In the greater scheme of REs, this was not quite as godawful as the first one, but nowhere as good as Apocalypse or Extinction. And I think you understand the values of "good" I'm using here.
This movie raised so many questions I know I will never have answers for: Where does the makeup come from? How did Ali Larter contract the alarming pore-removal filter that Milla had in Extinction? Where the hell did the Executioner get his boots? But most importantly, who the hell told Shawn Roberts* to act like Agent Smith? Who told him he could? That was the most embarrassing piece of cinema I've seen in some time. Everyone watching him was embarrassed. Somewhere out there, Hugo Weaving is embarrassed and he doesn't know why.
( I'm cutting for spoilers, as if this movie had a plot that could possibly be spoiled. )
*The high moment of his career appears to be falling into a coma after kissing Anna Paquin in the first X-Men.
