I'm not going to spoil the one thing that kinda made me chuckle, but suffice it to say, my very brief thoughts on the whole thing:

As painfully mediocre and horribly directed as RE1 was, at least it held my attention from beginning to end. RE2 can't even claim that, it lacks the focus - and oh God, I can't believe I just said that - of the first. There are characters with no real purpose, Anderson still can't seem to stop jerking off to segues involving CG maps, security cameras, or a little bit of both, and they managed to find actors worse than the ones in the original movie.

About the only reasonably decent thing this movie did is start off parallel to the end of the first movie, so you get to see those events from a different perspective. Well, some of them, it's a damned shame they don't really show the zombies getting out of the hive, they just kinda cut to mayhem.

I should've waited for HBO or something.

I agree. The actors in RE:A felt completly useless.

One of the worst movies I have ever seen in my life.

I think my brain actually left my head and walked out of the theater when Nemesis falls for Alice again and fights with the good guys. Oh god, the stupidity.

You mean it's inconceivable that he(Max) remembers her... and that he(Max) understands the conversation where it's basically said he's a cast off to be thrown aside and forgotten? (not trying to defend the movie, just trying to poke some holes in your dissention).

The concept in and of itself is not inconcievable, the execution was.

That's "Matt."

This ranks up there with Virus as one of the worst movies I've ever seen in the theater. Absolutely horrible, although, the token black guy from the Friday movies was actually funny.

What is with the corpses in the graveyard and the scientist becoming zombies? They were never bitten. This isn't Night of the Living Dead where it's some space anomally causing the dead to rise. This is a virus that is spread through being bitten or having the virus injected into you. I just thought that part was very lame.

Sho Nuff, what was yor name on the old GAF?

The T-virus reanimates dead cells by regenerating them. Kept in check with an anti-virus, the T-virus can regenerate things like legs that have no motor-function anymore. So, it's entirely feasible that corpses can be reanimated from it (it's an infection that can be gained through open wounds but biting is the primary method). You also have to realize that it uses some RE game lore and the infection was spread through means such as Rats as well =P.

One more thing I did like about the movie was it was like watching RE3: Nemesis in live-action. Running around and blowing the shit out of tons and tons of zombies without much survival horror. I just wish there was a cheesy closing line like "S.T.A.R.S.? I'll give you STARS!"

Personally, my favorite part of the film was at the end when they

recreated the Code Veronica opening. From the time the helicopter started shooting, I was telling my friend shot for shot what would happen next.

"Now we'll go inside the helicopter, then she'll run into guards. She'll drop her gun and shoot gas tanks. *scene plays out* Or the guards, close enough."
