Paul W.S Anderson or The Strause Brothers for AVP3?

[Master]

I would give P.W.Anderson a chance to create another AvP film. I`m 100% honest. He is good director, he just needs good script.

[SiL]

and the Brothers will teach him about putting some action in a movie, yeesh.

Except Anderson did that plenty fine with most of his other movies, so no.

[DoomRulz]

He didn't with AvP.

[SiL]

And yet he still did it with his others, so it's not something he needs to be taught.

[Keg]

I dont get why people say there wasnt enough action in it. its a 90 minute movie and from 30 minutes in until the end thats all there is.

[SiL]

The Aliens and Predators don't start fighting until 54 minutes in.

The movie is over 30 minutes later.

You don't have a fifty minute build for 30 minutes intermittent payoff.

[The PredBen]

I'd pick Anderson. To be honest I found AVP did butcher the Predator ( not in that they were weak but that he took everything from the comcis and basically did a crappy adaptation of Prey) but AVP:R sucked on every level.

The Predator " Wolf " sucked.
The Aliens sucked.
It was overly gory.
Characters we didn't care about.
Choppy editing
Utterly crappy dialoge.

I could go on but i'd rather have a bad adaptation of Prey then AVP:R again.

And yet he still did it with his others, so it's not something he needs to be taught.

Ok fine then, give him a helping hand.

[Noir-Gojira]

And yet he still did it with his others, so it's not something he needs to be taught.

But clearly it needs to be reinforced.

Two very short fights and lots of running away down dark corridors qualifies as "action"?

[The PredBen]

AVP fights -

Grid vs Celtic. -  A few minutes

Alien ambushes scar and is killed by Alexa. - Like 2 secondds

Scar blows a few aliens away. - Like 10 seconds

Alien pounches on Scar and Alexa shoots it. - Like 20 seconds.

Queen vs Alex and Scar. - A few minutes.

In these fights we don't get more then 10 minutes of action. Perhaps a bit more ... And in three of those above fights Alexa SAVES Scar.

[SM]

Grid v Celtic and Queen v Scar & Lex I count as fights.

Everything else is over too quick to qualify.

It'd be like calling the scene in Resurrection where Vriess shoots the Alien in the ceiling a "fight".

[DoomRulz]

Queen vs. S&L was so boring. It felt more like a race than anything else.

[SM]

Except for the bits when they were fighting.

[DoomRulz]

Which was boring. First it was a bitch slap, then a race, then tug of war.
