Here are some customer reviews of
Resident Evil - Apocalypse (Special Edition)
: For all those that think the first movie was upsetting....well. For one, the reason it didn't go with the storyline of the Games was because they were basically showing how it all started. *shrugs* Most wouldn't figure that out....and blood and gore...sure that's all good. But just because it doesn't have enough blood, guts, and gore doesn't make it a bad movie. It's the storyline that makes a movie good. I'm all for blood, guts, and gore......but I also look at the storyline. Sure...it could have been a bit better, so could other movies as well. That's how the creators strive to make a movie better. I'm a big horror movie buff...and I've seen all old movies that didn't have all those "gorey and special graphics" and they were all good as well. Welp, that's all I guess. I'm looking forward to seeing this movie myself, specially if Nemesis is in it... (Is a big fan of RE games.)
 This movie should get more credit than it's getting. I thought it was better than the first in many ways. It's a solid action flick. So what if they deviated from the video game a bit. There were a lot of references for fans to pick up on. Good entertainment.
I believe this movie will put Resident Evil back into the good ol' zombie genre. The first Resident Evil was ok, to put it bluntly, the movie was very much different from the game as well as the books. The movie also didn't contain enough action and therefor left one sitting there looking at their watch. I would also watch which reviews I read here, as many of them are most likely written by 10 year olds who sit at home and play Resident Evil games all day. Overall, as a Zombie genre fan, I can only hope that the release of Resident Evil: Apocolypse, as well as, the remake of Dawn of the Dead do great in the box office.
 The sequel to Resident Evil, Apocalypse pales in its shadow. Resident Evil was a guilty pleasure that provided decent entertainment. Milla Jovovich did a decent job of playing a action-heroine. I only wish the sequel managed to achieve its predecessor's quality.
Milla Jovovich did manage to learn one thing about acting: she surrounded herself in the sequel with actors of such a caliber that in comparison is an Oscar caliber performance. Yes, everyone else in the movie is that bad (although they do have wonderfully stereotypical accents).
The plot is also so disjointed to lose all logic. First a virus is unleashed around the city so the evil corporation puts a wall around the city to keep the zombies in. Makes sense so far, but for some reason they put mercenaries in the midst of the city for no discernable reason other then to provide ready victims. And from there the plot continues to flounder. What ultimately ruins plot is that is composed of specific action sequences taken from the games with a narrative designed to bridge the gap. A big mistake.
The ending of Apocalypse (following the final battle) is the best part of the movie. It promises a sequel that escapes the shackles of the game series.
Hopefully this one will be better. Jill will be in it...to be honest i don't like the actress that will play Jill. Jill is one great beautiful character, they should have picked someone else. When we heard that Milla would be the star of Resident Evil we thought she`d be Jill. OK...but Nemesis will be in it and that makes up for anything that went wrong in the first one. I hope the soundtrack to be AWESOME!!!. The zombies were not convincing in the first one, they have to look scarier this time
