    Resident Evil: Retribution

    The new Resident Evil movie is due out this September. Rather than a reboot with a story something along the lines of the first few games (which are actually pretty decent stories in their own right) Mila Jovovich is in it again. So is Michelle Rodriguez (she's awful in everything). I really liked the first RE movie. It was a fun "locked in a room with zombies and there's no way out" flick. I can't say the same about any of the ones that came after. Alice is this generations Ripley. For the longest time, Hollywood felt you couldn't make an Alien movie without her, now it seems we can't get a RE film without Alice. In both franchises, neither character is all that interesting and you don't need either one in every movie and yet here we are again.
    This one actually looks pretty good though (don't they all?) It simply cannot be worse than the last one.

    I love Mila Jovovich ever since I saw her as Leeloo in The Fifth Element...and yes, I enjoy her Resident Evil flicks, lol.

    ...and I agree on Michelle Rodriguez...don't like he either...I don't know why they keep hiring her...she's a one-note actress...always in pizzed off mode, meh.

        I watch all of these films and they are a guilty pleasure for me and my wife. For the life of me though I don't remember them at all.

        They keep my buddy Sean in a job though.

            I gotta admit the same. As much as a movie buff as I am and as fussy as I am with the quality of the movies I like, I have to admit that I really enjoy watching this movie franchise. I don't care how bad everyone says they are, I love them!

              It's really telling that the audiences always rate the RE movies much higher than critics.
              Resident Evil - Rotten Tomatoes

              Obviously the two groups are looking for much different things in this franchise.

              Me personally, I get a kick out of seein' my hometown blowed up real good.

                I especially loved in part 2 when the helicopter crashed in Spencer Gorge. I take pictures of my kids there every summer.

                  I've never seen any of these. As an outsider, it seems like they've made about 20 by now.

                    Love Mila as well and the RE flicks, I fell in love with her in Dazed and confused she was so cute

                    I like Michelle though, she was great in the fast and the furious

                      also think one based off of the actual video game would be cool to see

                        I liked the 1st 3 Just fine ...., But I didn't care much for the 4th Film , outside of the Firering of the Shot Gun with Coins . I will ofcourse check this Film out as well.

                        I like Michelle Rodiguez ...., She seems so Damn Nasty , it's attractive to Me. She Frick'in Died in the 1st ..., I dunno how she's back.

                        And Ripely was Best in Aliens 4 ..... , They Shoulda Made a few More, with her as the Test Tube Baby ...., it was great.
                        ... The Original Knight ..., Often Imitated, However Never Duplicated. The 1st Knight in Customs.

                          Alice has died too many times to count in this series because she's actually an army of clones... I'm sure they will have no trouble providing a clone explanation for Rodriguez's character.

                            The animated one is as close as we get.
