I really impressed with the Predator movies and Alien-1, but AvP is just a screwup movie, i dont like a single bit of it. It just sucks, the movie makers just made this movie as scifi,bloody,cheap action with no new things just slashing on each other like barbarians and killing the incapable humans like nerds.This movie has nothing at all. Dont tell me it has amazing special efx and fighting sequence. shit, come on people you cant watch a piece of crap foold by its puny graphics. In previous predator and alien movies they are the villans of the movie and comes in anti-mankind roles, But this movie is showing them as Great knights waging war on each other, they are worst enemys of mankind for god sake!! they were ment to kill prople almost all died a horrible death.I petty those who were actually love these creatures and calling thenselves as proud fans. I am sorry to say these movies(yet to come) will make those man eaters as Heros and they are not.. they are worst enemys of man kind and must stay that way and theres is no honour in them. Dont fall for the craps that movie makers simply wana show some bloody and say it has work of art… an making lot of money.

I hated the first movie with a passion and I’ll prolly refuse to see this but have to watch it anyway.

I had two big problems with the first movie. one it was completly misrepresented i think the tagline was “whoever wins we lose!” but the human just managed to be their on accident… and my other problem was not enough predators! only three! against the horde of aliens present? what is that!? and two of them died pretty much without a fight at all. their just wasn’t enough predator/alien asskicking!

I really liked the first AVP. I’m hoping they have the Alien/Pedator thing that burst from the Predators chest in the last film.

The script made it’s way around the web a few months ago- it basically boiled down to “Dan of the A V P”. A bunch of folks holed up in a Texas Wal Mart in 2007 as the Predators and Aliens waged war aaround them. Complete and total shit.

I have no hopes for a return to a cogent and canonical story on this one.

Hey, Mechopower’s with me, too! Wait, when you say awesome, you mean ‘awesomely funny’, right? I was aiming for awesomely funny.

Your comments about brutality, war and whatnot make some sense, too. If I were to indulge my inner geek, I would love to have seen an AVP that took place on the Alien home world. The Predators like to go where the action is, don’t they? Well, I’ve never been there myself, but I hear there’s more action than you can shake a stick at on Alienworld (also, the best shopping in the galaxy). That gives you the scope to have all sorts of hunting and warfare, plus plenty of room to stick some space marines in the middle of it all.

Problem is, I suppose, my version would have been pretty expensive, and I think they did AVP on the cheap. That’s why we ended up with present day folks finding an ancient ‘confined and therefore inexpensive film set’ trapped under some ice.

Oh, well…

Neither of these franchises will ever be resurrected unless they go back to the bread and butter days that made them famous…what I mean by that is making another movie that shows their pure brutality and rage that the first movies of each franchise coined that made them famous in the first place. I for one could care less who wins as long as it is a kick ass WAR between the two ALIEN races without some fucking stupid ass human love story involved. Lets see these two powerhouses wipe eachother out.

PS-The marine comment was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

In all honesty, I don’t have any opinion on who would win. I was hoping to make a point about the silliness of the whole thing, but I’m not sure dry sarcasm travels across the internet too well. I think Danny was with me, though.

I’m a big fan of Alien, Aliens and Predator, but both franchises have fifty/fifty records when it comes to good and bad individual films. Alien Vs Predator was enough to kill both for me. I’d love to see them resurrect these movie monsters and give us another great film, but with that list of ‘talent’, can you honestly see that happening?

P.S. The original Alien (the one who got to see young Sigourney in her undies) was, I believe, travelling alone. Also, little Davey Fincher’s puppet Alien was a Johnny-no-mates.

Well that is just it, Black Steven, you have your opinion about who would win. But remember that those knives dont mean much when the first alien whos acid blood eats it. Or that one Predator could be expected to go up against dozens of aliens who have thermal vision and much more efficient movement abilities.

This just proves my point. The debate over who is better can go back and forth all day long. One Pred and one Alien, sure, I pick the Predator. But we all know Aliens dont travel alone.

Perhaps in the sequel they will get a better story and “save” the franchise. It can happen. Much like they are redoing The Hulk to do “better” than the first (which I actually liked)

also that marine would be able to lift a 240 pound bodybuilder off the ground with one arm.

So, it’s a sequel to a poor film that managed to further sully two franchises in one swipe, starring semi-no-names from television, written by the inventor of Armageddon, and directed by a couple of special effects guys?

I don’t want to be a negative nancy, but, Jesus Harold Christ, this is going to be fucking dire, and I worry for the sanity of anyone who thinks otherwise.

Sorry, Rodney.

Also, I never understood the whole ‘Who would win – Alien or Predator?’ thing. I mean, it’s basically a fight between a technologically advanced, armed to the teeth super hunter and… a big ant from space. Am I the only one who doesn’t get this? It’s roughly equivalent to a lion versus a camouflaged marine with night vision and an M16. Now, don’t get me wrong, lions are not to be fucked with, but my money’s on the guy with all the guns. And the night vision. Probably knives, too – you know, one of those knives that you keep in your boot. Also, mace. Maybe some hand grenades…
