Can we forgive Paul now it's been 4 years?

[Spidey3121]

Yes, i can easily forgive him as i never completely blamed him in the 1st place. Yeah, the movie left something to be desired for sure but he really didn't do that bad a job. In my mind, really any blame for it's short comings fall on Fox.

As for AvP being better than AvP-R... as of now i certainly say yes, AvP is the stronger film. I @ least left the theater excited after seeing the 1st AvP although over the years i've come to accept it for what it really is, a mediocre film that should have been more. AvP-R though left me... well it hurt b/c it was supposed to be the kick-ass film that returned the series to it's "roots" + it did nothing like that what-so-ever. AvP-R is a big punch square in the face to all Alien + Predator fans (although i would certaily say more so to Alien fans). Maybe the extended SE of the DVD, hopefully with improved pic quality (so i can actually see all the "detail" they spoke about), will change my opinion some but doubtfully.

You're willing to excuse AvP for its slap-in-the-face to Predator fans yet you denounce AvP:R for slapping Alien fans?

Wow, you're a fanboy aren't you?

[SM]

And you're not, how again exactly?

[DoomRulz]

What have I said that would suggest I'm a fanboy?

You're on an AvP forum - just like the rest of us.

AVP-R at least has cool visuals, good music, good looking predators and OK aliens, a predalien, gore, better acting even if the lines still aren't great...

AVP had a big budget going for it, but still, it all felt a bit boring visually and the acting was wooden.

I thought AvPs visuals were easily it's strongest point.

I thought so too, but that doesn't say much. It was basically "Show the item, don't do anything with the angles or lighting."

[SM]

I don't agree.

I'm not about to start defending AvP, but whatever it's many faults - it looked interesting.

Not to me.
The only thing interesting about the visuals are the sets and creature effects. The cinematography is competent but without flair.

What are you then, if not like the rest of us?

If you say so.

Good lad.

I'm a fan, not a fanboy. There's a difference. A fan is someone who enjoys the stuff. A fanboy is someone who enjoys the stuff so much he thinks character X is God and pwns everyone and everything.
