	Author	Review
United States	Joe Neumaier New York Daily News	"Though this series has had its highlights, this new one is not one of them.(...) Rating: ★ (out of five)"	NEG
United Kingdom	William Thomas Empire	"More than ever, it feels like time to give it a rest and try something else. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Robert Abele Los Angeles Times	"As always, Milla Jovovich's game face is admirable, but the rest of the sequel is more of the same: zombies, slaughter and hyperviolent sci-fi"	NEG
United States	Joe Leydon Variety	"A haphazard patchwork of outtakes from previous 'Resident Evil' pictures"	NEG
United States	Jim Vejvoda IGN	"[It] is more of the same but a bit better than past sequels & feels more like a vid game"	NEU
United States	Drew Hunt Chicago Reader	"There's decidedly less here than meets the eye. For all its sleek stylization, Anderson's feverish editing minimizes the value of any single image"	NEG
United States	Tasha Robinson AV Club	"The acting is sometimes shockingly bad, but generally the script doesn’t ask much of the actors (...) It accomplishes what it sets out to do."	NEU
