Resident Evil 2

[granitemonkey]

Hey all, I am back after a 4 month absence. So now I am back to raise hell:D Anyone plan on seeing Resident Evil 2?

[KRUGERKID13]

no i like good zombie movies not crappy based video game zombie movies but thats just me

[granitemonkey]

Well, at least some people are still to trying to keep the horror market alive.

[KRUGERKID13]

yeah by ripping off or remaking stuff thats already been done. Its very rare to find a good horror movie thats semi original and re isnt one of em

[granitemonkey]

You have a good point, not too many original horror ideas floating around.

[KRUGERKID13]

thats why i love Cabin Fever

[youshouldvknown]

Cabin Fever was basically a slasher flick without the slasher.

I'll be seeing RE2. I've got a thing for Milla Jovovich anyway. I liked the first one, though. Seeing as I don't play video games (like some mindless drones) that actually has no affect on whether or not I liked the film. Make-up was good, the acting was great and the story, although a little hokey, was pretty decent. What more is there?

[evil_blonde]

i think ill see that eventually.....

[Hate_Breeder]

I might check it out...

[Vodstok]

I weant to see it, but not in a theater. it look slike it will be more action than the first one, and i dont really want "5th element vs the zombies and nemesis"....


I hope it is at least decent... I need to write some screenplays.... then we will get some original and downright freaky shit in the theaters...plus, then i could put my grea great grandkidds through college if i wanted

[goth_poser]

naw, resident evil sucks...............

[carnage]

I'll prolly go see it, but most likely it will be a rental....

[Sam The Egg]

Re2 is out already?

[Proteus]

I think its gonna be way worse than the first one which was ok but I have to admit Nemesis does look pretty cool!

Proteus

[MichaelMyers]

No thank you.

[HauteTension676]

prob not since i never did see Resident Evil the first one

[IDrinkYourBlood]

I really really REALLY disslike this movie series. Im a fanatic gamer and own the video games, and i gotta say that the movie is nothing like the games at all. RE2 the movie looks so retarded. I dont even consider these Zombie movies (unlike the game which was all about zombies). But scince I am a film fanatic and pop cultur guru I will see it.

[CursedRatMonkey]

I was into The whole Resident Evil games, I even own The first residnet evil movie.

I am dissapointed in paul anderson though.
He did a decent job on the first, but he spent to much money on cgi, that his props, and sets sucked.


And I am kinda dissapointed in the 2nd one, when I saw the trailer, it was mainly action, which completely defeats the perpose of horror and horror based games.

[cheebacheeba]

I suppose it would've been better if they were wondering back and forth between the same places again and again and AGAIN, pushing around statues, searching for fuses, keys and the like?
That kinda thing can make a game, but it'd make a movie pretty fucking boring...

I personally think the nemesis in the trailer looks fucking stupid...the look of the thing in the game just doesn't tranlate into the movie. They should've changed it, you know, like they did everything else?

Rat - don't let a trailer decide the movie for you. They ALWAYS show more action than plot, especially in this type of movie.
I'm not saying it's going to be any good, only to see it before you make your mind up on how shitty it IS.

[CursedRatMonkey]

I haven't made my mind yet.
And I think it would have been better if the Director would have spent his money differently.
He should have used make up more on the zombies then the CGI.
I mean there are two or three zombies in it, that you only see once or twice, and they are CGI zombies.
They are basicly a waste of money.
All you see of them is just them and thats it.
Nothing special about them except the cgi.

They should have only used cgi for the Licker, and thats it.

[cheebacheeba]

Well, if you're saying that you dislike the cgi zombies, I'd agree with you.
A cgi zombie just wouldn't work IMO...makeup gore all the way!

[CursedRatMonkey]

Roger Avary said that "No matter how detailed, and how realistic you make CGI, You still know that it is a computer" or something like that.
I agree with him.

Hey, did you know that dawn and day of the dead had minor computer effects?

On dawn, on the part where the zombie gets the top of his head choped off by the helicopter blades, the blades are not real.

And on day, at the begining, when you see the zombie that had all of his organs sliced, and he brakes loose and reaches towards the main character,and then the doctor drills his head.
The drill bit was actually a straw and they went over it with the computer.

Minor computer efx, that is how they should be used.
For minor adjustments.
Not major parts.
Unless it calls for it.
Like on LOTR, Gollum was acceptable to be a CGI character.
Basicly that movie would have been harder and more time consuming to make without CGI.
But when it comes to horror, you really dont need CGI

[Sistinas]

I watched it today and was pleasantly surprised.Not great but decent.Your thoughts?

[-->oscam5<--]

I'll watch it just for Nemesis. He rocks.:D

[cheebacheeba]

sinistas...better than the first?

[Sistinas]

Did anyone go watch this yet?

[Lucid Dreams]

i'm planning on it sometime this week so hopefully i'll get to it...i heard that it was good

[Hate_Breeder]

Never thought of it that way......but i hope it comes to the theatres here

[Vampenguin]

Im trying to convince my dad to take me....We watched the 1st last week, he didnt mind it....he actually liked it a little. Prolly cause it was more action than horror.

I think I might get to it this week, maybe

[thecritic]

Overall I thought that it was very good. The action in it was much more exciting, but indeed it was anexxcellent film. I really liked the ending(which I won't say for obvious reasons) but it was very good.

hated the first one but thought it was an awsome action movie.

so terrible horror movie awsome action movie

[Sistinas]

Yeah, a great action movie, not a great horror film.

[Vampenguin]

I saw the new one last night.....Thats my opinion on both. All though, the church scence (Until Alice showed up) was kinda horrorish.....Especially him "feeding" his sister....


But ya, AWESOME action movie!!!!! I loved the forst for what it is(Action, not horror).....but this is just so much better!!!!!

[elsid]

HEY SISTINAS WHEN DID YOU BECOME A MOVIE EXPERT.

HEY ELSID
WHEN DID YOU START DELUDING YOURSELF INTO THINKING ANYONE MIGHT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT ANYTHING YOU SAY?

[MrShape]

Pretty decent zombie pic. Better zombie action then the first one. I think my favorite part was where the reporter gets ripped apart by the zombie school kids.

[megalomaniac]

[IDrinkYourBlood]

[Vampenguin]

Awww....Lol:)

[xGuardianx03]

Just got back from watching RE2 and I loved it. I thought the zombies were great (yay, they are finally in the city and out of the hive), the action was awesome and Nemesis kicks ass! Well, all but one ass. ;)

Yeah, thats what I thought.I liked this one better than the first, how about you guys?

[cheebacheeba]

I know this is kinda unrelated, but hey, since re2 is not yet out here, I'm gonna talk about a game.

re: code veronica, the one initially on dreamcast. I'm about half way through, and have just finished the claire redfield portion of the game, the cutscene at the end lead me to beleive she might be dead?
Is that the case?

I know I played it,it has been awhile, but I think she does live, I may be wrong though.

[cheebacheeba]

It was like, her and that steve kid were escaping in a big snowmobile, the dead bitch woke up, saw her brother dying, and then some super fast arm thingy sped out after the 'mobile and stomped it a few times. Last I saw the thing was on its side burning...?

That does not sound familiar.Wasnt that a 2 disk game?If not I am thinking of the wrong one.I do remember snow right after you knocked the boss out of the plane.

[cheebacheeba]

Yeah, you do a lil bit more with her after the plane crashes into the antarctic facility, you escape on the abovementioned snowmobile.

[Sistinas]

Yeah, and there is a facility that is all iced up inside and a crane has some importance, right?There are a bunch of big spiders running aroud to I think.

[cheebacheeba]

Yep, I PLAYED A LITTLE FURTHER AS cHRIS, AND YOU DO FIND HER ALIVE AND PLAY AGAIN AS HER FOR A LIL' BIT...SHE WAS IN SOME GOOP STUCK TO A WALL...

[Sistinas]

I dont think I made it that far.......I kind of lost interest.

[cheebacheeba]

I know....RE games tend to piss me off....but I get to the point where I just say "fuck you bitch, you're Gonna get finished!"
and play it til I win...
So far I've finished 1 & 2, never really played 3 much...

[ChuckyKlrDoll]

I just figured this out, not sure as to how many of you had already figured it out. But anyways, when Alices eyes open at the beginning, then the camera goes into her eyes and then she starts explaining the events which lead up to the t virus infection escaping into the city,notice that theres like a weird 5 sided camera thats showing all of this stuff happening. Also notice the scene where Alice drives off with Jill,Carlos and the rest from that new umbrella facility at the end before they reach the gate is shown at the beginning through the 5 sided camera. Then before they go to the title of the film, they show Alices eyes with like a far away look. So what I'm saying is, the scene before they put the title of the film up is of Alice after that doctor utters the words *Program Alice activated*. and The voiceover at the beginning where Alice says *My name is Alice etc etc*...is Alice taping her confession in the van after Jill hands her the camera and says *tape the story*. They cut that part short though because we've already heard everything shes gonna say at the beginning. So all in all, the opening scene where they show flashbacks from the first film, takes place inside Alices now reprogrammed mind. Then they pan out to Alices eyes at the part where she says *we thought we'd survived the horror...we were wrong*, which is after her new programming has kicked in and the umbrella logo flashes in her eyes. Thus the beginning of the film is actually the end.

[barbra]

so deep

[kung-fu-jesus]

my brain is going to explode

to many questions to answer

also WTF

[ItsAlive75]

That's a cool lil' tidbit, dunno if it deserves it's own thread.

Certainly doesn't deserve a "WTF" though.

[kung-fu-jesus]

well actualy it dose, he typed way to much info ansd went way to indepth, i also got lost confused and didnt realy remember the question, did you

if you did could you type it in english the summerize and finaly condense. please, cause reading it hurts my brain

[ChuckyKlrDoll]

Basically when we see the flashbacks at the very start of the film in a computer rotating square like form, thats Alices mind having been reprogrammed by umbrella. Thats why it looks like that inside her head as opposed to what it looked like when she had flashbacks in part 1. Thats also why during the flashback scene you can see a shot of the van carrying carlos, jill, and angie and l.j. leaving the umbrella facility. Then after the flashbacks they show Alices eyes, right before the title of the film comes up on the screen. So those flashbacks Alice is having before the film begins, shes having them post umbrella reprogramming. The same facial expression shot at the end when the doctor says *program alice activated*. is the exact same facial shot of her we get before the title comes up at the start of the movie. As for Alices voiceover at the start of the movie, thats taken from her telling her story to terris camera after Jill hands it to her when all of them are in the van driving to city hall.

Not being funny here...but anyone who types and spells like you do is in NO position to tell someone else to 'type in English' or to state it was confusing! :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:


Chucky: Actually that's a good observation...I may pick this film up as I liked it. If I do I shall look out for your theory.

[crazy raplh]

I don't know bu tthe monster in that movie was bad ass.

[crippler666]

Agree with you to a point... Yes the beginning is near the end but, I beleave that the whole plot was one big experiment,
t-virus internal infection vs external infection which would explain why the nemesis was a bit of a pussy at the end, as infection is easier (to the outside world) by a carrier than someone who shows external simptoms.

[42ndStreetFreak]

Actually i think that's probably more likely...
Don't forget she was already infected with the T Virus, which means the initial 'Umbrella eye' was probably in reference to that fact...more symbolic than anything else?

they didnt say that on the commentary....(3 different commentaris on my dvd) ..they said it was flashbacks from the first movie... :confused:

Interesting stuff...

[urgeok]

the only thing i noticed was my watch.
I personally thought this was one of the worst movies I'd seen in many years.

Yea the flashbacks were from the first movie. It's just that the way and the format in which they were shown to us as opposed to the way Alices flashbacks were shown to us in part 1 are a clue that she had already been reprogrammed by umbrella.and That takes place at the end of the film.

Totally agree, Nemisis was the only good thing about the movie

I dont think so.... sequenses/scenes are often a little bit different in sequels...;)

[kung-fu-jesus]

1. nemisis was bad ass.

2. chuckykrldoll has to much time and over thinks shit way to much.

3. the end was the end and the begining was the begining not a flash back, there are things in common but they are not the same.

4. why am i still on this thread?
