Did reviewers see the same movie as me? There were no characters or monsters from the games, it was just the story of some whiny idiot who ends up getting everyone around him killed. Guess Rotten Tomatoes only likes video game movies with barely any connections to the source material.

Cregger should have just stuck with making original movies instead of doing an in-name only Resident Evil movie.

As long as they don't advertise the movie as adaptation of specific game xy I don't see what's wrong with a good score if the movie is good (in their opinion). The reviews should mention not to expect the movie to be close to the game franchise, though. But would be weird to say "awesome movie but has nothing to do with the games 1/10"

It's just so hypocritical of Rotten Tomatoes. Give low ratings to the Mario movies because of the many references to the source material, but give high ratings to a movie that has no characters from the games and very little nods to the games. I think Rotten Tomatoes is out of touch with what gamers want in video game movies.
