If it wasnt for Mila, Anderson wouldnt sell a single one of his movies...
-
I facepalmed when my wife said "which game is Alice in?"
-
Anderson: "Ladies and gentlements, my beautiful wife, the goddess of apocalypse"
-
We didn't deserve Sienna. They didn't deserve Sienna. The best Jill depiction ever.
-
I accidentally watched the Monster Hunter movie (stuck around for Tony Jaa), I’ve never played the games, but I remember thinking “why the hell is Milla Jovovich always the post apocalyptic Billy badass?” Then I learned who directed it, and it all made sense lol
-
Fun fact, each movie also has a novel tie in and those novels have the Herculean task of filling in the gaps between each movie. In particular the penultimate one actually details the entire battle at the White House (which it turns out IS against a rouge AI called the black queen) and details how Leon and Ada get eaten alive by a plant monster
-
What's so striking to me is how the stories come off as so incoherent considering Paul W. S. Anderson directed 4 of the 6 films and produced and wrote ALL 6 films. Like, it's entirely on him, he couldn't keep the story straight.
-
Dude what they did with Luthor was absolutely foul, like legit no secondary character can live one movie without dying or being absent and come back just to die.
-
Biggest sin of Apocalypse was how much they made Jill look like a geek next to Alice.
-
5:44 Poor Jill only gets one cool scene of headshotting a few zombies then Alice upstages her for the rest of the film.
-
"i was 9 when the second movie came out" uuurgh...be still, old beating heart.
-
Alien and Terminator has only two movies. The rest can be eliminated.
-
Man the actress of jill Valentine and ada wong were wasted on this trash. These two actors could've had their own bad ass RE live action
-
I am convinced that Paul W.S. Anderson wrote the scripts for these movies without even rewatching his own movies. The fact that they not only shit all over the game lore, but can't even be consistent amongst themselves is just astonishing. Resident Evil deserves better, goddamn it!
-
4:56 that guy stumbling on the right gets me every time😂
-
I remember when 1 of my friends came to school excited to tell us he saw Resident Evil. Quickly another friend asked if you really do get to see Milla Jovovichs bush. He answered yes and it was lovely
-
It still blows me away. How ridiculous this movie series is. And how much more sense the video games make when you dig into lore.
-
When Alice said "This is truly rac city." I stood up in my chair clapping.
-
While I agree overall and never planning to watch many entries of this series I have some comments: 1. The first Resident Evil movie is actually pretty decent when judged on its own. 2. Alice is a highly trained operative, tasked with a mission of protecting secret underground facility pretty much on her own - jump to "She's literally Trinity" in RE2 is at least somewhat believable.
-
When Alice's boyfriend/husband is also the director no enemies are gonna kill this person😆😂🤣💯👍
