I genuinely love seeing so many people discover Final Fantasy XIV for the first time. You guys are wonderful and remember this.
A warrior of light never walks alone.
He does not deserve it because he was scared of a big decision. In fact he didn't deserve his gf trying to have such a big discussion over the phone in the first place. Harping on him for not being prepared for the convo while she's the one actively pressing at the wrong time is-
Except it was? Bryan is literally reacting to the beginning stages of the breakout as he runs from location to location. He goes to the very same hospital that features RE3's ending. It's a giant nod to what happened that night from the perspecitve of +
& we've gotten movies that tried to do this (idk if you can even call them trying lol). where these fucks got all the fanservice they could ever want & guess what? they STILL hated it. you cannot satisfy this lot lol.
Unpopular opinion: this is the best Resident Evil movie precisely because it refuses to be a Resident Evil movie in the way most fans wanted.
Cregger didn’t remake RE2, didn’t recast Leon, and didn’t spend 20 minutes explaining the T-virus. He just dropped an out-of-shape medical courier into a night that keeps getting worse and filmed it like you’re the one holding the controller with two bullets left. That “one gigantic sequence” structure, the ammo counting, the dark doorways, the stalker creature that’s the actual DNA of the games, not another origin story for Umbrella.
A lot of the backlash is people wanting the feeling of playing RE2 while also getting the plot of RE2. Those two things have never coexisted well on screen. The Anderson films proved that. Welcome to Raccoon City proved that. Cregger understood the assignment was the panic, not the lore dump.
Is it his weakest film compared to Barbarian and Weapons? Yeah, probably. The ending is abrupt and Bryan is almost too much of a disaster. But calling it “Resident Evil in name only” misses the point. It’s the first live-action version that actually feels like playing one of these games instead of watching someone else play it. That’s rarer than another Wesker monologue.
can we please stop judging people's living situation regardless of age?? like why are we as young people shaming others for still living with parents, or being unable to afford a place to rent/buy, or simply people who don't want to move out
“La película es horrible, será un fracaso en taquilla”
En un día, supera los 100 millones de dólares, durísimo golpe para el fandom tóxico que intentó boicotearla.
#ResidentEvil Es una gran película y me alegro muchísimo por quienes la disfrutaron sin drama ni fanatismo.
Only thing that really bothered me in the new Resident Evil was that the dog in the barn was a Belgian Malinois. That dog could've climbed the ladder so fast Bryan would've been TOAST.
The funny fact is that if Zach Cregger removed the words "Resident Evil", "Raccoon City" and "Umbrella Corporation" from his movie but kept everything else the same... I could see a lot of naysayers calling it the closest thing to a good Resident Evil Movie 🤣
Not adapting a specific game and dropping the legacy characters might actually be the best thing that happened to this franchise.
Every previous Resident Evil movie tried to cram in characters, mythology and fan-service, and most of them ended up being a mess. Cregger was way more interested in making you feel what it’s actually like to play Resident Evil, being confused, underprepared, scared and constantly wondering what the hell is around the next corner.
and that’s why I think cregger's story works so well. he's not trying to explain every piece of Umbrella lore or spend half the movie explaining the T-virus. It’s literally just one guy trying to survive and get somewhere while monsters keep making his life hell. Maybe Resident Evil never needed to be a perfect adaptation of the games. Maybe it just needed to make you feel like you’re playing one.
Covid. Covid happened. Covid opened the doors to the general public & they took over so many spaces. & changed the unspoken but respected rules about not engaging in things you don't like into "berating, cancelling & witchunting" anything they don't like.
Because, just like Grace, it's a charatcter that is based upon realistic responses. This fandom is allergic to seeing it because they know they'd make the same slip-ups; they aren't Leon Kennedy. They aren't Ethan Winters. They are Bryan. They are Grace.
i loved it so muh bc it felt so damn real. like yeah. i too would be frozen in sheer wtf as i watched two corpses fuse w/ tentacles like how tf do you process that lmao
