Disappointed, but still enjoyed

Ok, so I'm a huge fan of the REsident Evil Movies and a huge Milla Jojovich fan, but I was disappointed in this installment of the series. There was no depth to the characters and the ridiculous morphing of the undead was distracting. A lot of the scenes were shot entirely for 3D and you could tell. Those people who die, die quickly and lamely. But then again, we don't really know them, so it doesn't matter. The emotion and depth is missing. Also, I'm disappointed with Paul W. S. Anderson. Lack of plot, and the redundancy on effects, but the similarities of some of the T Cell Creatures from other movies like Silent Hill was not so great.
Good points: Milla and Ali kick butt, the villain is great, there is some great funny moments. I still enjoyed the movie, and some people are gonna love it, but don't expect anything like the last 3 movies, it really doesn't hold it's own.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Very Dissapointed

First, let me tell you that I really love the entire cast of this movie, which is one of the many reasons I hated this movie. They were mostly either miscast or just bad. The only one's I thought were great were Christine Barabnski, Amanda Syfried and Stellan Skarrsgard.
I love musicals and this is one of the worst. Phyllida Lloyd is a stage director, not a movie director. There was no choreography, which Abba Music screams for and there was no movement. There was no use of the beautiful island (and please save the weather excuse, it's Greece, not Mayasia). Her concept of using scenery was to position an actor in front of the ocean and let them sing. Watch SOund of Music, watch Finian's Rainbow, watch Brigadoon... they should have been moving. Also, the sound stages and green screen, wow! he production quality was like watching a student film.
I feel badly for Pierce Brosnan... he shouldn't have been singing. And I love Meryl Streep, but she's so over the top and I've never seen her over the top.
I would only recommned that you see this movie with a group of friends, and all of you know that it's horrible going in, then you might have fun.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
