Channel Awesome nightmare on elm street remake
Rob zombie's halloween II
Review a nightmare on elm street! I don’t care which one.
Sharknado 2 or Ghost Shark
I saw this in the theater. My favorite part was when the credits started, and a guy in the back shouted "THIS MOVIE SUCKS!!!" and everyone in the theater laughed and we all shared a moment of solidarity
I'm so sad that I couldn't let the likes stay at 123, but I had to press that like button.
At least you got a laugh out of it: I got so annoyed and bored that I got drunk and fell asleep at the end!
I was too traumatized by the pregnant women scene to laugh.
Sounds made up
@@MinscFromBaldursGate92 ikr. That scene just left me in a permanent state of what the everloving fuck is this? And not even in a good way...
I think the set was so dark the actors genuinely didn't know what was going on
Callum McGinn you needed the light of 100000000 suns just to see a bit on what the absolute f*ck is going on
Actually if you look up the behind the scenes the lightning was not like this on set.
@@KidaMilo89 The studio decided to fuck with the contrast in post-production. My guess is a test audience didn't like some of the effects.
Geoffrey Sorkin when you watch it on PC and add a lighting effect, you see a TON more action and gore. (Watch Dead Meat ‘s kill count to see the lighting effect in action)
I think they darkened the action scenes to try get a Chinese release. US fans going to see an R-Rated Alien-Predator movie would, expect and want, the amount of gore the lightened movie gives us.
@@cjwrench07 Honestly, it seems similar to what happened with the thing prequel. Someone (in that case a test audience, and I think this one as well) didn't like the effects a director who was an effects artist made, so the studio fucked with things because they put their faith in focus groups over filmmakers.
I love the line in this movie
"The government would never lie to people"
now THAT has to be the biggest commentary in history.
I was couldn't decide if she was a dumb o feel sorry for her.
I hate it when movies are so dark that it's either pitch black or highlights, with nothing in between. makes it hard to see what's happening.
Yeah, even the film, Pitch Black, is brighter than this.
@@JaniacTheHedgehog it was like the first film hid the creature till the end but this time you never see it it's like they forgot a big reveal at the end
Blair Witch 2016, and that was only one of the few problems with the film.
NC should review that as well.
Like Fan4stic
"The government doesn't lie to us!"
And the whole theater laughed. No really, I remember that very clearly than the entire movie.
Maybe the eh movie was one huge jiok
Well tbf it was an intended joke so.
My theater clapped, when the girl got thrwongstarred to the wall :p
I barely remember seeing this movie but I spit out my drink at that line watching this review. That and the line "I hope we are both wrong" Like what the hell were the writers thinking about when putting together this script?
Social community I guess?
So space truckers can't defeat them, Space Marines can't defeat them, space monk prisoners can't feed them, and space mercenaries can't beat them. But, a pizza delivery boy can defeat them. Sure why not.
When you got advanced aliens messing with you sometimes you need a Philip J Fry.
And in some cases the advanced supreme Hunter race can't even beat them with the very weapons the pizza boy just picks up and can use
It like Larry boy and the fib from outer space. A huge Alien rampage through the city and they don't call the army but they call in a guy who can only shoot plungers from his ear. The city is doomed.
I've been a pizza delivery boy.
You learn to deal with some serious shit. Aliens got nuthin' on us.
PIZZA TIME!
It's almost like the directors saw AVP and went "hey, you know how one of the biggest criticisms of the movie is that there isn't really that much fighting between the aliens and predators in a movie called Alien vs Predator? Well in our movie, there will be even LESS of that!"
Also, how the hell did they watch the finished product or really any of these finished scenes and find the level of lighting acceptable? You can't see half the damn movie!
The first criticism is flawed. A avp movie with no story would basically be a Wrestlingshow as a movie, really boring to watch. In avp 1 we get to see the interesting past of yautja (which we know almost nothing about from the movies) visiting earth and how they used xenomorphs for rituals. In addition there is Weyland as a character who is important for the whole franchise and Alexa Woods is pretty cool too, especially the dynamic between her and scar. The second movie doesn't have that interesting characters, but alien without humans can't work and in my opinion avpr has great horror moments that wouldn't feel the same if you don't know anything about the characters. The only real flaw avpr has is the lighting just like you said
Some people just don't give a shit
Hey I’m the son and I was just scrolling around for fun and saw this and wanted to say the company that was doing the light of the movie did it all wrong and didn’t want to fix it and it was too expensive to fix so they just had to send it out with bad lighting
@@jacbas3216 cope
@@KillswitchJohn nope
There are only THREE good things that came out of this dumpster fire:
1. The Predalien has a really cool style.
2. That scarred Predator looked pretty cool as well.
3. The opening is actually really nice!
But that's about it.
Predator is named wolf
I feel like if you could actually see the movie it would play better.
Need more Alien vs Predator
Fun fact the predator race is called Yautja
@@joshholland8564 thanks for letting me know. I always forget what the actual name is called.
“The government doesn’t tell lies”
*Seinfield Theme Plays*
Artemis Wolf
This movie is now a comedy
I remember seeing this in theaters. It was really bad but that line did get a chuckle out of everyone in the theater
Or maybe Always Sunny theme, since we already have Crickett here.
The time were the gang fights an alien
‘The Government doesn’t lie to people.’
Please vote today people.
Isn't that ironic that *The Dark Knight* is brighter than that movie?
In that it was better lit or that more thought was put in to it? I'm just kidding. I know the answer is both.
It is.
Gawd. Eraserhead is brighter than this.
"Doug, how do we get more views on our next video?"
"I just got a cat."
"PERFECT!"
Purrfect.
I think you mean *"Practically purrfect in every way."*
Works every time! And he has awesome cats.
"What else do you think you would see there, an Alien driving a car?"
If the Predator can fool the driver by grabbing a decapitated arm of a dead soldier and actually gives him a thumbs up, ANYTHING IN THAT UNIVERSE IS POSSIBLE.
But that’s the newest Predator, though, right?
@@amosdraak3536 yes.
@@jamesb.russell2942
Thanks, Sir.
How dare you remind me of the existence of that poor excuse for a movie
Predator on a motorcycle! That would be the coolest thing ever
This movie came out in 2007 on Christmas Day.
To quote the AVGN: “What were they thinking?”
Fuck yeah! I watched it on Christmas day! My parents saw Juno, I saw AVP:R. It's not great, but idgaf. I like it. Lol
We do not mention him here he does not exist
@@ChildOfChaos07 your parents did a smart move
Apparently this movie was too dark because of a camera error, but the Director ignored the Camera crew.
No no iso 200 is fine shut up, I seen it on a vlog. Damn unions thinking they know better than me the director.
@@meldrickedwards1785
Yeah, and supposedly told the first camera man that brought it up to "Shut Up and do Your job, while I do mine", and then went back to chatting up some ladies.
@@orinanime I, too, would like to see evidence that this movie was botched.
And this is why the Brothers Strause should just stick to special effects and not directing. I mean, really, say what you want about Paul W.S. Anderson, at least the guy could direct some decent action scenes and we could at least tell what was going on in the previous movie, especially during the decent third act when it was just Lex and Scar.
th-cam.com/video/0B-6x1pKgDI/w-d-xo.html&t=1m3s at this time in the video you can hear it.
The best parts of AVPR
-Wolf vs the Predalien
-The credits
rockstarcrossing Wolf HIMSELF is the best part of this film. Seriously, Wolf is the most badass Predator that has ever been put on the screen.
- End Fight
- Wolf
- new yautja tech and weapons
- Predalien
- Insight on a yautja planet
- music referring to original Predator
- yutani scene
Yeah Wolf vs. the Predalien was the best part of the film.
Wolf killing aliens and wolf vs predalien
I mean scene with Kids and pregnant woman was also creative
6:00
Pizza guy: hey a couch
Michelangelo: dudes don’t freak out but I think there’s somebody here
☠️😹😹
Basically what I thought of too. Alien vs Predator vs Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles doesn't sound so bad to be honest.
@Phillip just scrub it, and fabreze it, its good as new
The TMNT would own the Aliens.
It might work as long as Michael Bay has nothing to do with.
This movie is so dark. Not thematically, literally. Turn on a light!!
feels like a dc movie man
@@Itachi17509 Atleast in Batman v Superman we could see the two fighting and it had Good Actors and defenders.
There’s actually a set video where one of the cinematographers is looking at the footage from the final fight scene and says “I’m getting real dark pictures here Dave” and the director responds with “shut up Paul”. Not even joking.
Its almost impossible to watch because of it
Like Fantastic Four
Nostalgia Kitten - I sniff it so you don't have to
2Scribble 😂😂😂 well played 👏👏👏👏
Fiona Snow good one
Hahah!
Fun fact
The final Alien vs Predator scene was nominated for an MTV Movie Award for Best Fight (a scene where it’s all dark and you can’t see shit)
On the plus side, it was nominated for 2 Razzies for Worst Prequel or Sequel and Worst Excuse for a Horror Movie
I feel like nostalgia critic just wanted to show everyone his cat.....WHICH I AM 100% OK WITH!
It's the Nostalgia Kitten
@@ethanor "Hello, I'm the Nostalgia Kitten, I sniff it, so you don't have to!"
JG E or “hello I’m the Nostalgia Cat, I scratch it, so you don’t have to.”
That cat has gorgeous eyes. I've never seen ones like on a cat before.
THE 🧢
Producers: We want this film to be dark.
Director: No problem. No light sources any where when shooting.
To quote Squidward from Pizza Delivery: "THAT'S NOT WHAT I HAD IN MIND!"
@@archivedaccount5990 Wouldn't be surprised if the same director went on to do Fant4stic.
Douchebag: and I will kill babies. Innocent babies
Seriously, why is this film so dark?! I could close my eyes and wouldn't make much of difference
@@emanuelrojas2 Wouldn't be surprised if the same director went on to do Fant4stic.
"Hey, our first Aliens vs. Predator was pretty well liked. Though, audiences didn't like the people. What should we do with the sequel?"
"...More people!"
"But sir, you said-"
" *I SAID MORE PEOPLE DAMN IT* "
Neo Machine “But why are siphoning the lighting budget into the actor’s paychecks?”
“You’re fired.”
I mean it's pretty similar logic to the Transformers movies.
"Our first movie had few likable and or interesting character and fans dislike that"
"Okay, get rid of all likable or interesting characters"
Also, make sure you _kill an entire maternity ward full of babies and pregnant women_ .
Fuckin' what
Why is it so hard to make a AVP movie? They have freaking comics based on them, it should be one of the easiest movies to make, they have a literal instruction manual on how to make it!
4:13 it should also be noted that her “soldier” uniform is all wrong. Her patch suggests she’s in 101st airborne which is an army division but she’s wearing a USMC desert MARPAT uniform. This movie I swear.
Also, I bet her base was put on lockdown when they realized they were missing a pair of nigh vision goggles that she gave her daughter.
Yeah that's a Marine, look at the name tapes.
?UMSC?
Unless there was a massive uniform change between now and 2007 I missed, the uniform is most definitely not marine. The collar, cover, and breast pockets make that obvious. Looking up the modern army uniform, the only difference I can see is that the shoulder pocket looks backwards for some reason. That is not even close to a marine or navy uniform. I don't know enough soldiers or airmen to compare their uniforms though.
I should also point out that Hollywood tends to fail at military uniforms for a variety of reasons, chief among them is that they don't hire military advisors to ask what's right, or worse, they hire from the wrong branch. For example, you could hire a marine as an advisor for military stuff in your film, but that doesn't mean he'll understand the procedures and 'isms' of the army or airforce, or even know the procedures of tanks and aircrafts if he didn't specialize in them. Obviously civilians know even less.
@@AmericanZergling Just look at the camo. It's fictionalized to be legally distinct from actual Marines but that's definitely the desert MARPAT. Marines got two MARPATs. Army uses OCPs only these days and in 2006/2007 it was either ACU/UCP or the at-the-time experimental "scorpion" (basically proto-OCP, you can see the soldiers wearing it in Transformers from 2007), neither of which this character is wearing.
@@jamesb.russell2942 The camo is marine, but the uniform is not. Obviously it's all wrong, but I wouldn't call it a marine uniform just because of the color. As I said before, pockets and cover are more similar to the army OCP than the marine MARPAT.
That cat is amazing. We need this feline in future reviews.
Also, yeah, the movie sucks. Which is a shame because it had so much potential to be BETTER than the first film, with the R-Rating, Suburban setting, and PredAlien concept!
The bigger issue was the unlikable characters and the god damn dark pictures!!!
I actually loved this movie! ^^
"Mouses"
Chaplin is so precious! And that whole ad was hilarious.
"I'm a really weird cat!"
"This is great!"
“The government doesn’t lie to people.” That has got to be the most naive thing I’ve ever heard. Lol.
But I sure got a lot of laughs out of it. 😂🤣
"And when I came to, she was a poodle! But you all knew that."
...Uh, what?
Well, you *know*
Ms. Yutani is the CEO of the Japanese Yutani Corporation who buys out the Weyland Corporation after Peter and Vickers death in Prometheus and merge it into the Weyland-Yutani Corp. that we know in the Alien films, they also did business with Borgia Industries (Concrete Jungle fans know what i'm talking about) and the Predator pistol advanced human tech by centuries similar to the Mass Relays in Mass Effect allowing space travel and advanced cybernetics and weaponry also seen in the future films, it's a messed up timeline.
SOMEONE ELSE WHO CAUGHT IT!!! THANK YOU!!!
Bruh, your "Concrete Jungle" reference made my day
You get a huge thumbs up for the Concrete Jungle reference
Concrete Jungle?
Predator: Concrete Jungle was a game on the PS2 & Gamecube it was pretty decent you played as a Predator who botched a hunt and gets banished for a century and after humans use the tech he foolishly left behind to further their civilization and kill & capture other Predtors he returns to earth for redemption and revenge
I don't imagine many people care, but Ms Yutani (the Japanese chick in the end credits) is the one who helped establish what would eventually become the Weyland-Yutani Corporation, the company that pretty much runs every major operation in the Alien franchise. Ripley and crew worked for them and pretty much every human baddie they encountered during the Alien movies has some link to that corporation. They probably developed a lot of their more advanced tech based on the Predator's tech they salvaged from the crash. It was supposed to be a nod to the origin of the company that caused Ripley and co so much grief. They just did it really poorly. Should have used the Weyland name instead.
Yes, well, perhaps you didn't pay attention to the video when NC clearly states that he has no idea who she was supposed to be. Forgive me for thinking there may be other people that also don't know who she is or why they included that scene but would like to find out.
I thought I was the only one that got it, yet I am only recently aware of the finer details of the franchise due to countless media reviews before me.
"Building Better Worlds". Weyland-Yutani also exists in the Firefly 'verse.
@Adrijana Radosevic Have you at least see the video?
Thank you it was bugging me
14:42 "Screw the women and children first shit man" man even has the same facial hair as Doug.
The hospital scene literally made me sick.
Yeah, it's probably one of the most uncomfortable "you went a little too far" scenes in any movie I've ever seen.
Considering the xenomorphs are kind of "fear of rape given physical form", no duh. Seriously, go back and watch the original. The last shot of one character alive is the alien's bladed tail snaking up between their legs... they are wearing heavy working pants and a pair of boots... when their body is found, the boots and pants are both gone.
I think there's a line between violating murder with regular people vs the same thing with PREGNANT WOMEN and BABIES.
@@GrizbyK72 not denying that. Just saying there is a /reason/ the Xenomorph is uncomfortable, to put it WAY too mildly. Like I said, they are the fear of forcible sexual violation incarnate. The design theory behind them is fascinating. This.... Skwick... is a result of cinematic one-upsmanship. Gotta keep making those explosions bigger, those power levels higher, the battles more epic... and the horror more gruesome and terrifying. This is the point where the character can literally solo all of creation, the battle takes up 45 minutes of the 2 hour film, and the alien mouth-rapes a pregnant woman with its spawn and feasts on the flesh of infants while other immobilized women scream in terror.
I Agree, for me I think Doug and a lot of other people are getting the wrong idea about it, I don’t think it deserves credit at all, just because it did something extreme doesn’t automatically mean it should be congratulated for it
I want a whole video of Doug narrating his cat
Handington what a great idea!
Aw, thank you! ^-^
YEEEEEAH! GOOD IDEA!
@@tadeozapata5447 :D
I want that too but just for the WTH factor right at the end the cat has a human mouth superimposed over it and its voiced by Markiplier
When your cat is better then the movie
Well, let's be honest; he's a really awesome cat!
THAN!
@@MrAlcazar Thank you
That's not a high bar to clear.
Daniel Staples your comment is like last jedi.dumb,really good.
I watched this with my uncle, we made fun of it so much. We have every character random nicknames and the movie was set to have it where everybody spoke Italian.
Showing a pregnant woman get... re-impregnanted by a Xenomorph feels needlessly cruel; at least let it happen offscreen. Yes, you should show and not tell, but in some cases, simply alluding to something can be enough, even if it's verbal
This movie just does everything wrong
And I once again assume that someone who wrote that scene in the script probably has a DeviantART page full of weird fetish stories and fetish artwork.

Congrats on the new kitty, Doug! 🐱
i can really relate to the cat, sniffing scratching posts its great
Now he just has to teach the cat that the plural of mouse is "mice" and not "mouses".
What a great cat!
"You're too stupid to talk, Dale. Shut up!"
I actually love this line and have used it in daily life.
16:54 You dont know who is Yutani??
Weiland Yutani??? The bad compani that is in almost every Alien Movie????
I know this is a bit late, but, a common misconception on the name is Weiland-Tutani (for some reason) so Doug might be operating under this misconception. Though, even if he wasn't, I feel that people, generally, don't make the connections between a pair of companies and their combined name.
Nowadays, Square Enix is all there is, but there are plenty of people who could throw a game in by 90s Squaresoft and never realize it's the same company as the guys who made all those awful FF13 games. Though, at the same time, they might notice Enix as a standalone (because it's particularly odd, pithy and simple) of course... if I thought the name of the company was Square Enicks, I might be pretty confused at this other, knockoff company (Enix), trying to take Square Enicks' good name and use it for itself to make knockoff sales.
Of course, not saying it's not wrong, or shouldn't be corrected... just that it's honestly not that surprising, especially with how many movies he needs to watch, per year, to keep his revenue stream flowing. He's probably got more useless pop culture knowledge than we know, by that fact alone. I can forgive him for this one.
peter weyland (the founder of the weyland yutani corp.) appeared in the first AVP movie. thats just his wife which no cares about
Weyland Yutani
He's legit just confused because "who the fuck is MISS YUTANI"
there was no build up to her or anything. unless you've seen prev films and recognise the name, you'll be scratching your head. they either should've built her up to be the big bad, or have her as a main character like Weyland was in AVP1
Omg I’m still not over how good the new intro is!!! Ugh such talent!!! ♥️♥️♥️
Look for Beetlejuice intro to get the reference.
Same here
Agreed
RIGHT?!
Me neither! Most of the nostalgiaween intros are awesome, but this one takes the cake!
Doug, what do you mean you had no idea who she was? Her last name was Yutani. As in, The Weyland Yutani Corporation? The Shadowy corporation that's involved in every Alien film? The point was that this is how Weyland Yutani was supposed to have gained interest in Alien life-forms and tech.
ture but what's her full name
She's only refered to as Yutani
Oh thank god some one said it, i was scrolling through the comments looking to see if ANYONE pointed this out and all i've seen is comments about cat and nothing really commenting about the review or how some one who does a review of something and talks like he knows the Alien's Franchise cannot piece together Wayland from the last movie and Yutani from this one is Wayland-Yutani Corporation from the Aliens movies that was the main enemy in the movies.
It might have been a flub, but he wrote that in this review, which implies he didn't know who Yutani was supposed to be.
Anyone who is an Alien fan should know about Weyland-Yutani.
7:51 Yosemite Sam Voice over the Alien coming in is hilarious! Critic you are a Genius!
LMAO!!!
LOL
I forgot this was the Chaplin's breakout episode. And makes this whole episode 100% better
hahaha your kitty stole the whole review~
*swings mouse in front of Chaplin*
Hit the bad guy! Hit the bad guy!
15:17 no happy ending I guess 😂
Years ago at the end of his review of Devil he had an add where he said he was getting a kitten. He's finally done it now.
AVP: Requiem, the movie where none of the crew or cast members has ever heard of the word "light".
Like Game of thrones season 8
The straw that broke the camel's back.
Hi I’m Chaplin. I’m a cat!
This is Doug Walker, what a great guy!
This is Rob Walker, what a great guy!
This is Mike Mohaud......... I’m not going there
What if this took place in a city, like Predator 2? That movie is underrated
Predator 2 was very underappreciated.
That would be like Resident Evil 2, but with Yautjas and Xenomorphs.
I think the thing I hated most, is the scene you DIDN'T MENTION. The SECOND, opening scene. Where the "Predator" (Bounty Hunter apperantally?) Gets the call, selects his/her/their (?) weapons, and heads to Earth. The reason I hated this, is not because it's awful. In fact, it's single handedly the most amazing footage I've ever seen. What's so damn sad, is that later footage shows the Predator playing "Men in Black" by disposing of bodies & evidence. This PROVES that at some point, there was a WHOLE DIFFERENT, plot to the film. An interesting one that ACTUALLY features the predator from their point of view. I think if that had been done, the film would've been waaaay more interesting. Or maybe it's just me. Anyone else feel this way?
Tomes of Awesome to be fair the yautja showed in requiem is considered a ‘cleaner’ someone to clean up messy situations and is even assigned to carry out assassinations which is why he used the blue goop to dispose of the evidence :), I thought it was kinda neat and shows how advanced they are in many ways.
He's a 'cleaner'. Basically someone who cleans up big problems/messes. Literally in this case. The predator was even named Wolf behind the scenes as an homage to the cleaner character played by Harvey Keitel in Pulp Fiction.
I know. I just couldn't think of the word at the time. ROFLMAO But that's what I mean. If the whole movie followed him. Cleaning up evidence, killing the alien, it would've been fantastic!!! The fact that such a great idea, got pushed down into such small, distant scenes, actually makes me hate the film MORE, for that reason.
Tomes of Awesome i would go even further than you : i would have fancy an AVP happening on the yautja planet.
I feel the same. Hell, another scene I liked that Doug glossed over, thanks ya pretentious prick, was that when he was at the crashed ship, he lingered over one of the yuatja bodies and lowered his head and uttered a sighing growl as if in mourning. That, to me, speaks volumes in terms of Predator characterization; a Predator mourning over the loss of his comrade(s). We have not seen that yet, even in the previous films. When the Predator died in the second film and in AVP, the others that were sent to retrieve their bodies hardly showed any emotion, aside from being impressed by the humans who defeated or aided them. Here, you see one in apparent mourning over a loss, like maybe he might have known the Predator crew or maybe just that one individual, and that makes this personal for the "cleaner". But of course, the movie fucks it up by having the humans be so dull and stupid you're actually almost cheering that they get killed, while showing as little of the title characters as possible to try and build up the suspense and reveal.
The Secret Life of Nostalgia Critic’s Cat.
The concept of Aliens loose on modern day Earth is an interesting one, and one I was looking forward to seeing; however even if the Predalien hadn't stolen the show this movie still would have had too many flaws for it to live up to the promise of that concept.
There's really only one thing about this movie I like: the soundtrack. In fact, to anyone who hasn't seen this before or heard the soundtrack, I'd say: check out the soundtrack, skip the movie.
The reason this can never work is that Predator is an inferior concept to Alien in every way. The preds are anthropomorphized, the xenos are not. This was the whole thing that made Alien and Aliens so great compared to almost all other sci-fi. You can believe that something this weird could have developed somewhere. It's a lot more likely than a xenobiological species from another planet becoming a biped vertebrate with opposable thumbs and similar technology to us. I don't think people fully understand how unlikely that actually is. I know Hollywood writers don't understand it. Also, how do preds eat or chew with those mouthparts? Nothing about them makes sense. They're essentially wrestling heels. And they bred the xenos for hunting! How insulting! The inferior concept ruining the superior one? Great idea, Bob!
Of course this also precisely why most Alien fans loathe Prometheus and Covenant, which chose a different way of destroying the Alien story by having them invented by cyborgs that were made by humans. Even though the engi in Alien was fossilized (which according to Wikipedia takes about 10 000 years at minimum) yet had clearly been the victim of a chest bursting xenomorph. But who cares about time? Or logic? David the Dickhead made the 10 000 year old eggs 17 years before Alien I tells ya! Ridley Scott says so!
Just fuck all these Hollywood hacks, and particularly Ridley Scott. A shame Bannon is dead. Apparently no one is capable of good story telling anymore.
@@politicallycorrectredskin796 "You can believe that something this weird could have developed somewhere. It's a lot more likely than a xenobiological species from another planet becoming a biped vertebrate with opposable thumbs and similar technology to us."
Yet you acknowledge in the same post that the Alien universe also features the technologically advanced humanoid space jockeys. You realize that chewing is pretty much exclusive to herbivores and omnivores, right? Carnivores lack the molars to be able to chew food and simply swallow the meat that they tear off. Predator 2 establishes that the Predator/Yautja species are carnivorous.
Speaking of eating, how and what do the Xenomorphs eat? The films generally don't the Xenomorphs eating, yet they grow from a tiny chestburster to an 8 foot tall monster within hours. How does a creature exponentially increase mass in such a short time span without any indications of it eating? It's not indicated that it drinks water either, so how does it keep itself hydrated, especially when it's constantly secreting slime and fluid? How does it see with no visible eyes?
Look, I grew up on Alien and Predator films so I'm a massive sucker for both, but the argument that one is more biologically realistic than the other is a rather ludicrous argument. You're better off admitting that you just prefer Xenomorphs over Predators, instead of trying to justify it in some objective manner that has no logical consistency.
The Carnivora definitely chew food with their molars. But they are shaped to work more like scissors cutting meat into pieces small enough to swallow. And even to crunch small bones (what counts as small depends on the species of carnivore). If you were referring to cetaceans and non-mammalian carnivores like sharks and crocodiliae, then you would be correct since they don't have molars.
But your main point to the original post is still valid. Both fictional species were clearly designed so a human could wear a costume on set and move around in the suit.
THIS MOVIE IS DARK AND...DARK
The worst thing about this movie is the lighting. *It's soooo dark*
Yup I swear me and my dad tried watching this during the day and could not see shit
Turn up the brightness on your screen or player perhaps? I never watched this but I did this for Snyder’s DC movies and they look much better that way.
I can't tell if it's an alien movie or the sequel to Fan4stic
The director told the lighting director to shut up in one of the worst lit scenes in the film
DAAAAAAAAARKNEEEEEEEES! [guitar riff] NOOOOOO PAAAARENTS!
To answer the question of who the woman named Yutani in the end credits was, she owns half the company that became Weyland-Yutani in the Alien franchise. As for who Weyland is, he was the guy with breathing problems in the first AVP.

Knew there was gonna be a jojo
I searched to far for this
How the hell did they spend $130m on this movie?! This feels like a $30m-$40m cash in, where did the other 100 go? It sure didn't go into lighting which was desperately needed
They didn't spend anywhere near $130m. I have no idea where he pulled that absurd number from. The original AVP was produced for $60m and had, according to Stuckman, was $25m higher than this one. This looks like a made for TV movie.
For me the redeeming parts of the movie are the Predator scenes. Wolf was easily the most capable Predator out of the cinematic movies, and we even got to see the Predator homeworld for a brief time.
Хищник волк абсолютный goof, он некомпетентен.
One of the best Predator is in one of the worst movie.
I can see why someone would like this movie though so if you just watch the movie as a Predator hunting the Aliens movie and just this as like predator 6 or whatever then it honestly is fun in some ways with some cool Predator action and such. But if you go into this with the expectations of this is AVP then year this movie is bad.
To be fair the utani chick is probably the one who did the merger with Weyland from the alien movies. On an unrelated note Doug's cat is adorable
well it could have been an interesting plot to get to know the Yutani part of Weyland-Yutani though it makes the timeline of events even more confusing, they should have maybe done that with the Alien prequels coudn´t be worse then the garbage Ridley Scott made.
2:26 - "Be very very quiet. I'm hunting clever girls".
Umm, critic, they're dealing with a creature genetically engineered to be the ultimate killer, able to reproduce at a rate at which the entire country would be infected, or eaten in months and the world in a couple of years, combined with the DNA of a species that is the ultimate hunter. It has insane agility, is near immune to pain, resistant to bullets, with claws and acid blood. Both conventional firearms and melee are a nogo for this thing furthermore they have no idea how many eggs it has lain. Seems to me a nuke is the appropriate response.
Aslan Wydock I completely agree with you on that.
And don't forget lava-proof.
@guyverjay
Considering Weiland Yutani is apart of this world and she knew about the predator tech, it's safe to assume they knew about aliens as well.
I think it would've been funny if the DNA wasn't a perfect 1:1 creation so as soon as the predalien was fully grown it's acid blood just instantly melts them.
RUBBER!!!!!!!!!!
Spiritual successor to flubber, they even got Robin Williams to voice the Tyre
Shit, I knew I recognised that wobble.
I never really noticed this before, but this movie has basicly the exact same plot structure as Resident Evil 2...
A quiet little isolated town, attacked by an evil presence that spreads rapidly and kills everything mercilessly. A rag tag group of survivers must find a way to survive. They decide to try and get out of town, only for the government to nuke the entire city, with them only barely escaping
Same, just rewatched it for the first time since I saw it in theaters. I love Resident evil and RE2. The premise is the same, unsuspecting mountain town, narrowly escape by helicopter the nuke cover up sent in the by government. Too bad this movie was executed so poorly.
Critic did the best Ha Ha ever at 16:04
Disturbing things list - Number one: Deep-throating a xenomorph. Who was this supposed to appeal to? Fanfic writers?
Also: Adorable cat.
I HATE This movie JUST for that scene. Single handedly ruined both Alien and Predator
How about a Xenomorph deep-throating a human?
well they are alien creatures hell bent on reproducing and killing so......
Well in the AVP 2010 video game one of the finishing moves as an alien is shoving your bladed tail up the marines' asses so I'd say it's even Steven
To be fair it was pretty creepy, in an alternate reality where this movie was good I think that scene would still be there, but it would be tied in to a greater idea of the aliens creating a Hell on Earth.
You were right.
Reqium sucks.
And that last 10 minutes was bat-shit insane!
Kitty! So happy there is a kitty!
2019 Nostalgia Critic is looking good.
Me, too!
Capper Dapperpaws! What are you doing here
I just glad that they named him Chester and not the Nostalgia Kitty
13:22 As a Godzilla fan...
This one got me.
Same.
Dallas's brother dies.
In the original concept, the survivors are killed off by the military.
The cat is adorable Doug, and judging by the end of the video, I take it your next review is going to be the movie Rubber? I can't wait
Or monster trucks
I so look forward to people’s reaction to a sentient tire with psychic power.
Chris W. nah It's gotta be rubber since it was just a tire he looked at. Also Monster Trucks was more of 'a boy and his x' as opposed to horror/thriller movie which Nostalgiaween focuses on.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_(2010_film) -- Definitely Rubber.
such a weird movie that is
That Intro is still awesome!
Fun Fact: The main reason why most of the scenes in Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007) take place in the dark is because Daniel Pearl, the director of photography of AVPR, thought that monster horror would work much better in the dark than in the light, along with documentary-style photography as well.
So that might explain why a lot of people complained about Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem having too much dark lighting, to the point that they can't see what's going on in the movie...
You mock the 2014 Godzilla, but at least you can see the action sequences once they happen.
DOUGS CAT IS SO CUTE OH MY GOD
The beetlejuice nostalgia-ween intro is definitely my new favourite nostalgia-ween intro!
Mines is the one where Doug gets stabbed to death by Jontron.
When the requiem arrow makes things worse.
I knew there had to be a fellow jojo fan
Finally, the funny reference
"What do you mean, the government doesn't lie 🤥 to people? "
That cat is adorable
So adorable it can break windows like that cat from Sleepwalkers
Is it just me or does the film look brighter in this review? I’ve seen it on tv and BD and both times it was so freaking dark that I could hardly make out what was the Predator and what was the Alien.
Doug probably edited the footage to enhance the contrast somewhat, which is pretty much what I wanted to do while watching this.
Seriously, I watched it in a pitch-dark room at full brightness and I STILL couldn't make out jack shit.
Ok that is exaggerated on how dark it is. It's not really really dark. It's like night time dark.
14:15 - "...that's crazy, the government doesn't lie to people"
When I saw this in theatres, the entire theatre broke out laughing
Meanwhile in 2023, the government still hiding UFOs from us.
7:51 That Yosemite Sam clip works more than it probably should. 😂
Nostalgia Kitten! I hope to see more of Chaplin in futures videos!
A CAT CREDIT CARD?!?!?!
NOPE NOPE DOES NOT COMPUTE!?!!??!?!?!??!!
if Wolf (the predator) was the main protagonist, this could've been so much better because I instantly became more engaged whenever he was on screen. also if you're dropping xenomorphs in Colorodo why not go all the way and make a moose alien or a bear alien or something
Nostalgia Cat shows up.
Suicide rates drop by 100%.
This doesn't feel like a kickass crossover film, this is a try-hard slasher flick with cheap attempts at shock value and bad lighting.
Orihime Inoue you pretty much just summed up the movie
You hit the nail on the head.
Orihime watches horror movies...? I... I don't know how I feel about that realization...
You just described 90% of modern horror movies in Hollywood.
+BloodyButterfly I know, I'm about as shocked as you are.
6 more days of Nostalgia Ween, Nostalgia Ween.

Silver Shamrock!
Haha
Me: (Reading the first comment) *Stop It, Stop It, Stop It!!!!*
Yes
Wasn't that heat vision sound effect in the original Predator? I don't really mind it from what I've seen, but if you do, I guess I can't hold it against you.
Yes, but it wasn't used as much. Hearing once or twice in a while is fine, but hearing it 10+ times is gonna get annoying
@@h.rtheater8321 I suppose. That's understandable.
The hospital scene pissed me off. It reeked of a couple hacks who couldn't think of any way to make the monsters scary or interesting so they tried to be shocking in the cheapest way possible.
..... you do know how the alien movies WORK right?
@@albertschoise8091 Yeah, why complain about something horrifying? People being killed by a demon, zombie, serial killer, etc is MEANT to scare you. Back then it was shocking and people got adjusted to it. This is no different. It's actually better because it's doing something very few people do. It literally shows that NO ONE is safe from these monsters. After all, look at Jaws, it scared everyone because anyone in the water was in danger. This is literally part of what horror is.
@@theshipper5797 only if your a edgy 13 year old and has bad taste in horror.
@@MidianPOfficialytch again. You know how the alien movies WORK right?
@LadyGaGa is hot yes the fucking is....there is a wrong way to right horror just as much as any genre
So, next is rubber?
I loved that movie too. My desktop bg has been a screenshot since forever
It is. The best part is Roxanne Mesquida naked
What the name of the movie he’s reviewing next week?
Rubber.
Dick rubber...instead of face hugger, yeah!
I love your new kitty! Congrats and here's hoping for many years of lots of loves from your kitty!
2:02 It was actually the other way round... Box office $130M and Budget $40 M but domestic box office was $41 M
Nostalgia Critic has been at this for over 10 years. You sir, are my inspiration. Keep it up
