3/10
"Marks a departure from the original film in terms of structure, scope, and pacing. Considering that the original was actually watchable, this is not an entirely good thing. "  Freeze Dried Movies  Brian Juergens

D
"Witt can’t even match Anderson’s tremendously limited range, and uses “Apocalypse” as his calling card for a future career that should never come to fruition at any costs."  FilmJerk.com  Brian Orndorf

"RE2's best reiteration, Alice's identity crisis, is refitted here to extend the game."  PopMatters  Cynthia Fuchs

1.5/4
"Makes Tomb Raider look like an epic."  Movie Boeuf  David N. Butterworth

5/10
"There are times when the film, just like the original, shows that it could be something more"  Draxblog Movie Reviews  Dragan Antulov

1/4
"Creatively bankrupt trash made by a committee of hacks who don't know the first thing about generating suspense, frights, or cohesive storytelling."  DustinPutman.com  Dustin Putman

C-
"Like a cinematic Twinkie, enjoyably diverting enough to sustain some action film fans until something more fulfilling comes along."  FilmJerk.com  Edward Havens

D
"It is approximately just as loud, gross and stupid as its predecessor was, and you get to see Milla Jovovich's boobs. End of review."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

2/4
"[An] elaborate gory gaming gimmick. The feisty energy and revolving recklessness cannot overcome the absurdity and superficial aspect of this unfocused hedonistic horror show"  Movie Eye  Frank Ochieng

F
"One big, stinking bomb...a drearily repetitive collection of tepid battle scenes, thrown together with little skill and less imagination."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

1.5/4
"continues the story with increasingly diminishing results"  Q Network Film Desk  James Kendrick

2/10
"Un autre exemple navrant qui permet à une initiative déjà peu reluisante de se rapprocher un peu plus du fond du baril."  Panorama  Jean-François Vandeuren

3/10
"The movie reflects superficial elements of the games without going near the reasons for the games' true appeal."  ReelTalk Movie Reviews  Jeffrey Chen

4/10
"...one of the most annoying, redundant and uninteresting movies of the year."  JoBlo's Movie Emporium  JoBlo

3/5
"So, if you’re into horror-action films, this is a good bet. If you’re into cerebral movies about the human condition, you’ll want to find another way to spend a couple hours."  7M Pictures  Kevin Carr

C-
"Rarely have so many bad accents been on display, from the wandering German of the evil Major Cain to could-that-be-Russian? of two soon to be chomped soldiers."  FilmStew.com  Larry Carroll

2.5/5
"It's not good, but it's enjoyable on a purely visceral level. It is an improvement over the first film in every possible factor."  Goatdog's Movies  Michael W. Phillips, Jr.

2/4
"Marginally better than the original, but viewers who are not acquainted with the video game will probably feel unimpressed."  Aisle Seat  Mike McGranaghan

C-
"There are a lot of "ewwwwww" moments."  Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies  Nell Minow

2.5/4
"Alexander Witt's campy Resident Evil: Apocalypse. may be brain dead, but it’s nonetheless also heartily, feverishly alive."  Slant Magazine  Nick Schager

2/5
"A série Resident Evil também se transformou em um morto-vivo. E já está devorando os cérebros de seus espectadores."  Cinema em Cena  Pablo Villaca

3/5
"Dumb, loud, and ludicrous in the extreme, and I actually enjoyed it."  Film Threat  Pete Vonder Haar

5/5
"Lives up (or down) to every possible expectation and is possibly the best trashy movie since...well, since the original 'Resident Evil'."  eFilmCritic.com  Peter Sobczynski

2.5/5
"The best thing is that director Witt actually manages, amid the chaos, to centre on the characters and create people we can cheer for."  Shadows on the Wall  Rich Cline

"Resident Evil: Apocalypse is utterly shameless whereas its predecessor tried to play things with a straight face... you can practically see the popcorn "butter" running off the screen."  Projection Booth  Rob Humanick

C+
"Less a zombie movie than a big-screen gaming experience."  Seattle Post-Intelligencer  Sean Axmaker

C+
"... the latest cinematic proposition that apocalyptic disaster doesn't bring out the worst in people, only the stupidest."  Seattle Post-Intelligencer  Sean Axmaker

0.5/4
"An awful sequel to an awful film."  Film Freak Central  Walter Chaw
