If you are the type of person that enjoyed the first movie, you will probably like this one even more.  The movie starts to track the video game more closely and introduces the Jill Valentine character from the game.  Jill and Alice make a great combo and the production is higher budget with better special effects and more action than the first movie.  There are a couple of really unique action sequences that I have not seen done before.  The entire key is to accept the premise of the movie and understand that the story and character development is mostly a backdrop to transition between action set pieces.
