... and now let the rambling being!
Hello everyone ... welcome to the wonderful world of ... the "B". I figured I couldn't let my friends on SG have all the fun to themselves, so I decided to join as well. Plus, now I get my own mini-home on the internet to bitch and complain about the general population of the United States, or at least those that I have given a chance and they blew it.
Speaking of blew it, a large group of SG members (Maddy,shawnAPT2,Melly,Pyrate) and none SG members went to the sneak preview of Resident Evil last-night. I was not completely sure how I felt about it all but after dwelling on the film today ... I now know.
If you haven't seen the film yet ... let me do my public duty and save you $7.50.
The movie starts and for the first 12 minutes of the film you actually believe the movie is going in a positive direction. To better explain the middle of the film, I will give the breakdown in a long run on sentence, since that is how I feel about the middle of the film, it just goes on and on. After you sit thru the next 50 minutes or so, you begin to feel like you are eating a cupcake with no cream filling, but it was tasty at first and your mouth waters but it's missing something ... the cream represents the story elements in the center of the film ... there is none ... and there's hardly any character development to make you care about the characters, plus a pointless strobe cam effect on the zombies that is annoying after the first time you see it, some average to bad camera work at times, action shots ranging from cool to "I must have watched the Matrix when I thought of this shot, but at least it not as lame as House of the Dead" action shots, and the acting from most of the cast is mediocre at best ... oh, and who can forget the token black guy for comic relief that has a great opening bit humorous dialogue but then falls into "well since all we have done so far in this film is action and not added jack to the story, we need humor to counter balance our mistakes". This goes on for a bit longer ... so insert more mindless action This is capped off by the ending which is pretty cool.
I say this ... the way this film was presented, you could have edited the film down to 35 minutes and had a good film, but this is what we get ... a 93 long minute example of how to take a great game, and take a movie with great potential, and create your basic ho-hum less then average survivor horror flick.
This "visual diarrhea" will be remembered in videogamer's hearts as another chapter in the book for what not to do with videogame to movie adaptations.
Ok ... enough rambling ...
