Quoted: On this subject, did anybody else like the first Resident Evil movie but find the sequel really disappointing?
(Qualifier - I've never played the game in any form, so I'm just talking about from a movie-watcher's perspective. )

I wasn't really expecting the first movie to be anything like the game. I loved the game... intense to say the least.
I like the first movie a lot. Good soundtrack. Good display of guns. Cool tech. Could have been wayyyy more gore in it for a zombie movie. I liked the tie in to the second movie. Was really lookin forward to the sequel... until I saw it.
What a let down that was. It had some good qualities, but for some reason it just left me feeling cheater.
For one the Umbrella STARS agents were tactically retarded. Engaging te zombies in the middle of a street... and IIRC a four way intersection. They could have done a lot more damage from the roof and had little to no casualties.
Giving Milla super powers was kinda lame, but cool at the same time.
Nemesis was stupid. Just looked like a big piece of latex. Some thigns just don't transfer well from PC to film. That was one of them.
The ended was kind of cool with her "Scanner" powers.
