Saw RE:A tonight. Some thoughts:

- Those who didn't play the game must have been *really* confused when
Jill erupted in the police station: she already knew what to expect and how
to deal with it. Still, one or two lines of dialogue explaining her actions would
have been welcome for them.

- Replacing Claire's entrance in the Umbrella headquarters for Alice's and
basically having her do the same things move for move was simultaneously
exciting and frustrating to watch: keep it for the third installment or do the
scene properly.

The movie had a videogame "feel", which must be responsible for my
partial appreciation of it. RE:A was loosely based on the 3rd game and
made much more sense (in terms of what RE is) than the first, which I
found completely lacking. Alice has disturbing potential for the 3rd movie
and the Nemesis was a lot of fun to see on the big screen. Jill was very
sexah and Olivera had bad-ass written all over him. Say what you want
but the token black man was the shit: he made my day...

"GTA muthafucka! Ten points!"

yea I wasn't a fan of the random toking make fun of black guy.

Epps was cool.

meh, i thought the first one was way better. i never played the game so i dont know how the story should go. but, the whole corporation taking over a city bullshit really sounded stupid to me, especially if they have the capabilities of nuking a damn town. the movie was exciting at the beginning, but the way the whole thing unfolded stunk like a turd.
