Resident Evil (2026)

Felt like critics wanted to give him a lot more of his just due on Barbarian-- and delivered the rest of his praise when Weapons was a hit. I think if he came out with Weapons first, the acclaim would have been more tempered.

The scope of the plot is very focused which I assume is why it works in a larger more complicated game series story.

here's az's take.


"not Resident evil"
"decent stand alone horror movie"
"overall just ehhhh.."
"should do very well at box office"
"normies will probably like it." "normies being those not invested in the IP. ' and with limited overall movie, experiance, etc.


seems to say it starts well, then gets weaker oveer time.

So general horror audiences will like it. And its good but grifter needs rage clicks, I am understanding the assignment.

Damn what a ding against the movie. Honestly I think Resident Evil lore is retarded, but I like the creatures, so i guess this will be a great watch for me this afternoon.

The only thing that I didn't like in this movie

so you didn't listen to the vid at all, and just called him a grifter. are you retarded?

Grifting at what? when you stay stupid shit like that, what do you think they are scamming over? you think big Nintendo is paying him to shit on Resident evil movies for some reason? if he likes something, you don't think he has any financial reason to just say so?

"Grifting" has got to be the most brain dead retarded accusation for anything.

lets take Disparu. Now, his videos are intentionally comedy. he only makes videos on things he can make fun of. he's not really a reviewer in that sense. But its also not grifting. as, again, he only makes videos for things he can mock. if its good, he just doesn't make a vid on it.

I don't have a lot of experience with the Resident Evil franchise (played 1 and 2, saw all the previous movies, straight to DVD stuff and animated ones) but I thought there was quite a lot of Resident Evil coded stuff in this. The first half not so much but once we're at Raccoon City we've got zombies, mutants, run and gun action, super science, etc. It closes on


The tone is off for Resident Evil with all the humor but given where that movie franchise ended up you should probably be happy with what you got with this one.

Dude, grifters are easy to figure out

He has 18.... EIGHTEEN videos about Super Girl in 4 months. All with crappy AI thumbnails.

Why do I need to listen to a retard like that? No I don't think Super Girl will be very good as I haven't even seen it. But holy shit there is neary a movie in existence that is interesting enough to make that many videos about it. SO what's he talking about? Culture war? Pass. Not interested in his takes at that point.

az does talk the comedy. its his main issue.
he says its "what if we took The Thing, and the blob, and turned it into a comedy" "for the most part, when the film is trying to be horror, the performances are very good", "the film devolves into a comedy"
"every bit of tension, horror is lost"

he even mentions test audiences responded poorly to the comedy, and this version is actually even cut down.

Resident evil is actually hard to make an adaptation with honestly. The GAMES tone are all over the place.
look at the most recent game which itself tried to blend the two major massively conflicting tones. with Leon chainsaw fighting on the back of a motorcycle with rocket launchers... and Grace actually playing a survival horror.

I sure has hell wouldn't want to try and capture Resident evil in movie form. its all over the place. Silent hill is way more coherent on that front. odd that one was also adapted so poorly recently.
