10 Truly Terrible Movies That Fanboys Insist Are Awesome
8. Resident Evil
Compared to the rest of Paul W.S. Andersons filmography, the first Resident Evil film is a gem. Hell, its even better than the majority of video game adaptations, which are generally awful. However, Id argue that doesnt make it a good or even wholly competent movie; rather, it just happens to be less terrible than most. Resident Evil is blandly generic, forgettable, and devoid of anything resembling depth or intriguing characterization, yet theyre still pumping out sequels every few years. Can it please stop? In the interest of full disclosure, I havent played any of the Resident Evil video games for a great length of time. But also, none of the films in this series ever convinced me I needed to. If the games are as awesome as Im told they are, then why keep sullying them with unnecessary sequels that fail to expand their narratives in an interesting way? Oh yeah, because they keep making money.
