Re: Alien vs. Predator Requeim
Anyone else seen this?
I'll give a full review in a little while. But I'd like to hear some opinions first anyways. Overall it was just what I expected it to be.

Re: Alien vs. Predator Requeim
Yeah, both movies do a very bad job of making the Alien a frightening figure. Partly because there's no need to give a fuck about the people they kill, and because you're really just waiting for the Predator, which will take care of the aliens one way or another. I don't know how to fix that problem though. On Earth, it's not like you could have the aliens win...
I would say both AVPs are worth the time, but neither are worth the money.
If the studio would spend money on a different planet or space station setting, wait for a good script, and hire a good sci-fi director an AVP film could be the best sci-fi/slasher film of any year. But they instead make the cheapest AVP they can, and bring in a modest profit, ripping off the die-hard audience that knows it will hate the movie before it begins.
I was surprised to see that blonde chick bite the dust. I thought she would make for sure. She was hot, and not that much of a slut!

Re: Alien vs. Predator Requeim
^ Except this one had classic bad teen slasher flick spliced in with it. Perhaps it was more exciting, Pred-alien was kinda cool, but in many ways it was worse because the heros aren't worth rooting for. Put an old A-lister in one of these franchises, like a Bruce Willis or a Sam Jackson or a Harrison Ford, and that could change. But who's gonna root for a nobody over an Alien that's doomed in the first place?

Re: Alien vs. Predator Requeim
The problem with the AvP films is the predator. The alien franchise was a classy movie series, yes it had its weaker entries, but blending it in with the predator franchise just turns into into a sfx showreal and looses all the good stuff from the originals.

Re: Alien vs. Predator Requeim
Predator one is fucking amazing. The 2nd one may blow, but so does Alien Ressurection. Although I agree the AvP's have not followed in the Alien 'style' of movie, and that is a problem.
Re: Alien vs. Predator Requeim
It's nice popcorn flick.
Just a bunch of action, but this time around you slightly care about some of the characters that die. The aliens are dog meat and the Predator kicks fuckin' ass.
