on it
@@screamingbean7509 At this rate, I just wish they won't do anymore of this movies, it was fun back in the 2000s to wish for a live action RE getting made, then the Anderson films got made which...some were Okay and the rest were bad and then this reboot got made that made those Anderson RE films look good in comparison lol
So glad that everything goes well for both you and your wife. Take care of yourself and can't wait for the upcoming content !
Lol the morgue scene with Wesker is a reference to the RE1 GameCube remake intro btw, they had to do one last reference to the games.
The director did put a lot of care and detail from the Resident Evil games which is cool
The recent Resident Evil games have been amazing. Village and Biohazard were amazing and the remake of RE 2 was one of the best games I've ever played. RE 3 Remake was pretty good but it was kinda half assed.
...
The remakes of 2 and 3 definitely weren't good remakes
@@cloudsombrero tô be honest, I have more issues with village than re2 remake, but yeah re3 remake is just sad
@@arnaldojunior8924 even re2 stripped down the game alot. the remakes just make me wanna play the originals
@@cloudsombrero I get your point, and I respect it, but I don't agree entirely 😂
However, you have total rights to complain about what you didn't like, sadly enough, Capcom don't care about the fans
This movie is the epitome of "just because you can doesn't mean you should". Just because creative liberties can be taken doesn't mean they should be taken. Not every creative liberty is going to benefit the story. Not to mention Elvis is right. You don't need to condense both the first and second game stories into one film. Something tells me it's because the director saw that there were so many creative liberties taken that the story stopped being Resident Evil, like the Ship of Theseus paradox. I get that they're following the John Carmack logic of story, in that it's expected to be included but is secondary to the action. However, in a cinematic setting where story is everything, it's generally considered lazy to leave that kind of thing out. Games leave the action up to the player, whereas film places control in the hands of the plot. The two are not the same, in that regard.
*If the guy in the jail cell is supposed to be Ben, he looks like a ginger Chris Chan with facial hair trying to tell Leon about Sonichu.
*🤦♂️ And I just realized the humor in my joke about Chris Chan being in jail because he was arrested for sexually exploiting his own mother. For those who haven't heard, yes, you read that correctly and heard it here first.
The words "step into a vast magical world" kick even the best of youtubers into lifless husk mode.
the final scene (albert and ada) was a reference to resident evil 1's startup cutscene
I think my biggest issue with this movie was the dialogue. I feel like everyone spoke like preteens that have just been permission to swear as much as they want.
They did the exact same things with the remakes and it really irritates the hell outta me
Exactly. If the director has any teen kids, I literally would buy that he just made them the writers and said, "Have at it." I mean good Lord (facepalm). This movie's dialogue made me cringe more than any movie's dialogue has in a long time. I was not expecting it to be super nuanced but just like, 10-15% more nuance is all I would've asked for for cryin out loud.
@@Tman001100 I mean I'm not offended by swearing cuz Sky Daddy knows I can be a real potty mouth
But at a certain point it becomes so try-hard to make them sound "modern" and "tough" that it's embarrassing (for this movie and the remakes)
If you guys look closely, you’ll notice how short the plot summary section and this whole video is. That’s actually a reference to how actually nothing really happens for long sections of this movie while they do the time updates thing.
Is William McDonough in literally EVERYTHING these days? I swear I cannot watch a show or movie without him popping up.
When he first showed the big zombie with all the eyes I actually thought it was from the games I could not believe it was actually in the movie
To be fair... I too would be saying "fuck" a lot during a zombie apocalypse.
The pilot got bit and was flying the entire time the virus was taking over his body until he finally turned into a zombie and crashed into the mansion….wow
Brad never got to meet nemesis rip
@Chandler Burse he was bit. He didn’t turn yet
Tbh that’s basically what happens in RE6 which is…the last RE game you want to take inspiration from. I like it but it’s definitely the worst
i love the moment when he puts up rlm and yms , he might as well call his channel ETA just to keep up with the late reviewers 3 initial channel. plus it works 2 ways since we will never know when he's coming back!!
I love one fact about this movie. Dary from LetterKenny is the heli pilot.
I loved Chief Irons, the way the the actor oversold dialogue made it hilarious af.
It was like Walter in The Big Lebowski
Chief Irons was the only good character in this movie.
Chief Irons: perfect casting
The characters that actually matter: TERRIBLE
His actor also played in Gotham and really sold it. He was one of the best parts of the show(and the show is really good). It might still be on Netflix where you live, if so, it’s worth a watch
@@kyellverdonschot9922, I knew him from the tv show Grounded For Life
He's the main reason you should watch Gotham lmao every scene with him is like that
I wouldn’t consider Lisa a villain, she didn’t really know what she was doing and was a tortured girl who just wanted her parents back
Okay, she was an enemy. You know what he meant. 🙄
I wonder what people who haven't played the games think of her character as she was given no back story, its just assumed that the audience knows her
@@Codemarla or those same ppl thinking shes a good guy just to play the game and be mistaken
Dude the cover art for this movie that i was seeing before i actually saw it earlier this week is so different lol
