Critics Consensus: Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City is an affectionately faithful adaptation that further proves its source material is ill-suited to the big screen.

Reviews

The Canberra Times (Australia)

Cris Kennedy

It doesn't allow us to spend enough time with any of the characters to suitably flesh them out or make us care for their outcomes.

Director Johannes Roberts sticks close to the games, which might please fans, but the film's disparate stories don't mesh, and the script merely offers up clichés and identikit characters.

Add on another star, or perhaps even two, if you're a fan of the games, but Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City will struggle to win over those who aren't familiar with the franchise.

This too-faithful adaptation is strictly for game purists as casual fans will find the plot nonsensical and the characters non-existent. It's a shame because the cast is great and the Jennifer Paige's 'Crush' needle drop is inspired.
