@gamesdotgg: Zach Cregger's Resident Evil has debuted with a 98% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 56 reviews, making it the highest rated video game film adaptation of all time. It's rating means it also surpasses Sonic the Hedgehog 3's 86%. For context, the previous live-action Resident Evil films never got above 37% on the platform, and the 2021 Welcome to Raccoon City reboot sits at 30%. Critics are praising the film's scares, creature effects, dark humour, and Austin Abrams' lead performance - with several drawing comparisons to John Carpenter's The Thing. Polygon called it funny, scary, gross, and beautiful, while EJ Moreno described it as "a true horror blockbuster." Cregger's approach, building an original story around a medical courier thrown into the Raccoon City outbreak rather than adapting any specific game, appears to have been the right call. The film opens in cinemas on September 18. #residentevil #residentevilmovie #re4 #leonkennedy #gamingnews

calling it an adaptation is what makes the babies cry, its not an adaptation to a video game, best to say "A Resident Evil Story"

Rotten Tomatoes lost credability after rating The Odyssey insanely high. Went full blown IGN. Go watch movies and build your own interpretation.

Franchement je l'ai vu hier au cinéma, j’ai vraiment bien aimé ce film du début à la fin ! J’espère qu’il y aura une suite, surtout vu comment ça se termine à la fin… 😏 Ça laisse vraiment penser qu’il pourrait y avoir une suite !

i'm a Resident Evil fan and I understand why Zach cregger made this, not everything have to be exactly like in the videogame. some people are saying why there's no leon, if there is leon the Movie will end within 20 mins. so overall I give it a 7/10 the environment are there, acting is good natural reaction and just the ending not as I expected

It’s probably like the 2006 Silent Hill movie, where it’s a really good movie but bad adaptation, and that’s fine tbh.
