[MadassAlex]

Grid killing Gill was probably the best few seconds of AvP.

Watch AVP:R. Its worth watching.

I agree with this statement

I agree with this statement

AVP1:
+ Good anticipation
+ Notable characters
+ Tyrannosaurus Queen
+ Good fights
+ Penguin scene
- Pred/human teamup (different and had potntial, but sucked in this film)
- Grid/Gill scene ...
- Cheezy acting
- Stupid pyramid/antarctic concept

AVPR:
+ Wolf's awesome
+ Plenty of fights (short, but satisfying)
- Bad acting (That kid at the beginning makes me f**king cringe)
- Lousy, mostly uneeded characters
- Predalien
- Added a - for lulz

AVP's more interesting, but AVPR's more fun for a night with friends ...

Agreed.

I have to go with AVP.  The quality of the lighting, sets, general design, technology, acting, script etc etc were superior in every way to AVPR. Despite the fact that the gore and death reality level in AVP were pathetic at least it was a grand looking film. AVPR, for me was let down by a B grade cheapness which I couldn't get over, along with gore so over the top it couldn't be taken seriously.  These films should be Science Fiction with a horror twist, not the other way around.

^ Brego, I couldn't help but notice you rated both films cuz of ONLY the Aliens and Preds. Not cuz of story, acting, or dialogue ...

Not that that's a bad thing, since we're A/P fans, but I'm suprised AVPR's terrible acting and characters weren't on either cons OR pros for your list.

[TheCrimsonIdol]

Voted for AvPR just because Wolf was so badass!

Goes without saying?

[Brego]

Sorry Shark Predetor you are correct, the acting was so, so in AVPR but look what the actors had to work with........  It was the diaglog that sucked in my book.

[AcidGlow]

AVP - if you like National Geographic with little fight scenes.. watch this..
AVR - if you want blood, killing and an elite pred that doesn't die in 5 seconds of the film.. watch this.

AVPR for me! always.

[SiL]

If you want competent Aliens, watch AvP.

If you want competent Predators ... shit, still watch AvP.

[Noir-Gojira]

If you want competent Predators, make your own damn movie.

[PredalienXenomorph]

If you want competent Aliens, watch AvP.

By what stretch of the imagination are those Aliens competent?

[OmegaZilla]

Ohj, they killed 2 Predators and freed a Queen from her imprisonment. Nothing.

[PredalienXenomorph]

I remember seeing an Alien swing his claws and tail at a Pred, roll around after getting kicked, hiss and scream before lunging at a Predator, stand there while a buddy of theirs was attacking a Predator, lay on the Predator's back when it had a chance to headbite it, and jump onto a spear.

[SM]

I remember seeing one kill 2 Predators in less than 4 minutes.

[PredalienXenomorph]

Your point? It got manhandled and in the end survived because of it's opponent made a fatal mistake.
