10 Iconic Characters Without A Single Great Movie

4. Alice

The Resident Evil franchise is the worst example of what is wrong with way too many blockbusters these days: they deliver to fans in terms of service to established lore and characters and trade on a recognisable brand, but they never justify their own existence by being any good at all.

Still, there's a reason fans still went out to the cinema to see those movies and indeed why gamers committed to new Resident Evil games even after they'd suffered multiple disappointments: it's the strength the characters and the ideas behind the franchises. And Alice - played with vague interest by Milla Jovovich in the movies - is a great character. She's Ellen Ripley in a zombie apocalypse, Rick Grimes with more of a bad-ass edge, Lara Croft shredded to her last nerve.

It's just a shame that none of the movies she's been in have quite matched up to her appeal as a character. In all honesty, none have even come close.
