Resident Evil: Retribution ("Phoned-In" Movie Review)

Seems like everyone was "phoning-in" this movie, so I "phoned-in" my review!

Rated R for sequences of strong violence throughout

I loved your meta concept! Keep doing things like this to keep things fresh. I like the "phoned-in review" style.

Thanks! I'll definitely keep that in mind. Still, I hope it's a long time before I sit through another flick worthy of the "phoned-in" treatment!

I agree, I enjoyed the phoned-in review. You should do that to all the terrible movies you review. (I'm not saying you only review terrible movies JSYK.)

So maybe any movies with a quality score under 6.0?

Yeah, that sounds about right.

I wouldn't go by numbers, but by just how angry you are when you leave the theater, and only if it's the laziness that so angered you, like this "movie".

I personally dropped out after I read a similar review of the previous film. Parts 1-3 were good as their own stories but I think it's high-time that the saga ends.

We've got everything from the first three:
1. Origins- CHECK
2. Adaption of most famous event in gaming history (outside of FF7)- CHECK
3. superhero film- CHECK

All that's missing is the epilogue... which they seem to want to hold off on.

uh oh. I haven't heard the review yet (it's on my phone to listen to today), but seeing this posting isn't encouraging. I'm guessing this is one that should be saved for a $1 Redbox rental, and only if I have a $.50 coupon or rent one get one free?
