AVP Requiem VS The Predator

[BigDaddyJohn]

I agree. I was afraid of how it would look on screen after reading it in the script, but it was cool.

Something I saw mentioned around here recently (f**ked if I can remember where right now) that I do think really works in Fugitives favour is using human weapons in the escape scene, especially because he's still effective with them while using slightly lazy, disdainful movements and treating them as disposable.

I mentioned it in the Prey subforum when discussing Predators stealing technology.

That's right, thanks.

Fugitive's escape is the one moment in the film I remember with any sort of fondness. Even though it doesn't actually make a lick of sense whatsoever once you learn his motives...

[BigDaddyJohn]

While I like the lab escape scene, I always had a big issue with it. It's the scene where the pred looks the most like a guy in a suit.

When he's without armor, his skin color/pattern actually denotes so much with the white environment that it makes the guy in the suit aspect stand out too much.

This creature wasn't initially designed to ever evolve in this type of environment, and it shows.

AVPR sucks, but it at least had the decency to always be a non-canonical "what-if" type deal.  Even before it released I didn't take it seriously.

The Predator wanted to be an actual sequel that matters.  It's the worst for that very reason.  One of the worst movies I've ever seen, especially because it had the gall to pretend to be the next big thing for the Predator franchise.

No it didn't.  It wanted to be a direct prequel to Alien by including Ms Yutani at the end.

Requime, you get to see Xenos infest a town. The National Guard Scene alone was great. I also enjoyed the power plant scenes.

For some reason when I watched it a couple of days ago the brightness was way up and I could even see The Predomorph clearly for the first time on the Predator ship.

I like how much worse Wolf makes the entire situation there.

Yeah Wolf also being a cleaner and disposing of evidence made it even harder for the people to realize: see crab like hand with tail you have bloody bursted chest.

[SM]

Wolf makes everything worse.

[BigDaddyJohn]

But he is cool to look at, the bloody bastard. 

Spoiler

I know, when we can see him.

Between the two, Wolf and Fugitige, I definetly prefer the former

Yep same for me.
