6:22 One thing about Afterlife Wesker I hated was him seemingly being infected by Las Plagas and having to periodically eat people to keep himself stable. When in the games he's infected with an altered version of Progenitor and needs regular injections to keep the virus stable.

That mid credit scene in the new one was hilarious, giving Wesker the glasses and asking Ada to say her name was so funny, the whole theater was chanting say the name and burst out when she did. Honestly the new one was a comedy, I laughed more then anything.

[@thespinelizard4444]

Very Hollywood Resident Evil film is a comedy

[@HLHReviews]

That is what the original Resident Evil was, a campy horror game with its moments of being funny with its bad dialogue and acting. I think it was clear that’s what they wanted to do with WtRC.

Cody you are the only youtuber ive watched that hasnt shit all over new flick, everyone i watched absolutely hated this. Thats why im subscribed. Love hearing different opinions my major complaint of this was and is where in the f was barry burton!!! Wesker had nothing NOTHING to due with that Jill sandwich!!!

[@cookeris]

[@shadowdramon01]

@@cookeris - I meant Retribution. 😅.

[@shadowdramon01]

@Lorenzo Smit - A lot of people put it over all the Paul WS Anderson films because of how “accurate” it was to the games (even though Leon is nothing like how he is in the games, not just because of the raceswap, but because he’s a bumbling idiot and weakling). Personally, as inaccurate to the games as Anderson’s movies were, and as insulting as a lot of those inaccuracies were (for f**k’s sake, Wesker, who you had to blow up in a volcano to kill in the games, dies getting smashed by a door), most of them were at least “turn-your-brain-off” entertaining while Raccoon City was boring as f**k.

[@laos85]

Welcome to Racoon City is more focused on making whinny RE game fans happy than make good movie like some of the original one

[@Tyler-gq6pf]

Best to worst- 1. Resident Evil 2. Resident Evil 2- Apocalypse 3. Resident Evil- Extinction (I like how this one adds daylight) 4. Resident Evil Retribution (The soundtrack is good on this one) 5. Resident Evil- The Final Chapter (this one is higher than After Life is because Dr. J. Isaacs returns.) 6. Resident Evil- After Life (Clones of Alice everywhere and it looks confusing) Both 5 & 6 and 1 & 2 can flip flop. 7:10, What is this, The Matrix? I have seen all RE movies besides "Welcome to Raccoon City". But I heard "The Train" song from the soundtrack of "Welcome to Raccoon City" which sounds epic and I may just watch that movie just because of that song. I have played Resident Evil 2, 3, 4 remakes, RE4 (2005), Resident Evil 7 (all DLCs too), and Resident Evil 8- Village (I also played the Shadows of Rose DLC). Also, I believe that Resident Evil 7 would be great in movie form.

[@ranzudezuLRTC]

I love the live action RE films soooooo much and thanks to them I became a die-hard RE video game fan so for that I am grateful for them. Yeah, they can be stupid or silly but I still enjoy them as a whole. Love the actors/actresses, OST, and aesthetics. TFC actually made me tear up a little at the end (and not because of the crazy editing) because I'll truly miss this film series with Milla and people will laugh at me but idgaf 🤣 TFC could have been better but it is what it is. 🥲 I really wish Sienna and Ali would get to reprise their roles for a RE tv series someday (different from the Netflix one) 🤞🙏 I'm so looking forward to WTRC despite all the hate it got so yeah...🤭 🤷‍♂️

[@laos85]

I rather prefer a complete original story in Resident Evil universe with a whole new characters. Movie in RE games are there just watch that. No need to whine that is not 100% like the game because that's not how you make good movies

Apocalypse is my favorite And tho I enjoyed welcome to raccoon city I really really hated Jill (my favorite character) but again I enjoyed it and I’d say it’s my second favorite And I have a soft spot for the original Anderson movie as it’s a great original take on the core idea of the first game but it also has a nice dose of Alice in wonderland (my favorite book) Unrelated but in the game zombie panic in wonderland Alice looks a lot like Jill and that makes me super happy

[@dc5001]

If they could have gotten the same budget that the Anderson films got with welcome to racoon city, it would have been amazing, there was actually some good zombie shootout scenes. Welcome to racoon cities budget was only 5 million, vs the Anderson films that were 50 million plus. Every reviewer says the same thing that I agree with it as well, that they shouldn't of cramed the mansion with the city in one movie. Hopefully they could rectify this with a directors cut, plus a full racoon city version like the re3 nemesis game, but with a good budget, and longer run time.

[@krisnelson2653]

I appreciate your optimism and your perspective. But for me, who grew up with the original RE games, the entire movie franchise is utter garbage that I could never enjoy. RE is survival horror yet they went with just action Hollywood garbage.

[@freebird2882]

yeh man, I watched the Racoon City one earlier and enjoyed it the most I think. It had a decent atmosphere to it and didn't have the horrible shaky cam but they put to much in a short amount of time that it glossed over too much. William Birkin turning into Tyrant, the licker and police chief getting killed off, Weskers betrayal story being the biggest undershorts, I think. But, just for the atmosphere and the homages to the games I was into it the most.

Welcome to Racoon City is the best hands down no contest.

It depends on you. I think the remake of the original game holds up very well and is available on modern consoles so I would start there BUT it has old school tank controls of PS1 and PS2 era survival horror games. Some people cannot stand those controls. If you look at gameplay clips and it looks miserable to you, I would start with the resident evil 2 and 3 remakes that came out a few years ago.

[@michaelshane5882]

@@CodyLeachYT I actually already watched some clips before I even read your response lol Having not played it I was trying not to judge it too harshly but I could see me not enjoying that gameplay style. However I can adapt especially once I acquire a taste for something.. I’d probably start with 2, 3 or even 4 it sounds like. Are the side games like code Veronica in the main Canaan? And if so should I just stick to the main continuity first and then go play those or play them in the order they exist in the timeline

Just watched Welcome To Raccoon City and I quite liked it.

Ive never seen the franchise, but i did see welcome to raccoon city and that was probably the worst movie ive ever seen. I couldnt even imagine what the franchise movies are like seeing how this guy ranked them worse than welcome to raccoon city. What they did to leon in raccoon city was nothing but insulting.

[@TwoTailedCaperer]

The thing with the Milla Jovovich RE movies is that aside from Apocalypse, none of them attempt to be a direct adaptation of the video games. Yes certain characters, monsters and elements are borrowed, but aside from that they do their own thing. WtRC was advertised as a faithful adaptation of RE 1+2, which not only failed to do so by ruining the stories, but they changed character origins, motivations, and completely flubbed the casting. Even if I were to look past race-swapping two of the most iconic characters in the entire franchise, there's still Wesker looking like a typical dude-bro, and Claire looks at least 5 years older than everyone else. Additionally, the Milla RE movies can be viewed without any prior knowledge of RE lore besides maybe knowing who some of the prominent characters are. WtRC expects people to know the story already, but then also completely changes it past the point of recognition. The Final Chapter is definitely not a good film by any stretch of the imagination, but I would watch it over the disgrace that is WtRC any day. What they did to Leon's character in that movie is unforgivable.

[@bobbyseafood2145]

@@TwoTailedCaperer i totally agree on everything you said about wtrc and especially Leon. I honestly dont think he should ever be allowed to work on an RE title again after what he did to leon. Making him as a comedy relief wasnt just a mistake, it was a legit insult to all the hardcore fans of the games like yourself and I. I watched 2 seconds of re retribution, saw the alice girl shooting another girl while getting lifted to a helicopter and i instantly turned it off. The acting was so bad in that 3 seconds i already knew the movie/series would be a shit show and didnt bother to waste my time

[@alexinator-hh5fe]

I have a shaky relationship with the movies at best

[@thectk1000]

You seem like a cool dude and I dont begrudge anyone for having a different opinion on movies than me. But having just watched WTRC I cant fathom how even hardcore fans could like it much. By combining the first two games they didnt just shoot themselves in the foot they blew the damn thing off. Jeremy Jahns said it best. The remakes ARE the modern, cinematic, ramped up to 11 RE experience fans always wanted. A new movie version is redundant. It was cool seeing the settings but whats the point when these places are no longer integral to the story as places to escape? It was cool they wanted to include every main RE character but whats the point when you dont have time to let them all shine? Leon and Jill have absolutely nothing to do. It was cool they wanted to follow the story but, again, two game stories in less than two hours. To call what we get a cliff note skeleton is generous. Not to mention the scale of the story being chopped down to a sliver of what something like Apocalyspe accomplished all those years ago on a similar budget. This new movie is just a hair above looking like a web series. So with all this in mind I have to say I much prefer Anderson's series. More action than horror but at least most of the action is done well with style and flare and when game characters show up at least they have charisma and feel like the larger than life fighters they are in the games.
