Watched the new Resident Evil: Retribution in 3D and Imax. The effects were awesome and as always the action scenes are pretty great. Plot wise...not so sure. I'm not well versed in the video games so I feel I can't make an accurate comment on the plot.

Thoughts, likes, dislikes on the movies or games or boths?

I've seen all of the live action Resident Evil films, and I don't really care for them. I much prefer the plot of the games. I haven't seen Retribution yet, I probably will at some point, but I don't think I'll enjoy it judging from the previews. I think the films would be a lot more successful with the gaming audience if they didn't use characters from the game that people already like and know.

I know I would have liked it a lot more if it was it's own separate story with no connections to the already established Resident Evil characters. I'm not saying it's a bad series of films though, a lot of people seem to enjoy it.

I enjoy them a lot. Decent action movies. Actually sitting in the theater waiting for the last one to start. Pretty sure thi is the last one. To be honest, a big part is my thing for Milla Jovovich.

They're nothing like the games, and they don't have to be (they'd get too complicated and tangled plotwise in a hurry). They don't have the greatest of plots but I liked the movies for the setting and action, and as Dat mentioned, Milla Jovovich being a badass. Feels like the movies would look like straight to DVD releases without her.

So, not the best, but not the worst. Though Kevin will hate it. Has dub step.

Milla, yup.

^

She has some seriously weird nipples and I just can't get over that.

I will say after every resident evil movie is over I automatically want to kick ass like Milla. The action and fighting is just so awesome. I just felt with this one the plot could've have been a little less redundant. I know we're not going for the most well written plot but there were things they could've gotten across in short convos instead of a couple of scenes.

I never understood most peoples fascination with milla, in my opinion, the only real badass in RE was michelle rodriguez... Lol, also only reason I put up with watching machete.

My fascination with her has nothing to do with the RE series. That obsession has been going on since Return to Blue Lagoon.

I thought run lola run was her debut.

I think you're getting the red hair of Franka Potente mixed up with the red hair Milla had in The Fifth Element. Far as I know Milla wasn't in Run Lola Run at all. She had a couple of TV things and maybe one movie when she was 12 or 13 before Return to Blue Lagoon, but I'm pretty sure that's where she got her real start. Kind of funny and an easy one to confuse. Milla and Franka are about a year apart in age, Run Lola Run and The Fifth Element released about a year apart, and both actresses had red hair in the movies.

You are right, good catch.
