Neither they both managed to screw things up royally. There is nothing and I mean NOTHING good about the first film. I see people saying that if it was allowed to be rated R that it would have been better. NO IT WOULDN'T!!! It takes more that showing a decapitation in all its glory to make a good film. Anderson maybe more experienced but the only good thing he has ever made was Event Horizon. Lets not forget those horrible Mortal Kombats he made
He started the shit ball rolling by allowing those horrible designs to grace the screen and allowing those hacks Woodruff and Gillis at ADI have anything to do with the creatures. Though they did start to pull their heads out of their asses when the designed Wolf but the still screwed up his face design. The Strause brothers brought the franchises back to their original R rating which I thank but its not enough to make up for horrible ideas, plots, creature designs, and dialogue. If they make anymore AVP movies they should forget the first two happen and do what they should have done long time ago. USE THE GODDAMN COMIC BOOK STORY!!! It was even made into a script at one point. It would have been far better.
Bring back the old alien designs. I personally like Cameron's alien design with out the dome. But to original is just as badass too. Bring back the old predator designs. Make subtle changes like in Predator 2. And for Christ sake, hire competent actors and a competent director. Stop casting crappy actors and actresses like that lead chick in AVP. Horrible just horrible, I never once believed she would be able to survive a situation like that, much less know what to do in it. She would be too concerned with breaking a nail or messing up here weave than being able to take on a queen alien. Should have had an Asian girl like in the comic. That would be more believable than what we got. What we got was a someone hire for her looks, which btw aren't all that. Get over this idea of lets cater to this demographic by doing this cause studies show it will make us more money. All stuff like I stated above does is jeopardize the integrity of the movies we all grew up loving. They are just bastardized versions of what we know to be canon.
