W.S. Anderson needs to stop, and the Resident Evil films need a reboot

Okay, I'm going start this off by saying that W.S. Anderson has no talent as a director, producer, or whatever the hell he does. All of his movies are terrible and whenever I see the name W.S Anderson I just cringe knowing that it is going to be an all out disater and waste of my time. He is Quentin Tartantino, minus the fortune, fame and talent and he needs to find a new career, maybe as a clown entertaining children at birthday parties or something similar because he definitely has no business in the film industry.

There are many examples of this, but my first is the film Aliens Vs. Predator which had a decent cast, but with a laughable dialogue and a stupid and poorly wrtiten story the film was trash, but hey it wasn't nearly as bad as the second (which Anderson had nothing to do with) and anyone who liked the second please stick your head in a microwave. "People are dying, we need guns." Is probably up in the top ten of worse lines ever in a movie.

Now lets get back on topic because at this point you should realize and somewhat agree that W.S. Anderson is lacking in many areas and again has no business in the film industy, yet Capcom gives him rights to make a film series "loosely" based off their award-winning, highly acclaimed video game franchise; Resident Evil. I am a huge Resident Evil fan, I love the games, but these terrible movies really don't have anything to do with Resident Evil except for there are zombies, creatures and an evil company named Umbrella. I tried to like to first film, but lets face it, it was bad. The second, was even worse. The third, was again bad. I haven't seen the fourth because I couldn't even bare to watch it. Recently I saw this clip on youtube of the 4th film: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ROsNamLVqk and honestly it was so bad that I couldn't even finish the clip. I angerily commented on the clip and what makes it worse is that people love it and they go "Hey don't talk trash on these movies because they are awesome!" WHAT?! Did I miss something? Are people now donating brain cells in addition to blood? They must be because the Resident Film franchise is probably up there in the worst movie franchises of all time.

Anyways, bottom line they are terrible and if you disagree you must be souless or severely lacking in moral integreity or intelligent thought because they are sub-par action movies with zombies at best. We need a real director who can actually make a film adaption of the Resident Evil series and not butcher it to the point that it is an unrecognizable pile of crap where nothing makes sense. And shame on you Capcom for letting this moron butcher your baby, you should sue him for everything he is worth!

He won't stop making films.

You know why? Money.

Event Horizon was a pretty good film.

He put his girlfriend in the lead role and watches her run around in spandex and short shorts

reboot to what??? ...I always wonder what people are expecting from a video game that has a weak plot and terrible acting alreadyrawsavon

What games are you playing? Paper Mario?

There are games that have great stories all of the time and great voice acting. I don't know why a film adaptation needs to suffer.

You were almost a rawsavon sandwhich!

The first three Resident Evil games didn't have good voice acting and they were often made fun of due to their voice acting, but they had great plots. How can you say that the plots weren't any good?

Oh he can make good films, but he doesnt have to. The fact is the Resident Evil films make money so there is no way he will change the formula.

I don't see whats so bad about the line "People are dying, we need guns."

Also none of the resident evil games had good plots. They were all super bad with a lot of plot holes. Resident evil 4 does a pretty good job, but thats because it doesn't seem to take itself as seriously as the other RE games.

It's not the shabby b-movie style plot which makes the Resident Evil films bad, it's the direction, the writing...pretty much everything. It's stupid. Just a bunch of killing except without any creativity which leaves it feeling bland. To me it feels like it's made for 12 year olds who would enjoy it, but the problem is that a 12 year old isn't supposed to be watching the films.

Kind of like Freddy Got Fingered. Far too immature for a mature film.

He won't stop making films.

Event Horizon was a pretty good film.

Just-Breathe

And Event Horizon was average at best. Anderson wrote and directed the RE films, but he didn't write Event Horizon he just directed it so maybe thats why its just average instead of terrible.

If you honestly don't see anything wrong with that line or how it was delivered then Im afriad you fall on the brain cell donation category. All of the games had good plots, you always wanted to know how this happened and why. One of my favorite features in the RE games was reading diaries and finding out what was going on.

Um....so how is he at all like Tarantino? This sentence makes no sense.

I don't have a problem with the movies because I treat them as a seperate thing to the games (also I've never played the games). Sure they're dumb but it's Hollywood most things are dumb.

I don't mind the resident evil movies, one thing though is that it's starting to feel, Especially in the latest movie, That the zombies are becoming nothing but an ambient feature and it is becoming too focused on super zombies or super villains. It feels like it's 1 step off becoming a zombie themed super hero movie.

lol I think I know what comment you posted on the video. Anyways notice in the movie clip she does a back flip and ends up on the other side of the room?

At least the Resident Evil films are tolerable and entertaining. I'm not saying they're great, but they're much better compared to other films based off of video game franchises.

I had no idea he was directing the new Three Musketeers movie. I actually wanted to see it...until now. >_>

I hate how W.S. Anderson called himself the resident evil series' number one fan... when clearly he has no other intent but to butcher it! His films suck and they should never make another Resident Evil movie again.

Dear god the RE movies were horrible. He is like Uwe Bowl except worse; they actually give him lots of movies to do. Now he is the one who is going to make the next Silent Hill movie...And its in 3D! :cry:

mattisgod01

Agreed.

They're also good movies if you just want to switch off for about 90 minutes or so,

His movies make money.

He's been doing movies for decades, and is still managing to make a successful career off of it. His take on the Resident Evil series resulted in how many movies? Four? Five? Meaning that at least three times, someone greenlit a movie largely on the basis of how succesful W.S. Anderson's previous movies did.

So...why does he need to stop, when he clearly has made a successful career out of directing movies, and when his movies have so often been undeniably successful enough to warrant greenlighting sequels?

Im afriad you fall on the brain cell donation category.

T_REX305

haha Its the latest one I think. It just made me mad because it was a terrible and predictable scene with bad music and terrible direction and dumbasses were saying it was an awesome scene and greatest series ever. I was stupified.

I've been wanting a reboot of the franchise for years.... but Anderson just continues his crap version all for the sake of keeping his wife working. :cry:

They should just stop making RE movies.

Just make a proper zombie movie.

I thought the first one was great, second one was downright putrid, and the third and fourth were both good. Don't have much of a problem with Anderson. He's made some real garbage, but he's turned out some good stuff over the years as well.

@_@ WHAT???

Everything he makes is trash.

Reboots also need to stop.MushroomWig

The whole problem with the series of movies is that they never once stuck to a specific game, and instead mixed and matched parts of each game into the seperate movie scripts. I mean ideally why not use the basic storyline for the first game as the story for the first film, just flesh it out a little, then 2 could have been a continuation of Jill Valentines's story (Resident Evil 3: Nemesis), 3rd movie Resident Evil 2 (telling the story of Claire and Leon), 4th movie (Resident Evil: Code Veronica) continuing Claire's story, and then done the 5th as RE4 (continuing Leon's story), sure even if it never had the same characters in consecutive movies fans would understand because then at least the films had staid true to the story and timeline (a little) of the game.

Mr. Anderson

You disappoint me.

Haha exactly. Well there may be hope because I guess there may be a reboot to the series because supposedly there is a movie coming out that is still a ways off called Resident Evil: Begins. Could be a possible reboot and has to be better than the crap that Anderson makes.

I just forced myself to watch Afterlife... WTF! It randomly puts parts from RE 5 in there (like the Axe man) for no reason haha

A tad bit on the old side, dontcha think?

Please don't bump old threads. If you wanna make a new thread on the Resident Evil movies, feel free.
