Why is this rated so highly?


I've seen this film and it's crap. Why is it rated so highly on this board? Can someone please explain why people think this is better than RESIDENT EVIL, which is the best zombie movie ever? Also don't tell me crap about Romero becuase I hate those films too!!!!

reply

Resident Evil is a good movie, but to say its the best zombie movie, and Van Helsing is one of the best movies of all time, and saying Romero's movies are no good then your movie taste is horrable, these could be your favorite movies, but you cant say either of them are the best in any catagory. No offense.

The reason this film is better than Resident Evil (and what film isn't better than Resident Evil), is that it's clearly made by people who love movies. Not by some suits who are cashing in on the popularity of a video game they had neither the creativity or capability to think of themselves. Even though this film was probably made for the same amount of cash that they spent on food on one day on Resident Evil, it has more heart, more wit and more imagination. That's one reason.

reply

Well this movie isn't better than Resident Evil for starters! This proves my point! To make this film they needed more money, plain and simple. They didn't have it, so with all the good will in the world, it's CRAP.

If you don't have the money to do it properly, don't bother. Heart and wit count for sh#t in the real world!

reply

Oh my god. Are you mental? I've seen this film and it's good. Not amazing but hell a lot better than Resident Evil and the crap you consider to be good.

But then again... looking at your opinion's on other films you seem to lack any knowledge about movies at all. Your opinion is groundless and just laughable.

Yes I'm laughing. At you. For being an idiot. Resident Evil better than Dawn Of The Dead. Ha! My sides... they hurt.

Regardless of liking or hating this why do you have to be so full of hate and abuse. It comes across as the uneducated ramblings of a pre -teen.

Sorry but what ever you say, whatever you think popular opinion agrees with me and everyone else who defends these films (and the war for the record is of USA VS Iraq type preportions).

Carry on saying what you want, attacking the film makers or just being abusive. It just makes you look stupid. Thanks all.

reply

Dude, why the hell are you talking about the war. That's in poor taste man.

I'm glad you are able to laugh at your own ignorance! If you have seen this travesty then you know in your heart what you are saying is wrong. And that means it's you that looks stupid man.

This movie needed like, $200 million budget to be done right, and it obviously had only a fraction of that. You need money to make a movie. If you don't, then don't bother! There isn't a single example of a low-budget film that wouldn't be better if it had more money!

So, 'A' for effort 'F' for results!

reply

The thing that I don't get about your argument is that you are insinuating that more money = better movie. well if that's the case how do you explain supreme wastes of money such as Batman & Robin and the Island? Not to mention those appalling recent Star Wars films? Or the Matrix Sequels? Throwing more money at a film does not guarantee a better film.

reply

The Island? Bad Boys 2? Stealth? Titanic? Catwoman? Oh god the list of films with lots of money but no merit what so ever (and all dull as) goes on and on and on...

reply

The Island and Bad Boys 2 were great! What the heck have you got against quality productions? When I pay $ at the boxoffice I want to see something worthwhile, that's all!

The list of expensive crap may be long, but not half as long as the list of low-budget crap with 'no merit what so ever'!

Think on that!

reply

Yeah I did. For a second. Then laughed. Quality. Bad Boys 2.

Vit please tell me where you live... I want to travel over to the trailer park and buy you a drink for keeping me so well amused!

reply

Nice one mate!

With your ridiculous review of this film you have actually paid the makers the highest complement. You have compared it to the works of George Romero and John Carpenter.

I'm sure the director must be gutted!

reply

The director of this travesty SHOULD be gutted.

With a really big, rusty knife if possible

reply

right thats taking it way too far, your the one that should be *beep* gutted mate, your pathetic, you hate romeros zombie films, yet you like resident evil, wot mate seriously? romeros films - classic zombie films that turned the face of horror, resident evil - a basic piece of *beep* one of the worst game adaptions, EVER. i really cant uderstand why you have a personnal vendetta against good films like romeros films, and infestation, but arent you a lttle tired of practically everyone replying to your "this movie is *beep* and im entitled to my opinion" comments saying your completely wrong, because im gettin tired of you replying to everyone, basically just trying to insult them. ill say this for a second time, JUST GIVE UP.

reply

Whoa dude.

You are really sad and pathetic!

reply

ha, thats rich coming from you, whoose so sad that he has to come here to diss this film, which i have nothing against, as its your opinion, and your fully entitled to it, bt if anyone has a different opinion to your ' this film is *beep* and edd evers should die opinion , you tell them that its a wrong opinion,o r that their opinion doesnt matter, seems your the sad and pathetic one,as its not just you thats entitled to your opinion, everyone is, oh and dont call me dude.

reply

sorry vitriolcritic, you're the one who's sad and pathetic. you're getting downright silly with your comments now. i love me some resident evil. its my fav "zombie" movie, tho its not just a zombie movie, its way more than that so i dont really like comparing it to stuff like dawn of the dead. (**cant wait for the third RE**)

anyway, sounds like some people dig this movie. i dunno...i may check it out.

reply

DO NOT CHECK IT OUT!!!

I have warned countless people on this web-site to AVOID this movie at all costs!!!! HEED MY WARNING DUDE!

reply

actually you should check it out some time!

just look through the comments, i think youl find some pretty good reviews here, if you look, of course, just ignore the comments left by vitriolcritic, because most of the time he doesnt even slate the film, but the people that actually like it, its worth a watch, if you ever stumble accross it that is, its pretty hard to find.

as for vitriol, the fact that you slate directors like john carpenter and geaorge a romero, and prefer films like bad boys 2, and resident evil, well i dont even have to finish what im saying do i, the fact that your slating some of horrors most influential, and best directors, is enough, but then to say that bad boys 2, and resident evil are some of the best movies out there, well its taking it a little to far,

seems your the one with no taste in films, bellend.

reply

"I have warned countless people on this web-site to AVOID this movie at all costs!!!! HEED MY WARNING DUDE!"

Yeah, but you rate Resident Evil much higher than Army of Darkness or the original Dawn of the Dead, so whatever you suggest, I'm pretty much going to do the opposite.


Cthulhu for President in 2008!
Why vote for a lesser evil?

reply

well then your opinion means *beep* all then dont it. Resident Evil sucks ass, and the residetn evil games are my favourite games bu the film licks man crack. the romero films are classic.

reply

Wow heated argument to be honest i think this movie sucks has 1 or 2 decent parts but like somebody mentioned before way to small a budget to make a film like this and some of the dialogue is awful budget makes no difference to script so theres no excuses for this guys The early fight scenes are good but then for some reason when Loki goes off on his own to find the ship it almost falls into comedy witha zombie taking his glasses off that was bad. decent story though ill give it that but not pulled off maybe id give the director another chance though if he can get a budget.

Finally to the guy who calls Romeros stuff rubbish you should not be watching zombie movies if you dont like Romero dont get me wrong i also like the resident evil films but Romero rules.
