Milla Jovovich tweets about the new Resident Evil movie photo

For you, the people of Destructoid, I have done a great service. I have waded through Milla Jovovich's Twitter feed and found some information about the next Resident Evil movie. It wasn't all bad. Milla's pretty funny, and she's really good to her fans. That said, if I never read another "Thx 4 the kind wrds about my hot ass lol" tweet again, it will be too soon.

So here's the news. There is word that some of the movie will be shot in Tokyo. To be more specific, Milla says, "i LOVE tokyo! 1 of my FAVORITE cities in the world! we're gonna come film some scens 4 the nxt RE in tokyo!!!". There is also word on what the movie might be called -- "no, its not called"begins"lol! it"began" 10 yrs ago! lol! i think its called RE: Retribution, but i have to ask paul 2 b sure."

Like most fan art, the second and third Resident Evil movies were so bad that they came full circle back to good again. Still, I'm yet to bother with the fourth one, so I guess I didn't think they were that bad/good.

How about you guys? You into the Resident Evil movies? Don't pretend that you aren't. Some of you must be watching these things, or else they wouldn't keep making them.

If I turn off the fanboy portion of my brain they're not half bad movies. I've enjoyed all of them.

I only seen the first 2, and they were on cable. I liked the first one, because of Alice jumping off a wall and kicking a Cerberus dog.

I watch them for sake of watching a video game based movie but I've pretty much lost any hope of them being truthful to the series in general. At the very least, they're not nearly as bad as the Alone in the Dark movies. XD

I think the average movie goer is just easily pleased. Everytime my friends see a trailer for a resident evil movie, they always get excited. This is a market though that will spend billions of dollars to see a movie that they already heard was bad from every available source.

i loved them!!! maybe because i am a RE fanboy!!!!! or maybe because i am a milla jovovich fanboy!!! still i loved them all... and i don't know why everyone wanted them to be true to the games!!!!
i mean i played all RE games 3 times each atleast!! so i pretty much memorized the whole thing, if the movies were the exact same:
A- it won't matter to new comers of the franchise (only seen movies)
B- fans will already know what is going to happen by the letter!!! (not fun)

I saw some the first one due to the fact that the producer worked on the first Mortal Kombat movie, which I loved. When it was over, I asked the guy at the ticket counter for my money back, the first time(and only time, I might add) I ever did that. I never got my money back, and I avoided them ever since.

actually i kinda wish the RE4/RE5 gameplay were made for the RE Movies. with Alice being the lead character with new characters enemies and bosses while RE4 and RE5 stayed true to the oiginal RE games(including 0 and code veronica)

haven't watched the movie after the 2nd one. Milla is hot but that's not enough for the movie to justify the series.

I find it hard to believe that the woman who acts as the main character in the movie types like that. She sounds like the the girls in my facebook friends list getting all giddy about a status that has them tagged in it.

As cheesy movies unrelated to Resident Evil, I don't mind them. They're campy fun, combining just the right level of cheese and action to make them entertaining.

As Resident Evil movies, I want to convince Paul W.S. Anderson and Mila Jovavic to take a fucking step back and just work on something else. Let the license lapse and let another studio try something. These movies are getting in the way of a real-life, relatively faithful adaption. Or hell, a live-action supplementary movie (ala Degeneration). Anything but what they've done.

After Nemesis cried during the last scene of the second Resident Evil movie I decided I would never torture myself by trying to endure another. I can take the terrible voice acting and direction of the games, but at least the gameplay used to make up for it. It didn't matter how many times that you heard Barry say anything about Jill being the "Master" of anything because the gameplay could always make up for it. The movies never make up for any of the bad acting or plot holes that pop up so much that I wouldn't be surprised if the entire script was written during some large alcohol induced orgy.

I watched the first because "OMG Resident Evil!1!11!!! :D" and watched the third just because I went with a group of friends to the movies and the rest looked crappy or we weren't interested. It was a big "meh" for me so I wasn't interested in the fourth one. They good if there's nothing to watch or for some mindless fun, though.

If you try not to associate them with the games in any way whatsoever, they're pretty good movies. I'd say on par with the best syfy originals.

I saw the first one on DVD and then parts of the third one when it was on cable. I remember there being Milla's boobs in the first one. That's about it. Maybe some zombies too. I'll pass on this latest iteration.

Those movies are horrible. The last decent one was the 1st one. The rest are complete poo.

I liked how in the most recent one ($1.50 redbox rental and I still feel jipped) apocalypse, rearmed, underworld, reloaded, revolutions, whatever the fuck it was called....

Tits McGillicutty used one barrel of a double barreled shotgun on the chin of an axeguy while sliding between his legs, fairly close range, less than a 2 feet away from its chin. He shruggs that shit off like its nothing.

But Tits McGillicutty 2.0 uses the same weapon, second barrel from across the room and his head literally explodes.

I had to cry out after seeing that "WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!"

So shotguns become MORE effective at RANGE?

WUT!?!?!

Anderson is a hack and he keeps making these movies cause Tits McGillicutty 2.0 is pretty but a shitty actress. Would you tell YOUR wife "honey look, you suck ass at acting so im gonna cast someone else in this movie"

I love these movies. They are so much fun, and so stupid at the same time. The fourth actually has a fairly accurate Wesker. He's hilarious, O.T.T and indestructable, just like the game

Take Gravityboots000's comment and you've got my exact stance on the last two RE games and the two upcoming ones.

I like the films. They're dumb, but zombie action flicks should be dumb. The only Romero zombie film that isn't retarded is the original Night Of and even that was painfully low-budget and very badly shot and acted. And don't get me started on that 28 Days pap. I don't consider "X was shit so it's okay for Y to be shit as well" to be good justification but at the least it is wrong to single out one franchise as if there are any better ones out there. Resident Evil is simply one of many popcorn trash series.

Also, <3 Milla. Yes, she tweets like a 15-year-old school girl, but she's quite funny. Damn good singer too, look up her EPs. Rather wish she'd give up acting and stick to singing, that's her strength.

There's something to be said for grabbing a case or a bottle of whatever and marathoning your way through a terrible movie series.

I recently did just that with this series and way more Big Flats beer than any one human should ever drink.

Fucking awful movies and fucking awful beer...I had a wonderful time.

I like 'em. Each subsequent movie has been more over-the-top, and I hope it keeps going in that direction. Plus, I can't wait to see Milla and Sienna Guillory throw down!

I liked all of them for what they were mindless Zombie fun!

The first one i acually thought was really good,and the last one had some very decent 3D effects.

I also like how they all feel a bit different, and they like in the games mix it up with the iconic Resi characters.

So yeah i'm pretty exited about a new Resident Evil movie.

JILL VALENTINE!!!

Milla is a very hot woman and a hell of a model but she's a terrible, terrible actress. The whole Alice character is something I'll never understand and it looks more to be the director's excuse to get into Milla's pants (which he did, BTW)

My wife bought a copy of the newest RE movie for use with our 3D TV. The 3D is cool when it's used, which isn't the whole time, but the movie itself is just awful. I confess to enjoying it for the zombies and all the laughs I had, both at the movie and at my wife getting scared.

It was worth the 30 bucks for the 3D blu-ray copy for us. But it's still a terrible movie and if you're the stuffy elitist type who only watches art films or awards contenders you probably will have felt like you've wasted hours of your life with it.

I never understand why people hate on movies based on games. Yeah some of them dont follow the source material very well (or seem to take a steaming turd on it in some cases) but it seems to me like a lot of people i hear commenting on them feel really hurt by them. Ok, so some are not the best acted, directed or shot but hell, all of the RE films were fun to watch. I think some people just have too much expectation when they go to these films. Like someone else pointed out, would we really want a scene for scene, real life adaptation of a game some of us have played and completed? Really?

There's not much left they can fuck up at this point (maybe). I wish they would do a reboot to be more like the games.

Honestly, the first one was pretty good, assuming you're able to accept that it was never going to follow the plot of the game exactly. If you forget the title, its just a pretty decent survival movie with some RE flair (because let's be fair, its not about the zombies, it's about Red Queen, Umbrella and the Licker. Also lasers).

Similarly, the second one did horrible things to the plot of Nemesis, but actually followed on from the first film rather nicely. The thirs one was just disgusting though. So bad in fact, that they effectively retconned it within the first 10 minutes of Afterlife (SPOILERS) by killing off all the Alice clones and taking away her ridiculous telekinesis.

After that, Afterlife was a pretty decent love letter to RE5, up to and including the Executioner, Majini-type zombies and Uber-Wesker. Also, after becoming trapped in a PRISON, Wentworth Miller (Chris Redfield) is the only one who knows how to BREAK out. Comedy Gold, or something.

The first one is the only one that i could call Resident Evil. You still can put it in the mythology of RE. But all others should be called something else, as they just became more and more distant from the games.

I'm still amazed people take the Resident Evil mythos so seriously as to be offended by the movies. Then again, everyone loves the most boring, generic characters in RE as well.

No Ada Wong in RE: Mercenaries and I'm still the only one complaining about it >.>
