- Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil is now the best-reviewed movie based on a video game franchise.

Capcom has seen insane success with the Resident Evil franchise lately. With the likes of Resident Evil 4 Remake continuing the series’ trend of exceptional remakes and the recently-released Resident Evil Requiem proving to be yet another hit, the franchise has never been better.
Now, Resident Evil appears to be set for further success through its upcoming film adaptation. The first reviews for the movie are nothing but great.
Why it matters: Other films like the Super Mario Bros. movie have seen much worse critic ratings, so Resident Evil could prove to be something special.
Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil film is already making noise among critics, and it wouldn’t be wrong to call it the best-reviewed movie based on a video game franchise.
At the time of writing, the movie has a score of 96% on Rotten Tomatoes. This is quite interesting, considering how many doubted the upcoming film. Critics appear to have taken a liking to just how well Zach Cregger has portrayed a game-like experience through the film.
Many have praised the film for being just as thrilling a horror experience as recent Resident Evil titles. Others have also praised the movie’s more bizarre elements, appreciating the strange mix of various themes on display.
The Resident Evil film launches on September 18 for audiences worldwide. Following a strong initial reception, it will be interesting to see whether audience reactions align with critic scores.
A movie like Super Mario Bros. split both audiences and critics, so it remains to be seen how Resident Evil will be received. Nonetheless, the early signs are quite promising.
