You have to wonder about these directors who decide to do videogame movies. They seem to like the story enough to do a movie about them but not enough to stick to the basic plot beats of the game. I didn't really expect much from this movie so I wasn't that disappointed. I have no idea why they decided to try to cram several games into one movie instead of doing them one by one and making a franchise. And since this movie was only an hour and a half long they barely covered any of the events from any of the games and the spots they did cover felt extremely rushed. Now, having played the games they are far from being Shakespeare but the basic story they could have used is pretty good. On the positive side, a lot of the locations they used from the games look spot on and some of the actors actually look like the characters. Half of them were horribly cast though. And for some reason they made Leon a bumbling idiot. I wish they'd finally get somebody who was a fan of the source material to direct one of these movies. Overall, it had parts that were likable but it was mostly a shitty movie and horribly written.
