My idea of a perfect AvP movie is... (Please excuse the briefness)

A terraformed planet, say with approx 500 - 1000 communists. A large ore and freighter transport appears out of Portal hole (or some method of fast speed travel.) Looking damaged etc, it is on course for the landing strip, where a massive facility that doubles as the entire city stands nearby etc but is not being piloted and crashes into the strip...

Planet security (some could say Police) armed, move towards the ship and enter it and see all the damage done inside it. They look in the Freighters hangar and see a Derelicte-looking ship VERY similar to the one from Alien. The Police move towards the ship and notice trolleys near it where things have been obviously unloaded from it...

They move to a room which has labs and medical facilities and they see where the trolleys have been put, littered with 100's of eggs in the room... When the eggs begin to open up, the Policeman in front feels liquid dripping onto his shoulder. As he looks up slowly a quick swoosh and scene ends with a quick scream and some small arm fire...

A massive Carrier in the chasms of space is brought in to view and it cuts to a room with screens and computers and the screen begins beeping and a Log opens up and the details of Beacons of Distress are sounding from the Terraformed planet (A man walks in looking very aged and fraile) reads the screen and prints it out, tearing it off and running to the Captains quarters. As door opens he hands him the papers../

Cuts across to the Space near planet where another Portal hole opens and a sophisticated ship enters (obviously the predators ship). It goes to the Pod bays where many masked creatures are moving to take their places, loading weapons and armour onto themselves and their pods. Then the Elder Predator enters more menacing than all, taller and much more scarred, armour more grand and weapons very worn but well looked after... They take their positions and are fired out one after another to a space about 5 - 10 km from the city's Megaplex.

Cuts to the Marine ships and many men and women (approx 50 - 60) are getting ready and equipped for their mission, and they are making arrangements for when something goes wrong... Introductions are made and the token hero is revealed. They are then briefed and get aboard the ships and leave for the planet... Portal opens and they emerge and leave the Carrier and move towards the planet, passing the Predators ship.

Sound good so far?

I'm not sure the planet from AvPR was supposed to be their home planet, it was more like a monitoring station. I always assumed their home planet would have jungles and stuff. Anyway, we know they breathe nitrogen and we know that nitrogen is the richest element even in our air, so they could have an atmosphere with more nitrogen and just enough oxygen.

Death Wraith >>
Yeah maybe, but I still kinda liked that planet from AVP-R, it looked hella sick... But yeah I do agree though, before I saw AVPR I always pictured the predator planet as a jungle planet too. But still, it doesn't make sense that the Yautja are actually kidnapping their prey, why not just hunt on earth?
Also I read on IMDB that Robert Rodriguez is totally ignoring P2, AVP & AVPR and this will just be a follow up to the first Predator. Now if there weren't a bunch of comic books, games and those movies that kinda came out and helped build the mythology of the predators, I wouldn't mind, but now it's like they've built up a whole mythology, so why ignore it? Just because some didn't like the movies doesn't mean he should ignore them all together.
Anyway, I had big doubts about Terminator Salvation when I heard Mc G was directing it and I ended up loving it, so I'm not gonna get too worried about what's going on with Predators yet.

Cerrata>> Yeah that does sound good for a AVP movie...
I wish they would make a 3rd AVP movie and have it take place in the future and have it set on Planet Ryushi and show the story about Machiko from the comics

Well no offense mr loco, but everyone's ignoring AvP and AvPR. At least from what i know, most people here don't consider them canon, because they're just silly movies.

But hey, one explanation to why preds are kidnapping humans could be that different clans have different teritorry agreements and these guys don't have any rights for hunting on Earth so they have to steal humans or something, i don't know...

Well I already know u don't like AVP you said it like hella times already and you already know I like it, and I do know everybody does not feel the same as you so you don't have to act like you know what everybody else feels. I know quite a few Predator fans who like it, but most alien fans I know hate it (and if you wanna see how many like it, just look at the AVP Requiem reviews on this site, there's a few bad ones and a few good ones, all in all the users of this site has given it a total of 4 stars out of 5), but either way that doesn't matter right now cuz that's not my point. My point is They're ignoring Predator 2 as well, now what the fuck is that? Everybody use to say the same thing about Predator 2 as AVP when it came out back in the day, the critics hated it, alotta people said it was a let down, it wasn't until years later people started praising it, so now because of the bad reviews from 20 years ago Rodriguez is gonna ignore it? That's dumb. Shit I'm starting to sound like you Death Wraith, bashing the movie before it's even out, well we'll see how it goes, maybe it'll be a masterpiece and maybe it'll be a masterpiece of shit who knows until it comes out right?

Either way Death Wraith, let's stop talking about who likes the AVP movies and who doesn't cuz that's not the topic we're suppose to be on and everybody has the right to they're own opinion. I like AVP 1 & 2 and you don't, end of story, let's keep up the discussion of Predators.

Seriously, i've known some of these guys for years now. I've been reading their reviews and opinions on each of the movies for a long time. Trust me, they don't like AvP. Also yea, i gave AvPR a 7.5 out of 10 in my review in a topic some time ago, but the 4 out of 5 stars in the movies section was because there were only three reviews out of which one was lilwrek's, another was i have no idea whose, and the other was our dear moderator Pv2's, who gave it 1 star. ONE STAR. So LOL at YOU.

But yea, really, the topic is "since no one liked AvP, will anyone care that Predators is happening".
