Been waiting for this. So happy they didn't just shovel out a cliche-ridden, suckfest like the avp movies, and got a good director and cast.

Really hope they do the same for Alien, because I've been waiting for that series to not suck, for years now.

Kalyx triaD 03-13-2010 06:12 PM

Isn't Ridley Scott in charge of the Alien prequel?

Would love a movie like the first one. Definitely my fav of the series, as I enjoy the horror aspect a lot more than the action parts of the later movies. Original Alien is the scariest movie of all time, imo. I remember my dad telling me that people would be leaving the theatre halfway through, because they were either too grossed out, or too terrified to keep watching.

I know they went back to the one alien thing in 3, but the execution was pretty bad. Just wasn't the same.

Kalyx triaD 03-13-2010 06:56 PM

Alien 3 was... I won't say fail but it missed it's mark. The first Alien changed my life. One of those things from my childhood that reverberated in my life.

Probably shouldn't have watched it at my age.

I thought resurrection was cool in a 'comic book movie' sort of way, at least it felt like the Alien comics to me. The AVP movies turned them into b-movie villains. I think they're the greatest modern monsters ever, but who's scared of them anymore?

Fignuts 03-13-2010 07:04 PM

Yeah, HATE that shit.

Even with 3, and resurrection, the aliens and predators were still on a higher echelon than the typical cheesy horror stuff like freddy and jason. Not after avp though.

Swear to god, I'll mention that I like alien and predator movies, and some jackoff says those are just b movie cheese, because he's never seen the originals. The dick punch he recieves is only mildly satisfying. Need some good movies to come out.

In 2006, she "had her eye on" Irish actor and S.W.A.T. co-star, Colin Farrell

Both were in BloodRayne. The lesbian relationship is addressed and cited on both Michelle and the TX's pages.

Swiss Ultimate 06-18-2010 09:21 PM

Who is directing this? (lazy)

Jeritron 06-18-2010 10:17 PM

Some dude named Nimrod. Not kidding either. Nimrod Antal or something like that.

It's produced by Robert Rodriguez and based on a story he pitched to Fox years and years ago, though. So that's a potential plus.
I think his original script was supposed to be to Predator as Aliens was to Alien. It was supposedly very good, but Fox passed because the franchise was dead in the 90s.
I read the opening scene once.
I'm sure it's been changed around a ton, but hopefully it retains some of it's original quality.

Fox is awful, for the record. They make the worst decisions of any major studio, very consistently and for a long time now.

Fignuts 06-19-2010 02:21 PM

Dunno, trailer looks far farrrrrrr better than anything that fox has pumped out for this franchise in years. Almost looks on par with the original.

Jeritron 06-19-2010 02:26 PM

Oh I'm not saying that this doesn't look good. It seems to be on the right track. Robert Rodriguez overseeing it is great.
I'm just saying Fox is horrible and has made mistakes for a long time. Making the Aliens vs Predator movies in all their awfulness instead of this movie is one of those mistakes.
Pretty sure Rodriguez pitched this in the 90s

Fignuts 06-19-2010 02:37 PM

Making Alien vs Predator wasn't the mistake. It was the execution. AvP was pretty bankable franchise for over a decade before the film. They should have had more respect for that, when putting it together, instead of just shitting out a crappy popcorn flick.

Regardless, the scene where the Alien meets the Predator for the first time still gives me chills, and is an incredibly badass scene, despite how much the rest of the movie sucks.

Waited ten years for that, and it was worth not only the wait, but also sitting through the rest of that movie. Say what you will about AvP as a whole, but that scene could not have been executed any better. So awesome.

Jeritron 06-19-2010 02:55 PM

FOx is the reason it was executed poorly. The studios get what they want

Jeritron 07-02-2010 06:57 PM

The thing that sucks it that Robert Rodriguez wrote this in the early 90s, and had every intention of having Arnold reprise his role as Dutch.
They eventually scaled it back further and further until they faced facts that they just had to cut it.
He was talking about this an interview I read the other day.

Loving the trailers and art direction of the film. I am glad movie studios have not given up on the Predator franchise yet. I personally hated the first AVP but I loved the second one. Even resembled a couple of the old comics. This one seems to have a comic book feel from the Predator comics from the 90's. Can't wait.

Danny Electric 07-08-2010 07:16 PM

Saw it tonight, was impressed with it overall but their was far too many references to the first film.

Sixx 07-08-2010 08:00 PM

I bet Danny Trejo gets his arm ripped off or something.

Jeritron 07-09-2010 02:46 AM

I just got back from this. I enjoyed myself. I thought it was well done for the most part, but it got a tad messy and fell apart in some areas in the final act.

Still, it was a good time and a much more faithful and interesting sequel than any of the other efforts, really.


Some thoughts:
SPOILER: show


I think the biggest flaw of the movie was how unintimidating the Predators themselves were. This is to be expected compared to the first, because of how familiar the audience is with them now.
Still, I think they dropped the ball there a bit. They kept them off screen and built them up for the first half of the movie, and the "Jaws effect" was working nicely. Then they crash onto the screen in a blaze of glory. This was good too...

The problem from here was mainly that they were really downplayed after this. They didn't do much more in the way of being terrifying enemies.
They didn't really get "clean kills" on any of the characters. Two characters killed Predators on their way out, and even the comic relief convict character (from The Shield) got offense in before dying. It sort of lessened the Predators.

The penalty of this is that when our main character gets into a brawl with the Predator, it's not really anything special that he's capable of putting up a fight. The final act of the movie had a lot of shit going on and felt a bit anticlimactic. But I disgress. It's only a Predator movie.

The good things are that it felt like a spiritual successor to the original, and had a great concept. There were some great moments and action sequences. The tone of the film definitely harkened back to the original, and there were nice touches like the music.
The Laurence Fishburne character was good stuff.

The female character recalling a briefing she recieved about the events of the first movie, (and sharing all kinds of details including what year it occured and how Arnie knew how to kill them) was a bit of a facepalm moment. It was pointless, since it didn't have any effect on the plot and only served to reference the first movie in a far-fetched connection.


Sixx 07-09-2010 06:33 AM

Who is the main character in the movie anyway?

4 knuckles up 07-09-2010 09:05 AM

The main character is Adrian Brody.

I watched this last night- An absolutely sweet film. After watching all the AVP crap I fear the worst, but this is so much like the original in many ways.

Its a solid film. Some of the dialogue is total cheese, in an action movie cliché kinda way, but if you can deal with that- You'll have fun.

The Yakuza guy in it was the baddest mother fucker.

Sixx 07-09-2010 12:48 PM

I just can't imagine Adrien Brody as a bad-ass.

Heard he gained 25 pounds of muscle, but still.

He's done a war movie before, The Thin Red Line plus it showed just how good an actor he is to do a different kind of movie.

ClockShot 07-09-2010 08:12 PM

Brody can do anything. Biopic, comedy, classic remake, war flick.

Pick a role, he'll probably nail it down pat.

Jeritron 07-10-2010 01:25 AM

I think Brody is great. I love how he went from The Pianist, to King Kong, to this though. I feel like King Kong was the appropriate segway

Jeritron 07-10-2010 01:27 AM

I know they were trying to get Arnold to reprise his role as Dutch for this, and he was originally a part of the script early on.
I wonder where he would have fit in. If the story was pretty much the same, my guess would be that the Laurence Fishburne role was designed for him. It would have worked.

Danny Electric 07-10-2010 02:33 AM

When the film was originally to be made in the 90's Dutch was in the script but then it never wen ahead.
