New Aliens Vs. Predator Fight Scene

[pretentious_helvetica]

It's linked at the start of this thread. 

Weird, when I first saw the AvP clip I just got the scrap and not the stuff before it...

I bet the film's going to stink like a monolithic turd though.

As for Alien 3, Fox were so confident of it's world-changing-ness, it was the first ever instance when they changed the 20th Century Fox anthem at the start of the film. I'm not too keen on Alien 3, but it does have a fucking ace intro.

We're fucked either way - if it bombs, no the franchise dies so no Scott/Cameron team up for the origin story. If it's a success we get more of the same WWF monster mash horseshit so no Scott/Cameron team up for the origin story.

Fuck.

Nuke the entire franchise from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.

Whoever wins, we, the viewing public, lose.

[pretentious_helvetica]

The comparison in some movie reviews to WWF/WWE scared me quite a lot.

I knew I should have copyrighted that joke when I first cracked it

[DoctorK]

Lardarse fanboy Harry Knowles has reviewed it and claims to like it. Which means it'll be shit.

He's not exactely positive though, is he?

Rather – he’s moved up the ladder a couple of rungs to making an entertaining piece of shit, rather than just plain ol shit. This one is a turd that resembles something you know, and as a result… you get amused, you smile… Hell, depending how crass you are, you might even keep it around a bit to show various friends, or take pictures and post em to the internet. It’s that sort of bad.

[DoctorK]

Not really, but seems to be saying "it's not half as shite as it could have been" but it's still not brilliant.

One for DVD I think.

If the predator takes off his mask to reveal 'the big show' underneath, all will be forgiven.

Which one? You can't have said them both

[ianinthefuture]

It's WWE, not WWF. Don't act like you don't know!

I didn't think it looked too bad - not as bad as people are saying, at least. But I know it won't be good.

I think what Knowles is saying is that if it were any other characters it would be horrible, but because it's Aliens and Predators, you get at least some enjoyment from it.

Ah well, at least I have the books/graphic novels to fall back on...

[sega_kid]

ok people its up on nova now, lets get downloadin and see what its really like! hmm the "sample" is actually a pretty entertaining scene... ive got my hopes up.

[Icebox]

It's been downloading really slow. By the time it's finished, it would have taken about 30 hours!

[PopeSmokesDope]

Its fucking fucking DIRE!

Lets hunt this cunt down.

[Space Renegade Ulala]

Somebody be a darling and do me a copy - I truly balk at the idea of paying to see it and thus possibily contribute to the likelyhood of some other idiot producer giving Anderson another project to completely fuck up.

[Icebox]

Just finished watching it.

Unbelievably, it's even worse than I imagined.

It's just so stupid and so predictable. But not in a cheesy, fun way.

Some of the action's okay, but that's about it.

Probably worth a download, if only to see how bad it is.

[InsideOutBoy]

I watched some of the torrent that is going around, but it’s pretty awful quality so I don’t know if I’ll bother continuing.

From what I've seen it is just another teen-friendly, mindless, action movie with horror overtones. The same ilk as I Know What You Did Last Summer, Ghost Ship, Resident Evil and that sort of movie.

Except AVP has less characterisation, depth, and plot than even those. If only it didn’t feature 2 of the greatest sci-fi characters ever, I could’ve watched it with guilty pleasure, but bringing these 2 icons down to cinema-fluff level to is just… wrong.

It does look ‘nice’ though, set and lighting wise. And of course, there are many things to get Aliens fanboys cheering, such as a character that only speaks in Hudson quotes, and bullet-time face huggers. Marvellous.

I think both a Hudson-a-like and bullet-time facehuggers will do the exact opposite of making fanboys cheer, unfortunately

unless you were being sarcastic....

[sega_kid]

is it me or were the opening 20 mins the most boring start to a film ever?

Extremely sarcastic.

This film is a walking insult to Aliens fans (like me).

This is exactly why I'm going to download it. Buying a ticket is just encouraging them to give Anderson the reigns - HE MUST BE STOPPED!!!

[sega_kid]

ok, i must admit apart from the yawnsome opening the film is actually quite entertaining! sure its nowhere near alien quality, but i did get a kick out of watching that alien get its face sliced off by the predator(oh my god this "slicing" thing really is doing the rounds now- cube, ghost ship, 13 ghosts, resident evil, equilibrium spring to mind)

and it certainly sounded like the audience enjoyed it too. gotta love them yanks.

the rounds of applause after the fight scene were a bit over the top

[kamrantaz]

that was a fucking shite fight

i expected more

[Icebox]

Why are Americans so stupid at cinemas?

In the AvP cam torrent, they're whooping and cheering at practically everything, and they actually applaud the movie on several occasions.

I was shouting at my computer telling them to shut the fuck up!

[ianwuk]

I'm thinking this film will be terrible purely because of the record of Paul Anderson. I actually like Event Horizon, anythin else he has done though is terrible. Resident Evil was dire, a sequel is in the works, but why is it he gets all the game related franchises and then ruins them?.

Kudos to the guy for trying but imagine if AvP was made by a collaboration of staff from the Alien series and the Predator series, that would be something to watch, I haven't even seen that clip, but I can imagine what it is like.

As ever, the classics are the best.

[Major Britten]

but why is it he gets all the game related franchises and then ruins them?.

I dont know, Mortal Kombat was good considering the game itself had no story, Resi Evil on the otherhand was an absolute disgrace; the games already have a great storyline so making a film based on it should of been easy, instead he decides to write his own version of it and just fuck everything up. And it now sounds like he has done the same to tha Alien and Predator stories; I have not read them myself but the comics are meant to be very good so why could he not base the film on one of them instead of writing a new script from scratch He is a very bad script writer, if he was given a script written by someone with talent then maybe his films would get better.

Soldier rules out that theory

[Major Britten]

Soldier rules out that theory

I said someone with talent

[Major Britten]

I have just read those spoiler reviews, if they are true then the people at fox that actually let this turkey get made should be sacked

[Sprite Machine]

bullet-time face huggers.

Lordy!
