Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City

It is less stupid than the previous movies, but that doesn't make it a great movie. It does lean into the characters established by the video games, and I'm not sure that that's a particularly good thing. It's well acted and it has lovely effect work, but it isn't a fantastic movie and certainly not one of the better zombie movies out there.

50/100 I love all the films in the original movie franchise so I was looking forward to this one. This is a reboot that is supposed to follow the first two installments of the video games much more closely ...to its detriment, me thinks. It could have been a great film as it has some really good bones but many of them were broken with some awfully ludicrous decisions; the Police Chief's behavior was totally ridiculous and entirely unnecessary, some other characters were just bland extras, action was dark and weak and it wasn't well scripted. Cool mutants. Marginally entertaining. - DrNostromo.com

Not bad, first one without Alice though. Racoon city now has since been destroyed now. They start to find out what's underneath the city.

The director’s love for the games is apparent, but too many poor decisions ruined what could have been the best and most faithful Resident Evil yet. Welcome to Raccoon City marks the first live-action Resident Evil adaptation to stick close to the original games in story and feel. Character costumes looked like they were plucked right from the games. Sets and locations were identical to levels I spent hours playing. Easter eggs and nods throughout the film celebrated hardcore fans. Unfortunately, its flaws overshadow its victories. An overcrowded story with too many characters prevented developing the characters or making the story have any real impact. Forcing two full game stories into an hour and 47-minute run time had consequences. I enjoyed the movie’s attention to the slow descent from human to zombie, which showed the dread and hopelessness as the victims felt their humanity...
