Yes, it would technically be genocide, but he doesn’t see it that way. So, in the present day, when he sets his plans in motion, you can tell that to him, it makes perfect sense. His immediate partner, JJ, however, had no problem following the directive, and shot his former squadmates with extreme prejudice.Įventually, something terrible happened, and Dylan never lived it down. This was before he even knew what zombies were, and he didn’t want to kill his squadmates, since they were his friends. Unfortunately, most of his squadmates turned into zombies, and he was ordered to shoot them.ĭylan was conflicted, however.

The character’s name is Dylan Blake, and he used to work for the Umbrella Corporation with the task of trying to contain the outbreak back in Raccoon City. Lastly, the final reason I really loved this Resident Evil movie was because I actually sympathized with the antagonist. (Image credit: Kadokawa) The Villain Is Actually Sympathetic This movie does an excellent job of making all of the scary scenes extra action packed, so it’s the best of both worlds. Well, I’m happy to say that Death Island successfully melds the utter ridiculousness of RE 6's action and the frights of Revelations.īecause look, not only does this movie feature two of the series’ toughest characters in Leon AND Chris Redfield, just like in Vendetta, but this time, it also features the hard-as-nails Jill Valentine, so that’s another ass kicker this film needs to make way for. You just had to find it on the Nintendo 3DS at the time. But, games like Revelations were proof that the franchise still had it. The reason why a lot of people didn’t like RE 6 at the time was that it relied a lot more on action than frights, so some fans believed the series was straying too far away from its horror roots. I just mentioned how this movie feels like the game, Revelations, but I would also say that it feels like one of the more maligned titles in the series, Resident Evil 6.

(Image credit: Kadokawa) There Is A Healthy Dose Of Both Horror And Action Elements The story mostly takes place in Alcatraz, and the plot legit feels like it could have come from one of the video games. In fact, it almost feels like one of my favorite RE video games, Resident Evil: Revelations, with the way it’s told, and the stunning action. And Death Island feels like the real deal. So, no, a lot of Resident Evil fans no longer want something like it anymore. The Last of UsTV series was sometimes 1:1 with the original game, and was praised for being so accurate. movie, but I (and the fans!) loved it, since it was VERY much like the games. Many critics didn’t like the recent Super Mario Bros. movie? I mean, nowadays, I’ll defend it to my dying breath, but back then, I HATED it, because it was nothing like the games.įlash forward to the end of 2023, and that’s just not cutting it anymore. Have you WATCHED the original Super Mario Bros. I have played every mainline Resident Evil title, and let me tell you, the only live-action movie that has kind of gotten it right was Raccoon City (though certainly not in its portrayal of Leon, that’s for sure) and even that one was more about locations than anything else.īut, that’s the thing about video game movies of yore - they didn’t HAVE to be like the game they were based off of in order for fans to go see them.
