Resident Evil Welcome to Raccoon City (2021) | Raccoon City in the 1990s Was a Very Different Place💀

I agree with you entirely. Resident Evil Welcome to Racoon City was a disappointment. It had one or two fairly entertaining action sequences but these were few and far between. The plot makes no sense and was totally illogical. I have no issues with film producers, or book authors for that matter, creating their own version of Racoon City and the characters, I actually think it can reinvigorate the franchise if done well. But it's done badly in this movie. Character development was poor and I was not fond of any of the characters really. I mean, I did not hate the characters, but at the same time I did not feel much for them so I just did not care when one of them was killed off. I could not get emotionally invested in this film or the characters. You make some excellent points about the lack of context. Little is explained about why this version of Racoon City is the way it is and why some groups of people were vaccinated against the virus, whereas others were not. Why some essential workers but not others? The behaviour of the characters was bizarre. Leon not noticing the van crash and the flaming zombie was weird. It was almost like it became horror comedy for a moment there! More information about the virus and Umbrella would have been appreciated but we never got that. All in all the execution was poor and I feel they could have done a much better job. At least they tried I suppose!

I agree, especially with your last point. It was like hey, don’t ever underestimate how deep the Umbrella’s Corporation’s roots go. 🙄
