First off, I'm a huge fan of really cheesy and overdone movies that lack any plot, character, yet entertain at the same time. If there's going to be zombies, ridiculous fight scenes, and really bad dialogue... You better believe I'll be there watching whatever it is.
That said, you'll understand why I love this movie so much.
What we have here is a great slice of B movie greatness. We have our lovely super powered heroine, Alice, a ridiculously Rambo like Jill, and some side characters that don't really matter to much... Top that off with some super zombie that shoots a rocket launcher and you're in for a great time.
The storyline of the movie is quite ridiculous compared to the first. The first movie at least had a fairly decent story and managed to be a decent thriller with some good IL fashion zombie killing. It was slightly cheesy, but not nearly to the degree of this movie. Alice from the first movie is trying to escape the city, meets up with Jill and her buddy... They find a few more people, need to escape the city before Umbrella nukes it, and the only way out is some scientist that wants his daughter to be safely escorted out of the city. Of course, this means that legions of zombies must be fought, as well as the giant nemesis creature. This leads up for lots of overblown action sequences that will bring a smile to your face as you laugh at how awesomely bad they are.
To get technical We have special forces units capable of delivering head shot after head shot to zombies in a most ludicrous fashion. Everyone who is part of the main cast is also the same, they have dead aim no matter what position they're shooting from.
The only major flaw I can think of with this movie is that if you're a serious sort of person that doesn't enjoy a cheesy movie, then you're not going to enjoy this movie. Stay away from it and watch some stupid movie like The Grudge or something instead.
Anyway, this movie is definitely not to be taken seriously and can be enjoyed if you're watching it in that mindset. It's definitely one of my favorite movies of the year and I'll be purchasing it the moment it hits DVD shelves. If you're looking for a great time at the movies and enjoy a healthy amount of B in your flicks, then this one is for you.
9/10
