Resident Evil: Vendetta

The film seems like it had promise. It started out OK, even though everyone in the movie, including soldiers, are stupid enough to just stand there and look at the zombies until they get attacked by them. The villain had an interesting back story and seemed like he might have depth, but then he just gets comical towards the end. Near the end everything just gets even more silly, to the point of insulting your intelligence - even for a zombie movie! The heroes never run out of bullets and can get knocked across the room without as much as a limp. It's predictable and uninteresting. I was hoping the animated films might make up for the live action ones going downhill, but I've basically lost faith in this whole game franchise when it comes to films now.

Hi guys, back with me again, I'll divide this movie from this 3 scores: Story (no story, no movie), Graphics (more reality, more we can feel the movie itself) and additional genres assessment which the purpose of the movie (such as Action, Fantasy, Adventure, etc.). Hopefully, by scoring to those criteria, readers can be interested to watch the movie. And of course this assessment is subjective (but i'll try to be objective as much as possible)

Resident Evil: Vendetta Disclaimer #1: I am a fan of Resident Evil, both game and animation series, and the movie series Disclaimer #2: This is an animation spin-off movie; don't expect the same result as a real-life movie. Want to enjoy the movie more? Play the games.

Story: 6/10 Yeah, it is a spin-off, has no deep of the story. But for a Resident Evil fans, they will watch it just to link every stories Resident Evil was made. But, what I like from Resident Evil developers, they always show new kind of viruses which create new result of the infected. And then there's Rebecca Chambers XDD, so long this character didn't show up.

Graphics: 7.5/10 (Animation) I give my assessment as an animation movie. For it, RE: Vendetta gives great graphics of animation which can be enjoyed in entire of this movie.

Additional Genres: Action: 8/10 (Animation) As I disclaim previously, nothing in this animation movie is real- life, so every impossibilities could be denied in the assessment. As an animation movie, RE; Vendetta gives a lot of action scenes which every of them success to make my eyes didn't blink. It was also helped by great viewpoint taken and slow motion.

Thriller: 6.5/10 Trap in the room filled by zombies and facing B.O.W. (Bio-Organic Weapon) while your friend is dying are success to make my heart rate increased. Zombies, as one of the best component in every thriller movie, are inserted well in this movie.

Overall: 7 To promote its game through the movie, RE; Vendetta did a great job.

I'm a huge Resident Evil fan, from the games to the movies and including the previous animated attempts. They didn't exactly set the world on fire but they were perfectly watchable efforts.

I was very excited to hear about this being released so perhaps my expectations were a tad high, and I can confirm they were not met.

The story very generic, the animation sub-par and the fight scenes were let's just say interesting. For some reason the creators thought they'd blend Resident Evil with The Matrix as the characters seem to be able to move neo-style to such extents I found myself cringing. These are average joes not ninja *Slaps creators wrists" bad creators, bad! Seriously why is Leon Kennedy doing bullet time triple back-flips with a dragon screw rotation while shooting zombies in the head and throwing knives and writing an essay and having a length conversation with his girlfriend before even landing? I mean okay that's a tad exaggerated but not as much as you'd imagine.

Vendetta isn't bad, it's just silly and anti-climatic compared to the previous films.

Relatively well done in terms of CGI. The story is acceptable, but for the end, in the action scenes it fell into exaggeration. The hand-to-hand fight with the pistols is a complete exaggeration, and the acrobatics with the motorcycle at the level of the absurd.

I went into this movie expecting the standard Resident Evil zombie/body-horror experience, knowing full well there would be some corny voice acting and 80's action movie cliches. And honestly, that's exactly what I got. This movie would have been a 5/10 (passable) for me if it wasn't for how profoundly ridiculous it gets at certain parts. Within the first 20 minutes of this film I saw two separate characters scream dramatically into the sky while the camera pulled away. Awe-inspiring.

This movie truly commits to the cheesy action genre it was inspired by, and it's hilarious to watch. While it was probably not the director's intent, I'd much rather scream "WHAT" at the screen than be bored. And trust me, you will be screaming "WHAT". 6/10
