The plot is not as good as the first one, but there are still bright spots

Compared with the first part, "Resident Evil 2" is closer to the game-it can be seen that many elements are in the game "Resident Evil 3" (church, tram, lighter, helicopter, chasing the Lord...) There are also Jill and Card. Los. The prototype of the umbrella scientist and her daughter should be the second Dr. William and Shirley. But despite so many game elements, this film is obviously inferior to the first in narrative: the first one is the case of the heroine's amnesia, she keeps recalling during the escape process, and finally gets the truth; and this one is for me. It feels like the heroine runs around to get people together. . And the plot of the heroine and the chasing master made me extremely speechless.
But the editing of a TV show after Raccoon City was destroyed by the nuclear bomb was very shocking. In my opinion, it is the most exciting part of the whole film. It is also the reason why I scored five stars: the real video of the female anchor of the TV station in exchange for her life was easily said to be yes. The "forgery" and the "truth" are the "nuclear power plant accidents", and Gil and Carlos have become scapegoats, and the real murderer, the umbrella company, has become heroes instead. The media that originally aimed at spreading the truth is actually nothing more than a plaything of power. It is extremely ironic to reverse black and white and help the gang to abuse them!
At the end of the film, Alice and her friends fled again, but obviously, the story does not end there. The umbrella will continue their criminal behavior until they themselves are destroyed.

    The Resident Evil series is also one of my favorite genres. Although the three current ones are imperfect in one way or another, they still cannot hide their excellence! Highly recommend!

    Game clearance popcorn action cool film, basically Milla Jovovich's personal show. Mira's Alice can't be beaten, killed, or poisoned, and her survival talent is full, all the way through the level. In order to make a sequel, the movie always returns to the main plot at the end and talks a little bit about the plot. Most of the rest is just like the game, fighting monsters.
