Alright, look. The comparison to Captain Cold and Mr. Freeze isn't me thinking they're the same character. The comparison is Wentworth Miller to a man of Arnold/Chris' physique. This is not difficult.

They didn’t even steal the best scene The one where Chris punches a boulder Come on man, you could have made your wife punch a bolder

Resident Evil movies should be called "i gave my wife a job".

I remember watching these movies back when they first came out. Was so confused as to who tf Alice was. Her being the director’s wife makes so much sense now

Nemesis: Stars Jill (an actual STARS member): It’s coming to kill me! Alice: No it’s coming to kill ME! Jill: 🧐

Jill, Rebecca, Claire, Ada, Sheva, Sherry. A ton of badass women to choose from and Anderson has to make a cardboard cutout of someone that wasn't in the game, the star of the series.

Alice is like that one kid on the playground who would say bullets don't work on him because he has superpowers.

I agree with Sienna Guillory's Jill Valentine line to Alice... "WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?" Probably the best line in all franchise.

Resident evil 3 movie : oceans dried up. Resident evil 4 movie: we are on a ship

“because he wanted to make his waifu look good” hahahahahhahahaha it’s actually so sad that the only reason these movies were the way they were was because of that.

GOOD THINGS IN THE RE MOVIES: -The main theme by Marilyn Manson -Sienna Guillory as Jill Valentine -Accurate design of Nemesis BAD THINGS IN RE MOVIES: -Everything else

RE5 Wesker: Dies after being pushed in lava then blown up by two rocket launchers. RE movie Wesker: *DOOR STUCC*

these were the movies that made me hate the “mary sue” character trope. Damn captain marvel, damn Rey Skywalker, Alice was the original mary sue I despised

I remember reading somewhere that Anderson has never played any of the games; when he's brainstorming ideas for the movies, he'll watch someone else play them and take notes on what he thinks looks cool. Certainly explains some things.

I'm so glad Capcom never made Alice a thing ever.

Wentworth Miller should play as Jake Muller from R.E 6 than Chris Redfield..

I remember seeing the first film on DVD at home , seen Mila wake up in the shower and thought "Oh so she's playing Jill" Then it started to unfold and I'm like "WTF is this "

Jill should have been the protagonist PERIOD.

The fact they're doing monster hunter scares me, I wonder if they plan destroying every capcom franchise with husband and wife fanfiction

If they were smart, the movies should have been broken into “chapters” with each movie focusing on a main survivor (I.e. Jill, Chris, Claire, Leon, etc). Then for a climatic ending, make the finale two movies itself. Would have been far more successful and fitting with the source material.

"Having Wesker get killed by a door" had me dying 😂 💀

Ada putting Leon's hand away from her leg makes you instantly understand how inaccurate these movies are to the games.

"Wesker get killed by a door" The whole way through The Final Chapter I was waiting for Wesker to kick some ass... and then that happened. My jaw actually dropped.

The problem for me isn’t that Anderson chose his wife as the main actress. Sure, she doesn’t have the best acting chops but really, video game movies aren’t exactly known for the acting, especially with the poor voice acting of the original game. The problem is that he basicslly created a flawless character, thus removing any of the suspension by eliminating the risk of a character dying from the mind of the viewer. The main solution would have been to have Jovovich play someone like Jill Valentine, with Eric Mabius playing Chris Redfield and the story being a combination of both scenarios from the first game were both characters make it together to the mansion were they get separated at times.

*These movies were a giant middle finger to the fans.*

I just want Jill to come back and be happy...

Seeing Alice steal Claire's move from the Code Veronica intro made me very mad for some reason!

I'd like to say I enjoyed the first film. It felt like it was a "what if" scenario of Resident Evil without the main characters. It had barely any connection to the series beyond the creatures so it had more freedom to do what it wanted. But when the sequel came out it was all about "Hey, can my wife top all the characters in the series? Fuck yeah she can 'cause I'm gonna make her way more competent than those losers!" It became a pissing match. Some sort of fetish video for the director to watch. They probably went home after the film launched and fucked to the movie.

"And this film had a budget of 60 million dollars." What makes this statement even sadder is the fact that they had almost 10 million more than the COMBINED budget of Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi

“Are you excited for monster hunter? Fucking don’t be.” Oh my I couldn’t stop laughing at this part!

I feel like the director saw someone playing Resident Evil and decided to make a movie out of it without knowing a single thing about any of the games.

They made all characters incompetent. That's the worst of all.

My brother loves Leon Kennedy from the video games, and he hates how he was depicted in Resident Evil: Retribution. If anything, he hates the movies and prefers the games, a decision I support.

What really makes these movies so awful for me is the inclusion of Alice. Why did they feel the need to throw in a superpowered character like hers in the story? With the obvious exception of Jake from RE6, all of the heroes (to my knowledge) were just regular officers and soldiers fighting against the mutated undead. With a character like Alice in the fray, any sense of tension is lost and no stakes can be raised since Alice can easily take care of the vast majority of threats that anyone else would struggle against. Also, Chris punching that giant boulder in RE5 never got adapted in the films, so I'm hella pissed.

As a huge fan of the movies growing up. I needed to hear this, a wake up call to stop falling for these movies. It didn’t occur to me at the time that they were missing context because I would play the games but wow they truly fucked this one up. A hard reboot is definitely needed. Although I really still enjoy RE1 the movie, I think that is still great

Thank you for acknowledging Chris’s strength by showing the sacred scene of him punching a whole ass BOULDER

one of the biggest problems with these movies is that characters just disappear from one movie to the other without explanation, like from re2 to 3 Jill is not there and neither Carlos nor Alice seems to care(also Claire never has a line mentioning Chris something like saying "hey I'm trying to survive and find my brother Chris he is in the army" would set up at least a reunion for us to care in 4), then from 4 to 5 neither Claire, nor Chris nor Kmart who we were told to care about in the previous 2 movies are there then again nobody explains what's going on, then from 5 to 6 no one besides Alice reappears, and there is no mention of that, never a single word, Chris is never seen again and Claire is never like "oh yeah Chris died back in the boat when umbrella attacked us", Paul Anderson really does not know how to write a movie even less an entire franchise

Finally someone called Alice the ultimate Mary Sue. I loved the games, movies and dare I say it her as a kickass character but with so many complaining Rey in the recent Star Wars movies is the worst kind of Mary Sue. there was some part me going, “someone’s not heard of Alice”

The entire movie is just like a fanfiction tbh

"The resident evil movies are dreadful-" Me: and thats all I needed to like this video 🤷‍♀️

I ran into some female coworkers who loved these movies and said it gave women a kick ass hero to represent them with Alice. She even knew her name was Alice. I had the biggest facepalm because it should've of been Jill or Claire or even Ada's name she mentioned had these movies done their job right. The franchise already has strong female role models but they were robbed of notoriety in favor of the directors wife. 🤦🏻‍♂️

"super saiyan michelle rodriguez" lmao

Star Wars fans: They ruined the sequels with Rey she's such a mary sue!! Resident Evil Fans: First time?

How can they call these Resident Evil movies, if the main character that doesn't exist in the main story line, i dont think capcom even made this either.

These movies are basically The Adventures of The Amazing Alice, with the Resident Evil game series as a bit of a backdrop.

The only good Resident evil movies are the CGI Resident evil movies.

Would it have been so hard to simply name Milla's character 'Jill'? I mean, they could have simultaneously saved time and story consistency.

to summarize: its painful to watch

The game series never honored the character Alice... And that was a good thing...

“The Resident Evil movies are dreadful” *smashes like button immediately*

Albert Wesker in game: *Killed by bazooka on a volcano Albert Wesker in movie: *Killed by a door. What a fcking mess. *facepalm

Hard to believe these were made by the same guy who made the Mortal Kombat movie, which is probably one of the better film adaptations of a video game.

At least Ada casting choice was Asian, let’s respect that y’all

The movies are just cosplay fanfics. Just something to watch and laugh at

When you watch the resident evil movies. Suddenly playing 5 and 6 don't seem so bad anymore.

let's make about a movie about survival horror.... but our protagonist is an invincible martial arts master.

Super Saiyan Michelle Rodriguez. Nothing in these movies is as terrifying as that sounds.

The CGI ones were actually good. They actually somewhat expanded on previous storylines. Yet the live action movies feel like everything is happening to fast and too slow at the same time.

I have a friend who calls herself an "RE" fan when she's only seen THESE movies, her favorite character being aLiCe, and has barely played one game... It annoys me so much.

“...she isn’t shown to be incompetent as every feat of hers has been taken by Quan Chi...” Ha!

Resident Evil 2 'remake coming out at the end of the month, who's else is pumped for it?

How about a RE movie remake that actually follows the plot and without Alice?

The fact that they made Jill the secondary character of her own story and that they butchered so much from, yes a somewhat falling franchise in games, just proves they had no real way of making the movies good. Or just make a story different from the main series instead of self inserting a character(s) who didn’t exist in the series main points. They aren’t tie-ins but they shouldn’t be dog sh*t written stories that would even copy things that had better context and meaning from the source!

I remember watching Anderson's first Mortal Kombat movie as a kid and liking it. The second not so much but the first one I still enjoy for being a decent if flawed attempt at a video game movie. As for his RE movies maybe it would have been better to have rotating protagonists for the films or just leave out the characters from the games rather than have them shafted for Alice.

7:44 This pissed me off so much ... i mean COME ON!!!! A DOOOR!!!!!!!!!!!

It always baffles me that these movies were written by the same dude.

I'd rather watch the cutscenes from the first three games than any of these god awful films.

I still think Silent Hill is the best movie adaption of a game.

That Jill Valentine isn't that bad though, the issue stems from that idiotic concept for a RE protagonist - Alice.

The way he made his wife a Mary Sue in an apocalypse movies, we should've just called this sacrilege resident evil movies to another title as Alice in Wonderland since all of this bullshiet is coming out of looks like a Wonderland to Alice because she became goddamn too op for this shiet.

They turned the amazing survival Horror Game in a really Bad Matrix

Might as well call it "Jovovich Evil: The Series".

The movies were total bullshit. The character of Alice tried to be so perfect (of course, she is the producer's wife) that it was so wrong and unbearable in many ways. Totally agree with what you say of Jill, Chris and Wesker. If only Milla and Anderson could see this. Good video.

I still don’t know who Alice is because I’m starting to think Alice is trying so hard to be a Badass Female character like the ones we know 😂

basically, the movie tries to cover the game while introducing a new character, and ignore the game all the way then

Alice made much of the cast just redundant. Especially in the later films. Just look at the games. As the series goes on, more powerful enemies show up and go from slow strides to running. Biting gets replaced with clawing, run jump mauling, gun use, even more dangerous mutations, and lastly, durability increase. These are supposed to generate fear and make the players think of how to avoid and fight the creatures without burning through their resources. Alice, contradicts this. And this hurts the films soooo much. She's like a crutch you rely on too much, like a cheat code that gives you unlimited ammo.

"I.E. 'Random white dude who happened to live in Japan at the time'" - that was beautiful

Saw the first on DVD. Saw the 2nd twice in theaters. High as shit both times. Walked out of the 3rd in theaters. Watched about 10 mins of the 4th on Netflix. That’s all I got.

"personalities that don't match them" Are you implying any character in those movies have a personality ?

I've always said that these movies should have been called Alice in Evil Land and NOT Resident Evil. The movies never explained any other characters origins or current situations for that matter and just threw random characters and b.o.w.s in with no explanation of who or why they are there..After a few movies, they even stopped explaining what the hell was going on in the world..I can't believe people liked this convoluted mass of nonsensical Alice worshipping garbage and the worst thing is they took a big dump all over the Resident Evil name. Luckily, the games have ALWAYS been better at story telling than the actual movies have so Resident Evil will be fine as long as they keep banging out games and never let Paul W.S. Anderson anywhere near another Resident Evil movie script!

It's amazing how they managed to blow Resident Evil and make it worse. Ok, I like the series but, we have to admit, it could be better written and planned out. It did all start from a game that was kind of, maybe, supposed to be a remake of an old movie-based NES game, Sweet Home. But man, to see things from the game taken and made worse. How do you do that? The source material was right there. It's like failing an open-book test.

Dear Paul Anderson Thank you for ruining what could have been a great film series.

You basically hit the nail on the head with the waifu insert fanfic my dude

Im gonna be honest, when you showed the image for monster hunter I originally thought that was other joe from angry joe show. Then I did I double take and laughed at my mistake.

Resident evil can work as a movie but the ones that are made are pure shit

You can tell the people who did the effects themselves cared about the source material. They did the best they could. I feel like these movie’s biggest flaws were Hollywood politics and executive bullshit. Which is usually the case with video game adaptations. The people “in the trenches” care, but the people in charge don’t. To me, at least, is why they always seem half assed.

They need to redo these movies and start from scratch and don’t bother if they aren’t trying to make it at least make sense In relation to the games!

Fun Fact: on the DVD commentary of the First R.E. movie. You can LITERALLY HEAR how thirsty Milla was hitting on Rodriguez and W.S. Andersen getting jelly🤣🤣🤣 Only commentary I ever listened to all the way through!

Paul Anderson and most of these directors probably never read the books or played the games to gain any understanding of the source material of the movie they were trying to make,they were probably doing it for the money.....all they did was read the script and probably had someone explain the rough background of

It always get me how Wesker. A guy with godlike powers get killed by a door... he can move fast as fuck, can dodge bullets and still... GET KILLED BY A DOOR!

Thank you for this video. You have no idea how many TIMES I had to argue with some friends of mine why the Resident Evil movies are absolute garbage.

This opened my eyes wow, I remember I loved the movie series as a kid but you’re totally right on them ripping off content without direct context in their own universe

They killed leon... *HOW DO YOU KILL THE MOST BADASS CHARACTER IN ALL OF RE*

I remember when my cousin (a non Resi fan) asked me to go watch the last movie in the cinema... I laughed so hard in his face that I almost pissed myself. 🤣😂

I love strong female leads but this isn’t the kind of lead people should love up to. A Mary Sue who’s super strong and does everything seemingly right all the time and is unstoppable, that’s a shitty role-model. Why couldn’t they just do Jill correctly? Or Ada? Or focus more on Claire? Characters that aren’t perfect but have amazing determination and other character traits that make for amazing female leads that can truly be inspirational and something to look up to.

I always hated the RE Movies. Because they never follow the real story line. Like who the hell is Alice in the games? These movies sucked

I feel rage when i think about how bad they messed up the films

Thank you 4th snake! I've been waiting for someone to shred these resident evil movies for not following the games original story line

The first one is utter shit and is just an attempt to remake the cube. The second is okay... At least it tried and follow the games far more. (code Veronica and Resident evil: Nemesis). But sadly Milla Jovovich ruins it all with her Steven "I'm superior to everything and everyone" Seagal character

Being a long time Resident Evil fan I have to be honest the films were a disgrace.
