AvPR vs A:R

[SiL]

At least the Aliens fight back in the script.

And win, but small victory.

[DoomRulz]

How? Surely they don't kill Wolf right away.

"[AVP:R] showed what a good job we'd done with the first movie. It's like, OK, you can pick apart my AVP, but take a look at that one and then maybe watch my movie again and you'll have a new appreciation for it."
~ Paul W.S. Anderson, Grantland, 2014.

If I remember rightly they gang swarm him and take him down.

That's right. It just takes a shittier movie after to come out and vindicate your own earlier one.

Die hard 4 and 5.

End of the film they take him down.

[DoomRulz]

Huh. That might've been cool to see.

[Aliens_Diner86]

A:R by far. AVPR is the worst of the series IMO.

[BishopShouldGo]

Both poor, but different gradations of poor. At least you get a couple of genuinely great scenes in A:R. At least it had top talent involved, legitimizing the whole affair.

[Scorpio]

A:R.  I don't even consider it part of the main series.  It's a spin-off that was supposed to launch it's own franchise but it never happened.  The main series is Alien 1-3 which is about Ripley (well really 2 & 3 are Ripley's story, the original is not only about Ripley).  Ripley 8 is a new character.

[P-Rock]

I don't even have to think about that: Alien: Resurrection by a mile.

Requiem is one of the worst movies I've seen.

[Hemi]

Requiem was on TV yesterday... After the sewer battle I turned it off. It's really an unwatchable mess, and that is...dare I say it... not even an opinion.

At least in A:R you could see...well...A FCKIN MOVIE BEEING PLAYED.

AVP:R is utter sht, even as a simple slasher flick.

[windebieste]

The best thing about 'AvP-R' is the NECA Predalien action figure - and by current NECA standards it's a long way from being their best piece of work.  Horrible, horrible movie.

At least 'AvP' works as a juvenile Boys Own Adventure movie, undemanding, simplistic and fun in a dumbed down kind of way.

Yeah, AVP:R is so bad, I find it genuinely hard to understand when people say they enjoy it.

I get that movies are hugely subjective, and everyone likes different things, but in this case the film is just so awful I honestly can't understand how anyone could enjoy it as a piece of entertainment.

[GreybackElder]

That is a tough one. Bottom of the barrel choices if you ask me. Um, A:R is by far the superior film. Visually it's a masterpiece compared to AVP:R. The plot while paperthin actually makes sense in A:R as well. I think the characters in A:R are more thought out. But I've got to admit AVP:R is a guilty pleasure for me. I just watch the Alien and Predator fights and fast forward through the bullshit saved by the bell high school drama. AVP:R for me.
