This is a what if situation for the first two Resident Evil movies. Okay this is maybe gonna be a long intro. But I don’t want it to be so I’m gonna explain some stuff. Honestly the Resident Evil movies have their place in history. Now we are getting a reboot that’s gonna be more closer to the games roots. It’s just interesting to look back at those older films.

I did like that first film despite some stuff. But as the films went on they became more disappointing and just should of been better game adaptions. It even could of been an average franchise that wasn’t that disappointing but it happened anyway. 

I’ve been thinking about making this. But I have wondered about making this a trilogy with either the third being a Code Veronica adaption or Resident Evil 4 adaption. But I’m just gonna stick with the first two the 2002 film and Resident Evil Apocalypse. Basically my what if situation here is changing the story up a bit to be a bit more accurate to the games. While the movies are a loose adaption of the games yet more respectable to the source material. While also they are their own thing. Also keeping the same actors or most of them because I honestly don’t mind the casting of these films. It’s also the fact I don’t know much of these actors and again I don’t mind the casting choices. Because there are some I like.

Mostly in a way I imagine films like these to be around in the 34%(just like that first film) to a 45% or 49% or 50% on Rotten Tomatoes. Mainly with Apocalypse being the weaker film.

So here I go. Basically here’s my reworking and what if for the first two Resident Evil films.

Resident Evil 2002.

Story: An elite task force known as S.T.A.R.S. is sent to investigate the outskirts of Raccoon City near a mansion after a series of bizarre murders. The team consists of Jill Valentine(Sienna Guillory), Chris Redfield(Wentworth Miller), and Albert Wesker(Jason O’Mara) are sent out. But things start to go out of control as they become trapped in a mansion. Finding out there is more to it than it seems. Along with finding a amnesic woman named Alice(Milla Jovovich), and a team of commandos sent by the Umbrella corporation to investigate the mansion as well. Featuring their leader named Hunk(Collin Salmon), Rain(Michelle Rodriguez) and others.

Now all trapped in this mansion. Against a onslaught of zombies and other monsters. They must work together as they try to survive and escape the mansion. Along the way they discover more of who is behind the scenes of what’s going on.

Fun note: I discovered Jason Isaacs was the narrator and a cameo of William Birkin in the first film. But he couldn’t make into playing the character in the 2nd film. Was thinking of adding him in the 2nd film. But I think I’m fine. I just find that cool he was in the first film some how.

A possible score for this movie on RT would be 45% or just 50% or around that frame if it was handled with the right amount of care and I would of liked that.

Resident Evil 2 Apocalypse.

Story: It’s been two months since the mansion incident. With the chief of police not believing their story, Chris going to Europe to investigate Umbrella headquarters, and others like Alice, Hunk, and even Wesker missing. Jill(Sienna Guillory) is some what alone as the T-Virus now spreads into Raccoon City.

Yet now accompanied by her new partner Leon Kennedy(Jake Gyllenhaal), a rookie cop on his first day, and Chris’s younger sister Claire(Ali Larter) must stick together to survive the destruction of Raccoon City and all of the zombies and monsters.

Along the way meeting members of UBCS such as Carlos Oliveria(Oded Fehr) and Nicholai Ginovaef(Zack Ward), and even a mysterious woman named Ada Wong(Li Bingbing). But more trouble ensures when a B.O.W. named Nemesis begins to stalk them and try to kill anyone from S.T.A.R.S. or anyone connected to them. Along with Nicolai and Ada having other plans for their own sake.

During all of this, they find a girl named Sherry Birkin(Sophie Vavasseur) and they discover that her father William Birkin(Iain Glen) may of had a hand creating the virus and also a new one.

Fun note: This was interesting to find out and it turns out it’s a easter egg in a way. Screen Gems made a promotional faux newspaper detailing that Leon was Jill’s partner until he was killed by monsters. It’s something I found out on the Resident Evil wiki I think and wanted to look back at it. 

So I decided to use that easter egg as a idea for this loose adaption that mixes both Resident Evil 2, and 3 into one story. With Leon being Jill’s new partner in this. It seemed weirdly natural in a way.

Also the fact when I typed this. Including when I think about Resident Evil Apocalypse unless it was written better or whatever. It seemed like there were too many characters in that film. Including seeing this I do feel this seems a bit much unless it was handled well. Yet it’s possible William’s G form might not be included. Unless it’s some how in the end but that would be disrespecting the source material so maybe leave it in that third film. With Nemesis, who is no longer a tragic villain and now just simply a imposing antagonist sent by Umbrella. Along with Nicolai as a secondary antagonist. Just like his role of Nikolai in the third game. Despite the movie version is younger and has a different name, mainly Nikolai is spelt differently and the last name is different.

Along with the fun possibility of maybe Nemesis and his overcoat being Mr. X’s in a similar way a costume for Marvel Vs Capcom Infinite has for Nemesis. Or Mr. X could be another monster that’s not important. But I don’t know if that would bring justice to Mr. X on film. Besides I loved Nemesis’s design in Apocalypse so we might just stick with that.

But yeah a possible score for this movie could be 39% or so. Mainly in that 30′s range and I’m being nice about that. Basically meaning it’s not better than the first film but it’s alright. 

Well that took a bit. But yeah I’m done with that. Tell me your thoughts and I’m thinking about it. I could do a third but I don’t know if I want to unless I feel inspired. Besides we are getting a reboot that’s more faithful to the games and I’m excited about that. Especially again the RE movies have their place. I’m amazed there are 6. They should of been better, and luckily we are getting a reboot that hopefully is better.
