After seeing AVP:R, I began thinking the first AVP was half-decent. That's how bad it was.

And people starting getting softer on Resurrection when AvP came out.  Same, though to a lesser extent, with Alien3 when Resurrection came out.  The more movies they make, the better the older ones look.

Are you saying that by 2020, we will all be sitting on here talking about how AVP-R was a misunderstood masterpiece? Because I will get on my pig and fly right the fuck outta here!

This I want to see! Plus the fact that I feel like a loser to think that I'll be here to watch in 2020, makes me wanna  Sad

At least Jeunet "tried" to make his characters interesting. AVP:R has no good characters or good actors for that matter.

AVP:R felt like a crappy teenage slasher flick with Aliens and Predators thrown in.

Probably because it was.

Are you joking? AVP:R was TERRIFYING!

The knowledge that humanity could make such a shitty film fills me with horror every time I think about it. Wink

If you have an opinion air it. You should be more worried about getting flammed to death for opening so many dead or dying threads for just a little, slight comment.

OK, I have seen that burning man thing before. What is it?
