Poll: AvP vs AvPR

[Scorpio]

The Alien movies are not about stopping them getting to Earth.  Mainly they're about survival and not letting WY get their hands on a specimen.  So it doesn't matter that they've been on Earth before.  They were in other places, and got their asses kicked.    Why would Earth be any different?

The bit about not letting the Company getting their hands on a specimen is to stop them getting to Earth.

Earth, or as youd call Gunnison county, is a lavish, full of life area. Theres absolutely no reason why aliens would not spread to the forests to the other animals, outside of the city limits at least. It should be what Ripley had feared in all of the movies -  a mass, uncontrollable infection. Fortunately for Ripley and entire human kind, the buckteeth hilbilly aliens were kind enough not to spread AT ALL outside of this city limits. Ripley comes out as an idiot in AVPR because the aliens do end up on earth, and they do end up in populated area surrounded by life and more life, and nothing happens. They just stay in one place as if its a isolated colony on the moon and thats it. What a panicking paranoid looney she was, all these sacrifices and the alien did not destroy life on earth. Funny woman

I can appreciate the scope the first AVP has but I don't think it exactly delivers on what people expect from a proper AVP in terms of setting, creatures, rating, etc. AVPR tries to make up for this but somehow takes a massive step backwards and looks like it was produced with spare change from Fox.

A good Aliens vs. Predator can be made but it needs the right people and ideas behind it. Thing is though the quality of the first two has probably scared anyone from touching the idea ever again.

The AVP movies are spoken of the same way as Star Wars prequels

i was thinking... Netflix could make a mini series, maybe HBO, 6 episodes, AVP, it could be great and work way better, maybe, but it would need a big budget

LOL this may be blasphemy to some but the SW prequels were not as bad as the AVP films.

@gilfryd
If I had at least even a small movie budget (enough to make a movie these days anyway), competent crew and control over the project as director without fox meddling, I would have no issue making an AVP film and yes it would ignore the previous AVP movies and intentionally contradict it. No egg barfing...or sped up life cycle

Both films should have been way better than they were.
Just watched an interview with Studio ADI on YouTube and they said that they were given less money for the effects on AVP:R than they had originally got for the first movie. That explains the dim, dull, dark scenes, they couldn't afford any lights!

The Prequels are infinitely better than both AVP films combined

They got nuked, that's the reason.

Quite.

That and despite having the whole day to do something that, they simply didn't, they only had four facehuggers and they got used up. Chet was in town, so nowhere near the forests to barf down any pregnant deer's throat lol  The Aliens didn't even leave the sewers until night time, when Wolf accidentally gave them an entrance out.

The town wasnt an isolated colony in the middle of the moon, it had plenty of wildlife,was surrounded by forests and theres no reason why facehuggers didnt spread outside the city limits or impregnate anything outside city limits. They were very convenient to stay exactly in the city and not infect anything in the woods

[SM]

It's not like it would've made much difference.  They still would've gotten nuked.  Obvious answer is the first viable hosts the huggers encountered were Buddy, Sam, and the homeless people.

[Ragonk_Force]

Its like choosing between two bowell movements. But R is better simply because of the gore and the wolf were mildly cool
