“You can tell a lot about a zombie movie by the quality of the undead. There are filmmakers who take the rotting flesh and exploding brains seriously (the recent "Dawn of the Dead" remake is a good example), and there are directors who pour oatmeal on the heads of a few dozen extras, instruct them to stagger toward the camera and move on to their next project. "Resident Evil: Apocalypse" belongs in the latter category, providing zombies that are somehow less convincing than the ones from Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video. With a horrible script and only semi-interesting characters, the movie will be particularly frustrating for fans of the Resident Evil video game franchise.”

But zombies themselves are not interesting, because all they do is stagger and moan. As I observed in my review of the first film, "they walk with the lurching shuffle of a drunk trying to skate through urped Slushees to the men's room."
