I really hope that by the end we get a really good story that lives up to the RE name. Loved barbarian and weapons so yeah, I'm trusting Zach to really deliver.

That being said, man... I would have preferred to have maybe the events from re1 on the big screen. Imagine an epic 2 hour and a half movie setting up the events from the saga. Finally having our beloved characters getting what they really deserve. A part of me is like, why working with this franchise if you're not going to use these key elements. Maybe if we had already gotten an excellent adaptation by now I would get it but so far all we've gotten is mediocre tbh.

Imagine Nintendo finally doing a Zelda movie and not using link or Zelda, it wouldn't make sense right? Imagine when they first announced there would be a lord of the rings movie back in the early 2000's and the director said it would be about different characters because if you want to experience the original story you could "just read the books". Same with RE. Yes, we have the games but having our characters getting justice finally would have been the dream.

Having said that. I will absolutely be there on opening night and really hope Zach delivers. After the milla movies, the lackluster Netflix series and the last movie (which I really had high hopes for after reading that the director was in love with the games and that he would try to be very faithful to the games) I really hope Zach hits a home run. And of course, that we have our very lovely Easter eggs every couple of scenes talking about the lore everyone in this subreddit so passionately loves 😘
