I thought AvP was a very good Predator movie, a bad Alien movie, and an ATROCIOUS human movie. Why did they have to be in it? Why did they have to SPEAK!?
I really enjoyed AVP, and everyone says that it's worst. So I hope I like the other ones even more! yeah AVP is the worst in my opinion AVP:R is better. Predator is BY FAR the best, Predators is good, & Predators 2 is fun
yeah alien, was slow paced to me. I also loved aliens because it really is what made the aliens aliens and spawned one of the greatest games ever, CONTRA!!!!!
I personally like Alien better. It was a slow paced, suspenseful horror film. Aliens was totally awesome to but it was more of a fast paced pointless action film by James Cameron that had a killer final showdown. In my opinion.
I have came in and cleaned up this topic. I understand great debate and empassioned expression is allowed, but keep it clean. and if it is going to a length to this extent please PM. this is a topic for all and it keeps others from commenting. I have to say that all the movies are entertaining except predator 2, alien 3 & 4 and have not seen prometheus yet. but to me the best of all are predator and aliens, so feel free to comment.
thanks for all the time and understanding, we are a community and can vary in opinion.
I thought it was a sequal. The mentioned the first film off handidly in Predators. The original plan and the novel had it far more clear that it was a sequal.
I suppose there is a lot of reboot reports just didn't seem as such
Predators was indeed a sequel. The dialog even mentions the other Predator encounters as known by the government.
-well a reboot is a remake those two terms are the exact same . A remake is when they take an old film toss it away and make it all new we know that.
-AlsoTherp stuck to his one point NEO you kinda twisted and warped yours to where it made little sense its rules with constant change make it blur into the belief that is a film is similar to a prior film then its a remake.
- When therp brings up the fact that certain slashers get all new cast all NEO countered with was "youre wrong" where in actuality he has been correct on many counts .
-From what The creator of the Prometheus film states himself that its a spin off and its own film so it ties in via universe but that seems to be really the most of it almost imagine if there was a film called(this is totally made up) Generation-O about robotic prosthetic limbs mind controlling people and making them be all evil....buuuut the tech was made by Cyberdyne ya dig? like the terminator events still happen but these things did too
-with Neos logic films like Men In Black 3 ,Mummy Dragon king d-bag whatever and star wars episode one are reboots because the rule switched from having to be something new that brings in new money and fan then it was they had to be similar with new cast and after that it kinda became a mutated Chernobyl baby of it all like its a baby and its all baby like but it has an anus on its forehead and squid arms so its obviously messed up.
-Neo you gave this feeling of I run the worldwide sorting station of all films where as Therp stuck to his guns and regular usage of the term . Neo yes you could say that in your usage whatever the hell you want is a reboot but thats like me calling vanilla chocolate and mint ice cream all Mr. Miyagi flavored because thats how I used the term Mr. Miyagi regardless of those flavors not really being the same at all.
- final off note Also Neo sometimes I learned this at your age (if youre lets say 13 ? right?) you gotta swallow the fact that youre not the smartest guy and someone with 10 years on ya (crazy you think whoa hes young like me hes only 23 but no thats almost two of yous)might know a bit better Im the perfect moderator here because Im an exact middle of your two ages Im not gunna tell you to be more respectful but maybe try a bit more humble
.....and your avatar looks like youre trying to entangle sex offenders..... ....whoch is hella f***ing awkward when youre talking to a guy who goes by therapist .....the-rapist
I for one am always interested in another persons HONEST opinion and by honest I mean unbiased and your true feelings on it alrighty thats one person willing to hear me on teh soapbox sweet powerball half in yamis court!
Reading through this one person is clearly right one person is clearly wrong with a belief that "I get to categorize what everything is" attitude .Buuuut because another person of my prestigious rank didn't voice who I know they side with here Im not sure if I should....unless I'm asked really nice. ....mwhahahahahah ect.
what your failing to understand is the film community will not view it as a reboot as per it is set in the same universe. Kind of like every Nightmare On Elm Street Friday The 13th is not a reboot just cuz they change up the design of the badguy and the cast
I do agree with you on the fact that Gtape is watching the worst first. Predator and Alien are the best IMO
I know Gtape just certain movies are classic and even if your not a fan you should give a chance
The new friday the 13th and nightmare on elm street were also reboots.
... You just proved you do not read what is put before you thus meaning you go under the category of people who are unable and or unwilling to learn
what your failing to understand is the film community will not view it as a reboot as per it is set in the same universe. Kind of like every Nightmare On Elm Street Friday The 13th is not a reboot ust cuz they change up the design of the badguy and the cast

Yeah, it was pretty epic. Oh, and the reason I haven't watched Chainsaw Massacre is cause I really don't like that kind of movie , although I will admit that House down the street movie looked pretty interesting . Gonna watch Requium before the Predators and Aliend, I know I am out of order here, but I just gotta see that hybrid in action!
I think your doing it in a good order though. Your watching the worst of the series first ( I think they are good but compared to the others they are the worst) and they give a lot of background info. You will be more interested in the old ones now and you get to save the best for last.

I liked it, thought the special effects were really good. Overall a very good movie in my opinion. The scene in the end with the Alien Queen was pretty awsome! Gonna watch requiem next!
Wikipedia is an online database that anyone can update. Not a reliable source. What did prometheus do? I recall seeing a similar ship, with similar aliens, with similar crew members. But absolutely none of it was what we have seen before. If you haven't seen it, Scott didn't have any of the alien things we learned to love and like. Just similar things. So technically they did reboot the series because they did discard much of the previous fiction as far as we know. Same with predators in a way. Sure they had predators in it but it was pretty much a reboot of the first one with added (super predators, river ghost aliens, being dropped on game preserves, Morpheus, The predators being picked on by other predators.) Although it did mention the first movie. Its still not enough to not consider these movies reboots. Amazing Spiderman is a reboot. Different cast, plot, creatures. But it still has spiderman and that he has the ability to shoot webs and climb up walls and he still looked like Spiderman.. Just as Prometheus and Predators had different creatures, cast, plot. Predators still looked like predators and did predator stuff like predators. Prometheus didn't have facehuggers, had throat snakes and giant squid babies, didn't have Xenomorphs, just had this blue creature that looked kind of like an alien, didn't have ripley, had a dragon tattoo chick. They are reboots
Because your parents child protection block clearly keeps you from wikipedia. It states that a reboot is when they discard much if not all previous fiction. Thus amazing spider-man is a reboot. Men in black three is not.
Film terms that SHOULD be retired has no point here as SHOULD is an opinion.
How does rebooting a computer have anything to do with the movie term reboot? here read this. Maybe you'll understand where I'm coming from a little better. http://filmverse.wordpress.com/2011/11/ ... e-retired/ And really this rude stuff you keep posting is getting old.
Thats actually really funny becouse when one states they do not care it is because they care. My friend who told me that quote also told me those who try to teach always think we are being rude he must be absurdly smart. Also when reading my last post I thought of a possibility. I was gunna post it but I figured all your angst would force you to post again so I was waiting for that. Maybe instead of prometheus being a remake a reboot or a prequel it is a spin off.
As for reboot. It means to restart. Such as when you reboot your computer. When you boot a disk or computer you start it. When you REboot it you REstart it. You are not restarting it if you are using the same story universe or characters. You are continuing or adding upon it.
I consider a reboot to be a new product used to Re(as in again) and Boot(as in get it out to the public.) Almost like a jumpstart for the franchise to earn more money on things in which they've already become famous for. If you catch my drift. I know your trying to correct me without being rude but you haven't really provided enough evidence to change my belief yet. Get me some definitions or something to prove your point in a less rude way( I'm not sure if you realize thats how you come off being is rude, with all of the quotes about young people being stupid and stuff. What ever it doesn't phase me. Must be my teen rebelliousness but try to be a little nice.) Prove me wrong and I will admit to being incorrect.
I am confused by what your saying. It seems you are now changing the meaning of reboot. First you say amazing spiderman is a reboot. Now you say prometheus is a prequel AND reboot....that contridicts itself. Then you say Predators is not a remake but it is a reboot..... again contridiction.
A reboot is something like: Amazing spiderman New 52 anything that majorly changes the universe we are in
A remake/ reimagining is something like The wolfman Strangers charlie in the chocolate factory Anything that keeps the same stories but changes few elements to modernize it.
A sequel/prequel is something like: Prometheus Halo 4 gears of war judgement Red dragon anything that stays in the same universe and continues the story of that universe.
In Laverne and Shirley is not a reboot. Nor is mork and mindy and in star wars the spin offs and expanded universe are not considered reboots or remakes.
At this time I am reminded of a quote by a friend of mine. The problem with young people today is they would rather be stupid and "right" then be smart and wrong.

Ridley Scott said it was not an Alien Prequel. I think it was totally a prequel and it was absolutely a reboot for the alien franchise. I will admit that predators was not a remake, but it was definitely close to the original. Same dialogue, character archetypes, even similar music. It was practically a remake and it was also definitely a reboot for the series.
I suppose so. Only thing I don't get is how some people can be so delusional. I mean ridley scott penned Prometheus as a prequal and even though it went through major rewrites he himself said it was in the same universe but just focused on its own mythos.
Seems someone is just covering their @s$ cuz they were wrong
Hell hollywood and every mag called spirit of vengeance a sequal and they are also calling ghostbusters three a sequel. Its jargon. Rather we like it or not we either use it in the same sense as they do or we will get confused. I guess I can understand why youd be confused, you probably just stumbled on some bad blogs.
Also as per the fact that prometheus is the same universe as Aliens it in fact cannot be a reboot. Rather a prequel that works on its own
A reboot is a film that is new to a series of films created in the past to jump start the series again. Such as Prometheus and Predators. Its also misused quite a bit by the film industry now. Just about every sequel is considered a reboot now for example "Ghost Rider Spirit Of Vengeance." It is commonly told to be a reboot for ghostrider because the first one "sucked" in most peoples opinions, but really its just a sequel. Real reboots are like The new Spiderman coming out, The New Planet of the Apes Movie, Prometheus, Total Recall. Just stuff like that.
That one I am hearing many debates about. From what I understand Prometheus is a prequal or a psuedo-prequal at the very least
Hell my research also is leading me to believe predators is indeed not a reboot of the franchise. Just a reboot of the 2nd film. Many die hard superfans call predators the true sequal to predator. But actually this is all so interesting
That is just wrong strange and disturbing....whats next you never seen Texas Chainsaw Massacre! ...Dude....PEOPLE IN THE FILM GET LITERALLY MASSACRED WITH CHAINSAWS! Nope, not that one either. Just watched AVP on Friday though! Gonna watch Requiem next. ....kids these days
