Poll: AvP vs AvPR

[Yautja117]

I'm legally blind and I could tell what was going on in AVPR.

HEY! 

Yeah, I stole it. Hope you don't mind.

Don't you love it how AvP:R defenders always say "I could tell what's going on.", but never "That shot looked amazing." or simply "It wasn't dark!"

Because deep down they cannot deny the fact, that visually, this film is a two fingered salute to celluloid.

*chortles*

No, of course not!

[Yautja117]

I am legally considered blind though. Can't be on the road without glasses.   
Still, both movies were terrible. I just happen to prefer one over the other. I'm also here to let Doom know he's not the only one to defend this film.

So what if there aren't any "amazing shots" in AVPR? The first one really didn't have anything either.

. . . I beg to differ.

Me too.

The helicopter rising over the Piper-Maru?

The pyramid reveal?

The Predators gearing up?

The Predator pods ejecting from the mother ship?

The Celtic/Grid fight?

Grid screeching over Celtic's corpse, amongst a sea of skulls?

Scar impaling the Queen with his spear?

And many moar.

This shot alone rapes the whole of AvP:R.

[Drago-Morph]

Quite. The only memorable shot Requiem had was Wolf holding the two Aliens by the neck, and even that was only memorable because it pissed off more people than were physically available to be pissed off.

Best in the whole film. I'm just saying, there are worse movies out there. Then again, I really haven't seen a movie in years I've "hated".

True, but it shouldn't be rated above AvP.

[Yautja117]

Some should, yes. AVP wasn't a great movie, fun or other wise. AVPR was a slasher and a bad one at that. Both of these films should just be forgotten, but I do like AVPR more. If I have to watch one, anyway.

[Lt. Mike Harrigan]

Fair 'nuff.

What about Grid lifting Gill ? Great scene.
