>unsettled by a middle aged woman getting handsy with him>the blood she leaves behind on the seat while he was trying to take her to the hospital is obvious imagery of menstruation, childbirth, or miscarriage/infertility (a la The Devi's Advocate)>body horror of inescapable entanglements between people that threaten their agency and independence>spends the entire movie being pursued by the union of a childless couple who got a dog to cope>disturbed by an empty child safety seat>indulging paternal instincts with the little girl had consequences he'd have to deal with for the rest of his life>entire movie is an arduous journey to a hospital that ends in a maternity ward>ultimately breaks down about how afraid he was to grow up and become a fatherNot only was it the best Resident Evil movie, it was the best Silent Hill movie. I haven't seen anyone hate this other than low IQ nerds. We basically just got the modern equivalent of what Stanley Kubrick did to The Shining.
>>223352712Just because it says something doesnt mean its relevant
>>223352712This is a rare midwit/high iq team up against the retard low iq resident evil fan.
>>223352712thank you for putting words to thoughts that can't escape my retarded brain.
>>223352712the movie is very pro-life
>>223353306honestly the fact that he felt shame and regret at suggesting she have an abortion was almost shocking in a hollywood movie.
>>223352712i hated that every single person in that movie other than the cop were the worst human beingson earthall the sarcastic west coast wuippy scientiststhe soldier black woman who acts like a complete retardthe main char retardthe doctors all acting like cuntswhy would i want to watch a movie where i literslly hate everyone?
>>223353419just like real lifeall it needed was a triage nurse being an absolute cunt to him
>>223352712>dips finger in zombie ass blood
Cregger won.Worthless video game faggots lost.
>>223352712>Undercuts any tension with reddit humor
>>223353853Horror comedies are superior to standard horror.
>>223352712How the fuck did they get the shadows so good in this movie?Cinematic kino.
>>223353419Its interesting watching a long line of fuck ups when you thing about it.I mean that's how the virus got out.Not by competency.
>>223352712One could also view the end as a metaphor for him accepting/facing his fearCause like you said the combining mutant is basically a representation of his fear of losing his identity/his independence
I thought the movie was pretty good. Felt like it was poking a lot of fun at the series. Capcom is definitely going to steal the idea of The Thing zombies.
>>223354311it felt like a jumble up of uroboros , plagas, and g-virus to me. guess paying homage to each of them in some way.
>>223352712Is this a zombie movie? I don't follow resident evil, never have but I do like zombie movies
>>223352712>it was the best Silent Hill movieNo, the best Silent Hill movie is Jacob's Ladder, you uncultured swine.
>>223354311They've already done elements of The Thing here and there with the snowballing biomass of Birkin, Nyx, and Salazar combining with his surviving Verdugo, leeches mimicking Marcus, and visual similarities to Las Plagas and Uroboros. It's part of what's so weird about "real fans" getting so mad at this movie. It was a possibly one-and-done shot at the franchise that did a greatest hits amalgamation of various bioweapons over the year and told an original dense story with limited screentime that didn't have time to explain everything with notes or expect you to just accept the lizards and plants.>>223354512That depends on your definition of zombies. If you're a guy who thinks 28 Days Later and The Last of Us aren't real zombies, then no. If you do, then yes and you more or less know what to expect out of it.
>>223354658Look up what a coincidence is in the dictionary, you inbred retard.
>>223354537>Jacob's LadderBoomerslop still crying about muh Vietnam 30 years later.
Monsters sucked. Rushed shitty ending. Turd slop man
All positive reviews are shills.
>>223352712>We basically just got the modern equivalent of what Stanley Kubrick did to The ShiningWho is paying these shills? Presumably Sony, right? Fuck me. They're not sending their best.
>DUDE! It's like Stanley Kubrick!That's the shill word for this, huh?
>not a single Umbrella logo in the labHmmm... Almost like this wasn't a Resident Evil movie until it was finished.
>>223352712even if you think this is profound (its not), the movie still forgot about its themes in the midpoint and especially the ending.I enjoyed it bc of the comedy regardless tho
>>223354537But, the best movie other than Jacob's Ladder that gets close to capturing the essence of what Silent Hill is really about has to be Annihilation.
>>223355333>I enjoyed it bc of the comedy regardless thoThe comedy was cringe reddit bullshit.
>>223352712its ok. her and her unborn dead baby turn into a spider person along with 20 others
>>223355357the only weak line was the video games one and the scientist scene was kinda meh.
>>223355357I bet you’re fun to go to the movies with.Fucking ass turd.It was a fun flick.
>>223355296I had this same feeling walking out but there were way too many bits throughout that were very obviously poking fun at people screwing up/getting stuck while playing the games (the recurring gag with the locks being the most obvious). I feel like it wouldn't have been reasonable to add all the stuff like that and the first-person shots in reshoots alone, and if they did they wouldn't have had any reason not to add the Umbrella logo unless they just didn't feel like using it.
>>223354537>>223355334The first Silent Hill game is just a ripoff of Dean Koontz's Phantoms. That's where they got the whole setting of a foggy resort town crawling with monsters, where all the people have mysteriously vanished and a siren goes off when weird shit is about to happen. It's where the giant moth comes from. The cryptic message written on the bathroom mirror that's just a book title and author. Cybil is Matt Damon's character from the movie; the cop from the next town over who came to see what happened when they suddenly lost contact with their colleagues. The biggest difference is that a powerful psychic caused all of it to happen instead of a deposit of sentient crude oil, which is admittedly a much better explanation.
>>223352712I liked it. I wish it was a little better but as far as video game movies go pretty high up there desu. The comedy just didn’t land though. I did laugh when he said “fuckin…….monsters” for some reason but the rest of it and his little girl scream just didn’t work. Would easily go from an 7/10 to an 8/10 if they just workshopped some of that dialogue or took a different tone imo Oh I also chuckled at him really wanting the cure and trying to hide how infected he was
>>223355296It was Resident Evil since at least the April 2023 date on the leaked draft.
>>223355566Nice digits
>>223355471>this butthurt because someone called out taste in reddit humorkek what a bitch
>>223355473>there were way too many bits throughout that were very obviously poking fun at people screwing up/getting stuckSo every horror movie ever?
>>223352712I could tolerate the humor until the end with the scientists. That whole scene was fucking retarded.
>>223352712>video game movie>"a-a-actually it's a deep introspective psychological analysis about abortion and miscarr-"Fucking lmao, please tell me you're getting paid for this shit because otherwise it's just pathetic at this point.
>>223355755At least I’m not a fucking ass turd, buddy.
>>223352712Ruined by the ending. Conceptually okay, just terrible in execution. Even if you liked it, they don't even let the moment sit enough to feel the impact of it, and it happening at all isn't enough of one since by the time it's finally owari da, he's already been transformed for a while
>>223355762The scene of him losing one of his last like five bullets by trying to shoot a lock off of a door and missing is very much a joke about wasting ammo in a game with no real analogue in original horror movies. Also moments after that we get a scene of him leaving behind an audio log like the kind that's scattered all over the ground in video games.
>>223353614>his second lowest income box office film >can't even break the highest Resident evil film despite being the most critically acclaimed Lmaoooo
>>223356143Shooting locks off doors is a thing in police and action movies constantly you retard, how the fuck is that like a video game?When has anyone tried to shoot any locked door in resident evil that doesn't have an obvious giant comical lock the size of a watermelon that you're supposed to shoot off?
>>223352712>low IQ nerdsSaid the grown man who lives with his mom
>>223356143>and missing is very much a joke about wasting ammo in a game with no real analogue in original horror moviesthen why have a scene where he shoots the lock with the shotgun and doesn't miss.. twice?he already knows shooting it won't break the lock point blank, this is just bad writing
>>223356319Sage if you're going to post in these shit threads anon, don't give them free bumps.
>>223356143Wasting ammo doesn't matter in a movie where you have infinite ammo. Dude fires the cops handgun like 25 times without reloading. Over a hundred with the SMG. Fumbles like 30 shells for the shorgun, which promptly disappears for no reason. Seriously does he just drop the shotgun on the side of the road? It makes no sense.
>>223356316>When has anyone tried to shoot any locked door in resident evilIf you were playing one of these for the first time when it came out and not somebody who only played the game 20 years later after watching somebody else beat it on YouTube there's a good chance you gave it a try.>>223356337>>223356337The Resident Evil games quite literally have some locks that you can shoot through and some that you can't. The only reason for him to attempt it again is video game logic. You're proving my point.>>223356397Yeah this stuff bothered me too. I'm not trying to paint it as an outstanding movie, but you'd have to not be paying attention at all to not catch how much of it is referencing what it's like to play the games (not necessarily the canon events of the games, but the actual average person's playthrough).
>>223353853mind you this is WITH the cut, there apparently was supposed to be a lot more
>>223355251they don't even know how to shill because even people who liked the movie found some flaws in it
>the blood she leaves behind on the seat while he was trying to take her to the hospital is obvious imagery of menstruation, childbirth, or miscarriage/infertility
>>223352712Why is there no cam torrent for this movie? Im sure as fuck not paying for it.
>>223352712I liked the end when the two cute female scientists got brutally slaughtered
>>223356523>If you were playing one of these for the first time when it came outI was playing the games when they first came out and I don't know anyone who was dumb enough to try that shit because it's not commonplace in any video game.>le video game logicNo, it just makes the protagonist look like a fucking retard. Most games don't let you shoot open locked doors.
Its rumored director Zach Cregger didn't even get the damn resident evil license until they were like 2/3 done filming. Hence why none of the zombies and monsters are anywhere similar to those of the games. Cregger created some hybrid zombie combining 28 days later, last of us and dead space version.Only videdo game references I saw was a god damn 1st aid spray and the box of shotgun shells.
>>223357312It's actually really blatant and her frozen body is also positioned like he's entering a delivery room.
I thought it was good but I wish it took itself more seriously, personally. This was better than Weapons at least, that movie was overrated as fuck, it was advertised as this crazy scary movie and yet it's a horror comedy like this one. A mediocre one at that. This horror comedy had better scares, honestly.I'm just tired of my movies being drenched in insincerity, irony, and comedy that evaporates all tension and discomfort at every possible turn. Movie makers need to stop being afraid of being considered "cringe", it shows in their work like an ugly pustule.
>>223358047"Horror" directors don't know how to make a scary movie anymore. They think "rawr, I'm a monster" or "squeek, I'm a rat" is scary. Like the fat man with the rats. Unless you have a phobia or are a woman, that's not going to keep you up at night. Same with the bodies dropping from the rooftops.And it's because they don't want to make a horror movie, they want to make an action movie that wears horror as a skinsuit.
>>223356316"why can't I just shoot through the doors?" was a common piece of commentary on these games back in the day.
>>223356308it came out 4 days ago, r u dumb
it doesn't matter how many 'memberberries from the games get thrown in as easter eggs if the movie doesn't do anything with themNo, having padlocks get in the way doesn't make it a clever nod, because he never has to go looking for a keyNo, having first aid spray flash up in a random scene doesn't matter, because he never uses itHe doesn't use the herb that shows up, it's just there. Probably cg'd inThe typewriter doesn't do anything, it's just there to make people go "hey, I 'member that!"
>>223353863The real Resident Evil movies are funnier than cregger's deadpool imitation.
>>223355334>4'11" middle aged women with a million dollars of plastic surgery on they face alone TCOB & kickin ass on alien planet?yeah I am not watching this
>>223358590Zach is showing how cynical he is with that shit. He thinks the audience are retards who deserve to be scammed. He thinks he's better than the IP he's forced to marry his script to to sell his mediocre soiflix movie.
Has this been the worst year for /tv/ psychologically in the site's entire history?They got battered, bruised, raped. It's even worse than when the entire board was unusable for months due to Hawkeye.
>>223358669I think watching (?) Hawkeye is more humiliating for you. You mean the comic book character right? The one no one likes? I'm embarrassed to ask if he got a movie or show, cause you'd have to admit you know that. Yikes.
>>223358669What do you mean?
>>223358644it wasn't Cregger it was the other director and the studio constantin films the second writer literally said the studio asked them to add all the nods
>>223352712The first act was 10/10, middle 7/10, final act was between 7/10 and 4/10Simple as. The tone shift did not work as well is Zach thought it did. That said. It was largely great, entertaining horror. It was definitely an accomplishment compared to most IP slop. Hope he continues to refine his craft, Weapons is still his best work as far as the full package goes.
>>223358752lol
>>223355805This is where I'm at. Mostly enjoyed it. Completely fell on its face by the end.
>>223352712>*Zombie appears*>YIKES>Did I do that?>Uhh, so that just happened>So are you like... ok?
>>223358797For me it's instead of building suspense with lingering hallway shots and still camera it's tight up shots of soifaces going AHHHHH and shaky camera and quick cuts back and forth from soiface screaming to stupid AI monster
>>223358773It wouldn't have taken much to fix it.>Scientists are actually solemn G-Man style figures>Hand scene still happens>When you think hell is gonna break lose, they actually trap him and give him the cure>However, as he's healing, they let him know the cure is going to kill him>Some link back to his preggers gf>Just then the giant ball of humans (who disappeared too easily) busts in, killing all the scientists>It takes his corpse and ingests it>Some unexpected mutation happens leaving the film open ended>He opens his eyes
What did they even spend the budget on? Lots of big stars in this movie?
>>223358809Yeah it wasn't good. I guess he was going for Resident Evil final boss action sequence stuff
>>223358834yeah instead of making the themes and message and world of resident evil vidya into a movie he made a gay ass unrelated movie that looks like a video game. very gay.
>>223358821Brother that's even worse.
>>223358868All I can say is that >a group of soi faced scientists bumble around getting killed by him>a wet fart sound as the cure falls to the groundWas about as bad as it got for me and the first thing on the top of my head would be preferential
>>223358590I felt the same way about it. These references were just annoying because it's like they wanted to have their cake and eat it too by making a movie that feels completely unrelated to Resident Evil and throwing in some shallow easter eggs so that fanboys and shills can go online and say it's a real RE movie. You have people saying it's a real RE movie, then when you explain all that it's missing, they tell you it's impossible to adapt all that hokey stuff because it's not realistic and mature enough for a zombie movie and you should have never expected it. Lol.The gayest possible outcome.
>>223359033you're describing the Paul Anderson movies too. those movies barely have anything to do after the second movie and even the first barely adapts the game maybe if the new movie had a tiny skinny super model doing kung fu kicks and marvel style slow mo backflips then gamers would accept it more.
>>223359092this movie did something that the Milla movies never did, it felt creepy and unsettling. a few times it legitimately make you feel uncomfortable
>>223359092Because they defending the product and they would say anything and the opposite to do thatIt the product was made in any other way they would defend that with the same exact energy saying the same things
>>223359124the old resident evil movies are just Boss girl Marvel slop.
xisters when are we getting Welcome to Raccoon City 2
>>223356033Yeah the ending almost ruined the film for me. Brought it down from 8 or 9 out of 10 to like a 6. The annoying scientist characters that had way too much screen time, the garbage CGI clusterfuck, the fact that they were still milking the "will he get the cure or not" by the time he was a 9 foot tall hentai tentacle monster. It was actually shocking how bad it was, after how well directed all the previous monster scenes were. It was like they outsourced the last 15 minutes to an MCU capeshit director.>>223359033>why is this cool, original movie not bogged down by even more retarded video game referencesThe RE games are fun but their stories are dumb. They also change so wildly from game to game that it's impossible for an adaptation to be faithful to the series as a whole. Was RE4 faithful to the previous games when it got rid of Umbrella and made Leon an anime character? Did RE7 have anything to do with 6? The truth is most of the people who made these games didn't give a fuck about your references, lore, characters, whatever. They just made whatever they thought would be cool and zero qualms about being consistent with past entries.
>>223359643I didnt hate wtrc as much as the average person but I hate how its failure means there will not be another attempt at adapting 1 or 2 for years
Why is this goblin being cast by TPTB?
>>223359891Only problem I have with the ending is casting him as a scientist. Though the movie earlier sets up the possibility of the umbrella scientists being fucking retarded so it kinda pays off at the end but still he looks way too goofy.
>>223359124>this movie did something that the Milla movies never did, it felt creepy and unsettling.The first movie did that by playing really high frequencies designed to make dogs upset. It's why any scene where you can see the laser corridor in the background feels unnerving.
>>223359124>this movie did something that the Milla movies never did, it felt creepy and unsettling.>a few times it legitimately make you feel uncomfortableThe thing is, that's not the RE games. RE has always been a somewhat atypical horror series. Capcom describe it as having two hearts. Horror and action. The original RE game doesn't have some kind of dimly lit spooky mansion. Resident Evil has always had an element of how seemingly benign looking environments are sinister.This new film doesn't understand this at all and seems to think "low visibility = scary". It misunderstands the role that doors play in the RE games. It thinks doors are scary because you can't see what is on the other side. Doors are scary because you open them and it's a brightly lit room. But something is wrong.Barbarian makes this same mistake. It thinks that darkness = scary. A lot of modern wannabe horror is like this.
>>223359243>Boss girl Marvel slop.Like the games.
What's odd about the new RE film is that is tries incredibly hard to be funny, yet none of its jokes work. And it tries incredibly hard to be scary, but literally nothing in the film is scary.
>ignores that the big final showdown happens in a maternity ward, where he has to kill a infected mutated babies>this is totally pro-life movie
>>223360240in the games you're always alone. the Milla movies she's fucking never alone, not one movie is she alone.that's what I liked about this movie.>>223360280Jill never had super powers
>>223352712>"i hated that XYZ happened/didnt happen in the movie"complaints like this are a sign of midwit level opinions, tv and RLM are ripe with this btw.
>ignores that he runs away from the maternity ward>ignores that he is punished at the end because he ran away from his responsibilities>ignores how his only sincere and reflective moment is him leaving a message to her gf saying he wants to be a fathermind broken chuds should at least watch the fucking film they have decided is woke before embarrassing themselves
