Dubbed 'boring, pointless' by some viewers
"Resident Evil on Netflix may be the most boring, pointless garbage I've seen all year, with absolutely nothing in common with its source material," tweeted one viewer. "Its so bad, it makes the Milla Jovovich movies look like absolute works of art in comparison."
Some left confused and in disbelief
"It's like they took an entirely different script and called it Resident Evil. Teen drama with zombies? Wesker is a dad? Insanely terrible dialogue?" wrote another viewer. "This makes Welcome To Raccoon City look like an actual good Resident Evil adaptation. I mean what the actual f-..."
Questionable zombie activity
"Everything works pretty well for Jade hahaha It's so funny," one person responded to the above tweet. "Lickers make a suprise attack on everyone besides her. B4 one attacks her, first it wants to say hi, get to the second base with her and then try to kill her, so that's perfect convenient to her scape."
'Zootopia'
"I don't know anything about the Resident Evil games but I don't think zootopia porn was in them," added somebody else.
Lance Reddick
"I feel bad for Lance Reddick man," one person tweeted. "He's a great actor and obviously tries his best but being cast as Wesker in a Netflix adaption of Resident Evil is being set up to fail."
'Embarrassed'
"I would feel embarrassed if I where capcom right now," wrote another person. "You allowed people to butcher your IP 8 times with these live action adaptions. What's even more embarrassing is that the sonic films got it right twice than all 8 attempts with the RE films....wow."
'Did Capcom sign off on this?'
"[Resident Evil] is Resident Evil in nothing but name. I went in blind and I was still disappointed. Dozed off by episode 2. Excellent performances, just incredibly questionable writing," tweeted somebody else. "Did [Capcom] sign-off on this?"
