i find hard to think that paul got his idears from the comic books,if that was true, trust me you would see it from the pictures we got above.Some of the avp comic books that came out are realy good,realy good if you see all the details in the story and in the characters, If paul took idears from the comic books then he took it from the bad ones, like uhhh batman vrs aliens lol,ohhh god i just wish james camron dir this film like it should have been but they had to get paul who FU__Ked up mmmmmmmm let me think,resident evil maybe!,soldier maybe! 2 BIG movies that should have been more than just a good movie!but we are going to see when the next trailer comes out,we will see little hints that the film is either good or bad,because the one we saw now,its too vague.For many people this is the movie they have been waiting for and theres is so much" open space" if you say,for many great idears/stories.There are also rules that you must obey that i wrote earlier on,if you read it.From reading the comic books,there is so much passion in their stories.The alien story alone from reading the H.R giger book: on the design of the alien ,is alone huge and scary,so much art,so much passion with darkness.Its a big dark world of things we couldnt even imagine,and when you take that world and bring it into a predator surrounding,its more than just a war.This war from reading the books are differrent conflicts for differrent reasons coming from very great artists and if we where to see this war as just two creatures fighting each other because they come from two differrent planets,that would be very stupid and maybe since you have a blind spot that you cant see past,i can see why you would think that.I realy dont have anything against paul and his work,its just that paul takes big great stories and doesnt do a good job with them,paul should just work on smaller films,this is to big of a film to put in anyones hands people,would you take the story of star wars and give it to paul to direct it,hells know because he doesnt not know what is right and whats good for the film,i mean people, paul said in a interveiw that he thought t3 was better than matrix,i mean that says alot of when it comes to taste,matrix is one of the most greatest films that have come out,the talent that you need to come up with the story of the matrix is talent that paul wishes to have,im not trying to be hard on him,its a tuff job to have,i was a student film maker for 4 years,i got my diploma from NEW YOK film school acd.its just he needs to back away from big projects and work with smaller ones,who cares if you made alot of money off of resident evil,that only means that you fooled alot of people in seeing you film....ok, was your film good or not.....thats the question i want to know,and i think youll have the anwser from watching RE .AVP is to big of a story and has a history and taste of always being a good film,you dont take a legend and put it in the hands of man who never created a legendary film before you dont do that!!!!!!!,rules people, there are rules to obey,and sometimes brake, you have to have the talent of knowing which one to follow or brake.But....but,but,but, since he has alot of pressure from FOX!,and joel silver! maybe this time he will be forced to do a good job.But because there is always a but,if he doesnt do a job with the film,sorry but i will still be the bastard son that paul wished he never had.
