Resident Evil is the best videogame movie because Bryan sucks

Resident Evil has proven to be the best videogame movie to date, thanks to its lovably inept protagonist, Bryan. Unlike skilled heroes like Leon or Chris, Bryan is a tired dork trying to complete his last job of the night. He lacks firearms expertise and common sense, making him a more relatable everyman for Resident Evil fans. Bryan's mistakes are not frustrating but rather empathetic, as most would react similarly in such a situation.

His blunders, such as lying about tire chains, misfiring at t-Virus victims, and getting stranded, add to the movie's humor and authenticity. Reshoots Zach Cregger's decision to keep the original heroes intact, making Bryan a more accurate representation of a Resident Evil player. The film successfully captures the essence of the games, offering a unique and enjoyable horror experience.
