Multiple reviews call Resident Evil the best videogame movie ever

Recent reviews for Zach Cregger's Resident Evil film have begun to roll out, with many praising it as the best video game adaptation ever made. Despite early griping over the exclusion of recognizable characters like Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield, critics have noted that Cregger's direction and storytelling have set a new benchmark for video game movies.

GamesRadar+ awarded it 4 out of 5 stars, while Polygon gave it an impressive 91/100. IGN and IGN both scored it an 8/10, with IGN highlighting the film's thrilling survival horror experience. AV Club, discussing Film, and The Hollywood Reporter all gave it 8/10, with praise for its cleverness, humor, and ability to capture the spirit of the original games while presenting a fresh and original story.

Overall, the reception has been overwhelmingly positive, positioning the film as a standout in the genre.
