Exactly. There's a lot to be said for movies that are just escapist entertainment, which is what the resident evil movies are. It's a game series brought to the screen that you can slap on and see some cool stuff happening.

That's a perfectly valid form of film. Lots of people like that kind of movie (including myself as long as that isn't all I have to watch), and it's popular for that very reason.

It's exactly that kind of movie that he specializes in.
