AvP:R wasn't as bad as I remember. (Thar be spoilers in here)

[fistfulofmetal]

...well... it kind of is.

But the Predator is the fucking bee's knees. I would say it's the best movie film Predator since the original.

It's like a Gunslinger arriving to deal with some shit. Every scene with the Predator is used to show how awesome he is. Using various tools to track and kill the Aliens. Like the scene in the sewers where he traps a bunch of Xeno's in a perimeter with lazers and proceeded to to blow the shit out of them until the Predalien shows up. I only wished he would have used his wrist bomb instead of being killed in the nuclear explosion

Speaking of, Predalien was also kind of cool as well. I mean it does mouth rape a bunch of pregnant chicks, and that has to count for something.

Also I did rather enjoy that once shit started to get real, all the main human characters started (for the most part) to do and say logical shit. They realized sit was bad and went to get guns. Then when everyone wanted to go to the center of town they are like "fuck you, we're getting to the choppah" And thankfully the movie punishes the dumb townspeople who made the wrong choice by FUCKING NUKING THEM. Which I thought was awesome.



Finally: The blonde chick in the movie was super hot. Really fucking sucked that the movie killed her

leper this filth

[fistfulofmetal]

My mother said she hated the film because the Predator should have did more to protect the townspeople. I tried to explain to her that it's not how he operates and she wasn't having it. I also tried to tell her that the film is mainly for people that have seen all the movies and she didn't think that was a valid excuse for him not to have saved everyone.

Which is one of the many reasons this Predator was superior to many of his past cohorts. The one in AvP1 went all Lethal Weapon buddy cop on us with the black chick. Made me wanna throw up.

paging viz, himu, tvc

tar and feather party!

[Bloodwake]

It was better than the first AvP. That alone give it some credit.

[drew]

thats like saying a pile of shit isn't so bad if you spray paint it gold and stick rhinestones in it

[WrikaWrek]

Actually the 1st AVP was better.

AVP R just felt wrong. PRedators vs Aliens in some redneck town, just....too much.

ugh. The entirety of AVP1 "felt wrong" with tame action and horrible Predators. And the pathetic WWE style "fight scene" between a Predator and Xeno? For fucks sake.

the predalien predalolien (aka failien) was the final nail in the franchise's coffin imo...then it drenched the gravesight w/ gasoline, let it burn out, filled the hole with dirt, dumped bags of heavy duty rock salt every few feet, finally pissed on the tombstone.  then it drunk dialed all of Alien's and Predator's friends and family and made threats until they called the police

I lulled when the blonde chick got it.

The setting and visuals and story were much cooler anyway. It was just badly, badly delivered.

The best part in Requiem is when the hot blond chick starts undressing by the pool.

photoshop is fun

I thought it was one of the best pure Grade-B monster films made in recent memory, but considering the caliber of films that the Alien was featured in (I'm sorry, but Predator has always been Grade-B!), I can see people miffed to see such iconic characters dragged down to TNT Monstervision-type level.

[drew]

yep xenomorphs > genital crab face any day of the week

[The Fake Shemp]

I think the Predator is a great character, but the Alien is much more iconic and has two legitimately classic films under its belt.  Predator, at best, has a very good McTiernan original under its belt.

The original AvP was a travesty on almost every level, but I did enjoy the sequel in a guilty pleasure way.  The same way I'll see and enjoy anything with monsters - Cloverfield too!

[cool breeze]

Predator is much more cool than Alien.  Let's face it, the Alien's most defining moment was coming out of a stomach.  Predator's was stalking and killing a bunch of buff dudes who were packing huge weapons and stories about huge vagina.  Don't forget that it also exploded an entire forest when it was eventually defeated.

The bad part is they made it a bitch after the second movie where Danny Glover encounters several of them.  One Predator is awesome, several is stupid.  The entire cool aspect from the first movie was that it was alone stalking everyone.

The Predator was also the most fun to play as in the video games.

[fistfulofmetal]

When I watched it I got the feeling the directors much favored the Predator over the Xenos. That's probably why it comes off as the supreme badass 2 da max and the Xenos are just cliche movie monsters.

[drew]

Aliens are much more cool than Predator.  period.  Ahnold Schwarzenegger was able to flex predator like a BITCH without all his cigarillo technology and armor and cheap ass cloaking and etc etc.  Predator is a wispy bish that likes to skip limpwristed through trees like peter pan while totally invisible and pick people off with his cheap auto locking shoulder cannon. and everyone knows lasers are for homos plain and simple.  also their species is so goddamn hideously ugly that they have developed full body armor who can't even see without it like my Grandma.  oh and he wears a suitcase nuke as a bracelet (lol). big deal.

aliens were developed by an ancient 15 foot tall race as weapons and they were so badass they killed off the very species that created them.  aliens have highly pressurized very highly acidic blood so when hurt its acid blood sprays and spurts everywhere & probably killing whatever killed it (its blood is also venomous when it comes in contact with living flesh!)  they have evolved to become immune to acid strong enough to quickly eat through 4 floors of solid steel, much like how we are immune to our own stomach acid.  it can also turn a living human into a facehugger egg by cocooning.

[fistfulofmetal]

dual auto-locking shoulder cannons

[drew]

the wii music of action movies smh

[cool breeze]

So aliens are better because they bleed on you after you kill them?

Predators would wreck an alien using just his blades

[drew]

all hoppin around like vega n shit

what a flamer

why don't you go decorate your lair w/ more pretty bones you halfassed Martha Stewart wanna be cigarillo

[cool breeze]

ouch

if you're not careful, I'll slit my wrists and spray you with blood.  It's apparently more powerful than a shoulder canon, a blade staff, a blade gauntlet, and a wrist nuke.  I'm sure that WW2 would have ended a lot faster if we just sprayed them Japanese with blood.

this thread is awesome

ok.  i didnt want to do this...

you can draw a strikingly similar parralell in what predator does to pheasant hunting or deer hunting.

both are obviously for pussies and ugly people.  predator likes to stay in the shadows, the deer hunter likes to sit on his fat midwestern distinguished mentally-challenged fellow ass drinking shitty beer and talking about Cabela's for 12 hours with his shitty friend(s).  pheasant hunting is the most unfair form of hunting slaughter imagined.  which draws the upper class because they want to test out their million dollar shotgun they won in a quiet auction somewhere in the Upper East Side.  predator does a very similar thing where its obviously not the hunt that makes him kill, he just wants to test out all his expensive futuristic bullshit strapped onto pretty much every muscle of his torso.  like the deerhunter all he really wants is the trophy. predator would rather shoot fish in a barrell than go fly fishing

basically he is just a rich cunt

[fistfulofmetal]

The comparison fails when you realize the Predator will hunt many different things so it can test the capabilities of itself and the expensive futuristic bullshit. Humans, Xenos, whatever it views as the most worthy hunt. Unlike the rich prick hunter who hunts easy game that poses no threat to them.

It doesn't just come to Earth to kill rats. It goes after the most dangerous game.

[drew]

BUT HE IS INVISIBLE

Predator could walk around just jacking off onto people and run away if he wanted to and no one would ever know what the flying fuck is going on!

[drew]

he could literally stick his dick in a tyrannosaurus rex with no ill effect

he could fall into a pit of vipers and they'd just be like "whoa gravity sure is heavier today"

[fistfulofmetal]

listen man
don't hate a my dudes technology

[drew]

yeah just give up, there's no way you can win

ive been obsessed with this franchise since i was 5

predator is just a glorified keychain collector

[fistfulofmetal]

i fuckin' love keychains.
