Rate + Rank All The Resident Evil films

1. Resident Evil
2. Apocalypse
The rest I disliked so much that I can’t even remember which ones were which. I absolutely love the resident evil video games, aside from 5 and 6 which were mediocre at best. Thats why I enjoy the first two movies probably as I’m biased in favor of almost anything resident evil. But 5 n 6 of the games is when they went with the action route and ignored what made resident evil special, supposedly after seeing the sales figures of games like Call of Duty. Now since they refocused on survival horror in 7 and the remake of 2 I’m loving them again. I highly recommend playing 7 and the remake of 2. It’s unnecessary to play the previous games to enjoy them, 7 is essentially standalone except some tie ins explored late game. And 2 is from the perspective of two people who have no knowledge of 1 and 0 so it’s fine to not know the background. Def going to buy the remake of 3 when it’s out in a couple weeks, I recommend you do the same if you enjoy video games, especially if you enjoy the horror or survival horror genre. Sorry for the ramble but I’ve had a couple drinks and love this series haha

To be frank - after part 2, I cant tell the difference between any of them

The first 2 are the best by far and are solid action/horror movies that at least sorta attempt to adhere to the source material. The rest of them are objectively bad but can be enjoyed as big dumb action movies.

I actually plan on marathoning them all this Halloween season since I haven't seen most of them since release. But, from what I remember my ranking would be:
1>2>3>5>4>6

1. Resident Evil - a solid 8.5/10
2. Resident Evil: Apocalypse - decent 7/10


3. Resident Evil: Extinction - 4/10
4. Resident Evil: Afterlife - 4/10
5. Resident Evil: Retribution - 4/10
6. Resident Evil: The Final Chapter - 3/10

The first one and Extinction are both average and the better two out of the whole series. The rest of the movies are garbage especially Resident Evil: The Final Chapter
