RESIDENT EVIL: WELCOME TO RACCOON CITY - Fan Service Over Everything! 

Elvis is first Ez

Genshin impact cringe

I just wish genshin didn’t have some stupid gacha system to unlock new characters.

Down bad 😞

tbh is quite hard to give gamers a good movie, cause they'll hate it anyway.

@@Immolator772 I mean, literally all of the material is right there. It's not a new story with new characters. The plot, characters, monsters, etc is all there. The director just went with what he thinks is best, and that's why this movie sucks so bad. It's not hard to make video game movies, it's hard for the directors to stick to the already written script.

@@Immolator772 The truth in this hurts.

@@Collin93387 did you watch the video? He basically said it's tough to make a video game adaptation cause If you just copy and paste everything then the viewer might as well just play the original source which is true. My thoughts on it, is just dont make adaptations.

@@Collin93387 even if the director is good i know they will hate it, knowing the mindset of some gamers. Weirdly though, it sometimes works for tv series.

Seriously!! I thought the same thing too. I couldnt stop going 'Why is this RE1/2 and not RE3?'

It was Carlos cosplaying as Leon, although the actor would have to bulk up to play Carlos

That's what I thought!

he's not Latino, he's Indian

@@thedisgruntledidealist he still looks 100x more like Carlos than Leon, it doesnt matter if he's not Latino

Not on this earth, go to earth 616

No go to earth 3,000 that sounds cooler

Jensen Ackles as Chris Redfield Jared Padelecki as Leon Kennedy Of course, this film would have to be made in the early 2000s, and at the cost of Supernatural. Oh, and it would have to be 3 films for the first three games. Bonus: Liam Neeson as Barry Burton

Just so tired of the virtue casting. Black Wesker in the netflix show, whatever shaggy haired Leon is here, all the quota crammed into one person in MoM (Hispanic "America" with token gay parents who wins the day with girl power). Shit, man, just try to stick to the source material or make a different movie. Ada Wong is literally Chinese. You want diversity, just fucking give her a meaningful role in the movie. RE4 literally takes place in Spain, so if you want hispanic or plain Spanish actors, just fucking GO THERE. It's really not that hard to just include diverse characters, in a story that is written to just include them organically. Charles Xavier isn't a cripple so you can go "look at the cripple" and then the next scene starts, he's just in a wheelchair. It's not his defining character trait, it's just who he is. Just do that.

@@dowfreak7 Hard Facts!

Follow up to this: His comment of “you might as well play the game” doesn’t work considering playing a video game and watching a movie are VERY different experiences. One is about participation while the other is about spectacle.

Honestly, if the movie was actually good, the fanservice wouldn't be a problem. But with how bad it is, the fanservice is just painful

The fan service actually makes this the best resident evil movie. 😂

Like at least we got some.

Joannes: I don't want too much fanservice Also Joannes: *every few seconds* hey remember this bit from the games!?

That scene where all of the characters just fucking bullied Leon was wild to me lmao

@@bigdadybojangls9219 right, like Leon's a Chad lmao

You know how Tim Burton was still a producer in the Joel Schumacher Batman movies but didn't have any of Burton's trademarks on them? Well, guess who's name pops up as a producer but seems to have had more input?

He changed the way he looks and the way he acts. He doesn't deserve to call himself a fan.

I mean let's be honest. Leon's a giant dork. He says things in the silliest way and he reacts to things in a way normal people just don't react. But he wasn't a loser. He was a competent cop, and was good at handling stressful situations. This movie completely ruined that and made him so pathetic and annoying.

Leon is such a cool character. To make him a bumbling idiot is such a weird choice

It's sad too because avan jogia did really well as him and it's sad because of how shit they made him portray Leon.

also how is he an anti-hero?

I’d hardly call him a man of few words in RE4; he threw out one-liners left and right. But yeah, his portrayal in this dog shit movie was mind boggling.

@@menoseloso119 throwing one liners doesn't make you talkative, he became a man of few words later though. He's not as optimistic as he once was.

Movies based on games/books/anime/cartoons are made for normies. That explains why they are so bad. They feel they need to make stuff for everyone rather than people who actually go see it. Though the reason why no one recognized you is because actual fans knew it would be a dumpster fire and stayed the hell away.

Where’s everyone going? Bingo?

@@tigeruntamed6036 There is no way this particular film was made for normies. If you didn't know who the Ashford twins were, just as one example, then that whole scene (lifted directly from the game) makes absolutely zero sense as it had zero effect on the narrative of the film. This movie was made entirely for people who know the games and has no entrance point whatsoever for anyone who doesn't. Even the characters seem to know that they're in a zombie apocalypse before they've even seen one zombie. It was like everyone had played the game and already knew the script.

@@joshuapray Guess you didn’t read anything I said. Every adaptation has been made for the general audience. Meaning they don’t make it for fans they make it for everyone.

@@joshuapray This movie was made for those who know little about RE and those who do agree it’s trash

Since this is the only movie that has Lisa it's automatically the best Resident Evil movie

And he is hot in RE4

He was. It wasn't until he was recruited into the FBI that he become the badass, from there recruited into the Secret Service and then into some BSAA style program. Leon has gone through multiple agencies since his RPD day (It was 1 day), but at that moment he was a nobody who would have been lucky to survive without Ada guiding him.

Even as a rookie he wasn't this much if a rookie

Leon was only a "boy scout" in resident evil 4,after that game he matured and became much more colder

@Chandler Burse Leon was told to stay away because the infections were already out of control before his first day.

The casting for Leon Kennedy should be a crime. LET MATHEW MERCER DO THE DAMN VOICE

This movie is a great example of that. They translated direct quotes, scenes, outfits and locations from the game and they utterly failed to understand what make them appealing to the fans

Dude two things stuck out the most to me of just how much they missed the point of this. 1 was Wesker & Birkin's meeting, these 2 have history in the games, work rivals turned co-conspirators in the murder of their mentor to take over his research, both men who betrayed Umbrella for their own self serving needs and in the movie they had no history, nothing, just random strangers. The other being Lisa Trevor, her backstory is one of the most tragic stories in the series, of a young innocent girl brought to the Spencer estate because her father built it, her whole family kidnapped and used as test subjects for both the virus and the Mansion's death traps, Lisa being left the only survivor due to her high adaptability to the virus which is how the G-Virus got made, the virus having damaged her mind so much that she killed her own mother and ripped her face of and wears it alongside her own peeling face in hopes to give it back to her when she sees her again. Movie Lisa was just some orphan Birkin experimented on which became friends with a young Claire. The director didn't get it, everything he said was just PR babble he rehearsed to get fans into watching his sub par, direct to tv movie he conned his way into putting in theaters. Sonic The Hedgehog literally did it better, paid fan service while also being it's own movie, and even using the iconic gold rings as an actual plot significant item that meant something and explain why Sonic needs to collect them

Not to mention the amount of shit they get wrong. It’s more a slap in the face to fans than anything

This is why the Sonic Movie and Detective Pikachu succeeded and hopefully the Uncharted film will as well. Its because these movies focused on being GOOD MOVIES FIRST then added the fan service to make fans happy

could just made outbreak files at this point

Because Shaq turned down the role for Nemesis

Bc 1 is better than 3

And if it succes, they can make the prequel Resident Evil 1

Exactly it would’ve made actual sense since those games took place the same time the movie would make sense

Wesker. What the Fuck was that Wesker?

Yeah that's like turning batman into a black woman and still calling her batman.

@@JPwendi black Batgirl with red afro came rly close

@@Jimoshi1 christ, the only thing I'm excited for in the new flash movie is when they reboot everything.

@@calemr He keeps bouncing around at being full blown evil, sympathetic villain and just a coward. And the fact he'll be the underling of Ada and her agency was the cherry on top.

He said he like re even before the movie was announced

Yeah I agree a 100%, I don't even think this guy has really played a resident evil game in his entire life, he probably just skimmed through one, saw some interesting shit and decided to put it in the movie, Because no one who's a true fan of Resident Evil even in the slightest would butcher this movie like he did.

And to say this movie is complete garbage compared to the other resident evil movies that were so much closer to the source material cuz they have shits tons of adding things to it. compared to this garbage, if the guy wanted to make a movie of resident evil he should just followed Spencer mansion cuz the movie literally showed the Spencer mansion yet he ignores it by making all these Easter eggs -_-

This is why I'd rather watch fan films on youtube

My exact thoughts for Dwayne Johnson, and his “passion” for Black Adam. He can’t even attempt an ancient Egyptian accent

Yeah - I know people didn’t like the casting - but I’ve said it before “as long as the charecter is there.” And Leon is just a mess. He was always green but using his tracing to deal with the situation - here he did not know anything.

Fuck you guys, I think they cast the perfect person. He knows nothing and that's perfect too.

@@nosignificancejustrandomwo70 not really

@@nosignificancejustrandomwo70 He looks nothing like Leon and is a complete moron basically which is just straight up disrespectful to the character lmao How tf is he perfect as Leon

@@doncornetto you do realize there is minorities with actual blonde hair. Especially Latinos.

@@meganfraser810 Watching a movie in the dark, it's just easier to use something like that since it doesn't require writing lmao.

Jesus Christ, in one movie?!?!

@@SavouryGalette Yep lmao. They worked really hard for that R-rating.

idk what impresses me more, that they managed it 93 times, or that you have an abacus, used it, and used it well XD

"Don't bother tryna analyze these rhymes. In this song I say "fuck" 93 times!" It's literally the same count as an ICP song.

Yeah ok mr. Perfect

@@nicolauschandra6777 Cope, Seethe, Mald

"If they wanted to do a mashup of 2 games, then do 2 and 3, since they literally overlap with each other" That's literally what I was thinking. RE1 and 2 take place two months a part, it wouldn't really make sense. But 2 and 3 literally happen within 24hrs of each other, with 3 ending 2 days later.

This is why i don't trust Hollywood for game or anime movie adaptation, they screw up everything. Remember Dragon Ball Evolution? and most recent Netflix Cowboy Beebop, don't forget that.

@@nicolauschandra6777 look man, if some kid on the internet can point out all the errors in your adaptation, maybe the person getting payed to make said adaptation should do their homework a little better

I think he referred to the older version of Leon after RE:4 while trying to portray the rookie Leon. Which is absolutely dumb

Even so, if my memory is right, Leon wished to become a police officer to protect and help others since childhood and he graduated from the police academy with the best score in his class. So certainly Leon knows why he becomes a cop and the S doesn't stands for stupid.

@@cielargent true

You mean the remake Leon. You do know that that’s a remake of a fake that already exists and doesn’t have to be the blueprint since they changed some things around. I.E leon being hungover in the original being the reason he was late to his first day, and not the change of being told to stay behind

@@cielargent where does it say that at all in the lore?

Gotta shill for Hollyweird, without at least a raceswap and wahman of pawah you can't have your film It seems.

Dogshit casting choices

It almost feels like RE fans are a bunch of 10 year olds who want to see their favourite dolls in live action. Acting? Dialog? A plot that makes sense? Nah, just give us dolls that look like in the gamezzzz.

@@550077 it's based on something that already exists. Shouldn't they look at least a bit similar?

​@@550077 Not really a huge RE fan, I've played like 1 or 2 games and thats about it so I dont really care about this movie (Altho I do like the speedrunning community for RE games). I'm highlighting this quote from the article because Elvis pointed out the casting choices for the movie like Wesker, noting how they had to constantly remind us that he is Wesker (Even slapping sunglasses on him like he said), so that made me wonder, why not just hire someone that actually look like the character instead of constantly reminding us that they are that character? Hence the quote. I see no issues with someone not being identical to their counterpart, for instance Flash Thompson in the recent Spiderman movies isn't Flash Thompson from the comics, does it bother me? No not really, I don't see the movie constantly reminding me that hey this is Flash, look he wears the same stuff and has blonde hair! Instead the actor just does his thing and it just works y'know?

She doesn't even say"Joseph." It's "Joseeeee-" and it's so fucking funny to me

Exactly how it’s summed up. See an adaptation? Just read or play the original because adaptions are huge disappointments.

@@antisocialal4799 Not always true, but like, 90% of the time yea

He was only gone a month lol

@@RasnakJS 1 year in RU-vid time

Elvis! I Choose You!

It's my guilt pleasure too

Stfu it's called taking a break

Who cares what he looks like he acts ENTIRELY OPPOSITE to his game version that’s the only important thing

@@yelhsanosnhoj6602 Both are important

Cool for me I really loved the movie as a resident evil fan

After this one I think it's going to be a while before we get another :(

@@DrRynsta The Netflix series is coming later this year I think

Ikr? It already has that B movie vibe that would work perfectly for a cinematic adaptation.

the first paul W anderson film almost got it right but it didn't really work as a adaptation

@@ScoutTrooperMan Agreed. As a zombie film, I liked it. But it wasn't really a resident Evil film.

It's wild that the Anderson RE movies had some characters looking pretty accurate. But lacked their personality and played no big part. This movie had a bit of their looks just a bit and none of the personality

The 1st game is unadaptable. Nobody has done it and probably nobody will. You can squeeze both Jill’s and Chris’ cutscenes and dialogs into a 30 minute video, and I’m being very generous, because they will include dramatic monster encounters, boss fight intros and puzzle cutscenes. The game’s backstory is told through documents and pictures you find. The game is known for its oppressive atmosphere, grotesque visuals and intriguing sound design. The actual plot (what is actually happening and relevant to show on screen) could be described in up to 3 paragraphs. Good luck with that.

@@550077 you mean they would need to add more for it to work oh no how could they write a script.

@@Humble197 They would need to invent an entirely new script that would end up being unrelated to the game. I think Anderson and Roberts realized this very quickly. How on earth do you solve this? You can invent your own story that is unregognizably different from the the original game. This is what Anderson did. It was fine as a movie, but it didn’t adapt anything. Roberts tried another approach: combining 2 games into one. He got a complete nonsense. I also read the original Romero script that was supposed to become the RE adaptation. It sucked. If anyone can do better, show us.

@@550077 The last twenty minutes could be running from the tyrant or Mr x either one works they are both scary. The first twenty give or take can be dedicated to knowing these characters and watching them die. The middle just needs to be them exploring the mansion/police station discovering stuff and getting jumpscared and killed. There you go the structure for the plot is so easy to setup. The games are setup pretty well for a standard horror movie its really not that difficult. The biggest issue would be budget.

Sonic

Same but as soon as I saw Leon, Albert, and Jill. I knew there was a red flag lmao

@@MisterJakeC I thought they was gonna go with RE 2 and 3 but mfs decided to start from the beginning and line up all the events 💀

Same. I didn’t think it was going to be amazing but the way the recreated the game locations made me feel so hopeful for it to at least be decent. Oh boy.

@@Friedphesh Yeah that was when I knew it would be a disaster, they tried too hard to make it like the games when you really can't translate a games story in to a movie unless it's already basically a movie anyway. Obviously what the Wes Anderson movies did with the franchise was insane but cramming too much fanservice in this was an awful idea, especially when you're making the plot so far removed from the games at the same time.

@mrcheesemunch Agreed. The movie was advertized as being true to the games… but it’s really not? At least I got some ironic entertainment from the Wes Anderson ones because of how crazy they were. This one was just painful.

yeah

dude.. this is racist.....kkkkkkk.. unfair play... he look exactly like Carlos !! srsrsr

@@PauloSilva-ep9ox he does!

@@Immolator772 he looks like carlos from the game carlos

Anti-Hero just means any character who doesn’t follow the traditional heroic archetype. These days that means “brooding bad boy with villainous qualities”, but in the past it typically referred to characters who were reluctant and lacked the typical “alpha male manly man” qualities. If you go back far enough, a lot of the qualities we currently associate with anti-heroes would have actually been considered traditional heroes. While a lot of characters we currently consider normal heroes, would have been labeled anti-heroes.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah man LMAO LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL thats the best comedy movie even paul anderson didnt funny shit like that hahahahaha

Plot Armor 100%

Logic 101, Ladies and Gentlemen.

I agree that that'd be a good casting choice. I still remain hopeful that they will do a Resident Evil TV series, more so streaming service as that's where much of the money is now anyhow lol, because originally, there were talks of it being a series rather than another movie adaptation. There are pros and cons to series compared to movies but at least with a series with 1 or 2 seasons, they could flesh out the characters more and would not have to rush the story. They could definitely stretch it out then.

yeah Antony Starr would have been perfect.

I just finished The Boys like 2 days ago and holy shit you're absolutely right. No one could play a manipulative psycho better than Antony

​@@halfmoontech I highly suggest you watch Banshee. Hood is who I will always see Antony Starr as. what a legendary show.

@@Ezekialify I'll check it out thank you!

@Average Joe careful you might get called a racist when you say that 🤣

Or act like anyone in the games. They were the characters in name only.

@Chandler Burse I don't really care what any of them looked like, as long as they still felt the characters through their personalities and actions. Which none of them did except maybe Chris.

@Chandler Burse Chandler, honey. Please stop trying to defend your holy grail of movies. Leon looks nothing like Leon and his uniform doesn't help in the least. It's alright to like a movie but going to every comment that makes a genuine critique of it and trying to refute their points is not gonna make the movie better

@@anonnona5790 weirdly hostile and catty reply but go off

Literally the part when I turned the movie off.

@@taintedbunny11 Literally the part when it peaked my interest. At least it shows someone knew the RE universe and the memes around it.

@@dobrowolsk bruh, u did not just say the director k ow the re universe. Have you ACTUALLY watched the movie?😂

@@dobrowolsk well that is THE most surface level reference of all the games, EVERYONE who has even heard of the game knows about that joke

@@dobrowolsk I guess 12 year old me was a fan of resident evil since I knew the Jill Sandwich line before I've even played/watched a resident evil game. Simply knowing a joke doesn't make you a fan.

I’d take this over the Netflix show any day😂

Avan Jogia

Lol

thank you for that info

YEAH HE'S NAME IS AVAN JOGIA

Right! I have literally played the Resident Evil 2 remake over 5 times now. But I cannot sit through watching this movie again.

I don't really understand why everything needs to be made into a live action movie or TV show anyways tbh. Like the director himself said just play the games. It's not like it's a book or something that a film adaptation adds elements a book can't have or anything, really it just takes away the best parts

Untill you realize that Plot Armor makes Crish teleport out of danger with every cut. You are unarmed, with your back on the wall and 3 zombies pushing you? Don’t worry, they don’t bite! Also in the next scene you are alteady far from them

The scene of that very first zombie encounter from the original game is a scene I think everyone would've kicked and screamed about it, if it wasn't in the movie.

If only I could remember it…

It's my favourite part of this film. The zombies are awesome in this film, but sadly underused

​@@lewislewis3531 yep like the zombie mom and kid at the beginning those genuinely scared me.

I always thought he was a mustache twirling villain, like in RE5, where you fight him by shuting the lights off, i always love to imagine he being like "hmpf, can't see anything but I'M TOO COOL TO TAKE OFF MY SUNGLASSES TO SEE BETTER", really cool

@@justrandomstuff6828 He was always this over the top villain, like In both RE1 and Veronica where he can't resist and starts monologuing about his evil plans. It's this level of cheesiness that makes Wesker such a memorable villain.

@Chandler Burse Sorry, I meant In the avarice way of "Yes! More money for my evil deeds! I can now buy a golden opala!" Instead of the "I need this money for retirement/save my sick kid."

Why is no one mentioning Jill, the actual elephant in the room. It's insane how woke people just blatantly ignore things.

@@robbobbrah8953 I feel insulted seeing what they did with Jill and Wesker.

Those movies would've worked way better together since they take place at the same time. The events between RE1 and 2 take place some time apart from each other rather than being at the same time or back to back.

Could’ve did RE0 and RE1 then RE2 and RE3

You clearly had more fun with this movie than me and my friends did. I actually envy you lol

that would have been a hell of a date

Did you survive?

Bursted in?

That's cause Donald Logue is a great actor

I almost stood up and left, to be honest.

@@550077 It was so absurd it was funny that’s the thing and that’s why I love that scene

Especially since the beginning feels like a lost footage movie like The Blair Witch project, they could make a movie that would either be lost footage or slasher or thriller and it can just work wonderfully

i think that would be so cool, they could make it look like a sort of found footage movie as long as they keep the characters the same 😭😭😭

Bro Village as a movie would be cool af. The giant castle, heisenbergs boss fight, the entire character of Moreau, all of that would be so damn cool on the big screen.

@@makaelaischillin If a Village movie was made, I feel Dimitrescu should have a bigger role. Maybe even played by the same actress from the game albeit in CGI mo-cap.

They wont

I liked the move

@@andrewharrison6806 I liked the move too

Listen the movie wasn’t terrible and wasn’t very good either. Where is nemesis birkins wife also help create the G virus. This movie only took elements from the 1st and 2nd game and said that is it. the mansion and raccoon city incident take place at different times. Really did not show much of umbrella maybe this is why capcom choose Paul Anderson script over anyone else because it was different. The review that this is the best of all the resident evil movies is a joke this ain’t the worst but certainly is not the best. The anime movies and Paul Anderson resident evil movies are better than this movie in a long shot.

@Chandler Burse she barely even has any character she’s only in it for one game, and that game is just her simping over Leon

I liked Claire the most. But that's not saying much

Exactly! Even if they had good writers Taking RE1 and RE2 stories and showing it into one story would still fail. But of they did a Resident evil 0 + resident evil 1 = movie it would be way more coherent but would still fail because each game story is way to big to be in a movie.

I’m not to into resident evil games/movies, but I still feel really bad for Resident Evil fans. You guys deserve so much better than what you got😔

@@screamingbean7509 Aww, thanks! I really appreciate.

Honestly this movie made me visibly angry like this is so trash I can't believe I wasted my money on it

@@screamingbean7509 At this rate, I just wish they won't do anymore of this movies, it was fun back in the 2000s to wish for a live action RE getting made, then the Anderson films got made which...some were Okay and the rest were bad and then this reboot got made that made those Anderson RE films look good in comparison lol

So let's give this movie a big ol WHAT !? What is this ?

yeah, i liked him, but not as Leon, he could've easily been a completely different character if they just changed his name to something else

@@jellyraptor3556 Yeah especially since the director sees Leon as an Anti Hero even though he joined the force to help people.

Well silent hill movie used a woman as a protagonist and not a man which was in the game and the movie was actually really good and i liked it so dont judge the changes that much because nothing is perfect in life

I heard about how Leon was portrayed and i refuse to watch this garbage movie..such a bummer..I dont even want them to make video game movies anymore cause all they do is spoil them..

haha I had a couple cups of wine before hand which did help at least

Even with alcohol involved I’ll never watch it again. I would rather replay resident evil 3 remake and I hate that game

Tbh that’s basically what happens in RE6 which is…the last RE game you want to take inspiration from. I like it but it’s definitely the worst

They did the exact same things with the remakes and it really irritates the hell outta me

Exactly. If the director has any teen kids, I literally would buy that he just made them the writers and said, "Have at it." I mean good Lord (facepalm). This movie's dialogue made me cringe more than any movie's dialogue has in a long time. I was not expecting it to be super nuanced but just like, 10-15% more nuance is all I would've asked for for cryin out loud.
