Game/Film Deviations

I notice my discusion entry here has been deleted, so I can only presume that someone disagreed. However aren't we suposed to respond to discusion and decide whether any changes are a good idea rather than flat out silencing it? Maybe I missed a reply before it was removed, I don't know and its rather frustrating. I was basicly asking whether the article would have use of a section that high lights the masive contridictions and diversions from its game source. Its not as if I blazed in and started mindlessly altering the article, and to have my input removed like this is realy annoying. So, a short list of game/film deviations? Yes, No? Why?

Go for it, Resident Evil (film) and Resident Evil: Apocalypse both have such a section. But I rather like the word differences rather than deviations myself. -TheHande 12:43, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the links to the ResEvil films, they were useful to base the table on and makes it more consistant with other articles. I've started a bit, may add more latter (wish the short list i put here in discusion wasn't removed, woulda helped). Anyone feel free to correct and add stuff. (What am I saying, this is wiki, duh...) UnknownSquid 00:39, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

0_o Its gone again...and no mention of the deleteion here. If someone disagrees with what I'm saying I soding wish you'd at least say so. I didn't spend an hour on that just for it to be anoymously deleted. Thank you very much! Fine, whatever. I'm not going to try to write that out again. This has been a big waste of time. -_- UnknownSquid 01:55, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Plot

Could someone please expand the plot section to maybe two or three paragraphs. Of course it should not be too long, but right now it is only a couple of lines. So if anyone has good knowledge of what the film's plot is about, then please edit that section! thx.Comitmanto 09:41, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not adviceable, at least not until the movie comes out. This way we can tell which pieces of info are BS (ones without source) and once the movie comes out (hopefully) enough people have seen it so they can recognise made up information for themselves. This is the reason why I deleted any unsourced info relating to the plot a while back. -TheHande 19:50, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'd help..but I haven't seen it yet.. - E meZxX 10:02, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Its out in Aussie now. I have expanded it, though I read up on the net a little to refresh my memory of all the details. It is all correct though. Valet5 14:17, 13 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

American Release

One part of this article says it gets released on December 8th, then another part says it's been delayed. Will this movie be in theaters Friday or not?

I've not heard anything about it after Dec. 8th. It's quite irritating. The S 00:05, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hitomi

"Hitomi" was the guy in yellow who fought Helena. "Hitomi" couldn't have fit with any other character. Zack fought with Max. -- Casiyoda 19:27, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wait, am I misunderstanding you? Your saying hitomi is a guy? Er, No. No she's not... (edit) I apologise. I see what you were saying. For the film makers to change the genders of characters is really takeing the piss in my oppinion. --UnknownSquid 12:31, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Critical Reception

Shouldn't there be a critique response or 'audience reception' section? Although I didn't watch the movie itself, I saw the trailer which I thought was terrible and absolutely abysmal - at first I thought the movie was just a lame excuse to capitalise on the lucrative DOA series...I was hoping to find more on what critics said about it but IT WASN'T THERE!! T_T

I find it funny how people form such strong opinions on movies they've never seen. I don't know why there's no critical receptions section. The fact the film has only had a theatrical release in a few countries might be the reason. -TheHande 07:53, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Heh. I've watched it and it deserved all the bad rep it's got. Believe me. --Dez26 20:41, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Errors section?

I think an errors section is a bit much. This is a highly fictional pulpish movie based on a video game.

To wit: the Land Before Time article doesn't have an "errors" section, detailing how in fact dinosaurs cannot talk, or form strong-cross species emotional attachments, or save the entire dinosaur village from destruction in just under two hours. Detruncate 11:12, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The sections: Game differences and references, Trivia and Errors were split into their separate sections to make the info therein more accessible. I can see why you might want it removed, in fact, it only has only one entry and it's a rather non-notable piece of trivia that it might be better at home at IMDb, hmm... okay, I'll remove it. -TheHande 06:16, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Plot

Woohaa! At one point the plot section was too small and now, apparently, it's too big. I may rewrite it if I have the time. -TheHande 06:20, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
