Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil<\/u><\/a> is out today, and it’s already the highest-rated video game movie of all time on Rotten Tomatoes.<\/p>\n

The scores are in, and at least as far as the review-aggregating website is concerned, the latest shot at a live-action adaptation of Capcom’s beloved survival horror series has received the best reaction of any game movie to date. Resident Evil, which was directed by Weapons’ Cregger and stars Austin Abrams, boasts<\/u><\/a> a 96% critics’ rating at the time of this story’s publication, placing it multiple percentage points above a shortlist of other well-received adaptations, including Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (86%<\/u><\/a>), Werewolves Within (86%<\/u><\/a>), and The Angry Birds Movie 2 (72%<\/u><\/a>).<\/p>\n

Video games have a long history of what has been deemed by many to be mediocre releases. Although many of those \u2014 including 2001’s Tomb Raider<\/u><\/a> and 1993’s Super Mario Bros.<\/u><\/a> \u2014 arrived early in the industry’s life, recent years have had their fill of poorly received projects, too. Both<\/u><\/a> Five Nights at Freddy’s movies<\/u><\/a>, despite pulling in plenty of love from audiences, failed to impress critics, and 2024’s Borderlands<\/u><\/a> fell just 11 places short of being the worst-rated video game movie of all time. What we’re saying is that it’s not exactly been stiff competition for Resident Evil, but don’t let that dampen its impact.<\/p>\n
