i just do NOT get the arguments with this .....
it's SET AT NIGHT YOU DOLTS!
it's SUPPOSED TO BE FRIKKING DARK!!!
if everyone got off it's back because of that, then they would enjoy it as much as the first one, because i think it's enjoyable ..... and the hospital scene still gives me the jimmy rustles!!!

It's not the worst of either franchise, I prefer it to
- Alien 3
- Alien: Resurrection
- AVP
- Predators
AVP: Requiem is at it's worst fun, The maternity ward segment went too far though

You seem to forget I hate the first one too. Also, I understand darkness, but even in darkness, we the audience should be able to see what is happening. Visual medium is different from audio in that you have to show, don't tell. |

It's funny that this is the film that gets complaints over me inducting considering what happens in the film. |

I still have a hard time getting past the premise that there were pyramids in Antarctica from the first movie.

Fun fact: While sick with some sort of flu-like disease, I watched half of this movie with the language switched to French before I somehow realized I wasn't watching it in English.
...
I did wonder why the little kid kept calling his hunting father 'papa' in such a weird tone that I assume wouldn't fall under 'tough hunting dad cliche' approval.

It's weird... I was so incredibly let down by Alien VS. Predator... and yet I liked AVP: Requiem. Don't get me wrong, it is in no way a 'good' movie - it unabashedly steals from Aliens - but I found it enjoyable in its over-the-top, grotesque fashion.
For me, I think the ranking goes (across the franchises):
1) Alien
2) Aliens
3) Predator
4) Alien3 (Assembly Cut)
5) Predator 2
6) Predators
7) Prometheus
8) Alien Resurrection
9) AVP: Requiem
10) AVP
I almost feel badly putting Prometheus as low as I did... it is a beautiful film in terms of cinematography/design/score... it's just a shame that it's such a poorly constructed script replete with mind-bogglingly stupid characters.

AVP and AVP: Requiem Hmmm... interesting ranking. For Alien 3, are you going by the theatrical release or the Assembly cut? My main question would be: why do you put Predator over Alien? I love them both and would certainly sit down to watch either if they appeared on TV...but Alien is a film that I see as almost as close to perfect as can be, from the acting, pacing, cinematography, and score to its overall concept. Not a criticism, just interested to hear your views. |

It is one that I will go back to watching more (and have done so). |

Why don't they use the Arcade game plot as a movie?
Couldn't hurt to try.

Yeah, at the time these films were being made, Arnold was governor of California and wouldn't have been caught dead so that definitely would have been a no-go. |
