Another reason I don't like the movies, it's like the writers watched someone play the game while reading a book, and half payed attention, leading to stupid endings like that Wesker could give a shit less about the human race in RE5, in fact he wants to essentially destroy it and make way for the 'chosen' by ouroboros.

There are certainly points where the story begins to contradict it'self, but early games like RE1 and 2 were not really prepared for a story after it it seems.

Did you play through all the games? Because I don't know about anyone else, but the entire Progenorator virus background was a better story than most things I've ever played/watched. The deception within Umbrella, and the outward revival of it through "Tricell" I will say the first two games, and possibly the third are very hard to call stories, since the endings all change depending on how you complete the game, but at around Code Veronica, they seem to start focusing on story, and I like what they have so far. 6 actually looks good to me.

I would say the first movie could actually fit into the cannon game story, but the second started to drift, then the third jumped the shark, then stabbed it's children.

As is the case with most video game movies, there is almost always something to make them bad. For instance http://en.wikipedia....gend_of_Chun-Li I Shouldn't need to tell you why this movie is horrible. The actors do not portray the characters even remotely close (this is what Chun Li looks like in the movie http://en.wikipedia....i/Kristen_Kreuk) and beyond that the story was just boring. I know it's pretty hard to make a movie from a 2-d fighting game like Street Fighter, which has a limited story as it is, but if you're going to make a movie about an asian woman named "Chun Li" maybe you should actually make her...oh I don't know...Asian. But this thread isn't about Street Fighter, so I won't throw my flaming butthurt in that direction. The Resident Evil Movies, are in my opinion, somewhat decent stories on their own, but it's when they rip things straight from the games (Wesker's sunglasses throwing as an example) I get really jimmy rustled. I feel as though the movies use those ripped scenes as a way to say "Yes we have nothing to do with the game's story line, but here, have a scene you've already watched if you played the games" As stupid and childish as it's sounds of me to complain about such minute things like that, it honestly makes me angry. Now a bit of backstory as to why I don't like the movies. I started with the movies actually, when I was about 5 my step dad played Resident Evil 2 a lot, and I would watch him, but I never played a single Resident Evil game all the way through until I was 13, but I had watched the movies, and became obsessed with the franchise. Upon playing the games (at this point the third movie had been out for months) I realized how much more I liked the games, the story line (while certainly not solid by it's own means) was so much more interesting than Mila Jonavich running around pretending to have psychic powers. The movies try to give fans a wink every now and again by throwing in characters like Chris Redfield, Claire, Jill Valentine, and Wekser, but the actors that portray them don't do it for me, but then again, this is a video game we're talking about here, I can't expect real life actors to look, and sound just like the digitally made characters. It's the fact they don't even act like them is what bothers me. Mila Jonavich's character Alice, is honestly one of my least favorite characters ever. Her 'powers' given to her by the T-virus are not even remotely conclusive to what the virus does in the games (Not even Wesker gets psychic powers from his advanced augmentation) and Mila Jonavich is just unattractive to me period, so there's that. Her character's progression in the story is kind of nice I will admit. It's the clone army part that really makes me set down my pop-corn and go "Oh...well that's cool...I guess?" The physics of the third movie movie is what originally started making me question things. "Ocean receded, Rivers dried up" How did that happen? Most people I've asked use the T-virus as an excuse, but Viruses don't attack non-living things like water, so the water had to go somewhere, Matter can not be created or destroyed, it has to go somewhere. I'll admit I'm more than stubborn in my opinion of the franchise, but I'm almost certain someone on here will end up making me rethink that. What are your opinions, why do you feel the way you do about it? SIDE THREAD QUESTION: On the note of RE games, The "Survival Horror" part seems to just ease it's way out gradually, and then stop at 5 and O.R.C. I understand the first games can be annoying to people who start with the later ones, but I started with the classic annoying ass camera angles, and stupid controls, so maybe my stubborn nostalgia keeps me from thinking those games are boring, but do you think the later games are more fun? I can say reluctantly that 5 is more fun than 2,3, or CVX
