the writer was the same but ANDERSON the franchise killer helped write it i believe

ZEN  Cool man, thanks    ;)   When I am finished it and it is copyright, I will be getting some fan opinions. (only a handful)  Ya know what else bothers me - some fans keep saying that we are expecting too much:  The original Alien won a friggin OSCAR for is design and was nominated for its art direction! Among others, it won a saturn award for best Sci Fi movie along with numerous other nods for 'best writing' - as it was called back then.  Im not saying that an AVP movie should be worthy of the OSCARS or that it should be tackled that way- but for God sakes, at least treat the franchise with some dignity.... What was the point in all of those awards and nominations back in 79'?? Theyve just bastardised them with this installment, even more so than Anderson did.

Just because they directed the previous films doesn't mean they are only ones who can direct any future films. There are a lots of other directors and/or writers that can do it and have proven their worth in previous hits. And these directors listed as example have had various results in their carrer by boxoffice, fan and critic reaction, but they can do TENFOLD a better job.  EXAMPLES: Martin Campbell (Casino Royale, GoldenEye, Zorro) Paul Greengrass (Bourne Supremacy and Ultimatum) Francis Lawrence (Constantine, I Am Legend) Joe Johnston (Jurassic Park 3, Hidalgo, Jumanji) Christopher Nolan (Batman Begins, The Prestige) Wolfgang Petersen (Air Force One, Das Boot, Troy) Tony Scott (Deja Vu, Man on Fire, Enemy of the State) Edward Zwick (Blood Diamond, Last Samuri, Glory) Len Wiseman (Live Free or Die Hard, Underworld films)

This coment is mostly directed to CHAZ.   First, i agree with you when you say that this franchise´s latest movie is better then the first one. Definatelly!!  In what it concerns to AvP3 budget, i must say your coment on that wasn´t much realistic. Otherwise let's see...A budget of $200miliion, that´s maybe not impossible to happen (i certainly would like to see that happen), but highly unlikely! Remember that those are super production numbers... It should be more like ($80-$100)milion. At least for now...That is, if FOX decides to invest prpoperly in this franchise...  As for good acting, it may not be essential for the war itself, but that´s one of the main characeristics that will give emphasis to the scenes, cause good reviews and bring people to theaters, fans or not.   I´m not asking for an absolutely brilliant movie, just an absolutely decent one. I want the most critic people of this franchise to say "AvP3 is definatelly worth watching!"

i read a looooong time ago the budget was estimated from some directors/writers/etc to go to 200 mill. i read this when avp came out. thats why fox never made the movie people wanted to much...TO DO IT CORRECTLY!!!

I wonder why FOX reduced the budget that much...In what were they thinking? What were their piorities at the time? What was so important that it got to remove AvP from their top investments list??  I really would like to listen to the answers...

because they are money grabbing animals and they know that all they have to do is make the trailer look good to tap into the massive fan-base of this movie.   The trailer is the most mis-leading trailer ive ever seen, It shows practically everything....  God I hate this movie    :D

fair enough ZEN.... and i agree AVP3  needs 2 be at least 120 minutes and definatley needs 2 be more than 1 predator cuz wen there is only one predator it means there will be lots of aliens being killed which wont go down well with alien fans, so loads of predtors and loads of aliens would be interseting...

Interesting and...expensive! But i agree. For this franchise sake, it better be that way...

They should forget live action AVP and do an animated adaption of the original comic and get that out on dvd.  Aliens vs Predator as an animated movie or series of animated movies would be great.

Well... if AvP-R movie make more than 111 M$ that's the same reason like the first avp... all people fell on the trapp and was thinking this movie would be great.. but most are disapointed (if i knew how the movie was ... no comment... be sure i never paid any ticket to go watch it... it was just curiousity).

It comes down to money, if FOX can only be prepared to throw some GOOD money i KNOW IT WILL TAKE ALOT OF PEOPLE BY STORM.  I loved it personally and again know that the Strause bros were going inindeed in the right direction

well fox have spent alot of money on terrible films before...just wud b nice to see them actually give the directors of AVP3 (if there is 1) a big budget to see what they can actually do with the franchise because im starti 2 wonder if the whole vp concept can actually b made int a good film but we wont know until there is good directors and a big budget

Worst movie of the decade by far.  The Strauses should never have been hired.  Please no AvP 3.
