I agree with everyone else. Sequel = awesome, remake = retarded as hell. Rodriguez is one of my favorite directors currently in the biz, and if he tried to remake Predator I would lose all faith in him completely. Oh, and for those of you saying the AVP movies aren't canon, that is just your attempt at getting rid of the movies you hate from the franchise. Just because a sequel sucks doesn't mean you can just go "Well its not canon anyway." Yes, it is canon, get over it. It doesnt in any way shape or form ruin the original series. You might as well say Alien Resurrection isn't canon either, since nobody really liked that one. Spin off movies are generally ALWAYS canon. What was a spin off that wasn't? Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman is canon. King Kong vs. Godzilla is canon (in the Toho series), Freddy vs. Jason is canon. So why would AVP randomly not be canon? Crappy sequels still count, but if you want to kid yourself and say they dont cuz you personally hated them then oh well, I guess.
