Poll: AvP vs AvPR

[OmegaZilla]

I love how that Alien has got the "IM COMINNNNN" expression. And then he's like "peekaboo bitch".
I've read about this poor stuntman myself Vala, 
but the questions are:

1. you got a full front shot and you lay it in the hands of a stuntman? Not Woodruff, like y'now, the experienced guy 'n shit?
2. the scene had really to be shot from this precise angle? Not in any other that could give a better impression?
3. Not one post-production tweak to make it less obvious?

I smell no excuse for that. They could've made something better, didn't give a shit. 'S all.

1. you got a full front shot and you lay it in the hands of a stuntman? Not Woodruff, like y'now, the experienced guy 'n shit?

Woodruff is a suit actor. Wouldn't have made a world of difference considering there was only one thing the Alien was supposed to do in the scene...bad design doesn't help either.

2. the scene had really to be shot from this precise angle? Not in any other that could give a better impression?

The Alien is attacking the chopper with the intent to surprise the audience. How else are you going to get the shot?

I don't think anyone was frightened by the big dollop of rubber bouncing off the glass. Of course, intentions...

The Alien is attacking the chopper with the intent to surprise the audience.

Why wouldn't the intent be to smash the f**king windshield and kill the woman?  I mean they're already channelling Aliens so much - why not do it properly and copy the scene on the APC?

Oh yeah - lack of talent.

(Or did they already copy that scene earlier?)

I'd rather they copy the drop ship scene with Farro personally...

[Valaquen]

Or the ending of the second, dreadful Resident Evil movie...

Woodruff is a suit actor.

One of the best suit actors you can get, too.

Would've, instead. The movements in that scene are lazy and uninspired, Woodruff would have done loads better than that.

Tremors 2 or The Lost World tell loads on how to do a shot like that. The thing failed to convince, failed to scare, failed in every possible intention it could have.

I love how the Alien literally hits the glass and bounces off. It doesn't even reel back like a living creature; it bounces off.

Kill the woman yes, but it was supposed to surprise the audience as well with a standard "boo" tactic. Failed miserably, but the intent is still there.

His idea of looking like an alien monster is posing like he's about to start the chicken dance.

Woodruff would have done loads better than that.

Why? There are plenty of crap shots Woodruff was involved in.

[Valaquen]

Woodruff was terrible in AVPR. The last time he was directed well, to me, was Alien 3.

[SiL]

About the only time he was directed well in the suit.

Unless he was in Aliens while working for Winston.

[Valaquen]

About the only time he was directed well in the suit.

Unless he was in Aliens while working for Winston.

Nah, he wasn't suited in Aliens. His first suit job came after Aliens. Gillman, I believe.

[SM]

Then it should've smashed the glass with the "boo".

[Ghostface]

If it were in true alien fashion, she would have looked around, seen nothing, turned back to have a close up of an alien opening its lips, dripping with drool, seconds before a headbite. Then the pizza boy would have taken with his brother to get face-raped. Would have made for a better ending...
