well, i didn't like it. i liked AvP1 better & it was rated PG-13. well, in the theatre it was. AvP2 is rated R, but it still didn't deliver. kinda a let down if u ask me. maybe i'm missing the big picture, but the alien & predator movies are just dog shit now. what happened? maybe some day a director with skills will step up & take the challenge...
Unrated Trailer.
I'm surprised you thought it might be good.Quote:

If you think back to the originals (with Alien being my particular favorite) it was the "unknown" factor that made them scary.
In Alien, we didn't even really see the monster till the very end.
Familiarity breeds contempt.
I'll watch this one out of curiousity but the only decent movie of recent times that I've liked featuring these two space monsters was Batman: Deadend.
I am not surprised. AVP1 was not that good either.........The first predator was the BEST. Arnold was just simply amazing in that one....
I agree with that :yup:Quote:

I watched Aliens and my jaw dropped. James Cameron should make all films. The Aliens were scary and there was nary a dull moment. Alien was second best only cuz it was almost a run-of-mill monster flick. Ridley Scott and H.R. Giger's vision made it great (Blade Runner another new dir. cut on HD-DVD, btw).
I also like movie crossovers in theory. That was cool how the Alien skull was in Predator 2....very cool.
However, the reason these movies end up sucking is because the movie writers stray from the original story.
In the comic book, the Predator stole Alien eggs, dropped them on inhabited planets, all hell broke loose, and he'd jumped down into all the hell that broke loose.
Wtf was Hollywood thinking with the first AVP? Hell Charles Bishop Weyland was all out of continuity.:ermm:
From the previews, this AVP seems to be more on target so if this sucks than that's it for the series.
I remember Sigourney Weaver saying that she wanted to die (in film) cuz she didn't want anything to do with the AVP.
I agree with u Busyman
They tweak around the original scripts alot these days. In the first movie Predator is totally different with the ones they show in AVP. Also the storyline is quite realistic.....and I dunno what's more scary.....seeing Arnold as buffed as he was back then or the Predator :lol:
Predator 1 and Aliens are the best in their franchises. AVP R is better then AVP (the first one) Problem with AVP R is the low budget and cast which sucked badly. Other then that AVP R was much better then the first which had a high budge but trashy director. Paul W Anderson has ruined alot of good films. Especially The Resident Evil series which has nothing to do with the games.
