Both films OK. That's about it.

Resident Evil is fine. Nothing you haven't seen before. Which begs the question, why? Maybe this is a "one for me (the director) and one for the studio" kinda film. The only reason I went to see this is because I have fond memories of watching my younger brothers playing the original game for the first time and all three of us screaming in the dark at the first zombie reveal.

Hope is the real disappointment. Coming after previous films The Chaser, The Yellow Sea and The Wailing. What a massive stumble. The film has a great opening but then things go off the wall and not in a good way. It's a mess. I am shocked. There are glimpses of what could have been throughout film. Maybe the director has lost the plot or bit off more than they could chew.
