The game was of no interest to me, but I enjoyed watching Milla Jovovich running around, and the slice-n-dice scene was pretty memorable.

I was about to bring this movie up as a counter-example, but I guess the opinions on this are very much split.

The last entry into the franchise was abysmal. I shouldn't be this bored by a zombie movie!

Ah, that's the folly! I wasn't even really aware of the franchise (movie-wise).

As with many other franchises, the follow-ups aren't worth watching.

It's always refreshing to see movie directors make a great movie that has a potential for mediocre sequels, but not give in to that temptation (e.g. Matrix).
