Resident Evil: Afterlife
I will see this, even though it will be bad, I will see it and enjoy it. Thank you badass female ninja-superhuman characters. |
Re: Resident Evil: Afterlife
Been waiting for this trailer ever since Milla Jovovich tweeted about it. :)
I'll definitely be watching it. |
Re: Resident Evil: Afterlife
This stupid movie franchise is still alive? It has a Mary Sue protagonist for crying out loud. How could any thinking person like it?

"Ooooh Backflips are sweet" "Did you see that roundhouse kick? She fucking took off that zombie head with her god damn foot." "HOLY SHIT NEMESIS!" It's a combination fan-boy/just being a boy. If martial arts are involved we're pretty much going to enjoy it. |
Re: Resident Evil: Afterlife
Normally I would agree with you, but the martial arts in the movies isn't very well performed or shot at all (it's pretty clear that Milla Jovovich doesn't actually know any martial arts and Paul Anderson doesn't know how to shoot action).
And I say again that Alice is a Mary Sue. She literally fits the definition of the term. She is an original character created by the author and inserted into the story. She is supposedly perfect in every possible way. And she overshadows every other canon character in the story. I know the RE storyline is cheese, but it still deserves better than this. Would it really have been that hard to just make Milla Jovovich play Jill? |
Re: Resident Evil: Afterlife
It's like the Transformers of zombie movies. Big, stupid, full of cheesey special effects...but with a big bag of popcorn it makes a Friday night less boring. I actually like 1 and 3 (2 kind of isn't that great). Probably will be a renter for me, just like the other 3. But hey, I'm not complaining.

Take Sarah Michelle Geller. You know buffy? Picked because she fit the part and she was a black belt in Tae Kwon Do. Oh who else... Wesley Snipes has studied martial arts all his life. I mean yeah most of the big stuff is probably still stunt men and junk, I know especially buffy stuff was mostly handled by stunt girls, but a lot of the episodes were just gellar kicking ass on her own. I can't say how much of RE stuff is Jovavich, but wouldn't say she doesn't know anything about real martial arts. ;) Well it's 12:20 AM here and I've already proved one person wrong in the day. I can now relax and enjoy the rest of my day. |
Re: Resident Evil: Afterlife
Your source seems to be Wikipedia and IMDB which are not exactly rigorous paragons of journalistic integrity. She may "practice" martial arts but that doesn't mean she's any good at them. Anybody can say they practice martial arts if they go to a few classes every week, but that doesn't mean they know anything about fighting. I know three martial arts. I have friends who are MMA fighters. We would all tell you that Jovovich's stance and the fundamentals of her technique are all wrong. Now if you had told me that Milla Jovovich has certified rank from an instructor I know about, that would be one thing. But as it is, I'm sticking with my opinion. She's pretending to know martial arts, but she doesn't actually.
Also, I don't know what you think Sarah Michelle Gellar has to do with any of this. Or Wesley Snipes. I'm aware that they are accomplished martial artists in real life (although I'd say Wesley Snipes much more so than Sarah Michelle Gellar). They certainly don't prove that all women cast in action movies know martial arts. Uma Thurman in Kill Bill? Carrie-Ann Moss is the Matrix movies? Almost everybody in the Dead or Alive movie? Angelina Jolie in everything she's done? They all "trained in martial arts in order to prepare for the role." And Ailce is still a frakking Mary Sue. |
