a step up from part 2, nothing spectacular tho

I ejoyed it, thought it was probably the best of the series. For the record I really disliked the first one (barely any zombies, too much of a detour from the tone of the games, too many Paul WS Anderson fingerprints all over it), and liked the second one as a truer game adaptation although it still suffered as a movie. This was the first that felt like a real movie, and I think they captured the tone of the games even if the story is a complete departure. I think the zombie animals and t-virus mutations are what sets the series apart from standard zombie fare, and they delivered in spades here. I actually think this was better than Land of the Dead, which covered a similar 'zombie end of the world' theme.

I'm not even gonna touch that one with a ten foot pole.

Why not? Land of the Dead isn't considered to be a huge classic. I'd somewhat agree, in that I actually found RE3 to be more entertaining than Land of the Dead. I like the ideas presented in LOTD, but the movie just didn't do it for me. I say that as a huge Romero fan. His 1978 Dawn of the Dead is my favorite horror film of all time.

I find myself drawn to the comedic aspects of that film.

As far as RE:E, I don't care if they airbrushed her face or not, Milla is not hard to look at. And this was probably my favorite of the three.

Right, it's classified as horror because of the death and blood, but it's got a lot going on in it, that's for sure! I love that movie.

Love Milla, and she still lookin good even though starting to show a bit of age... which showed how silly the airbrushing was cause her face would be flawless and look down see some lines/wrinkles on her neck.
And along those lines it is distracting in these 'end of world' movies where the women have clear skin.. clean, cut and colored hair, and have shaved legs/pits.... not that I don't like eye candy, but they were supposed to be 5 years after civilization collapsed, no running water, sleeping in the vehicles, etc.... women don't look that good after 1 day without modern amenities.

They airbrushed her? Ooooh, that's what that was. I kept thinking how weird her skin looked. I LOOOVE me some Milla so I can never get enough of her and even if she's aged a bit, she's still very beautiful to me.

Anyway, I really liked this movie. It was what it was and nothing more and that's not a bad thing. I had fun with it, I loved the "help" she got at a certain point, and I felt satisfied when I walked out at the end.

It's a side effect of the T-Virus.

I'm considering watching this because Ali Larter is very hot. How much screen time does she have?

Also, what is the blood and gore level for the Resident Evil movies? Is it a Friday the 13th level of gore? I ask because I don't like horror movies much, I am only considering watching this because I like the actresses.

I wouldn't say its as bloody and gory as the Friday the 13th movies... (although I haven't seen part 3 yet). Its more "sci-fi" violence then anything else...

I remember reading somewhere a while back that they signed on to do 3 and 4. But my question is (ending spoiler)

Well I finally saw it this weekend, not a bad movie, nut not a good one either. It was on par with the second film, and it felt like it had nothing to do with the video games plot anymore.

But then it ceases to be a horror movie....cause that just wouldn't be scary, that would be AWESOME!!!

I could not stop thinking about Day of the Dead while watching this today.

I totally enjoyed this movie. It's funny how the director loves to use sparks and "blades" in almost all his movies

Yeah, the product placement in this film made Casino Royale look downright demure. I think Sony should incorporate this into their marketing:

"Sony: Products built to survive the zombie apocalypse!"

What products were they? I don't recall off the top of my head.

Pretty much every single electronic device in the movie has a Sony logo on it.

Just like my house. Oh well....

I was thinking the same thing when Alice was at the gas station and there were at least 2 huge Pepsi logos. They really stand out in a film like this.

I watched all 3 movies today for the first time (the first 2 on DVD, and 3 at the theater), and I felt I watched the same movie 3 times in a row. fight some zombies, some zombie dogs, have just about all the main characters die, have Milla have to fight and increasingly horrible creature at the end, and then end with a To Be Continued instead of giving things a satisfying conclusion of any sorts.

This kind of advancement might work for video games, but it's just boring for film.

i just saw this on dvd. Fucking awesome ! the action scenes were some of the best ive seen in this genre . Those crows were evil ! i only didn't like the end mutated dr dude, that was a bit cheesy and reminded my of the Story of Ricky.

Where is it on DVD?
