QuoteAfter AVP came out a sycophantic complaint of many was that it was too much emphasis on the human element. And given the fact the movie was called, ya know, Alien vs. Predator, that complaint is fully justified.

Trying and failing to make a compelling story is worse than anything esee you could do.After AVP came out a sycophantic complaint of many was that it was too much emphasis on the human element.

I was satisfied but maybe my standards were lowered after the first AVP.And if you think Resurrection was a better film because of its amazing focus on the characters and their plot...well, to each their own. But I can't fatom saying Resurrection is better than anything in any category.

But I can't fatom saying Resurrection is better than anything in any category.I am aware the film is called Alien vs Predator, that doesn't mean thats all that should be shown for 90 minutes.I don't recall seeing any fighting in avpr, all I saw was the predator slaughtering the midgets filling in for aliens. Fight scenes can only work if both sides appear in danger. Having the pred do nothing other than kill aliens in ridiculous fashions for the whole movie gets boring very fast.
Quote from: Divpax on Jun 11, 2011, 01:02:15 AMIt got killed at the end by the nuke, besides I hardly think having an unarmed pred impaled at the end of the film (whilst killing the predalien) makes the film seem fair.It was still one sided drivel with the whole of the movie seeming to be to have the pred "Pwning aliens".One sidedness aside, the film itself was simply BAD. The whole cast showed no emotion whatsoever and the action scenes had such poor lighting that I couldn't see what was going on.
Quote from: Ghostface on Jun 11, 2011, 08:45:15 AMThere were multiple instances in the film where an Alien could have impaled Wolf but luckily he was spared by plot convenience. I don't mind a pred killing multiple xeno throughout the film because he is a seasoned vet, but they were just lambs to the slaughter. No tension whatsoever.
Quote from: OmegaZilla on Jun 21, 2011, 09:42:44 PMIf it was to be a single Pred annihilating an entire hive, he should've found the nesting place and thrown one of those implosive bom--Wait though, why the f**k didn't they just, like... send a scout ship and destroy the whole site?
Quote from: Divpax on Jun 21, 2011, 09:52:46 PMWhy did the predator bother saving earth at all actually? If the aliens are so worth hunting then just let them take over the planet?
