I really enjoyed AVPR as well although I am aware of it's flaws. One thing that may have helped character development was figuring out why Dallas went to prison in the first place and why he didn't regret doing what he did. Would have liked to find out more about that and probably would have made people care more. Like many have said it was to dark literally for some reason, so that is an annoying problem. I love slasher flicks but I did not think it fit with these characters and the franchises as a whole. The acting by the human characters were also pretty dull.

Some of the highlights that came out of it for me that made me enjoy the film were of course Wolf! Great design, loved the veteran Predator character. The fight scenes were exciting although the Aliens were not done the best. The final fight was pretty good as well. It also introduced new Predator technology that we haven't seen on film before. I liked the whip, those laser mines he used in the sewers or whatever they were. Those are the main reasons why we should all enjoy this film but I understand why the problems may have been to much for some.

The only thing I liked was Wolf's biohelmet.

AVPR is bad, but it does bring some great stuff to the table. I like the Predator's new gadgets such as the Whip and mines.
yeah, it was very partial to predators.

It's nitpicked because it is a crime to film and an insult to two Cinematic Icons

and most of all, its dogsh*t

*shrugs*

I could name a LOT of worse films. And in my book, AVP and Requiem doesn't come near them.

But hey, whatever dude. Haters gonna hate. To each their own.

Edit: Good movies can be nitpicked on too, y'know.  ;)

I'll just say that movies like AVP but especially Requiem, I think, are taken FAR too seriously than needed. I regard them as B movie camp fliks. I don't put them on the same serious level of the Alien/Predator films. And just for sh!ts and giggles, I can't help but imagine extreme haters of AVP as being a Douchey McNitpick.

Spoiler
[close]

Yes, the movie has a LOT of flaws. I wouldn't personally say that Requiem is a GOOD film. But regardless, critics and fans constantly nitpick everything about AVPR to death just as much as AVP, and honestly, I think they judge it a little too unfairly. And if they want to do that, let them be.

I'm gonna get philosophical here- in rating AVP-R

Whether or not you liked the movie IMO is a matter of "taste".

Beauty and taste are two different things.

Beauty = truth (it has per-defined Universal rules everyone can agree on)
Taste= personal preference

To me I prefer AVP-R over Prometheus because IMO both are B-movie crap not worthy of 2/5 each.

If I were to say to an artsy person who looks for beauty in cinema I'd recommend ALIEN* (*heck they still gets played in my local swanky art-house cinema- is being preserved as a Cinematic classic and appeals to H R Giger fans).

But I'm sure there are some low hanging fruit who would say AVP-R is better than ALIEN because they prefer high RPM low IQ flicks or find ALIEN boring. They are in the minority though.

As for Prometheus the reason there is so many intense arguments over that film is because some people say its art (has universal beauty, appeal and aesthetics) whereas I put it in the same bracket as AVP-R

I like it, but then again I normaly dont hate movies, normaly no matter how bad acting or design or story is I will still like the subject.  But trust me AVPR is far from loved.  I like it like I like Troll 2 its terrible but in an amuzeing way.

About the movie, it wasn't completely horrible, it was just my least favorite of the movies.
