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.

Audience Says

Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City reboots the franchise with an action-packed installment that should satisfy fans of the games.

Jake Wilson

The Age (Australia)

This brand of minimalism is harder than it looks: with so much stripped away, everything that remains needs to have the exact right weight. Raccoon City suffers a major loss of momentum around halfway, and never entirely recovers.

Rated: 2.5/5

Doesn't do its own thing, and it does the old thing very badly.

This latest visit to Raccoon City captures the games' spirit but fails to translate that to cinematic thrills.

Rated: 2/5

The story moves at a pretty fast pace not really giving viewers a chance to delve into all the dark secrets of Umbrella, or even enough time to focus on developing any of the characters.

Rated: 6/10

Cinema Crazed

A bang up reboot, one that revels in the inherent terror of the games, in spite of its flaws.

Resident Evil fan here— The movie was good. It just didn't go as the original storyline of the videogames. The actors were kind of misleading to the actual characters. I guess it just for newcomers to the series. All in all, I think it could have been a bit better. They missed so much that was in the games.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Well, I don't really know where to start. This movie does pay more respect to the games than Jovavich series by far. But it seems like every step forward the movie takes it also takes 3 steps backwards. Tons of head scratching things happen regarding some of the characters and some of the plot points
