AVP was a fun movie I thought, 50,000 times better than fuckin FVJ.

[doctor satan]

Wow more PG 13 horror! I can't wait! AVP, Resi 3, & crap remakes of Asian horror films, Hollywood really is spoiling us

[Preacher]

I'd go watch it on a rainy sunday when i've got fuck all else to do. Thought the first one was what i expected it to be - OK but your not gonna remember it.

Oh and I actually thought open water was a great film.

[horror_fan_Nick]

This is a movie that doesn't need a sequel. I didn't see AVP and I have no urge too, I tend to lean more towards slasher flicks and action packed zombie movies anyways.

They should work on different vs. movies

I wish they would hurry up and do "Helloween"

Micheal vs. Pinhead, heck it can't hurt. :rolleyes:

I disagree with you 100%.

At least neither Freddy nor Jason sold out hardcore like fucking Predator did.

"Oooo, humans! We want to be friends! We'll have lots of little preda-human babies and hold hands and destroy the evil little Aliens together, as one!"

[Yellow Jacket]

I thought the first AvP was enjoyable, but like Preacher said, easily forgettable. All I have to say is that AvP 2 should be rated R. Why? Because all of the other Alien and Predator films were R and these two bad pieces of shit (I mean that in a good way) can spread some serious blood and slime.

BTW- I thought Freddy vs. Jason was 10,000 times better than AvP!

[persuasian70]

Alien vs. Predator could have been so much better. Although it could have been worse I guess. I hope Mr Anderson doesn't direct the second one. I am not a big fan of his. I thought FvJ was about equal to AvP in entertainment value. Now if you want to do a vs. movie, how about a heavyweight matchup like

Michael Myers vs. Jason Vorhees


P.S. - Open Water - hated it with a passion (I would have rather seen Hasselhoff do Shakespeare for an teo hours.

I completely agree with you.Had the filmmakers stuck to storylines laid down by the Dark Horse comics this would've been an infinately better film.

They dropped the ball...big time!

I agree that they should have just stuck to the comic but for some reason the writers or the director wanted to stay as far away from the video game and the comic book.
Once again, why?

Next time I'll say not needed. And I'm not surprised that it made that much, I mean it was PG-13, all of the little tinny-boppers could go see it. Thats like if a Jason or Halloween movie was made that was PG-13, it would make a killing at the box office b/c it would have some hip cool cast like Scream and maybe some famous rapper. Point is if its PG-13 and its got some kind of established fan base it will do well thanks to the little kids.

[The Flayed One]

I watched AvP for one reason: to see some Predators and some Xenomorphs. It fulfilled that requirement nicely. There were points in the storyline that made me feel ill (as noted by other posters) but as long as I didn't pay attention to the whole friendship thing, I got some decent eye candy. It wasn't a waste of two hours of my life. If I would have shelled out $$$ for it, I might have been pissed. That's why it's good to have buddies with horror DVD collections. You can take turns buying/renting mistakes & then split the cost;)

[DarkIcon]

You want to know why they raped this franchise AND made a ton of money AND are gonna rape it again? (and make even more money)

Oh come on, THINK about it...

You all knew this movie was gonna suck the INSTANT you found out it was PG-13. Every piece of information you found out about it made you like it less and less But there's the key:

You saw it anyway! In the theater or on DVD (or both!)... you spent your (or someone else's) money on this crap.

And that is how/why Hollywood gets away with this shit. They know that people will spend the money anyway. They know they've got the fans by the balls (ovaries?) when it comes to these popular franchises... and they're right. They DO have us by the reproductive organs because we cannot resist spending our money even though we KNOW we're getting Grade-F Bullshit.

Yeah, you have a small percentage of people who will keep their money in their pockets out of protest, but they aren't nearly enough for Hollywood to take notice. So go ahead... say you're not going to see the sequal to AvP. Say you'll never rent it or never spend a DIME on that (presumed) garbage. Guess what? 80% of you are liars, and the other 20% don't matter.

That's why shit like this happens.

And yes, I'll be seeing it when it comes out because I'm Hollywood's bitch.

[Zero]

DarkI is totally right about this - - - its the sad state of current hollywood.

back in the studio days - 30s-40s, the big studio chiefs wanted money - but they also wanted to outdo each other - bigger, better, more awards, more acclaim - so they'd take big risks and let directors push the envelope. then the studios collapsed and in the 60s and 70s there was such a loose concept of 'cinema' that all kinds of interesting directors emerged to create provocative indie films (mainstream like Kubrick, scorsese, coppola, and in horror, romero, craven, carpenter, etc.) But now the movies are run by mega-corporations who care only about share prices. . . a sad state of affairs, enough technical skill to render anyone's dream vividly real - but no one is dreaming any more.

[Prelude95Si]

I hate to admit it, but DarkI does have a point. And he's right, I am one of those people bitching about this movie but I will probably still go see it b/c I'm a die hard Alien and Predator fan.

That's pretty stupid, actually.

Why not? Just don't put AVP anywhere in the title or market it as any relation to AVP and it could be its own movie. Maybe?

[Vodstok]

I am proud to say i didnt spend ANYONES money to see avp. It was on on demand for free as part of a free hbo weekend.

I will say that i was personally offended by the existance of this piece of shit. It borrowed teeny little pieces from the comic book, but all of the shallow surface shit. Paul anderson needs to stay the hell away from horror, he is a crappy action director, and a shitty horror director. Granted, I like the original RE, but it has little replay value, and i couldnt be bothered with the second one.

He doesnt make horror movies, he makes "horror themed" action movies.

That i can think of there have only been 2 worthy horror action movies, Aliens and Dog Soldiers. My hook into horror was seeing Alien when i was 5; needless to say i have a deep personal vested interest in the franchise. Predator was also an early favorite, wlthough it was a sci fi action, not horror.

and i maintain:

WHY pg-13 out of 2 long running r-rated series?!?!

I hate Paul anderson. He should get into a car accident with Uwe Boll and never wake up.

Yeah, me neither. Downloaded it...

Another 2 hours i will never get back.:rolleyes:

[VampiricClown]

The first one sucked donkey balls in my opinion. I hated it all the way around. I enjoyed Freddy Vs. Jason though. Possibly because I liked the characters better. I never really cared for the Alien or Predator series. Plus, it had way too much human involvment, and a horrid storyline.

Lance Henrikson has been in some awful shit, but this is the first thing i think he should be embarresed about.

[Miss Olivia]

It's funny you said that about Alien, Vod. That's the exact same thing that happened to me. I was pretty disappointed in AVP, the story was oh-so-slightly retarded, but I can still hope for the best with the new one. Disappointment is inevitable in most cases, but you never know. I'll go see it in the theater if it looks the least bit promising, and I won't have to spend my own money.
It's great to be a woman.:D

[Angelakillsluts]

I was dragged to the first one and there is no way in hell I'd go to see the second OH MY GOD alien vs predator was so bad... I completely forgot about seeing it until I say this thread, I guess I had blocked it from memory.

I love Lance Henriksen, he's one of my favorite horror actors. So I was like "I've never seen the alien movies, the predator movie was hmm o.k I guess but lance henriksen is in it, so it shouldn't be that bad. I was so wrong... and I had no expectations for this movie, I just wanted to not have to not be subjected to something beyond horrible.

Actually the director said that he wanted to try and stay away from both the comic and the games as much as possible, that was his reason for the title Alien vs Predator and also why he put it in current time.

Humpf, maybe the chestburster from the end of AVP is going to to hide somewhere, grow into adult size and then get into a killing spree inside the Predator ship...

Now where have I seen this before, only done 100 times better?

Further proof that he is a moron. he DID borrow from the comic (the whole predator/main character relationship, the fight with the queen, etc... blah) and none of the really good stuff. Paul Anderson suffers from "enthusiasm without talent", and really seems to lack enthusiasm. All of his shit is soulless.

borrowing from either the game or the comic direclty would have been a very good move, both have good stories. But then again, this is why most comic and ganme movies suck anyway, they usually have nothign to do with the actual original story. Whihc i dont understand, because it would actually be easier to simply adapt someoneelse's plot. they save you 80% of the grunt work...

Agreed! Why change what works?
