What did you think of AvP?

[Corporal Hicks]

It's a wierd film for me. On one viewing I enjoy it alot and an another I can't stand it. But generally, it was a very disappointing film.   

[The Ultimate Predator]

I gotta re-watch it again, my opinion in films has changed a lot recently.

[Darkness]

I bought it on DVD in April and watched it through, then listened to both commentaries.

I still don't like it although I wish I'd have waited for the DVD instead of watching it the way I did. I liked the main Alien-Predator fight I guess.

[The Ultimate Predator]

The Celtic vs Alien fight I did enjoy, except Celtic being killed. Its just ridiculous, in hand to hand, a Predator can generally take out an Alien, just look at the original comics.

[Darkness]

A Predator could take out a 1000 Aliens and still be standing. I just hate the way they were portrayed in AvP. Paul Anderson changed far too much relating to the Predators.

[The Ultimate Predator]

I don't know about a thousand. Hand to hand certainly not. But I hated the way they were portrayed as well.

[Corporal Hicks]

Anderson's commentary bugged the hell out of me. I love watching films with commentaries - one of the reasons I'd been excited about the Quad - but I just couldn't stand it. Skipped to the Celtic-Scar fight and then turned it off.

[Darkness]

Well, I listened to both commentaries. It pisses me off what Anderson says about the Predators in the first two films being children.

[The Ultimate Predator]

I found one of the interviews they did with him hilarious. He kept on going on about how you can't find a bigger Alien and Pred fan than him.

[Corporal Hicks]

What does he call them? Predatoids?

I think the moral of the story there is don't let "fans" make Alien and Predator movies.

[Corporal Hicks]

Personally I think it's, don't let no talent hacks make any Alien/Predator films. It's people like him that given British film makers a bad name.

[The Ultimate Predator]

Totally agree with you there Hicks.

Yeah, it still surprises how this guy still keeps getting work.
