Leon and Ada have been cast in the new live action movie Resident Evil Retribution. What does everyone think of Anderson's choices?

Pictures this way... )

I stopped watching after Ali Larter was cast as Claire. The third one was horrendous. I watched it once, that was enough. I heard the fourth was worse. Leon is my all time favorite character, him being in them makes me want to watch the movie less, not more.

On the plus side, I hear they're making another one of the animated films that has nothing to do with Milla and her continued ability to miss the point of RE being about humans vs. Monsters, not monsters vs. Monsters.

The quote that Anderson made that made me shutter was when he remarked he was introducing Las Plagas because he loved the idea of having zombies ride motorcycles while wielding machine guns and no one had ever done that before.

May I add, there is a -reason- no one has ever done that before, it's the campiest thing I've ever heard.

I know the quote you mean. Maybe he was inspired by RE5 and that scene with motorcycle riding ganados (or whatever RE5 called their main infected group)...? I hear Las Plagas will feature in the movie so maybe this is what he was aiming for. :S

Eh. We've already had telekinesis in these movies. The motorbikes by comparison feel like an upgrade in the logic department.

Majini is what they're called.

And yeah, RE5 did the motorcycle riding zombies thing. I wouldn't be surprised that's where he got it since he also had mind control Jill at the end of the fourth's credits.

He said that?? LMFAO!! I don't even...know what to do with that. Except laugh at it. XDDD

(Although now that I think about it...weren't there machine gun-wielding, motorcycle-riding Majini in RE5?)

So the general consensus is saying, I have a Wii at home, no next gen systems, so this is the first I've of it. I've never really cared too much for Chris though, so even if I did have access, I probably would have never seen it through to the end. I own the game though:)

Eh. It's not as bad as lots of people say it is. Then again, I went in with low expectations, so. XD

I felt the same way and still do to some extent. But I'm going to give this a try. If it's okay then great. If it sucks then I won't feel as if I've lost anything because the live action movies have their own canon. They're a law unto themselves. A poor representation of Leon in Retribution won't taint RE2 and RE4 Leon for me. All it would do is waste 90 minutes of my life (if I actually decide to watch the thing that is) :)

I liked all of the first 3 movies, but the fourth? No. I didn't like Ali Larter as Claire, either. She just didn't bring anything of Claire to the movie. And she looked nothing like her. In the last one, Chris? Was horrible. And the action scenes sucked. Of course, I don't have a 3d TV, so maybe that made it worse? O_o

I'll give this one a chance because I love Leon/Ada. But I don't have any good expectations.
