Straight up. Leon's and Ada's relationship is one of my favorite aspects of the RE series. It's obvious that they care for each other, but both are married to their respective jobs, so it's probably never going to work no matter how much either of them want it to. The fact that both of them are subtle about their true feelings for each other makes the whole thing wonderfully complex. And then the movies had to go do whatever the hell that was supposed to be.

What really makes these movies so awful for me is the inclusion of Alice. Why did they feel the need to throw in a superpowered character like hers in the story? With the obvious exception of Jake from RE6, all of the heroes (to my knowledge) were just regular officers and soldiers fighting against the mutated undead. With a character like Alice in the fray, any sense of tension is lost and no stakes can be raised since Alice can easily take care of the vast majority of threats that anyone else would struggle against. Also, Chris punching that giant boulder in RE5 never got adapted in the films, so I'm hella pissed.

To be fair, Leon and his antics in 4 did a similar job of being so ridiculous and over the top that it kind of kills the tension in cutscenes. Luckily it has tension in atmosphere and enough Capcom charm to sell how badass Leon is.

But when the sequel came out it was all about "Hey, can my wife top all the characters in the series? Fuck yeah she can 'cause I'm gonna make her way more competent than those losers!" It became a pissing match. Some sort of fetish video for the director to watch. They probably went home after the film launched and fucked to the movie.

Every instance of another character from the games showing up, villain or hero, they're incompetent. They're turned into one-note characters that you have no reason to give a fuck about.

The problem for me isn’t that Anderson chose his wife as the main actress. Sure, she doesn’t have the best acting chops but really, video game movies aren’t exactly known for the acting, especially with the poor voice acting of the original game. The problem is that he basicslly created a flawless character, thus removing any of the suspension by eliminating the risk of a character dying from the mind of the viewer. The main solution would have been to have Jovovich play someone like Jill Valentine, with Eric Mabius playing Chris Redfield and the story being a combination of both scenarios from the first game were both characters make it together to the mansion were they get separated at times.

[@felman87]

The first MK movies works as this cheesy, martial arts movie. It keeps things simple, following around a handful of main characters with others from the series merely being fighters for our heroes to overcome. I don't know why Street Fighter didn't do the same. Especially since they had little time to write the script and Capcom insisting that every character be in the movie. A Martial Arts tournament would've worked just fine for that movie, plus have Raul Julia being the best Bison around, implying there's more at stake than a simple contest of kicks.

Alice has to be one of the most boring and uninteresting protagonists I think I've ever seen. Even ignoring her Mary-Sue attributes Alice personality wise is a blank slate with no clear motivation or clear goal. Throughout the films we never get to learn anything substantial about Alice on any personal level. More then likely because Paul had no idea what to give her. We never learn about say her likes and disinterests. If she's shy or quite a direct kind of person. How she is around others? What are her hopes, dreams or fears? We get nothing of any substance of any sort for us to latch onto to actually give a rats ass about. We're told to care about her simply because the films tell us to. Any possible character development that could have been done with Alice is instead replaced with mindless bombastic action scenes with her jumping, shooting, punching and kicking shit in slow motion. Who the fuck cares? What reason is there for me to care about a girl that's as powerful as a god that can never fail that's about as interesting as wet fence paint? Action means nothing if there's not a reason to care for those involved.

[@huntcd2012]

Alice was at her best in the first movie when she was a blank slate that was slowly starting to come to her senses and was on the same level of everyone else when it came to combat prowess. But then Paul was given the keys to the kingdom and went completely all out and it went down hill pretty fast.

[@death-king1834]

I think this is something Phelous touched upon in his reviews of the films in that Alice was at her best in the first movie where there was that sense that she could be killed or at best be in server danger.

And not even the fun kind.

you must have missed the last film and i would not blame you but we learn the alice we have been following was just genetically created as well. She was never real it could explain why she is so void of personality because she never had life experiences. At least you can use that as head cannon anyways. The real real alice was apparently a board member of umbrella that wanted shit to change so while she was in hypersleep with the rest of high members of the company underground the fake alice that we follow was intended from the beginning to do what real alice could not.

Alice made much of the cast just redundant. Especially in the later films. Just look at the games. As the series goes on, more powerful enemies show up and go from slow strides to running. Biting gets replaced with clawing, run jump mauling, gun use, even more dangerous mutations, and lastly, durability increase. These are supposed to generate fear and make the players think of how to avoid and fight the creatures without burning through their resources. Alice, contradicts this. And this hurts the films soooo much. She's like a crutch you rely on too much, like a cheat code that gives you unlimited ammo.

I saw "final chapter" by accident (long story) and the whole way through this "movie" I had one thought "does Anderson forget what happens in his movies after they are released?" that's the only explanation that makes sense. he fucking *wrote* them himself, one must *try* to eradicate any sense of internal logic and mythos. and the direction and writing overall are next level awful in the last movie. great video, as always! this movie franchise continues to be one of the biggest misteries to me. first couple of Anderson's movies are solid, even the 1st RE is servisable, and 1st AvP, imo, is shot competently at least. but wtf happened to the guy next?..

maybe because they had a actual budget? and wasnt low budget mess like so many other horror movies are?

[@oblivious108]

Thank you for this video. You have no idea how many TIMES I had to argue with some friends of mine why the Resident Evil movies are absolute garbage.

Shame Milla didn't walk out when she threatened too because she was jealous and threatened of getting outshined by Michelle Rodriguez. Probably would've got a half decent series.

Thank you for acknowledging Chris’s strength by showing the sacred scene of him punching a whole ass BOULDER

These movies made a combined 1.25 Billion dollars at box office so I don't think the director is going to be short of work. The films gradually focused more and more towards the Chinese market which cares less about story and more about ridiculous action with monsters and aliens and jet packs and lazer beams. That's where the final film made 90% of it's profits.

[@themaccave08]

The fact that they made Jill the secondary character of her own story and that they butchered so much from, yes a somewhat falling franchise in games, just proves they had no real way of making the movies good. Or just make a story different from the main series instead of self inserting a character(s) who didn’t exist in the series main points. They aren’t tie-ins but they shouldn’t be dog sh*t written stories that would even copy things that had better context and meaning from the source!

[@davewesker]

What also doesnt help is the compete lack of consistency throughout the films. Red queen oh thats the programmers daughter, no wait its alice as a kid no wait alice is actually a clone of the head of umbrella.

[@CelaniSello]

when the Director makes his wife to be in every single movie and try to have her be a badass

[@Kalina47]

“...she isn’t shown to be incompetent as every feat of hers has been taken by Quan Chi...” Ha!

The only good Resident Evil movies are Degeneration, Damnation and Vendetta. Because they have the characters and follow the games' story.

[@digitalkid5623]

Vendetta was kinda dumb. If you want an example, just remember the scene where Leon was on the highway fighting off the ceberus and a few innocent drivers getting killed in the process.

[@CatsWithMachineGuns]

"Good" movies. lol

[@theferaldonkey]

Those movies are so fucking overdone as well lol

[@jameswatsonatheistgamer]

CGI. True to the games.

[@aliciafraser1835]

@@theferaldonkey But they're over done in a similar way the games are over done. They don't just make up characters and scenarios. They don't just shit lore out of their asses. And they don't pretend to be something they aren't, like the live action movies do.

The Resident evil movies are a travesty. I choose to not acknowledge them as Resident evil movies.

@@IvanTheDarkAngel Capcom do not acknowledge the movies as part of their canon stories for RE. Only the CGI Capcom made are canon to it.

Vel86 Name one live action adaptation that is in the same canon as the game/source material it’s adapting. It’s obviously gonna be set in a different universe. Do you know what canon means dumbass?
