It's peak
>>223223337Wish Trevor was here to see this
Maybe. I'm willing to give it a chance. All I know is, the only other movie I've seen by this dude is Weapons, and that shit was atrocious.
RE trannies BTFO
>>223223337Yeah no shit, all the naysay shilling has been so obvious
>>223223337cringe
>>223223223
>>223223377Weapons was great.I hope you don’t like the new RE just to spite you.
>>223223354Zach never would've gotten out from that drunkard's shadow were he still alive.
>>223223337Is there some weird contractual thing that prevents anyone from adapting the video games? Why does every movie have to have its own story?
>>223223408They dont want to credit non-jewish people for writing. All money and fame must stay within the tribe.
>>223223337I like Zach Cregger. There, I said it.
>>223223337>already scoring higher than The Odyssey
>>223223407that's why Zach pushed him off the balcony
>>223223430Odyssey was at 99% in the 40 reviews range you fucking troglodyte. The more reviews you add you can expect the average to trend down just due to laws of statistics.
>>223223408Because the videogames are cringe tranime jap shit for retards about super cops throwing karate kicks and what not, the closest you'll get to that is the Paul WS Anderson movies which everyone thought were shitIt's better to take the suvival horror aspect of RE and make something with that ignoring the cringe lore and characters, also because if you cast some actor for a major role you'll have a bunch of rabid troons complaining endlessly about it, it's not worth it so it's better to just make an original story that vibes with the games properly while also being a good enjoyable movie
>>223223337Pants status?
It's MOTY
Why are fat retards so mad that it's not shot for shot RE2 video game? Just play the videogame then, it's already an audio-video experience.

>visonary filmmaker Zach Cregger (Weapons, Barbarian)SKIIIIIIIIIIIP
>>223223337First video game movie that works as a horror film first and an adaptation second.
The discourse behind this movie proves why Gamers are meant to be low IQ cattle consoomers and not creators
>>223223337HANG ALL RESIDENT EVIL FANSHEIL CREGGER
>>223223403Doesn't really work that way, not for me anyway. Watching bad movies helps refine your personal taste, and appreciate the actual good shit.Watching Weapons helped me appreciate The Monkey more. Not that the latter was an amazing film by any means, or even scary, but the acting and characterization was a lot stronger. Caring about the characters of a movie goes a long way, no matter what genre.I hated every character in Weapons, or at best just didn't give a shit about them. They're flat and lack all personality. Except the kid, he was the best performer out of all of them, but he only got like five minutes. I guess the witch was good too, but by the time she gets around to having anything to do I was checked out and the revelation that it's just that; a random witch using black magic to ambiguously feed off of their spiritual energy was... boring? Kinda felt like three different screenplays stitched together with very little cohesion.I'll be honest, I genuinely have no clue why the film is even titled Weapons, or what the fuck the point of Josh Brolin dreaming about an assault rifle was for, except an extremely lazy way to bring a character into the narrative fold. Maybe the deep, independent, amateur-hour symbolism flew over my head.Oh and fuck the production for having POV chapters for 75% of the movie, and then abandoning it during Wong's segment because Kraglin couldn't spend an extra hour refining his lazy screenplay. Either have the gimmick or don't, but don't just use it and then drop it as soon as it becomes inconvenient. YOU chose to write it that way. Stupid faggot. Fuck that movie, and fuck Trevor Moore. Dude was never funny.
>>223223337why couldn't it have been sam timmy or darren that died
>>223223337Is this movie more like an A24 slow-burn horror or a classic zombie flick?
>>223223337These review aggregators should be shut down. Ridiculous

>>223223473Forget "shot for shot", aside from the name of the city, nothing in this movie has anything to do with Resident Evil.
>>223223610no one is reading this
>>223223742Resident Evil is about mutant monsters chasing you
>>223223337It might be an okay movie but it's still not a resident evil film, so I'm not watching sorry.
>>223223797I write for a living anyway, so it doesn't bother me. Unironically, shitposting paragraphs on 4chan for 15 years is what got me into my career.
>>223223387Most reviews still prove the fans point It’s a good movie, but it’s not really RE outside if you make a huge reach and say the movie plays out like playing one of them games as a fucking retard.
Tell me the minimum list of things that have to happen for it to "be a resident evil movie" or I'll eat your soul
>>223223922>>223223964if it has a zombie outbreak from Umbrella, it's RE, that's the only real requirementthe franchise has a wide margin for creativity, it doesn't have a fixed protagonist, single location or single type of monster, so the complaints that it's not RE are retarded
>>223223455>Because the videogames are cringe tranime jap shit for retards about super cops throwing karate kicks and what not, the closest you'll get to that is the Paul WS Anderson movies which everyone thought were shitMoviefag spotted, there is zero karate kicks in the original game trilogy, much less super-cops. Paul WC Anderson is the only shit you know about RE
I'm waiting for King Armond's review.
>>223224048>if it has a zombie outbreak from Umbrella, it's RE, that's the only real requirementBased on that, RE4 is not a RE game then
EMPTY THEATRES
>>223223408apparently capcom are dicks about the characters doing certain thingsit's why they made the live movies have a separate protagonist and the animated ones never have any consequences for the bigger story, the world always ends exactly as it started
>>223224048>RE is only zombies dudeRetarded opinion.
>>223223337Why isn't this releasing around Halloween?
BLUE: THE FILMBased in RED video game series
why is it called resident evil? it's just another zombie movie
>>223224100>>223224128it's the only real requirement if you're adapting the starting point of the games, the franchise can obviously go anywhere it wants
So far for me, his movies have started off really good but fell off midway through. Hopefully this one is more consistent
>>223224048>if it has a zombie outbreak from Umbrella, it's RE, that's the only real requirementJust learned that RE 7 is not Resident Evil.
it looks like a decent flick actually, who cares about muh gayme canon
>>223223408Because the video games story isn't that good so why adapt it? The premise is definitely cool though on the other hand, so telling a story with the premise but doing your own spin is more interesting for a movie director probably. Also unlike books video games are a visual medium which means adapting them to live action film will cause more problems then it's worth.
>>223223444Was legit my theory at the time. He has the family pedigree to be an illuminati and killing Trevor was his kompromat.
I have a feeling that this is going to be another one of those pretentious metaphorical movies, where 90% of the movie is gonna be spent delving into the psychology of an insecure woman and in the last 10 minutes of runtime we may actual get a glimpse of a zombie. The cover pic just looks like cloverfield lane.
>>223223337Jeremy Jahns only gave it a good time n o alcoholo required so I'm tempering my expectations. Feels like Hollywood critics are all given the same soundbites to repeat nowadays
>>223224213You probably think you're so smart, faggot
>>223224430Wow anon, thanks for telling us your uninformed, retarded opinion!
>>223224536>>223224603go back to plebbit shill
>>223224430You know the script is out there so we already know what is in the movie, right?
>>223223337>/tv/ gets absolutely btfo (again)i believe that even /pol/ is more accurate with their theories and projections than this shitty board.
>>223223610The symbolism is blatant and if you couldn't get it then you shouldn't be watching movies in general
>>223224621Don't pretend you are anything but a retarded newfag. You first.
>>223224430I don't know why you retards say shit like this, Zach is not an "elevated horror" director, there's no deep metaphors in any of his movies, they're just neat horror movies, that's it
>>223224641What are you talking about retard. We always knew this would get shilled to heaven purely based on Cregger's name.
>>223223742RE7 also has nothing to do with Resident Evil for 90% of its playtime.
>>223223815It's about SWAT-looking protagonists fighting decaying zombies to uncover some kind of conspiracy (typically). I wish we had gotten something like that rather than a film about a pothead trying to find his girlfriend or whatever. Oh well.
>>223224682Most of the people complaining don't even play the games, there was a whole decable earlier this year with Requiem and how most people weren't even playing the games and were just watching tiktok reels and calling themselves fans
>>223224663don't forget to dilate your axe wound
>>223224707What an original comeback.
>>223224695Random guy is a much more interesting and compelling protagonist than super anime cops, which is why RE7 worked
>>223224718now go back to plebbit, tranny. Make sure to write an angry post about chud being mean to (You)
>>223224665bland pseud horror. i hope he never touches IP again

>>223223337Fanboyos on suicide watch lmao
>>223223408Because they never bothered to play the vidya to see what they're working with. I'm actually surprised nobody had tried to adapt RE7 into a horror movie
>>223223354Trevor was likable in every way, except his acting was for skits only.
>>223224893>doesn't even have the balls to reply to meAnd you're calling me the tranny? What a pathetic excuse you are for a human being, no wonder this board is dead.You entered a thread you knew nothing about, left a stupid comment, and decided to get into a shitflinging match with the first dude to call you a retard. Your being has no substance, a Hylic in the truest sense of the term..

>>223225137>still too pussy to directly reply.That's fine, your brain isn't developed enough to form coherent thoughts anyway so this argument, if you can call it that, is over. I mean you struggled with a 4 sentence post after all.

Who doubted Zach Cregger
Just fyi to all the conspiracy people in here Zack's uncle was the US ambassador to the Ukraine.
>>223225343Barbarian was shit. Kill yourself.
>>223223797I read it
>>223225288The RE games are a B movie played straight, none of this modern post-irony "*wink wink nudge nudge* this is soo stupid, am I right fellow gaymers?"
>>223225321Well. Now you do. Do better.
>>223225271He is anon, Retardian
>>223225291>give me resident evil>NO NOT LIKE THISgamers
>>223225367I didn’t.
>openly told everybody that would listen that they never played the games, don't care about the games, and would do everything possible to avoid any actual reference to the gamesWhy even name the movie Resident Evil then?
>>223225394Gamers don’t watch movies, they watch futa on their third screens while playing a 20 hour game for a thousand hours.
>>223225288No they aren't. This is just the new talking point by Cregger shills: "RE was always stupid and lame and goofy and that's why this movie should have quips."
It's a comedy btw.
>>223225394Why are you pretending some random retard on twitter is telling the true when the director himself said he didn't take inspiration from the games?
>>223225411Have you heard of money? That’s why.
>>223225411He never said any of that, I don't know why you fags chose this movie of all things to get your panties in a wad over.
>>223223337shit.
>>223223387based
>>223225394>>223225456
>>223225438If the brand name brought in people this series wouldn't have several failed projects.The only one that "went anywhere" were the ones Paul W. S. Anderson ones and that was almost 100% sure because it was just his fetish watching his wife play that character.
>>223225457Hey siri who bought Rotten Tomatoes between the years 2016 and 2020?
>>223223542Man, imagine pretending widow's bay, a fucking horror comedy, is pseudslop or even the same shit as pluribus, /tv/ keeps refusing to watch tv but gets defensive about a fucking videogame.
But how much comedy is it
>>223225463creggers a fag>>223225264
>>223225499>the director is lying about his own movie>random idiot on twitter is telling the truth
>>223223408Name 1 (one) a single movie that is a 1:1 adaptation of video game's story?You can't, it doesnt exist and is not possible and never will be. Why? because they are two different mediums and most of the "story" for video games is the experience of directly interacting with it rather than cutscenes and scripted events.
>>223225490I didn’t say it was a smart reason, Cregger wanted to make a zombie movie, the studio wanted to make a resident evil movie, there ya go. Don’t overthink things.
>>223225529
>>223225477See? Couldn't even post a shred of evidence.
>>223225531Isn't this faggot supposed to a auteur or something? Why is he selling out for money?
>>223225494I kind of enjoyed Widows Bay. I usually hate “deconstructed” entertainment but watching that chick follow the slasher guy all the way to the incinerator with a shotgun was pretty funny.
>>223225589>“deconstructed” entertainmentOh come on, it played it straight, for 8 episodes, with comedy.Even the fucking mushroom trip.
>>223225569Turns out being true to your art isn’t as much fun as being able to buy a home or convincing some woman who is massively out of your league to fuck you. Who knew?
>>223224354first RE trilogy on PS1 haves a more interesting and coherent story than the whole Paul WC Anderson films, WTF are you talking
>>223225411Proof?
>>223225418https://youtu.be/AkFDEiYKqyA
>>223225569>Isn't this faggot supposed to a auteurDid you watch any of his work or look at his cinematography kek? Whitest Kids U Know? Auteur? I say this as someone who likes Barbarian a fair bit and absolutely loves Weapons. He makes fun shit and that's it. There's no "auteur" angle.
>>223224354The first two resident evil games are basically movies, all you have to do to adapt them is replace the gameplay moments with action similar to what the player is engaging and leave the non dialogue basically the same.This movie clearly didn't do that
>>223225529I'm struggling to think of any adaptation that's 1:1 with the source material. I don't know why vidya spergs think their slop should be any different in that regard.
>>223225668Yes I'm sure audiences will be thrilled when the movie pauses every 10 minutes so the protag can read diaries and notes.
So, the people seething about this movie are clearly fans of Milla right?
>>223223455>It's better to take the suvival horror aspect of RE and make something with that ignoring the cringe lore and charactersThen you're not making a RE movie.
#update
>>223225028>I'm actually surprised nobody had tried to adapt RE7 into a horror movieThe Texas Chain Saw Massacre was made 52 years ago.
>>223225658>I will pick RE4, the most over the top RE game to prove my poiEh, not him but everyone knows that 4,6 and 6 are brainless as fuck, opposed to the first trilogy
>>223223377Weapons was great. You’re just retarded. It’s one of few truly great movies of the past 5-6 years.
>>223225874>That was too close...You were almost a Jill Sandwich!
>>223225874>no true resident evil
>>223225874>>I will pick the best game of the franchise by farYes
>>223223337I'm still bothered that he's a supposed fan, and still couldn't understand why Mr. X wears the trenchcoat. He claims it's a "zombie movie" and he's right to an extent, but Resident Evil is more about bioweapons; man-made horrors beyond human comprehension type shit, and not just "zombies". The fact that he thinks it's just zombies is the same reason he can't understand the practical purposes of the coat.
>>223226140There really was no reason for him to appear human in the scenario, to be fair. The city had completely collapsed and his job was to splatter some shitters.
>>223224726Do you think re7 was about a regular guy?
>>223226175Yes? There is nothing special about Ethan and the fungi man is an 8 retcon, which really doesn't change the fact he's still just some dude.
>>223226173I think the developers watched Hellraiser, and thats why nemesis looks the way he does
>>223225682Anyone claiming they want 1:1 adaption don't know what they're talking about. Regardless, video games are a much more engaging and successful medium for telling a narrative and the numbers show that; which is why video games are bigger than hollywood. There is a misconception that video games need to be more like movies (thats where Sony is at rn and their latest attempt is a huge flop) but in reality, it needs to be the other way around.
>>223226173He looks like a giant space marine in some of the early concept sketches. They've got him wearing a respirator and body armor over fatigues, packing a Tyrant sized assault rifle and combat knife. Really sells the idea that they were developing super soldiers vs. dressing him like a school shooter.
>>223225682>>2232262371:1 is impossible, but a adaptation should always aim to be as faithful as possible.If the author wants to create their own story within the universe, they should call it what it is: a spin-off.
>>223225658That kid is way too young to play Leon Kennedy
>>223225411why do you say this shit every thread?
the absolute mogging
>>223225874It always cracks me up seeing these fags talk as if the original franchise was some kind of "serious business" story
