AvP2:Requiem is Literally one of the most Infuriating movies I've ever watched....

The Lighting in the movie is the worst I've seen in any movie ever....The entire movie is extremely dark and hard to see, But Especially All The Action Sequences, You can literally turn every light off in your house, watch this movie in pitch black and still not be able to see whats going on in The Action Sequences.

The Movie itself is average, Not awful but not great either, I could probably watch and enjoy it if not for The Horrific Lighting ....

I like Prometheus, I rated it a 8/10...its not a classic But IMO A decent Sci-Fi film that I can rewatch and enjoy every now and then

Speaking of AvP...We got 2 upcoming movies from these franchise that may turn out to be Great...Alien Covenant comes out in 2 Weeks and Shane Black's The Predator comes out in 2018

my rankings for these franchise are-

Ranking The Alien Franchise Films-(My Favorites)
1. Prometheus--8/10
2. Alien--8.5/10
3. Alien V Predator--7.5/10
4. Aliens--8/10
5. Aliens Vs Predator Requiem--6.5/10
6. Alien Resurrection--Have Not Seen
7. Alien 3--Have Not Seen

*IMO Alien is best film in the Franchise but not my favorite

Ranking The Predator Franchise Films-
1. Predator-9.5/10
2. Predator 2-7.5/10
3. Predators-7.5/10
4. Alien Vs Predator-7/10
5. Alien Vs Predator:Requiem-6/10

*Predator is an All Timer

Would would anyone compare a good movie (Prometheus) and one of the worst film of all time (AVP:R)?

reply

Because it's a popular online fad to bash Prometheus... And pretty much only online. I haven't met anyone IRL who dislikes the movie.

reply

Online fad my ass, pancakes. I've only ever met one person IRL who liked Prometheus and that was mainly because of Noomi being Swedish. Everyone else hated it.

If you've never met anyone who dislikes Prometheus, you either have to get out more, or you hang out with idiots...

AHA, and the bait always brings out one of the Prometheus trolls. Look at that, your posting history is ONLY for Prometheus and Alien: Covenant, plus you can't help but toss out an insult.

You guys are so transparent, worthless, and hilarious!

Thanks for proving me right once again that Prometheus hate is usually just trolling.

Looks like the Sirap sock account is back in hibernation for another month or more LOL

reply

Hibernation? Right, it's not like I have better things to do during my vacation... Also this is hardly a sock account, I used to be tkjoller until I for some reason got locked out of my account, so now I'm using this one instead.

Talking about hibernation, why don't you tell us your whereabouts and what you were up to during your many months of absence from the boards...

You've never been right about anyting ever, pancakes. We've covered my posting history several times before and I'm no troll. I assure you, my dislike for Prometheus is genuine.

reply

"I assure you, my dislike for Prometheus is genuine."

Oh yes, YOUR dislike is certainly genuine, but your sock-account trolling is patently obvious.

I will give you credit for one thing: Instead of doubling down on trolling, you went with the more basic tactic of obvious denial of my simple objective observations.

Glad to see I was effective.

Adios!

reply

Yeah, I'm not entirely sure what you think you've observed , but objective you are not.

You call everyone who disagrees with you a troll and you believe every other poster to be a sock. Even though I used my real name you called me a sock, that's just paranoid, pancakes.

Prometheus what a complete disappointment after 30 years or whatever it was ... and Covenant was even worse.

reply

As a direct comparison, Prometheus is a better watch. The AvP films were pretty forgettable.

reply

Prometheus, obviously. (A future classic... maybe.) Not only superior to both AvP movies, but it’s an all around good film.

reply

Prometheus is the best Alien movie, apart from the original...

reply

hahaha. love it. just look at how you intentionally infuriated all those silly fanboys.

"mommy, mommy, they ruined my franchise, make it stop, pleeeeeease."

one thing though, i don't think i will ever really know how i feel about about avp2, since i could not see a goddamn thing. xD

reply

Exactly. The AVP2 directors saved money by not using any lights, it seems.

reply

sad but true. people tried to fix this for fan edits, but the source material is so dark that nobody was able to succeed so far.

reply

I don't see any "classics" in that list
