Come on, guys, so Optimus made a mistake... like you've never made one...!
Ridley thinks, as Sigourney 'used' to think, that a crossover movie like AVP 'empties' the two monsters by putting together quickly a story with both of them at eachother and not much else... Ok, the FX were good, but they lost their appeal... Aliens are supposed to be in space, not here, and the Predators are better off hunting and taunting humans (like in the Deleted Scene in Predator, when he taunts Dutch) in rainforests and subways (this last one
) So I think Ridley is right about this AVP franchise, because he is seeing it from a creative point of view, as the first director of the first movie, and we are seeing it in terms of entertainment... Therefore, for him, the way it looks, the designs of the weapons or the mask are secondary... he is worried about how the creatures get portrayed in them... And so should we...
