Resident Evil Welcome To Raccoon City Streaming Service

So, You Watched Welcome to Raccoon City on Streaming, Right?

Let’s be honest. We all did it. It popped up on our favorite streaming service. And, curiosity (or maybe a love for Resident Evil) got the better of us.

I'm going to say something that might be controversial. Are you ready? I kind of... didn't hate it.

Hear Me Out!

Yes, I know. The purists are probably sharpening their pitchforks. They're getting ready to complain about the deviations from the game. About the pacing. About the *everything*.

But, let’s think about this. Video game movies are notoriously… difficult. It's like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole.

Maybe, just maybe, we went into it expecting too much.

My (Slightly) Unpopular Opinion

Welcome to Raccoon City isn’t a masterpiece. It's not going to win any Oscars. But it's also not the absolute worst thing ever committed to film.

Think of it like this. It's a cheesy, slightly over-the-top pizza. It's not gourmet. It's not healthy. But sometimes, you just crave that cheesy goodness.

The film definitely had its moments. The zombie designs were pretty cool. And seeing familiar locations brought a smile to my face. Especially Raccoon City Police Department!

The Charm of Cheesy Horror

Let's be real, a lot of the Resident Evil games are campy. They're full of ridiculous dialogue and over-the-top action. The movie embraced that, to some extent.

I actually chuckled a few times. Was it intentional humor? Maybe. Maybe not. But hey, I was entertained. That's what matters, right?

The acting wasn't Shakespeare, sure. But the actors seemed to be having fun. And their energy was infectious.

Let's Talk About the Source Material

Okay, okay. I know. It took liberties with the story. Characters were different. Events were shuffled around.

But adapting a game for film is tricky. You can't just copy and paste everything. It wouldn't work. Trust me.

I think it tried to cram too much into one movie. It tried to be *Resident Evil 1* and *Resident Evil 2*. That was a mistake.

Would I Watch It Again?

Probably. Late at night. When I'm bored. And craving some cheesy zombie action.

I wouldn't go out of my way to recommend it to everyone. But I also wouldn't actively discourage people from watching it. Unless you are the pure Resident Evil follower.

It's a fun, mindless popcorn flick. Lower your expectations. Embrace the cheese. And you might just enjoy it.
