Possibly one of the worst depictions of a franchise in the history of film, I am probably one of the biggest fans of this franchise but this is where I draw the line.

What they did was take my hopes that they could make a better one this late in the process and yet once again they raped the series of any dignity it might have had, harsh? Watch it and you'll agree.

David Boreanez had a breakout eccentric bad guy role that fit him and was basically the only redeemable quality.

This is coming from me, some who likes Resident Evil. I never thought I’d say this but I’m very disappointed in the direction they took the series. Once they left the big city and went to the wild west I was waiting for Will Smith to jump out… but I’ll be waiting for ever.

The story is non existent, in the first act all you know is Ed Furlong is the main character and this girl will die because she loves him. I’m confused because you find out Edward’s character is a convict but not in the first act. You find out him and David’s character were friends but you find out so late you just don’t care.

Tara Reid is actually quite solid as David’s evil girlfriend… this is her perfect role.

Ed Furlong’s Crow make-up was terribly done, his acting was lame and stereotypical… This guy’s had no career for a long time and it shows (F—king drug addict, stay away from films)

He says “Quote the raven nevermore, motherf—ker” and a Crow is not a Raven so bad dialogue bad dialogue.

I will still eventually buy the DVD because I enjoy listening to James O’ Barr dig himself in a bigger hole with his explanations.

So in conclusion let us just say avoid this at all costs unless you don’t believe me, the guy who rarely hates a film.

David Boreanez could be a reason to pick it up because like I said he’s stellar from what he was given, he deserves an Oscar for even being in this “FILM”
