Aliens vs. Predators - Requiem....
- Thread starter Manji
- Start date
I'm a fan of both.
I knew that AVP was going to be a video game flick, so I wasn't expecting much.
It was OK, considering how far-fetched it would have to be to tie the two storylines together.
However, I would have liked to seen Predator 3 (made well) instead of AVP.

Well, I thought AVP was fun...totally stupid but fun. Now it looks like AVP 2 has gone past the point of stupid fun to just plain totally stupid, with blood and gore and nothing else... But I still think the aliens are no match for the predators.
Ah be fair....
...of course the trailer's full of B&G. ITS A TRAILER. Maybe the plot is right up there with War & Peace?

Actually, Predator 2 was HORRIBLE!
To think an old cop can track down and kill a Predator....an efficient killing hunter?
I don't think so.
Throughout the whole Predator 2 movie, Danny Glover was wheezing, coughing and struggling for breath, the entire time he chased after the predator.
Not very realistic.
You want a more realistic Predator 2 movie?
While Danny Glover was wheezing, coughing and struggling to keep up with the Predator, the Predator turns around and takes him out.
Then an entire swat team move in to take down the Predator.
An entire swat team. Not an old, wheezing man in his 50's.
Remember. In Predator 1. A Predator took out Arnold's entire team of experienced marines.
Compare the forces.
6 experienced marines in the first movie.
1 wheezing old cop in the second movie.
Arnold Swarzennegger himself almost didn't make it.
(Damn, I take these movies too seriously...)

I don't like how they set the time line in the present. Humans are nothing more than cannon fodder for the war between the A vs P. They should do it like the comics and set it in the future and the humans have advanced weapons and team up with the preds to get off the alien infested world. A much better premis than what i just saw.

Comic book AND the video game (arcade) - was set in the future and the humans have far advanced weaponry
I've read some of the comics for the Predator series, Alien series and Alien Vs. Predator series....
All of them were pretty well written...
In fact...if they had just taken the plot from the comic books and put them in movie form it would have been so much better....
In fact....I think for the first Predator series...the comic had a detective as well but the detective was the brother of Schwartznegger's character in the movie...it was pretty well written....
The Predator 2 movie was sort of similar in that the Predator's were hunting gangsters....attracted to the violence or something....

But Predators dont get attracted to violence. That's BS
They are attracted to anything thats living. And then they kill it.
Actually, no. That's wrong. They are attracted to specific targets. But they already know what target they're required to get, before even landing on earth. They're hunters. Not Gangsters

I think they're attracted to targets that can fight back (or can be dangerous or lethal to them in some way).....They want a challenge...
I think in both the movie and the comic the Predators may avoid killing unarmed women and children (who pose no threat to them)...
That's why they love hunting the Aliens because the Aliens are extremely dangerous prey....
In one of the books the Predators actually have captured the Queen Alien so she provide eggs to the Predators....who then use the offspring as targets...
looks dumb to me based on the trailer. The FX looks really cheezy meaning that the budget was tight. Too bad.
Also, I am not sure the thing works well outdoors. Aliens had their 'scare' factor best in tight enclosed spaces, not in the open woods! I thought the first AvP used up that storyline for earth as a test in that pyramid thingy.
