Well, everyone has own opinion. Personally it seems to me that facial animation has become a little better, but character movements aren't in all aspects are better.

I personally enjoyed the film. Sure its not without serious flaws, one of them being the action. Action was pretty cool (I loved Leon's inner John Wick action scene) but action went too ridiculous levels that i started laugh. I found it weird that they gave Leon same backstory as Chris in RE6 after losing his so called unit that we never saw, he sadly doesn't have much purpose in the film other than to stop the infection and being badass. Rebecca was more of plot dev ice and sadly didnt get much to do. The story wasn't perfect either it had plot holes and some of the subplots are not followed. Then there is Glenn Arias, the main antagonist of the movie, who the movie wanted us to feel sympathy for him but kinda failed. Also he is like Wesker 2.0 in a way that Chris spent the entire movie getting his ass kicked throughout entire film. They made him ridiculously untouchable and invincible combat expert and Chris didn't land a single punch and he won by luck. Overall despite the negatives i still enjoyed the film still.

I totally agree with you. Despite the huge number of shortcomings in this movie, it's still good. But not enough. The developers tried to make the previous two much better than this one. In fact, in this movie there is no joint cooperation between the two main characters of the series as the developers wanted to do. Leon & Chris don't fight together anywhere. They act alone. And anyway, if Leon removed from this movie, then almost nothing will change as he doesn't play a role in the story. It's awful. We weren't shown the story of that bomb. And the reason for his drinking doesn't match this character. Too many characters & too little screen time for all this. Action in this movie is spectacular but implausible. For example, when Leon was riding a bike, the cars exploded because of him. When Nadia shot a mutant Arias, she shot several buildings where there were many people. Chris' fights with Glenn are too ideal. Okay, this list of shortages can be continued for a long time. I will say only that the movie didn't live up to expectations.

Imagine if Leon and Chris fought Arias together, how amazing it could've been. Also i forgot to mention the highway scene where Leon is chased by zombie dogs that can keep up with Leon's bike and Leon blowing up the last Cerberus dog with grenade in the highway that probably also killed couple of citizens. Worst fight scene has to be Chris vs. Glenn on rooftop where both rivals run in circles, shooting and missing each other in point blank range which made me say "How do you miss that? Aim your gun slightly lower, Chris and you would've won". Once they both lose their guns, their fisticuffs lasted about 30 seconds. Despite every effort Chris does he doesn't manage to land a single hit. I'd say Glenn Arias had potential to be good villain. He is given one flashback about when his family wife died in U.S bombing his wedding but aside from that we don't know much about him other than he was already arms dealer before he lost his family. Somehow he is also expert martial artist, kinda like Svetlana from Damnation(Granted, she was a battle instructor, but still. Glenn just knows) Don't you get tired when villain is too perfect at everything and goes untouched or doesn't even break a sweat in fight with Chris. Don't get me wrong, i love when villain provides challenge for our hero but making villain this perfect where he goes untouched and hardly breaks a sweat despite everything hero has to go through to have rematch. Makes me call bullshit on it. Also Arias had plenty of opportunities to kill Leon and Chris if he is so great on what he does, but didnt.

The scene with dogs in general is strange. Leon kills civilians. Tricks on a motorcycle implausible. If he was so hung on a motorcycle, he would have fallen to the ground with this bike. And anyway, why did the dogs prefer to run after Leon instead of attacking Chris standing in one place?
I agree with you about Arias & his invincibility & some kind of unreal battle with Chris. And in general the final battle is not impressive as it should. When the mutant Glenn was grabbed Chris or Leon, he could just squeeze them harder or with no problems to turn their heads, but instead, for example, when he grabbed Leon, he began to look at him first, then boasted of his manicure, then another said something.I understand that the developers wanted to make this moment tense, but they didn't it. And I was amazed that when Leon tossed a bike into Arias & fired at him then I thought that blown up & a helicopter with his allies. But somehow this helicopter was unharmed. The whole action in this movie something is not so. I don't know who he came up with these action, but it does not give in to logic. The movie, though fantastic due to zombies, but still the main characters are ordinary people and not some supermen. The only battle that was more or less than normal was a battle in the corridor. That's all.

Yeah, the corridor action scene with zombies was the best part in the movie. Sadly, its been showcased in many trailers and in youtube before i saw the movie. Leon and Chris are together in action for about 5seconds before splitting up. Like you, i was also surprised how was the helicopter undamaged and not destroyed by exploding motorcycle next to it and Nadia basically committed mass murder for destroying 4 or 5 buildings with rail cannon.

Well, I specifically didn't watch anything to this movie except the first two trailers. I didn't want to see the spoilers & therefore that scene in the corridor was new & interesting for me. In general, it's strange that the developers showed too many trailers, excerpts from the movie, screenshots, they wrote a lot of information on the plot before the movie was released. They almost told the whole story. Why so it was necessary to do, I don't understand?
Yes, before this movie characters never killed people, and in this movie they kill them in batches. And besides they kill innocent people. This is strange.

Yeah, they did. Almost felt like filmmakers were desperate. I still prefer Damnation over Vendetta, at least Leon didn't go around killing civilians even though he had some insensitive comments but overall i enjoyed Leon's cheesy lines and it was great to see Ada in it. My only complaint was the villain, Svetlana Belikova. The movie showcases that she is President of Eastern Slav Republic and combat instructor, but they never show her true potential as villain and nothing is known about her. Her fight scenes are so one-sided. She can apparently block and dodge both Leon and Ada's attacks effortlessly. I did loved the part where Ada learned that knives are better for close encounters from Leon in RE4, too bad it does nothing against main villain. It just kills the tension when villain can deal with Leon and Ada without breaking a sweat no matter how hard they try to fight against her my similar complaint with Arias. If she is so skilled, then why doesn't she take the perfect opportunity to knock them out or kill them if she really wants them out of picture. Regardless i did loved the final Tyrant battle.

Yeah, as for animation i still prefer Damnation's animation. Vendetta has great animation but i felt the Damnation looked slightly better(In Vendetta Leon's hair hardly moves during action scenes). I think the difference between Damnation and Vendetta is that Vendetta takes the action to exaggerating levels while Damnation was mostly down-to-earth...well, mostly. (Sure, Svetlana fights were ridiculous but i loved the Tyrant fight. Ada fighting in miniskirt and heels were silly kinda awesome). Aside from not expanding Leon's character in Vendetta and why he is depressed and drinking in his sorrows(Seriously, they could have shown a flashback of bomb going off and Leon holding fellow agent or Hunnigan, his long time support dying in his arms. Injured but enraged Leon would still keep fighting and barely making out instead of rehashing the opening scene of the movie)but they have made Leon into invincible superhero which i'm not okay with. (Aside from riding motorcycle and doing everything perfectly Leon gets thrown against wall at full force by Mutated Arias, his right shoulder hits the wall and yet he is completely fine, no broken bones or that he gets uppercutted in the air and it barely fazes him) I miss the times when Leon was vulnerable human, flesh and blood. Even when he got his crazy acrobatics in RE4 he wasn't perfect all the time. Like you said in description, they are like super heroes.

You're absolutely right. Animation in Damnation was better & the action was more believable. Of course, not everything is perfect, but the movie looks easy & with interest.
Exactly. I also ask myself why they didn't show that memory? It just looks like some kind of stupid & weird reason for his drinking. Probably they were too lazy to create new locations & characters. I honestly don't understand why he was added to this movie. He in fact doesn't take part in the plot. I think he's in this movie just to advertise the motorcycle & that's all. About Leon nothing is told & not shown. And this is sad. And yes, he's a superhero same as Chris here. It's already supermen. Chris with his huge muscles is too active in the fights. Leon skates on the motorcycle spitting on the laws of physics. Becca was somehow the only one who survived the infection in the laboratory. And I was very surprised that RE characters never killed people, and in Vendetta they kill & exclusively peaceful citizens. I think that either this movie was made by someone who doesn't know very well series Resident evil & just wanted to do cool & spit on the plot & logic, or the developers of the first two good movies suddenly somehow ran out good ideas & made nonsense.

Resident Evil Vendetta almost started to remind me of live action Resident Evil movies without an Alice. Also the vaccine in Vendetta manages to turn zombies back to humans despite the fact that zombies are undead beings but apparently A-Virus makes you turn into zombie immediately. In Degeneration Leon said this line "If you don't try to save one life, you'll never save any" and what happens in Vendetta. He shows no concern for civilian lives. If they need to make Leon more belligerent and darker than Chris, at least expand on it and like you said, show don't tell. Give us the reason to care.

I agree, the writers have already started copying ideas from Anderson's movies. In re6 they made clone of Ada. Vendetta looks like moviea with Alice. And besides, the mutated Arias is similar to the mutated Isaacs. Characters don't look like themselves, as well as the story. I'm afraid to imagine what will happen next. Hah, yes, maybe like you said, there some will be delirium about "motherhood".

I liked this movie alot. It was the best RE movie so far.
What worked: The character development we got from the main characters was great. I liked how they showed how Leon really is effected by everything he's gone through and has developed a drinking problem. I also like how they mention how its like a never ending loop. The action scenes were over-the-top, but in a good way. I mean, if you liked FFVII: Advent Children, you should have no problem with it here. And the scene with Leon killing all those zombies is even more badass since Chris gets his own moment before that.
What didn't work: There is bad dialogue, not as much as the previous movies, that just did not work. It was simple things too that could have been changed by any of us and it would have sounded better. The villain is an interesting character at first until you get to know his backstory. Oh, and I swear to god the BSAA does not give two shits about killing innocent bystanders.

I'm not saying that this is a bad movie. No, I liked it. But it doesn't falls short until the last two. For example, we were shown how Leon is going through sad events. But how do we feel about what we were not shown? It's just that Leon said that someone threw a bomb on them. And that's all. The viewer doesn't feel & experience events & therefore can't worry together with the character. Characters are not fully disclosed here. The history is not finalized. And it is because of this that this movie is worse than the previous ones. I think so.

jevangood In reply to Taitiii [2017-06-22 22:46:31 +0000 UTC]
That's understandable. But he did go into further detail. He said he was betrayed by someone he trusted. It wasn't really much we needed to see. It was pretty simple. We've seen how the whole betrayal thing has gone down before in RE1, RE4 and RE6. Plus the way Leon made it sound, it seemed like it happened fairly simple and didn't need to be shown. And that wasn't the only reason Leon had a drinking problem and going through sad events. It's the fact that, and he said it in the movie, they've been doing this for so many years and Bioterrorism keeps coming back. It's like a never ending loop. They showed that he started drinking in the end of Damnation. They built on that in here.

Actually it is important to showcase what causes the main character to go downward spiral. Heck, they could have showcased in Leon's flashback when explains the past events maybe having fellow agent or Hunnigan dying in his arms after bombing and maybe have Leon being injured but enraged who still keeps fighting and barely making out alive instead of rehashing the opening of the film. According to novelization of the film, Leon is also haunted by the memory of having to shoot the president, the close friend of his which would've been great if they added that in the movie and also the part where Chris comforts Leon about having suffered the same ordeals as he has. I wish they would have expanded on Leon's character a bit more so that his character development could have been stronger.

Shit. I had no problem with the way they did it. It probably would have been better if they showed it but it probably wouldn't have been any different from anything else we've seen. Like the audience would have been like, "That's what happened? He's been through so much worse." Similar to Chris in Resident Evil 6. His team died and that's what set him off. Even though he's loss plenty of team members before that in the other games.

I think it would have made the scene more stronger. Well its not any different from Chris's backstory even without being told which makes me wonder why even bother give Leon that backstory in the first place. Leon lost some random nobodiesthat we never knew and saw dying. I wish that if they could have shown that and have Chris comfort him from same ordeals that would have been great.

Yea, but the way it happened made it seem like it was quick and not really worth showing. Chris didn't bring him comforts in words but Leon kinda saw it first hand of why he does it. He realized that they saved millions of people and losing a handful of people shouldn't bring him down.

I respectfully disagree. If you want us to sympathise with someone. You need to give better explanation than just "Bomb went off DC, some random guy betrayed me and I lost some random agents". Also, how come Leon is more broken about losing some random unit than losing his close friend The President. If they movie could've given us slightly more detail. For example: Have Leon being broken about failing to save people and his allies he promised he swore protect and traumatized by the fact that someone close to him like President died for example Hunnigan.

I rather would have preferred that he would've been broken about President's death and Ada's disappearance. That would've made more sense to me after fighting BOW's his whole life has taken toll on him. But instead they have Leon telling the other story that we never got to see also its very rushed. How do you expect the audience to care when story doesn't elaborate and fill in the blanks? To me, it feels really jarring and it has same emotional impact as Chris screaming "NOOOO" when his "fellow" agent zombie died that we never knew who she was and what she meant to Chris. Which means barely anything.

Resident Evil never fills in the blanks. I mean notice how in Damnation Ada says, "When are we gonna pick up where we left off?" Leon says, "Anytime but now." There are always things in the movies that make you have to imagine for yourself what happened.

With Chris we saw his team getting killed. But here is difference. Yes, I would have love to see Ada and Leon during that night. The director originally intended to have that in the movie but Capcom didnt allow it. Would've been better if they did. We have seen Ada before in Resident Evil and we already know her history wih Leon. But who are these random assholes that Leon lost that were never referenced in any other story but in this and never shown? In Damnation it was just flirtarious banter and it didnt affect his mission. In here its supposed to be character's change to downward spiral state. Sure, Resident Evil is not best when it comes to character growth but if you need to have character development you need to give us reason why character acts out of their characters.

Maybe. Now im not trying to change your opinion. I admit Vendetta is lot of fun to watch. Action scenes are done well, there is no shaky cam or bullshit quick cuts like in shitty live action films. Vendetta definitely beats all the live action ones. I actually like Chris better in this film than RE6'and it was great to see Rebecca in it but I wished they utilized her more but then again she is not combat experienced as Leon or Chris. I think it was time for Leon to become more cynical but his story is what it is. My flaws with Vendetta are that sometimes action gets too ridiculous(Starting with Leon riding on motorcycle being chased by zombie dogs that somehow manage to keep up with Leon's bike)Minor characters are either useless, dumb or they show up at last second to aid the heroes. One of the BSAA soldiers destroys 5 or 6 skyscrapers when trying to kill Arias. My last complaint is the villain, Glenn Arias who is like a Wesker 2.0, who happens to be expert martial artist and perfect at everything that he is literally posing at the camera. He had lot of potential to be one of the best villains, but I dont think he is written that well. He has some backstory on why he wants revenge and tries to marry Rebecca and is only into necrophilia.

Oh I agree with quite a bit of your points. That's why I think one of the movies needs to deal with Collateral Damage like Captain America Civil War. Leon was shooting up a highway and threw a grenade out there to kill one dog while other cars were on the bridge as well. The villain I agree was pretty weak. It made no sense how a bomb blows up his wedding and everyone dies but him and he's just stuck with a small scar on his face.

Leon must have got training from John Wick to perform those slick Gun-Fu movies. Either way, i loved that scene from the movie. I would like to add that, Arias not only he survives from bombing with nothing but an eye scar but he has no established fight training yet he easily beats Chris in hand to hand combat. I don't know about you but i prefer well balanced villains. I'll give Wesker some pass because T-virus gave him superhuman strength and speed to easily outmatch Chris. But Arias is just human being and just businessguy who just knows some skills which i found quite odd.

Prior to the release of Vendetta, it always seemed to me that Leon in Damnation sometimes drank first from a flask in memory of JD, and in the end of movie he drank just relieve fatigue after the hard day. I didn't think it was the beginning of his alcoholism. And it's not just about Leon. For example, who is that guy Patricio? When did those events happen? Developers could allocate 5 minutes & show a little what happened. Or Chris for example. He came to the mansion to save some girl & her son. But who is this girl? For Chris, she means a lot but for the viewer she's just another zombie. Also, new Chris fighters are badly disclosed. Besides the fact that they all love some movie, we don't know anything about them anymore. In Damnation, for example, JD & Buddy, we see what these characters represent, their behavior, their actions & goals. In Vendetta there is a lot of everything & everyone but everything happens very quickly & really nothing is uncovered. The fact that the movie has cool action doesn't make it the best of the trilogy. Need a good story component of which in this movie is rather weak.

jevangood In reply to Taitiii [2017-06-29 12:56:31 +0000 UTC]
Yea, that was the main problem with the movie was detail. But, Patricio was apart of the bombing in Resident Evil 6 apparently, since it did happen in Washington DC. And this movie takes place before RE7. And the woman who was kidnapped was an undercover agent. They mention all of this stuff but its briefly. Every person that Chris tries to saves means alot, whether he knew them well or not. He just hates trying to save people and failing. And the fighters they didn't really build up on because they weren't in the movie that long. I guess they didn't want the movie to lose focus on Chris, Leon and Rebecca. But we did get to see how they all behaved together. Didn't get a backstory. I agree that the story wasn't its best and I knew that when Glenn's wedding had a bomb dropped on it and he pretty much came out with only a scratch. This movie doesn't have a better story, but its better than the previous movies in more ways. The dialogue/acting/action/Animation are way better.

No, I don't agree with you. The attention is not focused on anything or anyone. Weak plot. Even visually the movie looks worse than Damnation. No, I like how characters look here, but in Damnation the characters & locations look more realistic than here. Facial animation is better in Vendetta, but the action-moves are worse. And action was more believable in Damnation. And the logical component is also lame here. For example, when the dogs were chasing Leon, cars with ordinary people exploded on the road because of him. Or when Nadia shot at Arias, the shell went through buildings in which there were probably a lot of people. Earlier in games & movies of this series, I didn't notice that because of the main characters innocent people suffered. Here the developers wanted to do spectacularly & they did it. But this affected on the plot & plausibility. How I said before, this movie is good but worse than the previous two.
