Lol, I think you misunderstand the meaning of universal Ani. If it does not apply to everyone then it is not universal. To put an end to this, just state what your definition of a successful movie is, since I mentioned Resident evil you can make it specific to action movies. Then state what you would consider to be an unsuccessful action movie and then based on those two things tell us whether you think the Resident Evil franchise was successful or not based entirely on your measure of success.
