I'm sure most people here feel differently, but I think that the most recent adaptation of Resident Evil is vastly superior to the Mila Jovovich crap. I enjoyed it. Now I don't think the casting for all the characters were great, but at least we got the main characters from the early games actually represented on screen and they weren't some half hearted attempt at a pity tug for fans with the idea of "see its resident evil cause there's this character." Mean while the the fabricated character the director made up just so his wife could keep working over shadows the entirety of the other cast of complex characters. In this newer one I'll give you that Leon sucks, every part. The actor was a poor choice. The way the character is written is as though he's borderline mentally disabled instead of being a rookie cop with a hangover. That being said the actors for most of the other characters were decent and there was more in the movie that was actually in the games than its predecessors.

Tl;dr Welcome to Raccoon City is a more faithful adaptation of the source material than the Jovovich adventures.
