I enjoyed the first Resident Evil movie, so I was looking forward to seeing the sequel. I wasn't expecting for it to be as good as the first, but even so I was fairly disappointed with it overall. The dialogue was pretty lousy, the plotlines seemed unorganized and were sequenced in strange ways, and some things were either left unexplained or were explained almost entirely at the end instead of revealing bits and pieces throughout. Some of the action sequences were fun to watch, although I was very annoyed by the choice of camera effects for the groups of zombies walking around. And if you get annoyed by fight scenes where you can hardly tell what is going on, then you will probably hate this movie. The story was pretty weak overall, partly because the purpose of what was going on during the movie was somewhat unclear, and partly because most of the information was told through multiple series of flashbacks. In most cases, the frequent use of flashbacks is a sign of immature screenwriting. There will probably be a third installment,
If you're wanting a good zombie movie, I recommend "28 Days Later" or "Dawn of the Dead."

as the movie ends with a new plot forming, much like at the end of the first.
