Resident Evil: Retribution...Honestly i had a crap ton of fun watching this one. It started with the reverse opening sequence and that awesome song and it just kept on going. The return of familiar faces via cloning was fun...addition of Ada Wong and Leon who i know from RE2 was cool...even if Leons actor was pretty terrible. Kevin Durand had an awesome scene. All the fight scenes were over the top in good ways. I had a lot of fun here.

Resident Evil the Final Chapter...In a word...kind of disappointing. Mostly due to the fact that the previous film leaves us with Alice, Jill, Leon and Ada getting ready to face hordes of undead and various mutations in the ruined city of Washington DC. Then this film opens up with Alice emerging from underground...lone survivor presumably of that battle which we never see and none of the characters are mentioned again. Wesker apparently betrayed her and went back to the bad side. It just felt like something was missing and it was hard to recoup from that throughout the film. Sad because i liked the return of Isaacs and them going back to the Hive and Raccoon City (now a giant crater). There were parts that were cool but replacing familiar long standing characters with brand new ones in the final chapter just made everything less impactful. Imagine that last assault with Alice, Claire, Chris, Leon, Ada, Jill, and K Mart. I wouldve loved that movie but this one felt less than. It was still enjoyable in all the typical RE film ways...fun action, cool monsters, stuff like that.

Final ranking... Resident Evil Apocalypse Resident Evil Resident Evil Retribution Resident Evil Afterlife Resident Evil the Final Chapter Resident Evil Extinction I'm glad you were able to watch and complete the RE franchise. Also, to see that you liked it relatively similar to how I appreciated each film. Good to know my recommendation numbers aren't too far off these days ha.
I do think it's interesting, that "Resident Evil: Retribution" is often the most differently rated movie of the bunch. That and "RE: Apocalypse". It's either like one of your top faves, or one of your top hated sequels. You and I seem to be on the higher side of liking those two films.
