9 Movie Heroes Who Stupidly Turned Evil For The Sequel

9. Jill Valentine - Resident Evil: Retribution

Hardcore fans of the Resident Evil series aren’t big fond of the movies, and can hardly blame them given the huge liberties they take with the story and characters. While Paul W.S. Anderson might know how to make the movie’s look slick and glossy, he couldn’t write a decent script if his life depended on it, which he proved beyond a doubt with the fifth movie, Retribution.

Sure the action was fun, but it had a non-existent story and calling the characters thinly sketched is an insult to thin sketches. The movie brought back a bunch of deceased characters from earlier movies – for no real purpose in terms of the narrative – and series heroine Jill Valentine also returned, only, this time, she was a brainwashed Umbrella assassin.

This twist happened in the fifth game too, where it at least made some kind of sense, but here it’s really just an excuse to get the actress in a skin-tight leather outfit and have her fight Milla Jovovich. Then she becomes good again, everybody is happy and fans of the game start cursing at the screen in a frothing rage.
