Ah the Resident Evil movie franchise... were the main protaganist is a woman called Alice who wasn't in the game.

I've only seen the first two movies but they are all sort of meh. Obviously they can't really follow the games plotlines or what happens since it's pretty much running around, backtracking and solving puzzles but you at least you would do something sort of similar to the game.

That Red Queen shit in the first one was just stupid and the Alice character is totally unneeded.

I could come up with a better plot right now:

Movie starts off with either Chris and Jill in the S.T.A.R.S office in the RCPD receiving message about killings in the Arklay mountains and the disappearence of Bravo team. They are sent to investigate the Spencer Mansion by their commander Wesker. Brad pisses off when they arrive and they are left trapped at the mansion site. They explore the mansion, see the zombies, then they have to fight the zombies off *cue many action scenes of attempting to survive in the mansion*. They find Wesker who is revealed to be apart of this all along, find out about T-Virus and then the Tyrant is released who stalks them around the mansion. They then kill it off and attempt to battle wesker who escapes as the mansion is set to blow up or something and they escape when Brad returns.

There we go - it closely follows the game and is a doable plot. Why was that so hard? It even sets it up for the next movie.

It's not difficult to follow for people who have never played the games or anything and it's familiar to people who have played the game. You could argue that this would not make a good movie for people who have played the game before cause it follows so closely but even still, Star Wars Episode 3 was a decent movie and it was common knowledge that Anakin would become Darth Vader.

At the end of the day it just seems that the actual RE movie franchise just seems to continue to milk it by throwing in characters who should have been included a long time ago.
