Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Adam Post *****I would actually give this a 6.25 (I gave Afterlife a 6.0) but IMDb won't let me!***** If you read my review for RE: Afterlife, you'll recall i said the movie continued off of the previous BUT only for the opening scene; same with this one! The opening scene of this one was a more fleshed-out version of the scene where Umbrella osprey-looking ships come to the "Arcadia" (only difference now, is it shows Alice and the gang ATTEMPT to fight them off.Then, Alice wakes up back in Raccoon city and dies trying to escape. You find out there are still Alice clones and places like Raccoon City (2'nd movie), Tokyo (4'th movie) and the Mansion (1'st movie) are all simulations. These simulations, and clones make it really hard to tell what's real and what isn't throughout the course of the movie. All in all it just comes across as really confusing. I'd say it was a better story than the previous movie, just executed poorly (hence the .25 better score).The end of the movie pretty much makes sense; solid enough to not make more if it bombs too bad, but open enough for a sequel if possible (which luckily there was...and it was AMAZING!) FINAL VERDICT: Like I said, the idea for the story was good and definitely better than RE: Afterlife, but it could've been a LOT better! ON THE BRIGHT SIDE: RESIDENT EVIL: THE FINAL CHAPTER!

manjodude The only reason I saw RE: Retribution is because I have watched the 3 previously made ones and so why not catch up with the rest. I'm glad I saw this at home on my computer than in theatre. It was what I expected anyway - an escapist movie with enough Milla Jovovich action to last my coffee & popcorn. If I were in a theatre, I'd have had huge expectations and left possibly annoyed. But at home, it's just a way to relax and be entertained for a while - which Retribution did. Decent visual effects, fair amount of kicks & shoot outs and also I get to see my favs, Milla(still gorgeous) & Michelle Rodriguez(lovely). Michelle, no doubt, got a poor role but I'm glad I gotta see her anyway.If you wanna see it, just relax, forget logic and yes, grab something to bite! It isn't bad especially when you have your drink or coffee around and a bag of chips -p

willcundallreview It's just like come on every time with this film series, it never ever improves and yet again this movie is a step down from the last outing. We see again a movie full of action, easy to follow yes but fun, my word no, this is awful and that is not a word I have had to previously use on the franchise before. We see this time Alice (Milla Jovovich) fighting yet again, things pick up from where the last film left off, down to the second actually and from then on we see a mass adventure that goes nowhere and only provides glimpses of some decent action choreography that just doesn't mean anything among all the terrible lines spewed out. The man behind this all is Paul W. S. Anderson who is a producer on this film as well as the director and writer, and oh how he screws this one up, a movie I feel just didn't need to be made, or actually, just made well!Jovovich is typical in her role as Alice and for those who have come to get used to her acting it is same old, really though I do feel the writing makes her feel worse as an actor though. This movie is obsessed with throwing things from the past right back at you and none of them work, it feels like Anderson ran out of ideas within the first 5 minutes and just couldn't be bothered to make something even half decent. The plot is full but flimsy, in fact so full it is that by the end it is breaking off and becoming increasingly run of the mill with every passing second. We see some new faces and some we have seen before but truly none of them work, the villains seem like the shoddiest creation of this movie(the story isn't far off though).Anderson just doesn't seem to get it that he's not making good movies, sure you can make a few poor one's and they'll blow over eventually, but this is something else. The series started out under average and was poor too but never was it truly very bad but now it is has reached that and maybe it is the annoyance I have for this series or that it just gets worse every time but, I just had to describe this as awful. Let's talk about the technical points and the CGI is OK at times but even that is used stupidly, the sets are something from a weird dream that is also a nightmare and all the time I just felt what a waste of not only production designers, but also of imagination.I'm not going to rant for nine pages about how I hated this, I'm going to leave it for you to see if you haven't all ready, I know even some like these kind of OTT action movies but this one really does not stand out and can't even rank well among it's not even OK predecessors. I hope one day Anderson can look back on his career and realise this was not a good move, I even hope he can make one film where everyone likes it and says "Hey great job Paul" and not "Remember when you made those dumb zombie movies Paul, they were real bad". So yes, Resident Evil Retribution, a movie that is hard to recommend unless you're either really into zombies or really into Milla Jovovich, and even then there are many better zombie movies out there, and movies with Jovovich in that are also much better.

Python Hyena Resident Evil: Retribution (2012): Dir: Paul W.S. Anderson / Cast: Milla Jovovich, Michelle Rodriguez, Sienna Guillory, Li Bingbing, Shawn Roberts: The fifth and unfortunately not the final showcase of this sh*t box franchise. Its subtitle regards the mending of losses although the ending pretty much sidelines any hope of that. It is just another excuse for mindless violence with people getting mauled by zombie or demonic type creatures. Milla Jovovich is a symbol of hope and is a real trooper to go through the routine again. She looks great in her skin tight black sex suit where she pulls out revolvers and large knives. She is still fighting that pesky Umbrella Corporation and the hit is out on Miss Milla who can scrap with the best of them. In fact, we have lots of feisty females in this gem. Michelle Rodriguez growls and spits bullets out her finger tips. Then she beats the tar out of two guys who just don't know when to quit. Sienna Guillory is under some sort of trance and is helping the Umbrella crew and the laughable Red Queen. She will engage in a nifty fist fight with Jovovich in the ice cold. Then we have Li Bingbing as a contact who helps Jovovich until she gets her ass caught. With the exception of Jovovich, these characters are airheads with no intention of doing anything remotely intelligent. The special effects are great with its reds and whites, and director Paul W.S. Anderson delivers an effective slow motion action opener, but his Three Musketeers is far more fun. So, the subtitle lies. There is no real retribution. Not even for the audience who must suffer through this and another bloody geek show. Score: 3 ½ / 10
