  • Resident Evil: The Final Chapter best be the final chapter, I swear to God. Alice goes back to Raccoon City, back to the Hive to stop Umbrella and save the world. Done. That's it. No more. I've had it up to here *raises up arm* with zombies, clones, Paul W.S. Anderson, bad visual effects, ridiculous creatures that make no sense, Umbrella, Paul W.S. Anderson, T-Virus, antivirus, Las Plagas virus, Paul W.S. Anderson's mother's virus and lifeless supporting characters. Six films Anderson has milked out of one video game adaptation...six!? Yet we stupidly watch them at the cinema and buy the blurays like zombies being attracted to human flesh. We fuelled this! This is the worst of the bunch by far. It makes 'Retribution' look like a flipping entertainment masterpiece. The editing was atrocious, more quick cuts than Anderson shouting "Milla, babe...could you do another forward flip for me? Thanks Hun!". I literally could not focus on the action sequences, my eyes were spiralling out of control. The most undeveloped bunch of supporting characters of the series. Claire Redfield was underused. Wesker was substituted to be simply a pawn. He is supposed to be the main antagonist!? You can't just throw him away like a wet towel soaking in Anderson's sweat from all the hard work writing the script!? No! Nooo! I won't have it!! Then all of this business about the antivirus (which has taken us six films to discover), more clones just to bring back Dr Isaacs into the fray, a second act that imitated 'Saw' and weird flying enormous bat things!? Are you telling me Umbrella was testing on bats!? BATS!? What even is that! I'm done. I can't take it anymore. Six films people, six...flipping...films. This was underwhelming to the maximum, but atleast Milla Jovovich was having fun right? That's obviously the main thing because now my life is complete knowing she was having fun. Life. Complete. This franchise...it's killed me, honestly. I swear to God if we get "Resident Evil: Resurrection" in a few years, I will find you Anderson...
