Poll: AvP vs AvPR

And that a films colour palette (or lack thereof) doesn't necessarily make it crap.

[Ghostface]

If they were good films to begin with, I'm sure the palette would be the last thing we would be discussing.

Indeed. But when the film is bad enough to begin with, it doesn't help.

A movie with the title "Alien vs Predator" could never be a good movie.

All I wanted for AVP were some enjoyable cheesefests with some cool alien/predator action.  And it delivered in spades. 

If they actually tried to do a serious movie it would turn out laughably bad.

[Ghostface]

I doubt we'll ever see another fantastic film out of any franchise. All we can hope for is movies that dont suck.

Funny you should mention that, since that's precisely what happened.

Twice.

Maybe the script editor was on drugs.

Teen drama has no place in any Alien/Predator or AVP movies. Ever. Period.

Thats right. And its inclusion, along with long shots of an underage ass only tell us who was the target audience for the movie.

But i thought troubled pizza boy was universally appealing

And your point being?

Just to make an example outside the A/P universe, Mimic is a pretty dark and mostly with a restricted color palette, but both AvP & AvPR, with a larger color range, can't hold a candle to it. Wider Color Range =/= better overall quality, geddit?

How could anyone not appreciate such original, deep and shakespearian character?

Twice.

Oh come on now, AvP could be mediocre all you want, but laughably bad?

No. I know a colour palette is neither here nor there, but when the film is bad to begin with, lack of colour  (or not depending on your view) only adds to the problem,

Every time I think "You know... AvP wasn't that bad", I ponder a little longer and come to the conclusion that "Yes.  It was."

[DoomRulz]

What makes you reconsider?

[SM]

Reconsider that it's bad or good?
