My biggest thing with AvPR is they came back to earth. The way the first one ended was a great opportunity to do something different in space. Guess that was to much to ask for.

I will admit I was impressed with Grace's performance in Predators. When I first learned he had a role in the film, I laughed and it actually rained a little on the excitement parade I had for the film. I thought he would stick out like a sore thumb in the franchise as a whole. However after seeing it, I thought it did a great job. By the end after learning of his background, I couldn't help but enjoy his imminent death. The little worm.


On topic, what happened to the AVP franchise. I thought AVP was good, the first half was great, the second half felt rushed and choppy. AVPr was all wrong. Instead of taking the line into unknown territory, it just became a lame-ass sci-fi shit-fest. It pissed all over continuity, made the aliens look weak as hell, made the predator this bad-ass cleaner but with questionable tactics (shooting an alien at pointblank while holding his neck?), and it had the star/main character a f**kING pizza delivery boy! Seriously I don't really know where to begin on this movie.

He's good but it wasen't his acting that made him overlooked in Spider-Man 3. It's really his physique. His acting in Predators was pretty well.

Edvin are you sure you're not named after Topher Grace in Predators?

Was Topher Grace named after you in Predators then?

Yeah he's good, especially as Eddie Brock in Spiderman 3

i agree that he didnt make much sense, but it was a real shocker at the end, and i think that gave the movie some much needed qualities.

Not saying his performance was bad, he's a good actor and I also love that he made a fan-cut of Star wars I-III as one movie. However he is the most misplaced character in the Predator universe and has absolutely no business on that hunting reserve planet as he poses absolutely no threat to Predators whatsoever and violates the law of "he didn't kill you 'cause you weren't armed...no sport" brought forth by Arnold in Predator 1.  Serial killers prey on human trust and societal superficiality, luring you in by appearing to be your friend or just a nice guy or whatever.  To a Predator who judges danger or "sport" by your natural killing ability, a person like this must equate to CB Weyland in AvP-weak-and not worth their time.

Quotewhat? you are like the first person who didnt like how it was adapted. i would say it is pretty flawless.
and i do not know what "writing home" means.


With Watchmen rating around the mid 60s on Rotten Tomatoes, I bet I'm not the first.  And won't be the last.  You wouldn't think 12 issue comic series condensed down into a 2 and half film would drag, but Snyder achieved it.  The story should've been streamlined more, instead of jumping around.  There are things that are easy to get away with in a comic that you can't on film.

And what I meant about Tron Legacy, was that it was nothing special.  The whole premise of getting discombobulated and zapped into a computer is just as silly now as it was in 1982.  Pretty to look at - like the original - but not a great deal else to recommend it.
