Paul W.S Anderson Talks About Resident Evil 6

I watched number 1 as a child; thought it was okay. Watched number 2 years later: What the hell was that crap???!!!

I'm not really expecting anything from the movies. Haven't had any expectations after the third one.

Hah, I know, I know, Extinction sucks.

I would say the same for Sherry now... but when the previous movies were made Sherry hadn't returned to the games yet.
So in my opinion Kmart = Sherry.

Just you wait. I could bet that Anderson would slap both Jake and Sherry in the next movie because they were in the latest game. With a bunch of copied scenes, maybe even the Ustanak for good measure.

I really hope not. I mean I love Sherry (hints username lol) but to me, It already makes sense if Kmart = Sherry.
The relationship between Claire and Kmart is already there... adding another character with the name "Sherry Birkin" would be random, since their is already Kmart.... but then again, it is the movie universe, everything is basically different.
And I really can't stand Jake. So fingers-crossed that doesn't happen. Unless he dies in the movie, then MAYBE.  
I'd be OK with them adding Ustanak.
And they could add Piers, I'd like that. lol

I so wait for the hopefully last movie so I can watch it and never again touch them.

Nothing is impossible when it comes to Anderson. But if that ever happens, I don't think Capcom will approve it.

Capcom is well aware that the movies are different from the games. One main reason we didn't get five different clones of Ada Wong running around China.

I actually enjoy the movies for what they are.
They aren't connected to the games canon. The movies are their own story.
It's like a fan-fiction in my eyes. Paul's fanfic.

That's why I don't think they should try and add Alice to the games. She's not from the video game's story-line and it should stay that way. They are two different worlds and that shouldn't be changed.

On another note, I wonder if there will be a re-make of the movies in the future? a re-make much closer to the actually game's story-line. Starting with RE1 or they could tie in RE0 and RE1 together in one movie.

They're going to keep making them. As long as they make money, they're going to keep making them. They're painfully showing us that's their intentions since they didn't stop after Resident Evil: Afterlife.

I cannot enjoy the movies after the second one. At all. This has absolutely nothing to do with them being RE, it has to do with how absolutely terrible director Anderson is and how the movies, even without the Resident Evil name on them, would be a bag of crap to me. Afterlife is literally one of the worst movies I've ever seen in my life and I've seen all kinds of shit. Every time I see the case on my shelf I contemplate on destroying it. At least I didn't pay anything for it. I'm also fully aware they are not connected to the story in any way.

Btw. Remaking the movies would make no sense. A reboot is what I'd prefer to see.

Anderson has made it quite clear that he is planning on the sixth movie being a finale. I'm certain the movies will keep coming but at least I can rest easy if this whoel Alice storyline is put to rest.

My opinion, is to watch Degeneration and Damnation. I own both and they are both the only REAL RE movies.

You skipped the original RE Movie, 4d Executer.

They've approved a lot of things. Like the original SF movie.

Trust me, Capcom is not alone in this. Most VG-to-movie adaptations are terrible. It's like a rule or something.

That is very true. The only film adaptation that I like, and I could say better is the Mortal Kombat, Max Payne, and Silent Hill.

Neglects to mention Tomb Raider, instead says Max Payne.

lI'm very sorry I forgot to mention Tomb Raider.What is wrong with Max Payne? I like that film it is more better than Resident Evil, Tekken, and Dragon Ball Z films. It's just my opinion anyway.

Tekken was okay if you wanted a live-action spin-off that is barely Tekken at all, but Max Payne was in no way like the games...okay, maybe just a little bit.

No way. Tekken is a really bad film for me. Max Payne is fine with me.

Max Payne was waaaay better than Tekken. At least Max was still Max while in the Tekken movie none of the characters actually made sense. I much prefer the animated ones.

Remake/reboot.
Remake's are most of the times reboot's

I gotta disagree. Remake does not equal reboot. The GC version of RE is a remake while the new Tomb Raider is a reboot. The difference is that reboot has a whole new storyline and (usually) starts from the beginning but a remake mostly retains the original idea and material.

Mass, that's what I'm tryin' to say to him. Max Payne is a good adaptation film. Tekken is so just bad. Jin looks gay. Kazuya looks bad either. They're tryin' to make a romance connection between Jin, and Cristie.

Even though I still didn't like Tekken, that's why I said that is was okay for a barely Tekken live-action spin-off. It's like Fighting/Conspiracy/Rivalry/Tekken-themed characters...and laughably bad at best. Max Payne wasn't exactly Max Payne, and it didn't capture the feel of the games...but did a better job than Tekken...and infinitely better than RE/MKA

Here's my take on live action videogame movies: Straight up shouldn't happen unless a really good director and some beyond decent actors are available. Unless that happens...

Should not happen.

Mortal Kombat was cool. Tomb Raider was nice. Tekken sucked. Max Payne was eh. RE shall not be mentioned so because it is terrible.

CGI is the way to go for videogame movies for me. Either that, or machinima.
