in that case, they just suck really bad.
Well, Paul W.S. Anderson did write them all, and directed the first while producing the others which is also a good explanation of why they sucked. The only decent movie the man ever made was the first Mortal Kombat. Ironically, the very reason the second one might have sucked so bad is that he didn't direct it. Then again, he may have been the reason the only RE I'd consider not a complete waste of time was the first one. But then, one of the big problems with the second one was that the script sucked horribly.
