Paul W.S. Anderson deserves credit for the script (especially the “raven” and “last joint” scenes), while Russell Mulcahy deserves it for the atmosphere and fast pace. The only element that doesn’t fit the genre template perfectly is Milla Jovovich – her boobs are too small for that.

A different director for the third time, a different approach for the third time. Anderson's video game look and Witt's flamboyant jerking off over his own video have been replaced by Mulcahy’s honest craftsmanship with a post-apocalyptic world that admittedly can't match the intensity of Romero's ancestors. However, the film pleases through the unobtrusive detachment of a pure B-movie that relies on a straightforward plot without complicated ties to Umbrella, brisk action with sympathetically eye-catching CGI special effects (the bird attack), and solid work with horror suspense (the ending). Milla is still as stiff as the board she has on her chest, but the rest makes up for it quite well, so now and then a sympathetic catchphrase or a proper rough pose comes through. It’s a pleasant old-school film that has me surprisingly excited for the fourth installment.

A B-movie that pulls out all the stops. No shortage of inspiration from more successful titles, but let’s admit it, the atmosphere from Mad Max was really good for Resident and the bloodthirsty crows (The Birds) were at very least powerful. The action scenes are perhaps the best... of the whole trilogy (because the sun is shining and it’s easier to see through a hole in a head ;-) and the zombie with the sunglasses is darn cool. And Milla is a still really foxy, so she’s something to watch. Russell Mulcahy gave us a pleasant surprise and brought the series to a satisfying end. Well, although... We’ll see. ;-)

It’s no genre milestone happening, but at least it’s a solid ride unlike the second one. Unfortunately, the ending is traditionally awkward (the concept of the superhero finale), but, there is an acceptable sense of humor (solid lines and a few delightful gore scenes). The atmosphere is decent, the zombies are brutally merciless, and Milla Jovovich is still as ugly as ever. At least it is not as stupid and action-lacking as the previous sequel. A decent standard within the genre.

B-movie AF and the best RE as far as I’m concerned. The atmosphere of the desert is great and the scene with the birds and the battle in the streets of Las Vegas force me to give it a fourth star. The fight with the main villain, on the other hand, ends almost before it begins, which is a shame. Also, the ending leaves the door open for a fourth part and I’m quite looking forward to it.
