Finally…A Resident Evil movie that gamers will love (hopefully)
No, I’m not talking of a sequel to Resident Evil: Extinction, because they would probably never make a part four anyway. (Well, if they did, I’ll just wait until it comes out on DVDs.) I’m talking about Resident Evil: Degeneration, the first full-length CG animation feature based on the video game series of the same name. According to Wikipedia, it’s currently in production, and it’s slated to make its theatrical...

Jessica Zafra wrote in her review (the only one I’ve read about the movie) that, “This is possibly the best superhero movie ever made.” Guess what? I cannot agree with her more!
