Alien Resurrection, Predators, AvP, and Aliens are the strongest ones. P2 definitely has its moments. AvP 2 and the rest need to be forgotten.

Predators??? The one with Adrian Brody...?

And AvP over the original Alien....? AvP shouldn't be on that list of yours.

You guys are definitely in the minority here...that was an awful film.

Agree, Neo is NUTS for liking AvP and AR, but hey, I did think Predator 2 was a great movie. *shrug. I liked it better than the first Predator even, which was also pretty great.

Sad thing is, I remember seeing the end of P2 for the first time when I was lil, where you see the Alien skulli n the ship. I remember thinking...HOW BADASS WOULD IT BE IF THEY MADE AN ALIEN VERSUS PREDATOR MOVIE?!

Be careful what you wish for.

Hahaha exactly! Thought a very similar thing when I saw that scene as well.

And I believe they made a PC game that was Aliens vs Predator shoot-em up before the movie was ever made. The idea of the two duking it out is awesome, but their delivery fell waaaaay short. Hate they made the female lead in AvP a Ripley type heroine, on a lesser badass scale.

That's the one. It also had Danny Trejo and Laurence Fishburne.

Did you guys ever read the original AvP graphic novel? It came out YEARS before the film and was fairly bad-ass. They took a couple idea for the film from it, but they were two different stories. If you get a chance track it down.

Not a big fan of comics or graphic novels, unless by Jhonen Vasquez

I am completely batshit about Alien, Aliens, and Alien 3.
I know Alien 3 gets a bad rap, but I thought it was a great film, and almost as strong as the first.
Aliens....eh, for an action movie it was good but it doesn't seem to fit the franchise. Still has it's charm though so I don't bash it.

I agree with this.

Also, fun fact - Bill Paxton is the only actor to have been killed by an Alien, a Predator, and a Terminator. He rules.

I read it, it was ok. The problem with the graphic novel and with the movie is that there were people in it. People are boring as shit. I want to see aliens and predators killing each other, not trying to pretend I care about characters that are interchangeable nothings.

I don't know how anyone could be enthusiastic about this, given the track record of prequels.

eh...1. it's Ridley Scott

2. Star Trek managed a decent prequel, if you could call it that.

I'm hinging my hopes on those two items.

+1, if they really NEED human characters to anchor the audience, make sure they don't suck ass.

Sorry Javyn I couldn't read your post--it got caught in a CGI lens flare.

All one can really say at this point is that it's a pretty well-made trailer. It seems to have the fanboys all whipped up.
I'll have to wait and see.

Also,
I'm a proponent of using whether one prefers Alien or Aliens as a sort of litmus test for a person's taste in movies.

That is also what happened with The Phantom Menace. We'll see if this one turns out as bad.
