This movie was nothing but randomly showing characters / locations / puzzle items from the games hoping that fans would like it and the story points go minute by minute before they cut to another story plot with the wrong characters at the wrong place . “ how the hell did…

As a RE fan from the first game all the way to today, it was nice but could have been better. Clearly a love for the series is noticable but I feel Sony forced them to make "modern" changes. All the male characters were made stupid and had to be saved by women, Leon was the…

I think they tried to put the two games together in one movie and they cut out a lot of interesting things from the game and it also felt rushed the story.

Knew this movie was not goinna live up to expectations since it is driven from like 4 RE games. The source material is too all over the place. Miscast of all characters. No original character traits. So laughable when it shouldn't be and where it is intentional, they do ok…

As far as movies based on video games go it was ok. It needed more monsters!!

This movie is worth watching if you're a fan of the Resident evil games. It retcons a lot of the characters that we know and love, and the story is different from the games which creates continuity errors. My biggest disappointment was with Leon's character who is wasted…

was great for story and sticking to the games, ruined by one of the worst castings I have been unfortunate enough to see. honestly the moves was fine other than a cast that made it hard to watch

from my understanding, this is rebooting the films that came before. however, i much prefer those to this. when/if the sequel get released, i may change my mind since all the characters now have a back stories...

This is the one and only Resident Evil that everyone should avoid, such garbage filled with profanity, and blasphemy, and bad acting. I don’t live everyday cursing or if there’s an excuse to curse in one day.

Offensive. If you’re an actual fan of the game don’t watch it.

If you're a fan of the series, it's a great movie. Much better than the Anderson Saga. The pacing is great to start, but is a little rushed near the end. Plenty of humor to lighten the mood, but the action scenes are tense and scary. I was super impressed with the zombies,…

I had a lot of hope that it would do better than the original live action movies but to me it was worse. Still a fun movie to see with friends tho.

I got disappointed from the actors and the actresses role in the movie because most of the things that we saw has nothing to do with the story and the most stupid part is that when they made Leon as a funny character I'm being stupid

So I would start off by saying I have no idea why anyone is hating on this movie. Resident Evil Welcome to Racoon City is amazing, creepy, dorky in all the right ways, and frankly just an amazing realization of the games in movie form. There were one or two cast choices I…

I went in with zero expectations, so the film style of Welcome to Raccoon City and the story telling was refreshing.

There were plenty of nods to the source material, but why try to be so different? Despite the actors strong performance the writing was all over the place.

Not really scary like the games, but still worth the watch. Maybe tried to fit too many of the story lines into one short video. However better than all three previous live action movies.

If indeed this is a full on franchise reboot, this “origin story” is no Welcome to Raccoon City at all. It’s a warning to avoid ever coming back.

It’s not terrible as far as video game adaptations go, but as with many of them you’ll be wondering what the point is when a superior experience already exists.

Whatever the flaws of the previous Resident Evil series, those films were never as dull as Raccoon City. Roberts doesn't seem to know how to milk anything resembling genuine horror out of the material here.
