I'm a big REfan, or addict, if you'd rather say that. I've got over 60 REgames in my collection.

Defending Afterlife (And the other REmovies)

Okay, so, I watched Resident Evil Afterlife in 3D, and I really liked that movie.For the last few years though, I've always figured that since the games are the games, and the movies are the way they are (lol) I can't like them both, and I of course chose the games.

Today, I went in a direction I didn't think I would - I bought the Limited Edition Trilogy-box of the first three REmovies. Why is that "weird"? Well, saying for so long that I nearly hated the movies, and already having a copy of them each are the main reasons for that. But it doesn't end there. I read a review about Afterlife that was in a Swedish magazine, where someone who knew NOTHING about the REgames wrote it, and really critisized the fourth movie, in ways I hadn't even expected of a non-REfan. I won't mention them here though, since I'm a bit lazy, hehe.

Instead of agreeing with the writer of the review, which I normally do when it's about the movies - I chose to defend it, since I figured that the critique wasn't fair at all. And this was basically 'cause the reviewer said that Alice was a heroine from both the games and the movies. That sure enough proves that this isn't a fan, nor someone who takes the time to do some fairly amount of research before writing a review like that. If you're gonna bash something, do it right. I did watch the three first movies only to be able to bash at the right things. Afterlife changed my view of them. So yes, for the first time in my life (kind of) I defended the REmovies. Even though I got to defend the games at the same time. I'm just that much of a Resi-addict X)

Afterlife (no spoilers, haven't even seen it yet XD lol)

So, it's time for "Resident Evil" Afterlife to hit the cinemas. And yes, putting the quotation marks around Resident Evil, and not the whole title explains very well how I feel about the movies. I really don't mind watching them - they're great movies, they really are - but they're just not Resident Evil.

Anyway, I'll be watching Afterlife next weekend, since it takes a while for the movies to get here X) But... it won't be a normal visit to the cinema. Why's that? Well, I'm not gonna tell =D
