Be prepared - AVP > Predator 2 are fightin' words around here... I learned that the hard way.

I hate both movies, but almost anything with xenos (no matter how silly it is) gets a higher score on my list than Predator 2.

I thought it might be interesting to include the Predator movies given the AvP connection - to see how the best of the Predator franchise stacks up against the best of the Alien franchise.

The Alien films are usually taken more seriously than Predator - more 'artistic' perhaps. They require more imagination and design being as they are set in the future with interstellar travel, other worlds etc. My own ranking was informed by these considerations, thus Alien and Aliens come out on top. However, I couldn't possibly place any other film in the Alien franchise above Predator regardless of pretty visuals due to other ways in which they fall down. Predator may be a bit of an OTT 80s action romp but it performs that so magnificently. And the creature itself has IMO as much merit as the Alien. It's an excellent conception and design.

^ Good points.

I'll take almost anything from the Alien franchise over the Predator franchise any day. Predator is a great creature design and the first film belongs where it is as one of the greatest sci-fi/monster films. However, I'd be lying if I said that I didn't find the majority of the beginning of Predator boring - shouting, mindless gun violence, and dragged out teasers of what the creature looks like.

Not including the parodies that are AVP, the only Alien film I'd put below Predator is probably Alien 3.

Thats understandable, the first half of predator is a testosterone fueled action packed movie, most women get turned off by it because of how balls to the wall it is.
The same goes with fight club. Most women cant stand fight club

So... I legitimately can't tell if you're calling me a woman as an insult or if you're talking about something else altogether (I'm 99% sure it's the former though). I owe you no explanation as to why I find parts of any movie boring so I won't go into that.

 

[crows]

Insult? Are you saying women are an insult? I was just thinking about high testosterone movies like predator and fight club. Movies that are not liked because of how ultra macho they are . And how most women hate them, cant stand them. Theres no insult, no insults here.

Of course I'm not saying women are an insult. At first, it seemed to me like you were trying to say that I was "unmanly" because I was bored with the first half of the film, as if that has any actual baring on how "manly" someone is (not that I really care anyway). So, my apologies if I misjudged you.

 

[crows]

Not unmanly, just low test nothing wrong with that

And that silly Pepsi commercial is still better than AVP Requiem (truly the worst of both the Alien and Predator franchises ).

Exactly.

Chakor has just been Jeb Bushed

Don't worry Chakor with proper treatment you will be able to bounce back from your publIc emasculation.

For starters please force yourself to love the first half of Predator, pump your fist in the air and grunt when they're cursing and shooting guns lol.
