How long does it take to end the movie series?

The problem with Alice in the movies, is more what does her character does with outher women. If she protects them, the female character looks week. If she fights other women, then you have the problem that Buffy and Faith had in Buffy the Vampirer Slayer. Does she fight them to the death, as let I cannot recall she ever killed a woman that was not the undead. If she fights another woman, does she win the fight and keeps her alive for friendship or so fans would say to have a girlfriend. I think Alice has more a problem with other women then she does with men.

Then you really have bad taste as I said Romero is the reason Capcom went to ScreenGems and Anderson no tie-ins to the game franchise instead.

No the problem with Alice for most is that she is an in your face this franchise has no tie-ins to the games nor ever will to the game fans not to mention they have have made her the main and central character overshadowing all other characters in the franchise as well.

I wouldn't say he has bad taste to be honest, Romero is the master of zombie horror flicks.
The reason for his script being declined is due to him supposedly having no connections with the game but then look what anderson had,
the only connection's he had with the game was names of characters, umbrella, enemies (poorly executed at that) and the name Resident Evil.
The first film had high hopes as it was more in favour of that Resident Evil style, the second was enjoyable'ish but had drastically declined the only decent part of that film is when they
recreated the zombie invasion of Raccoon City scene from Resident Evil 3 with the police and UBCS trying to keep the city contained.
The third film had blown it even by the early news of it, didn't take a genious to realise the out come of the film before it was ever shown.
I think, in fact I KNOW if Romero was to have studied Resident Evil a little more then his portrayal of Resident Evil would have surpassed Anderson movies
by a long shot.

I hate the live action movies but everyone is entitled to there opinions.
I also dont hate on anyone for enjoying them.
So to say someone has bad taste is repressing there opinion a little, come on man

I know I'm just sick and tired of hearing how good Romero's script was I've read and is a pile of shit and what irks me even more is that many still want him to direct an RE REBOOT!

Why? The man is only good at making Zombie films don't people understand that Resident Evil is about far, far, far more than Zombies CARAJO! Evil or Very Mad

I Rather see Guillermo del Toro or someone of his caliber direct an RE reboot. To hell with Romero and to hell with Anderson.

Romero has worked with Capcom in the past so it would only make sense.

If he had directed the movies to begin with they might not have been blown to this much fame but at least, and I can count on it, they would have been more enjoyable.

They most defiantly would be much more enjoyable
Plus people are forgetting it was Romero worked along side Capcom in Resident Evil 2 and gave his expertise on that zombie outbreak scenario.
He also directed the t.v spot for resident evil 2 as well.

So freaking what? off course they worked with him when they made RE2 he is the father of the modern zombie genre but other than than zombie movies he is a terrible choice for an RE movie unless you want RE to be just about zombies when we all well know it is not.

Seriously people why not consider an actually good director like Gillermo del Toro who can really make movies that can make you shit on your pants of fright. This obsession over Romero is senseless.

So people like him and his movies? What's that to you, really?

I have honestly liked all his Dead series films, even past the fact that they're about zombies. They actually have a good story too. That there, is my opinion.

So? I like his movies too but again all he is good for is Zombie films ALONE, how does that make him the one and only choice for most for a Resident Evil live action film franchise reboot when Resident Evil is not just about zombies is and will forever remain an unexplained sniglet of the universe.

Name one thing that makes him superior to Gullermo Del Toro, Wes Craven and so many masters of horror and if you answer zombies you failed again unless you want Resident Evil to be exclusively about zombies when the games are not.

Because I like him more than those other guys? I seriously don't care who directs the possible reboot as long as it isn't Anderson.

Besides, didn't I say "even past the fact that they're about zombies"? His movies have a good story that I like so that makes me see him as a good director/writer.

Please keep your frustration levels at a minimum.
These are all our opinions, why are you getting so defensive ?
There not your opinions, we get that so there is no need to repress our thoughts.
You also contradicted yourself, you keep claiming we have an obession towards Romera, but all I have seen is you have an obsession for Gullermo Del Toro.
Gullermo Del Toro in my opinion is a decent director. Pans labyrinth was one of the most artistically portrayed horror fantasy of this generation.
I rated it very highly. Also since you seem to love Gullermo Del Toro work you should know that he turned down the chance to direct both resident evil : apocalypse and Resident Evil : extinction.
That being said he is not the master of horror.
His work includes only two horrors, The devils backbone & Pans labyrinth.
His style is more suited for fantasy, not true horror.
Wes craven was a master of horror but he was more slasher and had a more cliché style of story telling that seemed to get repetitive, he would not be suited for Resident Evil.
So out of the people you have mentioned not one of there directing style's even come close to being suited for Resident Evil.
Romero's way of portraying generic zombie flicks with added in depth and chilling story lines was perfect, he captured much more elements of horror and fear in his movies through the storyline rather than the zombies. His style is second to none and I think you need to respect that.
You keep saying Resident evil is not based around zombies ...... what did the t-virus do to people again ?

It wouldn't be a Reboot if it's Anderson anymore than if Raimi had continued to make his Spidey films so that point is moot.

And the fact is and remains that the ONLY thing Romero excels at is Zombie films and NOTHiNG else the proof being his RE script.

I mentioned it because there has been talk of the bastard actually rebooting his own series. I even linked the article on this very thread.

While Romero excels at those the STORY is still there and it's GOOD. So what's the point in complaining about other people's opinions?

+1.

Everyone has their own opinions

Actually that's as far from the truth as the poles are from each other his horror movie credits go as far back as 1991 and include Mimic, The devil's backbone,The orphanage,Splice and Don't be afraid of the dark.

So yes he is officially considered a master of horror whether you like it or not.

Wrong again specially on Del Toro.

With all due respect his movies are all about the zombies. I like and enjoy his movies but until he makes an actually good film that doesn't have zombies as the centerpiece you won't convince me he can do anything but well Zombie films. And Dario Argento's zombie is far scarier than any of the Romero films put together specially the eye popping scene. Smile

That's because it is not it's also about canibalistic crows and cerberus, lickers and Tyrants

It's not about those either if we get technical. Besides, crows and cerberi are zombies too (just animal ones) and lickers are further mutations of regular zombies.

Romero could be making movies about killer bees for all I care but his movies still have a good storyline, whether you like it or not. If you can't agree, then that's your opinion.

He has also made other movies, like Crazies. That's a good one too.

After that sad excuse for an RE script he wrote I wouldn't want him anywhere near the RE live action fil franchise anymore than Anderson.

No offense to the others, but I agree with this guy. Just because Romero's RE was better than the shitstains we get from Anderson, doesn't mean it would have done RE any more justice.

Speaking of the script I just found it online so i'll do what I should've done along time ago....read it

He cant be the master of horror due to they films being underground.
In fact the only one that was released here was Pan's labyrinth and it was english subbed.
So actually it's not far from the truth.
Why are you giving me his wiki link ?
He was not suited for Resident Evil, HE HIMSELF even rejected the the offer to direct the second and third.
His style would be more suited for the likes of Amnesia if that was ever made into film.
In fact he would actually do a fantastic job in that department.
The end of the day it's our opinion, we like Romaro, we are not obsessed with him we just think if he was to do Resident Evil he would have made a better film than Anderson.
We never said it would be an amazing film but it would have been BETTER.
Script's change when it comes to directing anyway, directors are also editing there work due to it not feeling right or isn't being portrayed right.
So looking at words on a piece of paper doesn't instantly show you what the final outcome would be.
If you want to get technical then Resident evil isn't based around zombies, its based around umbrella and there work.
The story is about the producing a virus that would regenerate living cells (in rough context) and the first games centre point was based around zombies.
So going back to the first game in the series it WAS developed as a zombie game.
You only found out the plot line near the end or through the notes.

I will also say this again, you have your opinion and we have ours so stop always trying to be right in the conversation and acting immature
by basically telling everyone they are wrong.
The context of your replies shows a level of immaturity, stop getting so mad at someone else's thoughts.

I will also put my hand up and say this in hopes we will all agree to disagree. Nobody is right in this scenario.

The script wasn't favored but the reasoning of it being "too different from the games" is and will always be BS to me. The game contained characters and settings from the game. The pace was even slower like the games. To reject Romero's script and pick Anderson's shows they were looking for a more action packed film. I'm not saying Romero's film would have been 100 % perfect but it would've been better than what Anderson made.

I know, a number of people hate the scrips of the movies. Still, I think it all goes back to the first movie. True, Alice may be getting to be a problem with all the hogging she does in the movies. Maybe, it is time to have a second woman without Alice. One woman does in this time, then Alice comes back for the next, then back again. True, ther would be a damand that the two would will be in the same movie. Who would be leading the movie, I really do not know or care at this time.

Still, I think we can get more years with the movies as it always picks up the youth market under the age of 25.
