The Predator VS AVPR

[goose_3387]

I think most will agree on the fact that Wolf was cool design wise, and on the fact that Ian Whyte nailed the body language/movements. But Wolf also did too many stupid things regarding his mission, just for the sake of the "coolness" of doing it. And it did gave the impression that he fight useless bugs. So not so badass after all...

At least Wolf was still just 'hunting' despite doing some stupid stuff.

I'll take that over Preds kidnapping autistic kids and injecting themselves with their DNA and bringing humans Iron Man suits to fight the Upgrades who want to take over Earth...

Preds are only supposed to hunt ? Wolf wasn't even on a hunt at all.

It's no surprise that the two best movies in the franchise are about the hunt. I'm not saying you can't expand on the lore but if you re-read my post, Austic DNA injecting Predators vs humans in Iron Man suits is the biggest middle finger to Predator fans.

The Predator is like the Alien Resurrection of the Predator franchise.

That's probably the most true statement I've read in this thread.

Yep, both are bad parodies, but Resurrection is that much worse in my opinion because it takes itself so embarrassingly seriously.

The Predator > Alien Resurrection
Assassin Predator > Newborn

But both bad.

[The Old One]

No.

Alien Resurrection's coherent, at least.
And visuals, excellent.

Covenant > Resurrection > Prometheus > AVP > The Predator > AVPR

You find autistic child hunting, spinal fluid injecting Predators vs humans in Iron Man suits superior to AVP:R?

Whoa.

Yeah so do I.

One is a bad film that messes with the lore and the other is AVPR which is Asylum level terrible. Ive seen it twice and the second time was a chore, had to force myself to finish it.

Oh, it does much more than mess with lore. I wish that was the only damage this movie had done.

Meh I can easily fansplain away most of the attempted lore stuff. At least there is some enjoyment to be had. Some funny dialogue, fun kills, and good chemestry between the looneys. Also I really liked Fugitive and just his escape scene was better than AvPR as a whole (Fugitive > Wolf  ) Not to say that The Predator is a good film, it is bad and the lore that it tries to change is cringeworthy. But at least I can see whats happening in The Predator.

Try the blu-ray AVPR director's cut on a HDTV. 
Huggs tested. Huggs approved.

[426Buddy]

I have the bluray and have a 4k tv. It doesnt change anything, you can hardly see any detail in any scene involving the creature.

Really hard question to answer, both movies are practically unwatchable, this deserves a detailed analysis of every aspect from a filmmaking standpoint (script, direction, music, dialogues, acting, action scenes, edition, etc) to both films to really know for sure, but they are terrible.

The Predator is like the Alien Resurrection of the Predator franchise.

Resurrection is in another whole level of quality compared to The Predator.

If you think Resurrection takes itself seriously, then you have not watched the movie of completely missed the point. The script, maybe, takes itself seriously, but the actual made movie? Nop.
