[QUOTE="Werewolf_26, post: 120589, member: 1317"] I liked Resident Evil more than Blade II for movie quality. I also look at them as two different movie types though. Blade II was an action movie. I went to the theater to see the fight scenes. Not for plot, great acting, soundtrack, etc. but for the combat between the vampires and blade. I expected the Resident Evil movie to be similar to the game in tone, mood, and "shock". A movie meant to make some people frightened, and others laugh at how silly it is to split up in a zombie infested area when you have limited weapons. It was as it should have been; an enjoyable movie based on a video game. Its a lot better conversion than Street fighter. Capcoms Resident Evil was always based on scarring the player (thats why its call Survival Horror) rather than just Action. I think the movie was trying to capture that (whether it succeeded or not is up to the individual). As far as both of them are concerned, I thought they were both enjoyable, but not something I'd go out of my way to see again. If it comes on TNT, I'll watch it, but I'm probably not going to pay another $4.50 to see it again. Maybe Resident Evil, but not Blade (or Blade II). [/QUOTE]
