I watched the original Dungeons & Dragons from 2000. If my memory serves me right, wasn't it actually a fun movie?

The biggest flop of the year.

In the meantime, critic reviews have dropped, and they confirm it: Marvel is facing a creative crisis.
It’s currently sitting at 53% from 149 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, which doesn't inspire much confidence.

This trailer doesn't really hit the mark. Does it feel like they're just rushing to get this finished? A few monsters, an octopus, more comedy, and then some tragedy at the end? It just lacks that specific vibe from the first film. It feels a bit like the last Thor or Ant-Man.
How did they bring this Gamora back to life?

This movie is easily the biggest flop of the year. Is Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe the peak? Yes. But this current phase? A total disaster. The absolute worst.

Grace Sanders24 said:This is quite possibly the worst film ever produced. I felt physically ill after watching such garbage. How could Jared Leto have allowed himself to star in this mess? 🤦

Is this truly the same Jared who played Joker in Suicide Squad?

Was I expecting a superior trailer following that phenomenal announcement for Thor: Ragnarok? Perhaps. This is merely a teaser, yet it feels cluttered with everything under the sun—and the CGI looks strange, almost unfinished. Does the trailer itself feel like nothing more than a parody of Thor?

This looks even worse than Venom, which was an absolute disaster.

Is Batgirl the next big superhero hit from Marvel Comics? Based on the legendary Barbara Gordon / Batgirl, this project is being produced by Marvel Studios and Burr! It’s heading straight to Max as part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With Adil EL Arbi and Bilall Fallah at the helm and a script by Christina Hodson, we get to see Leslie Gradac as Barbara Gordon alongside J. K. Simmons, Brendan Fraser as Firefly, and Michael Keaton as Batman.

Will this be her definitive moment? This marks Batgirl's second live-action appearance, following her role in the 1997 Batman & robin starring Alicia Silverstone.

According to Marvel Comics, Batgirl is simply the secret identity of Barbara Gordon. She is the daughter of James Gordon, the commissioner of the New York City police department and a key ally to Batman. In most versions, James remains completely unaware that his daughter leads a double life as a masked vigilante. Since J. K. Simmons has confirmed he is returning as Commissioner Gordon, won't he and Gradac likely share many intense scenes together?

Finally, the first look at Batgirl in costume!

It feels a bit sluggish and looks low-budget, but honestly? I loved it. Why? Simply because I’m a massive Resident Evil fan, and I’ve been waiting for a movie like this since 2000. Okay, fine, I'm lying—I've actually been waiting since 2006, back when I first played Resident Evil 4 and fell down the rabbit hole. Wouldn't it be incredible if they just made a film based on the game featuring Leon Kennedy? And wouldn't a young Brad Pitt be the absolute perfect choice for the role? If only I were the director...

After that underwhelming trailer, this actually turned out to be quite solid and worth watching. It feels like a faithful adaptation of the Resident Evil games. Could they have used a bit more budget to truly bring Umbrella Street to life? Perhaps. I am glad they fixed that terrible CGI from the trailer for the final film. Only Chris felt hit or miss; the rest were just mediocre... overall, I give it a 7/10.
I am hoping for a sequel. Will Sony be discouraged by a relatively weak box office of only $30 million on a $25 million budget?

The greatest trailer ever made has to be:

Avengers: Infinity War

Even now, I get chills. Have I watched this single trailer at least 100 times? Yes, I have.

My second favorite is:

Is this one perhaps a bit better?

The trailer is finally here:

granitemason4 said:Why on earth hasn't there been a trailer for this yet, especially since we're less than two months out from the release?

Seriously, where is the trailer or even just a tiny teaser? Without the fans, how will anyone else know this is coming? It is truly unprofessional behavior on their part.
Major American networks release teasers six months in advance. Is it possible they are simply terrified of the backlash regarding the casting, specifically for Leon S. Kennedy?

I found the fourth installment to be just as solid, particularly that opening sequence and the score, which really got my adrenaline pumping.
As for this one, I’m going in with zero expectations or hype, mainly because they completely missed the mark by failing to cast the right actor for Leon S. Kennedy, who is essentially the face of RE.

I watched the first part just for Amber Heard's corset and cleavage. Will I watch the second?

It is such a shame that Romero never actually filmed his project back in 1998, despite all his hard work on it. Does anyone else find that tragic? If you're curious, here is the link:

Animated films aren't garbage! Why would anyone think that? They are incredibly popular among RE fans, serving as essential expansions to the RE universe. Besides, this year marks the 25th anniversary of RE, and we have received so much for the occasion: the RE 8 game, an animated Netflix series, a Netflix live-action series, this reboot film inspired by the animation, and the RE 2 game.

Movie Title: Resident Evil

Written and directed by: Johannes Roberts (Paramount Pictures, The Strangers: Prey AT Night)

Cast:
Kaya Scodelario as Claire Redfield, Avan Jogia as Leon S. Kennedy,
Albert Wesker (Tom Hopper), Brad Vickers (Nathan Dales), Jill Valentin (Hannah John-Kamen), Chris Redfield (Robbie Amell), and William Birkin, played by Neal McDonough.

Storyline: How did a thriving industrial hub transform into the epicenter of the T-Virus catastrophe? Once a booming home for the pharmaceutical giant Umbrella Corporation, this Midwestern city is now a decaying wasteland. After the corporation's mass exodus, the city sits in ruins... with a massive evil festering beneath the surface. When that darkness is unleashed, the citizens are forever... changed... and a small band of survivors must unite to uncover the truth behind Umbrella Corporation...

Is this a total franchise reboot? Yes, though it draws heavy inspiration from the game RE 2.

Can we look forward to its release this November?
