How, it's a completely different cannon? It doesn't ruin it...We who are used to the alternative just see it as two different...i hate it when a movie stated "it's an adaptation/based on the games/manga", etc.
these kind of movies always ruin it, like The King of Fighters and Dragon Ball: Evolution. they ruining the image of the successful media from Japan.
the only thing that i see the closest adaptation from the game was Silent Hill, even though it's not the exact same main character (in the game it should be Harry Mason/Christopher Da Silva but in the movie, it was his wife) but the story driven were quite similar, also added few popular creatures like Pyramid Head, etc.
What we really need is for Capcom to say enough is enough, and to stop the franchise after the film that will be out later in the year, wait a couple of years, and then start again, keep the films relative to the actual games, no clones of characters never seen in the game before, no characters appearing then disappearing then reappearing between films withpout explanation.
Well Paul WS Anderson is using the 'Resident Evil' name to bring his 'strong-wife-with-big-guns-and-knives fetish' to big screen (whether fans of the movies accept that or not, it's true. Just look at his 3 musketeers movie)
I bet most of the fans wouldn't even look the direction of these movies, if they didn't have the Resident Evil name on them.
for something like The Amazing Spider-Man and Ultimate Spider-Man being totally two different universe, at least it's still have it's main core, only tweaks few things.How, it's a completely different cannon? It doesn't ruin it...We who are used to the alternative just see it as two different...
But to me these people are ignorant then...There isn't just ONE cannon or ONE true story...Different people will have their own opinions on what the story is/should be about...I mean...If it ruins it for you then it's jus because you're stubborn and set in your ways and can't realize that it's ok for others to have ideas about how something should be created or turn out that differ from yours...As a die-hard Spider-Man fan, I LOVED he movies, granted, thought Toby Maguire did a poor Peter Parker, but that doesn't stop me from really being able to appriciate the movies in the loads of other things that we very well exicuted...For example, Topher Grace as Eddie Brock...VERY odd move because in the comics Eddie Brock was a big ripped dude with anger issues...In the movies, he was just a small little weasle...And even though it was different, it was very well done...for something like The Amazing Spider-Man and Ultimate Spider-Man being totally two different universe, at least it's still have it's main core, only tweaks few things.
but for something like Resident Evil (Hollywood Movies) and Resident Evil (Game) that are nothing alike. it's just ruin from the story telling to the character development.
everyone has their own interest of something, for example, if they watched the Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy, and they like it. some of them might just stop there with the trilogy but others try to look out for other Spider-Man stuff, when they started to read the comics, they know that the trilogy were completely different and messed up the lore. they like the comic better.
same thing for Resident Evil, not everyone like to play the games, probably when they see the movie, they try to play the game, and they notice how different it is, they know which one are better.
Resident Evil started off from video game, so the v'games fans know which is good, which is bad. if they say it's bad, then it's bad. this is just a classic case of the General Audience vs the Informed Audience, The fans. If a fan of an adaptation says that a movie is more accurate to the original source material, the General Audience have no valid argument of why it is not.
i just know i hate the movies for their ****ty acting, goofy action scenes, and less than creative sets. i understand what youre saying though. for a game adaption they at least did a good job trying something different with the characters/monsters. i HATE when game adaptions use almost the same story in the movies as the games. why wouldnt i just play the game instead of watching a ****ty movie if the story is 90% the same?But to me these people are ignorant then...There isn't just ONE cannon or ONE true story...Different people will have their own opinions on what the story is/should be about...I mean...If it ruins it for you then it's jus because you're stubborn and set in your ways and can't realize that it's ok for others to have ideas about how something should be created or turn out that differ from yours...As a die-hard Spider-Man fan, I LOVED he movies, granted, thought Toby Maguire did a poor Peter Parker, but that doesn't stop me from really being able to appriciate the movies in the loads of other things that we very well exicuted...For example, Topher Grace as Eddie Brock...VERY odd move because in the comics Eddie Brock was a big ripped dude with anger issues...In the movies, he was just a small little weasle...And even though it was different, it was very well done...
RE is no different...You should be able to appreicate it because even if you don't like it, you have to give it props for what it does right...And the movie franchise does PLENTY right...It just also screws up a bunch...But since it's BASED off the games, and not an exact replica of them...I'd say they do a good job...Just like when a movie is BASED on a true story...All that's really the same is the VERY loose plot, and the characters names...
And those reasons are GOOD reasons to hate the movie...As an actor, I can't stand a lot of the acting in the RE movies...But you're looking at it as a movie critic instead of a fan of the games...That's how it SHOULD be looked at...i just know i hate the movies for their ****ty acting, goofy action scenes, and less than creative sets. i understand what youre saying though. for a game adaption they at least did a good job trying something different with the characters/monsters. i HATE when game adaptions use almost the same story in the movies as the games. why wouldnt i just play the game instead of watching a ****ty movie if the story is 90% the same?
that is what i just said, this is just a classic case of the General Audience vs the Informed Audience (the fans). even from the view of General Audience, the RE movies are considered as C grade zombie film cuz there are so much more better zombie films than the RE's. even from the view of the Informed Audience, it's just bad considering how Anderson just making her wife as the center of the whole film, by replacing the main character's with her. it's like everything revolves around her.But you're looking at it as a movie critic instead of a fan of the games...That's how it SHOULD be looked at...
You be leading a legacy my friemdSCREW THAT! IT'S NOT HAPPENING!! SHE HAS NO PLACE IN RE GAMES! THAT'S THE ONE THING THAT WILL COMPLETELY TURN ME OFF TO RE!! WHO'S WITH ME!!
they dont need to make a MGS movie cause the games are already like half movie/half game. thats why i like the series so much, kojima blends the action and story together perfectly. in fact i hope they NEVER make a movie based on MGS haha.it's basically one of the reason why Kojima actually doesn't want his Metal Gear Solid being made into film adaptation. but the Hollywood is just willingly to pay to create the film. even up until now, Konami keeps delay and delay the film release, they just concern that the entire Metal Gear franchise could be seriously affected if a movie version performed poorly.

if they want to make a movie that based on a game, comic, etc. at least do it properly, Gantz movie being one of the good adaptation, even though the ending wasn't really the same since the manga still continue during that time. even Space Battleship Yamato done a really good job for their long-time fans.
how do you really feel if you create something, and someone want to make a movie based on your idea, and the movie end up spitting on your own stuff. that's just how Akira Toriyama felt when 20th Century Fox did with DragonBall Evolution, he even barely said a word for that movie.

between comic, game and movie. movie have more solid stand point, basically cuz it's more to public/general audience, from old to young people can watch the movie, it's release all over the world. but for a game or comic, not everyone play the game or read the comic.
