Resident Evil:Extinction Movie Discussion

[Gamma Akutabi]

A place to discuss the new RE movie that comes out in September.

Is anyone else out there more than peeved with these movies? No Leon, Claire, Jill, etc...only Alice. Bleh. I was so excited with the announcement of the first movie's completion, thinking we'd actually get Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine...but we get (the nonetheless lovely) Milla Jovovich in some loathesome role? There are other problems with the movies, undoubtedly, but this unacceptable offal is a bad joke gone horribly wrong.

Jill appears.

 

[Zeta]

So that Alice the Mary Sue can show her up.

 

[ShadyWolf]

Hm...Now that you mention it, yeah, I guess she did (in RE 2, I think, only saw it once). But as what? A side character? Support? It's a rather egregious action to shun the main characters in the first movie and then relegate one main character to a secondary or even tertiary role.

 

[Gamma Akutabi]

Yeah, she appeared in Apocalypse. Nemesis played a major role.

 

[ShadyWolf]

Nemesis was what, Alice's non-canon boy buddy from the first RE movie (if he's canon, I don't recall, admittedly)? I try to forget Nemesis from the movies, since he was an abomination to the source material. The sequel would have been better served with the title RE 2: Beauty and the Beast.

There were zombie dogs and Lickers.
