I dont care, Predator 2 is a masterpiece compared to Aliens, that stupid piece of shit that calls it self a classic... I even think that AVP-R beats the shit out of aliens 
Now go cry.
JH, seriously, you need to think before you post. You know damn well that this qualifies as flame-baiting and will provoke an argument.
According to you, the original 1930s '
King Kong' had better special effects than '
Alien', you can't stand the Colonial Marines and yet adore Dutch's military team (who were slightly more stereotyped, if anything) and you absolutely hate so much as a hint of a story being set in the future, regardless of whether the actual film uses analogies to equate it, in a
realistic way, to the present day.
Saying those sorts of things, without even trying to qualify the remarks as purely your opinion, then going on to basically claim anyone who disagrees is moronic, is
not how you should conduct yourself on these forums.
I like
both sets of films and I'm sure that most of us here do, too.
Please act more maturely. It's fine to say a film has its flaws, but then to claim another film doesn't, when it very obviously
does, just ends up making your opinions seem a tad ridiculous.
Both the '
Alien' and '
Predator' films have their weaknesses (yes, '
Alien' drags on a bit, which is precisely why Scott trimmed that stuff up, in the more recent edition), but they also have their strengths. If you'd acknowledge that, you'd get more people debating with you in a friendly way.
