Movie Review – Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City

Was it bad? Yes.

Was it as bad as I expected? No. The previous Resident Evil movie set that bar so low I can’t imagine anyone getting under it, even if they tried.

So at least there’s that.

The acting was sometimes amateur YouTube channel bad. But you can’t fault the actors when the dialog is so woeful and the characters are just a grab-bag of random characteristics that make no particular sense.

What about the zombies?

Pretty much the run-of-the-mill slobbering zombies. Nothing new to see here.

The good/bad news, depending on where you stand, is that they have essentially rebooted the franchise by going back to 1998 to tell this story. So expect a lot more bad zombie movies to come.

By the way, if you want to see an excellent zombie movie then check out The Crazies. That was as good as the genre has to offer.

Grade: D+

About The Peetimes: I have 3 good Peetimes here. I’d recommend the 2nd or 3rd.

Movie Watching Must Have!!

I go feral for this app. I love it so much and I wish everyone knew about it and used it. It is incredibly useful and I would be devastated if this app ever disappeared. Things I love: 1) the pee times! It’s so handy to know the best time to go and then read the synopsis of what’s happening while I’m gone. I never have to worry about missing the good bits! 2) knowing if there is a post-credits scene or not. This might be my fav feature because I would have missed out on some pretty critical scenes if it weren’t for RunPee. 3) the movie review and viewer rankings. This info has made me watch some movies that I normally wouldn’t and it’s nice seeing things outside of my usual scope. 4) that it’s a small family run business. I love shopping small and it really does feel like I’m part of the RunPee family! If you reach out to them, Dan will personally respond to you and he is so warm and helpful. GET THIS APP AND THEN SUBSCRIBE! It is absolutely worth it and you’ll be using it again and again!

Returning to the origins of the massively popular RESIDENT EVIL franchise, fan and filmmaker Johannes Roberts brings the games to life for a whole new generation of fans. In RESIDENT EVIL: WELCOME TO RACCOON CITY, once the booming home of pharmaceutical giant Umbrella Corporation, Raccoon City is now a dying Midwestern town. The company’s exodus left the city a wasteland…with great evil brewing below the surface. When that evil is unleashed, a group of survivors must work together to uncover the truth behind Umbrella and make it through the night.

Dan Gardner

Creator and developer of the RunPee app. When something doesn’t work right in the app it’s pretty much his fault. 🙂

Aspiring author. Would like to finish his “Zombie Revelations” trilogy if he could break away for working on RunPee and the cottage he’s building for RunPee Mom.
