Nope, just would have preferred a movie with a sensible plot, characters who weren't so f-ing stupid I didn't give a crap about them, and an ending that was not a contrived, overdone duplicate of that in movies like :o THE SIXTH SENSE, THE OTHERS, and STAY. :o Both RE and SH happened to lack all of those elements, particularly SILENT HILL.
Sure the atmosphere, setting, and eye candy looked great, but to me, that's not enough to make a movie, and I'm not alone in this theory. Case in point in a different genre--WHAT DREAMS MAY COME. It had Robin Williams, whom most moviegoers loved, and settings and scenes that were drop-dead gorgeous but still flopped. Why? Like SILENT HILL, WHAT DREAMS MAY COME was, as one professional critic put it, "Beautiful to look at, but dumb as dust." To me, SH was basically WDMC the horror version.
