Poll: AvP vs AvPR

[Randomizer]

- AVP messes up the lore, but I don't care. For me, it's non-canonical and I can watch it without getting pissed of.

- AVPR I actually... really, really liked. It's decently written and acted, it has way better pacing than AVP, some cool scenes, and I love the cinematography - the shots are BEAUTIFUL. But yeah, gamma issues make it almost unwatchable.

I do consider AVP as canon, although at first it didn't feel right where it belonged.

With that being said, I might as well consider AVPR canon too, but there's no way I'm gonna do that.

Just leave the ending out and you wont know that AVPR EXISTED.

I recall AVP being easier to sit through, but the sequel had fight scenes that were more entertaining (ignoring the shitty lighting of course). I don't know, it's kinda like asking whether it's better to be smacked in the head with a baseball bat or a golf club. Pick either one and your still f**ked.

I disagree, the fight scenes in AVPR was worse thant the first. Instead catfight wrestling, they now had the predator and Chet in what can be considered a boxing match, wolf was fighting in a too human manner in my opinion.

At least there was no slow motion/bullet time shit.

True dat, The matrix is both the best and worst thing to have happened. lol

Anyways, AVP is defo superior but neither film grasped the alien side of things too well, Alien is more of a horror experience, even the action sequel Aliens had horror and terror in it, but none of these AVP films had that, unless you count being horrified by how bad they were 

Action is fairly easy to do, but horror and terror requires a good direction because otherwise it can fail or worse, be a cliche.

It amuses me how Paul Anderson tried to do the slow buildup like Predator and Alien and it just made his movie worse. Sorry Paul, you're no Ridley Scott.

AVP is more of a fantasy film with horror and scifi elements, IMO.

Nothing really specific, just the tone of it. 

[The Cruentus]

There wasn't really any horror in it, Sci/fi for sure and I would say maybe "adventure" but not fantasy because that implies supernatural, though considering the speed of the life cycle, the Aliens were borderline supernatural lol

You know I actually wish that AVP:R had gone ahead with the idea of the Predalien using Predator technology like cloaking. I mean sure it would have caused uncontrollable groaning and incited the tears of millions of AVP-Fans, but at least the movie would have been somewhat unique because of it, as without it the movie is pretty much just a generic Aliens invade a small town scenario with unneeded excessive gore

[comicsupreme]

I liked AvP more than Avp R because the aliens were better and actually beat two of the predators. While in Avp R the Aliens were rubbish though I did like the Wolf Predator more than the Predators in Avp.
