I loved predator one it kept me guessing and it had a good amount of action, it focused on Arnold because he was the squad leader. Movies like predator and Alien do that .In Alien it focuses on Ripley, it does so in the other Alien movies as well which is possibly what makes them so good. I felt more like Predator to tried to much to focus on Predator, I believe he should've remained more of a mysterious character in the film. Not to the point it's like the first one though. I think he should remain like Jaws though. I mean Jaws focuses on humans and some unnatural creature lurking about focusing on the people and the 'actions' of the creature. Instead of doing that in pred2 they made him the main character I felt.

Take note of that part.

So we can't trust the box office yield, the movie critics, or the ratings from the people? 😂 You're right...I guess your opinion is the only thing that matters. 👇

Yep, that's exactly right. And no, my opinion isn't the only thing that matters(To me, it does, but other people have the right to formulate their own), though apparently you seem to think yours does since you keep calling me names when I don't agree with you.

Dude you don't get it. The predator did not have to be shown a lot to make Predator a good movie.
No shit, sherlock. I'm just saying I like P2 more because it concentrates more on the title character.

You must be the clown of the movie discussion forum. 😆
And you must be an immature 13 year old, given that you keep acting like one.

Childish remark. To strengthen your argument you result in calling me a racist. 👇 Grow up.
It was a question, not an accusation. And you should heed your own advice.

have a clear dislike for shitty acting. Actually, it's not so much that he acted badly, more that he didn't fit the role. I actually like Predator 2, but was it anywhere near as good as the first one? Hell no.
How did he not fit the role? He was an tough, rebellious cop who didn't answer to anyone didn't and didn't care if he had to break a few rules to get the job done. Danny acted that perfectly, IMO.

And Predator had much greater scenes in the jungle with much more suspense 🙂
And the suspense wears old after a few viewings, then you're wondering when the hell the Predator will show up, atleast that's how I felt, but wait, you'll just bash me and call me names because I don't agree with you.🙄

I guess you didn't get it the first time when I put the word "slow" before fatass. The predator in the second movie was ridiculously slower and less agile than the one in the first.
Really? Then how in the blue hell did he get from the graveyard all the way to subway to hunt down the other two cops in a span of 5 minutes? And if you notice the scene where they're trying to catch it, when it realizes it's been lured into a trap and goes to kill the Fed Agents, the thing is on them so fast they don't know what happened.

Yes we've heard your ranting already. "My opinion is far greater than all other opinions blah blah blah!"dur
And here we have it, folks, the most ignorant post of the year! Tell me, where did I say that my opinion was far greater than any other opinions? Oh, that's right, I DIDN'T! But you sure seem to be acting like yours is, given your still insulting me because I don't agree with you.

If it was "F*CKING HORRIBLE!" as you claim, then the box office yield would not have been as good as it turned out to be dumbshit, unless you're implying that the fans are plain retarded and like to watch crappy movies anyways. 🙄
Uh, hello? Fans had been waiting for an AVP movie for nearly 14 YEARS! Most of them were wetting their pants when they heard about it. Like I said, Box Office doesn't mean shit. And if you had bothered to look, you'd've seen that the sales dropped dramatically after most of the fans learned it was crap. Hell, check out AVPGalaxy's forums, they'll tell you that they were suckered in by Anderson and Fox.

I just said "the critics also prove that point." The people are critics also FYI.
[B]Predator:

IMDB: 7.6/10 50,440 votes
Rotten Tomatoes: 6.6/10
Box Office Mojo: B
Yahoo Users: B 8,932 votes

Predator 2:
IMDB: 5.7/10 20,069 votes
Rotten Tomatoes: 4.6/10
Box Office Mojo: C
Yahoo Users: B- 1993 votes

Critics are a small amount of people, at best. I and I'm sure many others, don't take them seriously since they bash movies I and many others liked just because it wasn't the next 'Shawshank Redemption'.

Not only did Predator get better ratings in every single one, but also had an astoundingly greater number of votes, which proves that more people showed interest in it and gives the statistical information more credibility (example: the low turnout for Yahoo users is more than likely why Predator 2 even got a B-. Look at IMDB more people voted and the discrepancy between the two shows a much greater margin.)
Who cares? I and I'm sure many other people, don't care about who on the internet votes what.

The opinions of many are greater than your sole opinion. Yes, according to the vast majority of the people, Predator is greater than Predator 2.
So in otherwords, you're trying to force all these and your opinions done my throat, right? Pretty stupid, considering I don't really give a shit what they think or you think and last time I checked, I didn't have to. Opinions are not facts, no matter how much you try to make yours and other people that support you do. And mine aren't either, I was mearly expressing it when you had to come by and bash me for not agreeing with you.

QFT.

I'm only going to say this once: Air Legend and The Predator, stop the back & forth bickering and bashing and get back on topic of the thread's theme, Alien Vs. Predator: Requiem. Any more of this and I'll issue warnings.

Fine by me. All I was doing was expressing my opinion.

There are better and more civil ways, sir, to express one's opinions without name-calling and insinuations.

Whatever.

Anyway, I still like P2 more than P1.

Here's hoping if they make AVP3, they'll get rid of the current writer and get a competent one aswell as a competent director on-board, though chances are, that sure as hell won't happen.

I liked the cool new weapons the Predator had. Yay for the Aliens returning to their brutal ways!

So I hear

Spoiler:
Humans won, Predator and Aliens didn't finish the fight
did I hear right?

Yep, pretty much what happened. Shame, I really liked the Pred in that one. Kicked the crap out of the wusses in AVP1.

I liked Wolf too. He was my favorite Predator so far.

It seemed as the ending was pathetic. I guess if that made Predator or an Alien won the company would have gotten an earful of fanboy complaints.

Most likely.

I agree. When the Predator landed I was thinking to myself, "Just put the ship in self destruct, get out and the nuclear blast will take care of everything, job finish". Then I though, "Well then all humans will die" and what happens then,
Spoiler:
the humans launched a nuke at the town getting rid of all the aliens/predators and humans in the process. Not to mention that the Alien and Predator were battling!
. Weak ending!

But I saw an image

Spoiler:
the predator shoves is blades up a predalien killing him

Probably wouldve ended up like Freddy vs Jason's ending where one comes out on top then the fanboys of the loser ***** and complain that their guy didn't win.

Chances are, if there's another AVP, the same damn thing is going to happen just to make sure the fanboys won't ***** and complain.

Well of course.

What are they going to do, show all the humans die and thats the end? That would actually be ridiculous. Humans have to win. And if it's only Aliens and Predators people won't like it because there's no one you can really connect to or bond with.

This movie was pretty aweswome for me. I snuck into it since I'm only fourteen and it was actually pretty cool......once things got started that is. Of course they threw the human story in their and you have to see their backgrounds about who they are. I like the way they did the Yautja. In this movie it wasn't like the AvP NFL linebackers in the first film. This one used smarts and stealth like the one in the original films. The Xenomorphs were done pretty well also. It was cool to see the PredAlien onscreen. Loved the fightscene. The particular Yautja in this movie was bad***. I also liked how Shadow Spider pointed out already. They went back to its roots in this movie. It had the Predator and Alien Theme, skinned bodies, blinking eyes on helmet, and the taking off the mask when it rumbled with the PredAlien(which was very bad***). I really don't know why all of the haters of this movie were downplaying it cause of the killings of innocent characters. That's one of the things they were complaining about in the first movie. If your a true fan of both series go see this movie.

That's true. We haven't really had characters to actually care about in Alien/AVP lately.

Though I, personally, wouldn't mind the Aliens/Predators win for once. It would be different. Infact, if they could shoot 3 different endings where;
1. The Humans win(Theatrical run and Optional Special Edition DVD ending)

2. Predators win(Optional Special Edition DVD ending)

3. The Aliens win(Optional Special Edition DVD ending)

And just select which ending you want to see in the main menu. Now THAT, would kick some serious ass...
