Resident Evil
I've played all of the games in the series, so maybe I'm a little biased. I think they made the movie so that everyone could enjoy it, and not just those who have played the games. In my opinion the whole story was nothing like the game, but they had a great atmosphere in a lot of the scenes. I really dug the mansion scenes for that reason. Marlyn Mason also composed the music and dig a great job with it. Over all, this wasn't as action-packed as I thought I was going to be, but it was still very entertaining. 4 out of 5.
