With the teasing finale of a desolated Raccoon City, that first film left open the perfect window for a sequel. Milla Jovovich showed she could lead a movie like this as Alice offering a vulnerable anchor for the audience who could also kung-fu kick a zombie dog into oblivion.

Since the Playstation One, each game has been the primary reason why I upgraded from one system to the next.
