    Resident Evil (2002). Now I remember it from back then... I hated that it ended on a cliffhanger. But now that I have all six movies in a set- I'm liking it a lot better. In the next five days I'll definitely be having fun with this. Mindless nonsense ensues. Bring it! ;)

    The first film is my favourite I like the set up, and the ensemble cast is decent.
    When is the first film NOT a favourite?
    Cap Winter Soldier comes to mind...

    Definitely Cap 2 and Empire Strikes Back, Wrath of Khan, Spiderman 2, The Two Towers (though I see the trilogy as one film)

    Big Trouble in Little China (1986)

    Always a fun romp that makes me laugh - top entertainment,with Kurt Russell on great form .
    I like it too. Not least for Russell imitating John Wayne.

    Similar to how he imitates Clint Eastwood in the ESCAPE FROM films--which I love.

    I prefer the sequel Resident Evil Apocalypse. It was the closest to the games which is why I enjoy it the most.

    The Phantom Menace a guilty pleasure the prequels are mad, I find Episode 1 a more entertaining watch than Episode 7.

    That’s because episode 7 is an overrated pile of shit

    Indeed it was. I absolutely loved it and will take it in again soon in anticipation of The Last Jedi.

    Here's a bit of a more proper review then...
    Resident Evil (2002) is the sort of high-gloss cheese that demands little of the viewer yet delivers fun in spades anyway- that the story itself makes very little sense is entirely besides the point. Part Night Of The Living Dead, part Aliens, part Mortal Kombat, this horror/sci-fi hodgepodge roars along to Marilyn Manson tunes, lightning fast editing and the always fetching Milla Jovovich's in-air kicks. Never is the #1 rule of good film-making broken (Don't bore us). Its own internal logic get stretched, but it never actually all-out breaks. My most frequently repeated thought during this film: Are you sure you wanna get that close...?
    I had so much fun with this first one, if I only have half as much with each of the next five I will still be happy.

    This is one of the only forums I've been to where fans of the Resident Evil games enjoy the films.

    Personally, I don't play video games at all- so I'm coming at these films rather cold.

    I've only seen them both once, but I think I just slightly preferred 13 Assassins. A bit spiritual at times but much more grounded.

    Well, I didn t like it. I zoned out a lot.

    The Assassin

    Perfect example of how beautiful visuals, colors, and cinematography only go so far. Easily one of the slowest movies I've ever sat through, and I'm all for a "dull" pace, provided what's unfolding on screen is actually engaging and worthwhile.

    Gamera 3 : The Revenge of Iris : As good as the first two of the Heisei era. And darker than any of them. Yes, those giant monster battles cause a lot of collateral damage, and yes, there are victims. And yes, that can have dire consequences for all involved.
