I liked the movie when it came out and can still enjoy it today. I think the monsters are some of the creepiest in any horror movie. The janitor scene gives me nightmares. However, there was a lot of fan service that didn't need to be included. Yes Pyramid Head is the most recognizable character in the series, but he really served no purpose being in the movie. Also, the design of the nurses being "sexy" doesn't make sense. They were designed that way for James in the second game. That was how he saw them. I think they did a really good job for what they managed to pull off from that movie though. I hope they do well with the new one.

I generally agree, but the sexy nurse critique is hard to take honestly. Even the devs themselves reused the sexy nurse in future games because it became so iconic, even though they didn't make sense for those protagonists necessarily.
