Film fans and horror film fans alike there has been this very recent trend of making actually good video game movies with both Sonic The Hedgehog and Pokemon: Detective Pikachu being actually good films. So when it was firs announced that we would be getting a new American produced live action Resident Evil film of course I was excited to see it I mean with two actually good live action video games movies being released back to back how could I not excited for this film and well the film is now finally with us and so join me as I give you my SPOILER FREE review of the film that we really didn't need or even actually want for that matter with the film in question being called simply just "Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City" enjoy.
The plot of this film is a group of survivors have to survive the zombie apocalypse in the small town of Racoon City all the while trying to uncover the secrets that have been left behind by the evil Umbrella Corporation. Now then in terms of what I personally personally thought / felt about the actual plot of this actual film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot of this actual film was at best OK which is a shame because this film had a lot of promise to tell an actually good story but instead all it does is tell the same old story that we've being told in thousands of actually good zombie films and zombie TV shows in my opinions anyways / at least.
Starring in this film is Kaya Scodelario as Claire Redfield , Hannah John-Kamen as Jill Valentine and Robbie Amell as Chris Redfield. Also starring in this film is Tom Hopper as Albert Wesker , Avan Jogia as Leon S. Kennedy , Donal Logue as Chief Brian Irons , Neal McDonough as William Birkin , Chad Rook as Richard Aiken , Marina Mazepa as Lisa Trevor , Janet Porter as Annette Birkin and Holly De Barros as Sherry Birkin.
Now then in terms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was at best OK. Which for this film OK at best is freaking fantastic because so much of this film sucks from the writing to the directing and so all the actors and actresses that are appearing in / starring in this film can do is just do the best that they can do which in this case simply just isn't good enough in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Now then if you thought that this film would treat it's iconic game characters with some actual respect then you'd be so freaking wrong. This is simply because this film gets all of of it's main iconic game characters wrong since they make Leon dumb as a freaking rock Clair is now this bada*s who can do no wrong and I won't spoil what they do to Wesker but let's just say that this film makes the Paul W.S. Anderson American produced live action Resident Evil films look actually good by freaking comparison in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
So now then this film is meant to be a reboot of the Paul W.S. Anderson films and are thus set in an entirely different continuity. However this film makes those films look actually good by comparison since at least those films were actually entertaining to watch where as this film feels like when your sat there watching somebody playing a first person shooter game because yes this film is that freaking boring to me in my personal opinions anyways / at least.
So now then this film is meant to be closer in tone and atmosphere to the games then the previous live action Resident Evil films were. Which is very much a commendable thing to even try to even attempt however in doing by / by doing that tho the makers of this film forget to make this film actually fun to watch which is is something that is very important when your making a film or a even a TV show for that matter in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Now then I in all honesty have to wonder who the heck this film is even for since it's not going to make the die hard fans happy and this film is bad that it's not going to attract new fans either. Simply because of how bad this film is which is a shame because of the very freaking fact that video game movies by design are meant to encourage people to buy the source material and this film just simply isn't going to do that simply due to like how bad this film well and truly freaking is in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
So now then this film has / had a grand total running time of exactly one hour and thirty seven minuets and twenty four seconds. Which is in all honesty a bit of a long running time for this film since this film has such a generic storyline with nothing new being added to the films main storyline whatsoever and as such I see no reason as to why this film couldn't have been forty five minuets which yes means the film wouldn't be feature length but that's all the running time that a storyline like this would really freaking allow in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Now then this film is meant to be a horror film after all and so that means that I have to actually talk about the actual horror that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film and well in all I honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual horror that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was just OK at best. Since there was nothing that was all that scary in this film which for a horror film you kind of need there to be some actual freaking scares in freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Overall this film is one that any and all die hard and none die hard fans of the Resident Evil multi-media franchise should avoid at all costs because yeah this film is that freaking bad in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that / this means that this very freaking film earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 5 out of 10 from me.
Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Resident Evil fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images that are actually from this film and that that I personally / actually used in this very review being the official Resident Evil fandom wiki page this is simply because the official Resident Evil fandom wiki page actually has alot of images from this film and plus alot of / nearly all of the images that are from this film and that are currently up on the official Resident Evil fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly high definition and as always we end this review as we always do which is with one and true goddess Elvira wishing us all some very unpleasant dreams indeed.
