Resident Evil 2
 
Hey all, I am back after a 4 month absence. So now I am back to raise hell:D Anyone plan on seeing Resident Evil 2?

KRUGERKID13 08-17-2004 12:28 AM

no i like good zombie movies not crappy based video game zombie movies but thats just me

granitemonkey 08-17-2004 12:30 AM

Well, at least some people are still to trying to keep the horror market alive.

KRUGERKID13 08-17-2004 12:32 AM

yeah by ripping off or remaking stuff thats already been done. Its very rare to find a good horror movie thats semi original and re isnt one of em

granitemonkey 08-17-2004 01:02 AM

You have a good point, not too many original horror ideas floating around.

KRUGERKID13 08-17-2004 01:03 AM

thats why i love Cabin Fever

youshouldvknown 08-17-2004 05:54 AM

Cabin Fever was basically a slasher flick without the slasher.

I'll be seeing RE2. I've got a thing for Milla Jovovich anyway. I liked the first one, though. Seeing as I don't play video games (like some mindless drones) that actually has no affect on whether or not I liked the film. Make-up was good, the acting was great and the story, although a little hokey, was pretty decent. What more is there?

evil_blonde 08-20-2004 12:21 AM

i think ill see that eventually.....

Hate_Breeder 08-20-2004 01:23 AM

I might check it out...

Vodstok 08-20-2004 03:43 AM

I weant to see it, but not in a theater. it look slike it will be more action than the first one, and i dont really want "5th element vs the zombies and nemesis"....


I hope it is at least decent... I need to write some screenplays.... then we will get some original and downright freaky shit in the theaters...plus, then i could put my grea great grandkidds through college if i wanted

goth_poser 08-22-2004 08:39 PM

naw, resident evil sucks...............

carnage 08-26-2004 10:43 AM

I'll prolly go see it, but most likely it will be a rental....

Sam The Egg 08-26-2004 03:51 PM

Re2 is out already?

Proteus 08-26-2004 04:51 PM

I think its gonna be way worse than the first one which was ok but I have to admit Nemesis does look pretty cool!

Proteus

MichaelMyers 08-26-2004 05:32 PM

No thank you.

HauteTension676 08-26-2004 08:07 PM

prob not since i never did see Resident Evil the first one

IDrinkYourBlood 08-28-2004 01:22 AM

I really really REALLY disslike this movie series. Im a fanatic gamer and own the video games, and i gotta say that the movie is nothing like the games at all. RE2 the movie looks so retarded. I dont even consider these Zombie movies (unlike the game which was all about zombies). But scince I am a film fanatic and pop cultur guru I will see it.

CursedRatMonkey 08-28-2004 04:43 AM

I was into The whole Resident Evil games, I even own The first residnet evil movie.

I am dissapointed in paul anderson though.
He did a decent job on the first, but he spent to much money on cgi, that his props, and sets sucked.


And I am kinda dissapointed in the 2nd one, when I saw the trailer, it was mainly action, which completely defeats the perpose of horror and horror based games.

cheebacheeba 08-28-2004 05:23 AM

I suppose it would've been better if they were wondering back and forth between the same places again and again and AGAIN, pushing around statues, searching for fuses, keys and the like?
That kinda thing can make a game, but it'd make a movie pretty fucking boring...

I personally think the nemesis in the trailer looks fucking stupid...the look of the thing in the game just doesn't tranlate into the movie. They should've changed it, you know, like they did everything else?

Rat - don't let a trailer decide the movie for you. They ALWAYS show more action than plot, especially in this type of movie.
I'm not saying it's going to be any good, only to see it before you make your mind up on how shitty it IS.

CursedRatMonkey 08-28-2004 05:29 AM

I haven't made my mind yet.
And I think it would have been better if the Director would have spent his money differently.
He should have used make up more on the zombies then the CGI.
I mean there are two or three zombies in it, that you only see once or twice, and they are CGI zombies.
They are basicly a waste of money.
All you see of them is just them and thats it.
Nothing special about them except the cgi.

They should have only used cgi for the Licker, and thats it.

cheebacheeba 08-28-2004 06:03 AM

Well, if you're saying that you dislike the cgi zombies, I'd agree with you.
A cgi zombie just wouldn't work IMO...makeup gore all the way!

CursedRatMonkey 08-28-2004 06:23 AM

Roger Avary said that "No matter how detailed, and how realistic you make CGI, You still know that it is a computer" or something like that.
I agree with him.

Hey, did you know that dawn and day of the dead had minor computer effects?

On dawn, on the part where the zombie gets the top of his head choped off by the helicopter blades, the blades are not real.

And on day, at the begining, when you see the zombie that had all of his organs sliced, and he brakes loose and reaches towards the main character,and then the doctor drills his head.
The drill bit was actually a straw and they went over it with the computer.

Minor computer efx, that is how they should be used.
For minor adjustments.
Not major parts.
Unless it calls for it.
Like on LOTR, Gollum was acceptable to be a CGI character.
Basicly that movie would have been harder and more time consuming to make without CGI.
But when it comes to horror, you really dont need CGI

Much better, and I would consider it more action than horror.

Sistinas 09-12-2004 10:11 AM

Did anyone go watch this yet?

Lucid Dreams 09-12-2004 11:56 AM

Never thought of it that way......but i hope it comes to the theatres here

Vampenguin 09-12-2004 03:57 PM

Im trying to convince my dad to take me....We watched the 1st last week, he didnt mind it....he actually liked it a little. Prolly cause it was more action than horror.

I think I might get to it this week, maybe

thecritic 09-12-2004 09:09 PM

Overall I thought that it was very good. The action in it was much more exciting, but indeed it was anexxcellent film. I really liked the ending(which I won't say for obvious reasons) but it was very good.

I saw the new one last night.....Thats my opinion on both. All though, the church scence (Until Alice showed up) was kinda horrorish.....Especially him "feeding" his sister....


But ya, AWESOME action movie!!!!! I loved the forst for what it is(Action, not horror).....but this is just so much better!!!!!

HEY SISTINAS WHEN DID YOU BECOME A MOVIE EXPERT.
PROBABLY WHEN YOUR NOT BASHING OTHER MEMBERS RIGHT

cheebacheeba 09-15-2004 06:32 AM

HEY ELSID
WHEN DID YOU START DELUDING YOURSELF INTO THINKING ANYONE MIGHT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT ANYTHING YOU SAY?
BECAUSE WE DON'T...

MrShape 09-15-2004 09:32 AM

Pretty decent zombie pic. Better zombie action then the first one. I think my favorite part was where the reporter gets ripped apart by the zombie school kids.
