Aliens Vs Predator: Requiem - Commentary with

[@BansheeEnt]

I adore the commentaries that you and Rob do. So much fun.

[@OliverHarper]

Thats very kind of you to say! :D

[@silverbackentertainment237]

The AVP commentaries have been very entertaining and funny. Would be interesting to see a reboot of AVP at some point set in space with the marines.

[@LoganWood121]

"This guy isn't the first choice for anybody." 😂 Rob is savage. Loved this.

[@madcapmakov2]

Well spoken

[@patrickpoti3084]

Didn’t know you’re also doing audio commentaries, up until recently. I’m lovin‘ it; great content!

[@ronmexico6901]

From what I heard they pushed to use special brand new cameras to shoot the movie but it ended up making it way too dark. they decided instead of stopping production, that they would fix it in post. It was poor filmmaking. There’s actually some behind-the-scenes footage of the one of the brothers telling a crewmember “Shut up Dave” when he says it’s not bright enough. Lol.

[@derekamorosi]

You and Rob seriously do the best commentaries because you’re both equally knowledgeable and very funny. Both of you guys also don’t always 100% agree everything which makes the conversation a lot more legitimate because you both explain your own points of view. They should include these commentaries on the official blu ray releases of these films. I hope you’ll maybe do predators next? Maybe even THE predator, oh boy lol.

[@derekamorosi]

I’m hijacking my own comment to just say I was kidding about anymore predator films, after two bad movies in a row you guys need a break.. Maybe just from the whole franchise itself. I will keep my fingers crossed for an alien commentary in the future, keep up the good work Oliver, cheers.

[@probablynotmyname8521]

Apart from being very dull this movie has a real nasty streak that put me off, the scene in the hospital was the tipping point. It was just gratuitous for no good reason.

[@HumanHamCube]

It's very immature. Alien³ is a nasty film but it's handled maturely. It takes its themes and subjects seriously.

[@Darstag]

Absolutely HORRID film. Worst of both franchises

[@kiloomelow4269]

Agreed the worst

[@Flyboyflame937]

Wrong it is a ok movie it’s better than predators the one with the autistic kid and it’s better than predator requiem or whatever it’s called be real it’s not the worst those two are

[@Flyboyflame937]

Wait my bad didn’t read the caption this definitely terrible lol

[@Flyboyflame937]

All I saw was alien vs predator lol

[@kiloomelow4269]

@larryjohnson9988 you can't be serious...better than predators 😂😂...you and watch anyone who reviewed both movies and tell me who prefers AVPR over predators or even gives it a better review

[@SomethingThatSCREAMS]

Love these commentaries! And this channel.

[@hiattgrey9161]

This is without a doubt the worst movie I have ever seen. So dark, so unnecessarily gory, and it almost killed both franchises.

[@imperialtutor8687]

This movie was the absolute deathknell to both franchises really. Even newer outings like Prey which are confidently made can’t recapture the magic from the old movies.

[@SomethingThatSCREAMS]

Prey didn't recapture the magic of the original Predator. But it's easily the best and most well made of the sequels.

[@NebLleb]

Tell me about it. Alien: Romulus was strong, but because it served as a spiritual sequel/remake of Resurrection (albeit an improved sequel/remake), I can't help but still think that although they're on the right track, the new Alien and Predator films won't be as good as what came before.

[@kidpizz]

Oliver, you and Bad Movie are the best commentary bros!

[@jeffcarlin5866]

I love this film. I saw it with my father at the local cinema. He loved it as well. Before we saw it, we suffered through a terrible meal with my stepmom's family -- who are a bunch of religious fanatics. This movie was a total blast for us. I like the first Alien Versus Predator flick, but THIS schlock-fest is a masterpiece.

[@thethinkingcatakaneonormie3527]

Actually this is the last of either of the franchises that I really enjoyed as the idea of a Predator Winston Wolf clearing up the evidence of alien life on the earth

[@FourthDrawerDown]

There are parts of AVP:R that almost resemble a John Hughes film but then the bully gets dissolved in acid 😱

[@HumanHamCube]

Colin and Greg were [insert expletive] to their vfx staff at the VFX company they run(maybe now ran) horror stories you can find. Nouveau Riche braggarts. They needed to pay their crew and also on time. The VFX industry is rough, it's infinitely worse with guys like that in charge.

[@madcapmakov2]

“People are dying! We need gun!” “What happened to your FACE!?”

[@Maxxroad]

You have to turn up the lighting. The movie is dark.

[@alienboy1322]

I barely remember watching this film. That's how low the Alien vs Predator series gotten.

[@FilmCram]

oh great just listened to your AVP the other day - tho your copy must have had about 16 mins of extra footage compared to disney+!

Man, this one was a stinker. Legit the only Alien movie I flat out dislike.

Don't forget that it's also a Predator film. So it counts as the only Predator film you dislike.

[@kdcndw1]

Maternity ward scene was revolting and resulted in walkouts when I saw this movie in the theater.

[@clarkharrell2227]

I was 14 and a mega Alien and Predator fan when I saw this in theaters, and I wanted to walk out.

[@james87367]

I’m all up for gore and horror but the maternity scene is incredibly bad taste and only made for complete psychopaths to get off on.

[@neathlanda7621]

Watch Snuff 42 or smth, forgot the exact name. This is some real hardcore gore with maternity. This is nothing

[@redpillnibbler4423]

It was unnecessary and stupid but I’ve seen far worse.

[@mobstercassidy9400]

Burt Gummer, played by Michael Gross, is the the one you're thinking of from Tremors.

[@paulfern78]

My first & lasting memory of this film was & still is........I can't see anything!!!!

[@mikesantillanmx5530]

The only thing that I liked on that movie was the pregnant woman bursting out by chestbursters (or wombursters, maybe?). It remains me the birth scenes on Species 2, but out of that, I was terribly dissapointed, because I love Alien, and I had fun with the first AvP. I had no idea this movie have had such a low budget!

[@HumanHamCube]

Probably the only shot you could see

[@alexpritchard7566]

Wow thanks 1000000 for this Oli

[@peartreeproductions1993]

Remember when we all thought Alien 3 was a total shit show? Now I look back and think, it wasn't that bad. Especially with the production from hell.

[@justinriley]

Even Resurrection had Ron Perlman, at least.

[@TheBfutgreg]

If Newt and Hicks didn't get killed offscreen it could've been nearly on the level of 1 or 2, I wasn't around at the time of its release to know the reactions, but I eventually found out like fifth-hand due to the internet but yeah that seemed like a shitty thing to do continuity wise.....not sure how that'd gel with the more depressing vibe of the movie but....at least the Director (David Fincher) is incredibly talented based on his other works that someone out there liked and he made a good looking movie minus script

[@TheBfutgreg]

​@@justinriley And flawless basketball no-look shot!! AND TUCO FROM BREAKING BAD!!! AND Winona Ryder? Plus .....one of the most creepy and unsettling monster designs in a feature film, that Newborn...thing, it's fucking terrifying, Xenos plus the Queen are "scary" but they're cool and fun to imagine in extra situations....but that thing, it's so slimy and gross, like the Xeno spit DNA mixed with Human sweat and BO/Nocturnal Emissions DNA for that to be every gland on its skin Plus the real eyes, and the pathetic yet violent nature was really awkward, reminds me of the Orphan of Kos from Bloodborne tbh, a slimy disgusting creature, born into the world recently with a deep sadness but insatiable urge to kill everything it meets, asides from its "mother" Ellen Ripley

[@probablynotmyname8521]

I liked alien 3 up until charles dance is killed.

[@DrQuagmire1]

@@justinriley agreed, and I hated how "Alien Resurrection" ruined Ripley's self-sacrifice at the end of the 3rd movie

[@jacobturnerart]

A lot of problems could have been solved by Wolf turning up to an aftermath in a Racoon city style situation. Large town, a handful of survivors and lots of aliens. Yutani have sealed it off and are observing which explains why no military or federal presence. So you get the city setting on the cheap because you don't need a big cast.

[@ricksanders3967]

It's so sad, man. Especially when the setup was all there. The Aliens could've been stand-ins for zombies, the Predator or the Predalien could've been a stand-in for Mr. X/Nemesis, and Weyland/Yutani = Umbrella... 😔

[@DeltaAssaultGaming]

Prediction for 75% of this commentary: “Man, it’s really dark, I can’t see shit.”

[@OliverHarper]

haha pretty much!

[@BRIANONEALSINGLETON]

[@boshrek4759]

This a a good example of how Predator / Alien movies are in our blood. Horrible movies that should be forgotten yet here we are you guys talking for a hour 43 minutes and me listening (mind you I'm at work on my computer with head phones on). Great job guys. I enjoy these commentaries.!

[@YSNReview]

This is one of the best Predators movies there is, characters are great, action is great, comedy is great, the girl from 24 series is great. Ending is insane, you just cannot blink with the nonstop action and stories.

[@NebLleb]

[@Lokiawa]

I was shocked you guys skipped over that the pizza delivery manager only hung around for the (presumably) teen girl (the blonde one that the delivery boy crushed hard for).

[@allanspraggon7207]

Surely the Preds would have known their mate had a Xenomorph in him after having lits of experience with such prey??

[@redpillnibbler4423]

I agree.It completely ruins the Predator street cred when they’re portrayed as morons.

[@tommyboi9]

When I was 15 and saw this movie I remember all the baby stuff just being gnarly, now after having my own children and experiencing my missus going through child birth etc I absolutely hate all the stuff that involves the pregnant women and babies being murdered, so fucking distasteful I just skip this now as I just can’t handle watching that shit these days.

[@HonkHill-ev4hk]

I dont believe they had limited actors to pull from...this movie had a smaller budget...and even self ur telling me you couldnt get some recognized faces that are not expensive...shows how low the budget was...the human elements in this movie adds nothing..only annoying in the movie..to dark..mix that with a poor story with poor characters and low budget was jus destined for disaster.. Its not even watchable to be a guilty pleasure...

Just a comment for the algorithm. Been really busy lately, Still have an Audio commentary for Wrath of Khan by Drinker, and both your AVP ones. I will dig out my DVD's and listen to these. Yes, I own Requiem and no, I did not pay full price for it. This is one of those movies that had potential and a few good moments but was severely lacking.

[@andyking7621]

Enjoyed that chaps*, thank you. * Your bit, not the film itself...had that playing ... Goodness me it really is awful.

[@redpillnibbler4423]

AvP & AvP R are tangential to the main Alien and Predator series.I view them as not canon.As such they can be watched as silly B movies - sometimes you just want to switch the brain off and enjoy a bit of shallow popcorn entertainment.Both films are 70% shite but have some ok elements. The worst thing about both films are the truly awful characters,I really hate nearly all the characters in both films.

[@mitchelllawrence2798]

I honestly feel this film would've been received better if it wasn't so dark. Over the years, I've come to appreciate the film more. We got a badass elite Predator Wolf and an awesome design in a PreAlien.

[@cannon26ify]

I mean the movie looks no worse than the long night from GOT season 8.

[@james87367]

This film is how NOT to make an Alien/Predator film. The kills were too dark and out there. Alienating the audience. Who the fu*k wants to see stuff like the maternity ward scene. It’s not cool at all. I’m shocked the studio signed off on it.

[@redpillnibbler4423]

They overcompensated for the lack of gore criticisms of the first film but missed the target altogether! Idiots!

[@BradLad56]

Probably the one saving grace this film has is that Wolf is the best part.

[@TearfulFriend18]

“I know it’s nitpicking, watch is something I don’t like to do.” Jeez, you could’ve fooled me. I’m all for listening to people roast bad movies but this was just absurd with the nitpick criticism. This movie has no fades to black. It has hard cuts to black, and they’re mainly at the start, nowhere near the point where you pointed them out. You yourself complained about the pool and when the film itself showed you how it got drained so quickly it couldn’t just be a “Oh, my bad.” it had to be “Oh well… god I hate that blue liquid, it makes no sense if the Predator is erasing all traces.” It’s erasing all traces of Xenomorphs. The Predator could give less of a shit if people find out what IT does, it just needs to erase evidence of Xenos. Unless that was contradicted at some point. I don’t think this movie is very good, but this type of criticism is just exhausting to me. For what it’s worth I do greatly enjoy all of your retrospectives, I think they’re excellent.
