The first two Resident Evil movies were okay. It turned into a complete shit show after that.
Calling the second good is a bit of a stretch. The first was the only one that incorporated horror elements (that thing that made RE great), but the franchise was guaranteed shit once they decided to super power Alice to Wesker level right from the word go.
There are moments that are enjoyable in the second film, but mostly comedic entertainment, like "my shit is custom". As a mindless action flick it's watchable, as a RE movie it's tough sale, and it doesn't hold up much, especially when Umbrella proves to be completely retarded. Shooting the doctor at the end because something he can create is more valuable than the creator, was some god fucking awful writing.
Still haven't gotten around to watching the new one, it's a tough sale for the wife, so probably have to watch it with headphones one night when she passes out early lol.
