It's always wonderful when the general concensus is that nobody agrees.

Shoot em up. Monica Belluchi in high def, what more can you ask for?

coolmilo · 04-30-2008, 04:55 PM

It's kind of weird to compare these two movies because they are different genres of movies. Shoot'em Up was an over the top violent action movie with good actors/good performances and AVP is a bad science fiction/horror flick. It might be easier to compare AVP with say Cloverfield and Shoot'em Up with War. IMO, all of these movies are senseless fun so just flip a coin.

...A much, much better movie.

You will laugh your ass off at Shoot 'Em Up it's so ridiculous. Listen, I love action movies, but this movie is just dumb.

I've never seen AVP2 and probably won't, so I can't give much of an opinion on that.

That should have officially ended the thread.

My reply is: If you own AVP, you might as well get AVP:R to compliment it. Otherwise, get Shoot 'Em Up!

Thanks for all the replys. I own about 20-25 BD's and typically buy movies that I think I will watch more than once, which is the only reason I am taking 30 Days of Night back. Is Shoot'em Up worthy of repeat viewing?

Actually, if you didn't like 30 days of night I don't think you will like either shoot em up or AVPR.

I thought 30 days of night was good and definately worth seeing, but I can't see myself watching it again. So, that is why I am looking for something else. Shoot'em Up sounds like a good bet.

replay value is IMO kind of low for both of those movies you suggested. Honestly I think 30 days of night had more replay value. I liked all 3 of those movies and only watched them once so far.

I would vote for Shoot'Em Up! Lots of over the top action. Super clear PQ and great sounding audio. It is a fun action movie that you can watch several times and not get bored.

ayS · 05-09-2008, 01:52 AM

i just ordered avpr from amazon.com i can't wait for mine copy to arrive.

Blu Titan · 04-30-2008, 04:59 PM

Shoot Em UP is silly fun, but AVP2 is a worthless effort (good PQ though). I am a HUGE Sci Fi fan, but AVP2 is pretty bad.
