Jill? Wasn't she the cop who quit in Resident Evil 3, In the movie her name is Alice, It's shown in the credits in part 1

Oh How I loved Resident Evil 3, I was merely 7 when I had it, It has my absoulute favorite game, I had nightmares but some sort of urge made me wanna keep playing it, I never finished the game because my dumbass cousin broke my Playstation by prying off the thing in the center that holds the disc. He also broke my super-rare Sonic Adventure plastic bendies. Did Resident Evil ever get re-released or will I have to buy a PS, PS data doesn't save properly on my PS2 Memory Card. I'm hoping it was re-released for Gamecube.

I didn't like it because I scare easier than anyone. Yet I watched this movie by myself at 3 AM and I wasn't scared at all at any point during the movie. The games were at least kinda freaky. Not that I have ever played any for a decent amount of time.

Heh, I LOVE scary movies, but they give me the chills.

I think Resident Evil Part 1, did not qualify to be a scary movie. It felt more like an action movie, nothing was scary except when zombies pop out when you don't expect it. Also I think they should have said Alice's name, I thought she was Jill. But her name in the movie was Alice. Which you really could not know, because not once in the movie did they mention her name. Her name is featured in the credits.

No, Jill and Alice are two completely different characters.

The incredible remake of Resident Evil was released for the Gamecube, as well as direct ports of Resident Evil 2, 3, and CODE: Veronica X. Also the completely original Resident Evil 0, and upcoming Resident Evil 4 are exclusive Gamecube releases.

No, Alice is Alice. She isn't Jill. RE3 takes place "During" this second RE movie: You meet up with Jill (in aformentioned RE3 Jill outfit; that blue tanktop thing) whom is on the run from Nemesis. Basically, if the trailers are any indication:

Everybody is sealed inside Racoon City (how convenient that there are BIG FREAKIN' 40 FOOT WALLS SURROUNDING THE ENTIRE DAMN CITY) to stop the spread of the virus. Alice has somehow been genetically modified so she's like supergirl now or some shit, and she comes in and she starts kickin' some zombie ass and all the characters from the game (Jill, Carlos) are like "WHOA! WE BOW DOWN TO YOU! WE TOTALLY SUCK AGAINST SLOW-ASS DUMB-AS-POTATOS ZOMBIES!"

Like I said, It's a Mary-Sue Resident Evil Fanfic turned Feature-Length Film.

The first Resident Evil movie was hilarious. The games up to that point always focused on melodic, quiet, yet ominous music. When an actual battle came up, the tone of the music came up with it, but the pace slowed once the threat was gone. Yet about the damn entirety of the first movie is filled with all sorts of noisy, violent, thrashy music, like a battle theme strung through a cat's vocal cords and oversynthesized on a computer, courtesy of Marilyn Manson and someone else I can't remember.

And the zombies... you'd think the zombies would be more of a mainstay, but instead we get about maybe ten to fifteen minutes of zombie action. And even then, when they got down to the shooting, it took them at least TEN of those minutes to realize that you had to shoot them in the head to kill them. Or break their necks. Whichever. The zombie makeup WAS pretty neat. 'cept for the dogs. Looked as if they were covered with some extra red food coloring left over by the caterers.

And how about that licker? You know it was all CGI, but it looked pretty good and actually looked like a Licker, if only way too fucking big. But the one target it does manage to nail... you don't even see the tongue put to use, which is a bloody shame. When you do see the tongue put to use, it's undergone some sort of retarded transformation that reminds me of something out of a DBZ movie.

The rest of the movie is filled with people whining about how they're trapped or whining about how the situation is really, really bad.

That said, I'll definitely have to see the sequel. Is Alice's acting just as bland as in the first?

She just looks sort of surly for the entire film.

They're re-animated corpses that feed on human flesh. C'mon, people.

I hope that teaches you a lesson. :grin:

Oh, and neither the New Haven Advocate nor CNN had favorable reviews of "Resident Evil: Apocalypse", for that matter (I'll dig up the URLs later. I'm going to bed now).
