I've yet to see it. I've never really been interested, just didn't seem to be a good idea ( I am not sure why THAT would stop me, it never has before). Though I am sure I will see it and Requiem eventually.

It would be a good idea to watch em back to back. Surely it doesnt compare to watching Alien/Aliens or Predator/Predator 2, but yeah from what I saw from the trailers...they say Requiem is actually a pretty decent watch.

But...going back to the original, what did the movie actually lack? Paul W Anderson's genius in narration? A script which nobody cared for? Or characters who made sunday mass actually seem much better?

Even the die-hard and loyal AvP gamers didnt have much to shout about AvP. Exactly what didn't click with them?

***Bump***

Anyone else wanna take a crack at AvP? If not, we can move on to the dissection of another fun movie.:D

I didn't hate it

I thought it was good. The trouble with the series was, Alien and Aliens set such high precedents that the rest can't live up to the expectations.

Indeed. Isnt that true for all franchises? No wonder we are almost always disappointed with the sequels. Anyway, I thought AvP was mildly entertaining, and had its fair share of atmosphere too. It will remain one of my guilty pleasures (for being a hardcore fan of both franchises).

Hmm...moving on, Doc mentioned recently about a flick which also had its fair share of acclaim and criticism. It was a brooding and gothic take on the infamous legend (and the book by Washington Irving), and it makes for quality entertainment during Halloween. So, even after having such stellar performances by Johnny Depp, Christopher Walken and Miranda Richardson...why do the critics love to bash


Sleepy Hollow?


"OFF WITH THE HEADS!"

Oops...I mean...bring forth the bashing!!:D

I really liked Sleepy Hollow! The setting was great, the acting was above average, and the story was fun even if it did change the legend around a bit. My only complaint was that there needed to be more of the horseman.

I have no complaints with this one either [ i'm very easy to please ]. I thought it had much atmosphere and another great performance from Depp.

I also liked Sleepy Hollow. Although my opinion maybe bias, because Depp is probably my favorite actor.

I'm easy to please as well, for the most part, and I love this film. The performances were good; Depp was great and the casting of Walken was inspired. It had a wonderfully dark look. I think its a very good film.
