10 Video Game Movies That Made ONE Huge Mistake

10. Ruining Nemesis - Resident Evil: Apocalypse

Pretty much all the excitement surrounding Resident Evil: Apocalypse was centred around the appearance of the series' fan-favourite antagonist Nemesis, as was teased at the end of the first movie.

But in a true "be careful what you wish for" outcome, Apocalypse ended up turning Nemesis into a pure laughing stock, enough that many fans ultimately wished the filmmakers never bothered trying.

Even if you can forgive how ludicrously cheap Nemesis' makeup, costume, and visual effects look, the film commits the unforgivable sin of turning the big guy into a weak twerp.

He's defeated by Alice (Milla Jovovich) in a fistfight, and then has a strange late-film face-turn where he gets himself killed while protecting her from Umbrella forces.

Even knowing that this version of Nemesis is Alice's former ally Matt (Eric Mabius), it all adds up to an embarrassing character assassination that undermines whatever good the movie was doing elsewhere. Just... no.
