Boycott this horrible film, and if you see the directors on the street, kick their asses.

There were a lot of throwbacks and nods to the original film - but what at first was cool became tired as the movie went on and started to suck royally. By the time that dude said 'get to the chopper' , I thought it was cool to hear and Arnold line but I didnt even know who that dude was by that time in the movie, the character development was that bad.Saw it last night as well. Cheezy scripting, absolutely. But you gotta realize, what else could they have done to make it better? Lets face it, after Predator 1 and Aliens, they are all sh!t, but still somewhat entertaining. Loved it when that dude said "Get to the chopper!" .... lost my mind.
haha we used to yell that shyt at my work at a home improvement store, funny shyt.Saw it last night as well. Cheezy scripting, absolutely.

If they left the ****ty plot, the horrible acting, the neglect of the Alien/Predator mythos (Aliens incubating in couple of hours? The Predalien waiting for the Predator to take off his mask? Come on...)I liked it. Much better then the first, and finally an R rating. It had a couple of other gore fest things that I thought where rather unique to the movie(like the nursery), which helped it stand out a litttle from the others. There was a ton more action involving the Predator and his battles with the Aliens, which was also denied in the first. After all it's called Aliens vs Predator, you should go in expecting to see just that.
Eastern Promises is a good flick. The ending was kind of weird but if you're into mobster movies with twists then this is a good one.I want to see....
Eastern Promises
WAR-Jason Statham is awesome actor(Transporter)
Rush Hour 3
Yeah, I liked Predator 2 almost as much as the original. Danny Glover had big shoes to fill, and I always thought he did an excellent job...I hate to say it, but the concept of the AVP is actually decent. The characterization of the predator race lends itself perfectly to breeding of "prey" such as the alien species, and it COULD have been excellent.
Too bad the twatbrains can't do anything right to save their lives.
And Predator 2 has a certain vibe to it that is REALLY freaky...heatwave, LA streets overrun with violence and gangs, all forming this palpable attraction to a species that feeds off of violence and anger. It's actually one of me favourite movies in the genre.
Don't waste your time bro - it's cool if you want to see the Aliens and PRedator on the big screen again, and there are some cool gore/fight scenes but seriously - the movie sucks hard.i havent read a single good review for AVP2 yet, im so friggin disappointed and i havent even seen it yet, planning on going either tonight or this weekend but my hopes have all but diminished...
+1 on that! Its STILL one of my favorite PC games.i dont see how they manage to screw this up.. you take aliens, you take predators, you have them fight. why is there room for ****ty dialouge? why is there any dialouge to begin with? AVP the computer game had limited story and it was the baddest assed thing ever made
LOL, I'll give you that. The supersonic bb gun was pretty generic. As for the plot, I don't think it's possible to follow since the predator doesn't talk. But going from what the movie showed, I assumed that a grand daddy predator(as evident by all those dam marks on his helmet) set out to clean up a mess that some of the kids caused, and tried to keep it all hush, hush with the melting blue crap to remove evidence of the alien nest, face huggers, human incubators, and the like. After all, if your a hunter you don't want your prey knowing anything about you.If they left the ****ty plot, the horrible acting, the neglect of the Alien/Predator mythos (Aliens incubating in couple of hours? The Predalien waiting for the Predator to take off his mask? Come on...)
I did actually enjoy the gore scenes and the Predator asskicking, right until the last 1/3 of the movie when you have that tool shooting the predator's cannon like its a BB gun, and the ending which was probably one of the stupidest things Ive ever seen on film.
For some reason this made my day.:rofl:I just watched Alien 4, I remember being disappointed with that flick in the theater and hadnt seen it in a while. Its an epic ****ing masterpiece compared to AVP1 or AVP2, or both of them put together for that matter.
Right! When he started doing that with his blue acid I thought "oh cool - a Predator Cleaner!"...and then he goes on to so skin a guy that's defenseless and running away from him, and leaves the body hanging upside down right next to the edge of the forest.LOL, I'll give you that.

Well, the guy was a cop so he had a gun, that's a no, no :nono:. Plus he seen the Predator so what better way to keep the dude from talking about him by turning him into a Christmas tree ornament.Right!

I dont know - maybe he thought a skinless human wouldnt arouse any suspicious from the locals
I did like the minimal CG usage and the fight scenes were cool - but man I just can bring myself to like this movie...I really wanted too!!!saw the movie saturday morning, im not even trying to play devils advocate but I liked the movie for what it was, i didnt go in expecting it to be a Cameron or Ridley Scott, but for being a comic-booky monster romp i was all in.
The costume designs for this movie vs the first were far superior, and even though you dont get many good looks at the aliens, thats what the special features are for on the DVDs. Looking back at Alien or Aliens, you rarely got more than a second's glance at the aliens head on. At least we got several payoff scenes of the Predator hunting. Plus, my fav, minimal CG was used in the effects, almost every scene used some form of practical effect and costume.
The human story line, characters, and dialouge were all throw-away, but who really cares, I didnt go to the movie to watch humans cry over ex girlfriends. They are a necessary element in the movie though, otherwise all you would hear is clicking and snarls. Only real fans of the original Predator would even notice the "Get to the choppa" reference, I felt like it was more of a subtle homage than a blatant reference to the original.
The blue stuff destroying the evidence? why not, hes a predator, give them some creative liberties with the story.
The gore really wasnt that explicit either, the face melting scene in the gun shop was actually edited compared to the extended version shown in the red-ban trailer. Sure there was some blood, but no more than in the original Predator.
As for the movie being more of a slasher flick than a suspenceful sci fi movie, if you look back at the original alien and aliens, the aliens have always attacked people viciously; and until the end of the first Alien, no one knew that the alien wasnt killing the people but rather disabling them and saving them to be human hosts for more aliens.
All in all it wasnt an award winner but the movie was 1000000000000000000000000x better than AVP, though stupid the characters were more relatable, the dialouge wasnt as ridiculous (i stress as), the costumes were far superior, the sound effects drew back on the originals, and it was rated R for Badass (couldnt think of a good enough adjective with an R in it)
Oh man - that would would be too. I wonder if he could still pull it off...probably not at 60 although Im sure he could still look great with the right training.I still wanna see the original idea for the Predator 3 script where Arnold gets sent to the Predator homeworld to battle in a colessum against the best the Predators have to offer, that would be the single greatest movie ever made.
Best bet is The Rock...Oh man - that would would be too. I wonder if he could still pull it off...probably not at 60 although Im sure he could still look great with the right training.
I saw another Predator3 script where Dutch is older and kind of still messed up from his battle with the Predator in the 1st movie, and it was in the winter...seemed like a cool idea.
I think another big issue is that there still isnt an actor that can fill Arnold's (or Sigourney Weaver's) shoes as an action hero...someone from AM needs to step up

For some reason I remember this being rumored around on the internet a while ago. Seems like he would be the most logical choice to fill the action sci-fi boots of the past.I am 100% with you on that Max, at first the Rock was sort of a joke in The Mummy 2, but he has proven to be a solid male lead IMO, I would love to see him as the lead in a predator or alien flick, he can hold his own in my book
Yeah I remember that!!! I was really hoping that would go through too...that could have been the greatest movie ever right there.I remember the rumor going around before production of ressurection, when Jim Cameron was in talks to return to the helm that he wanted to cast Arnold along side Weaver for "his" depiction of the next Aliens movie. Needless to say, it fell thru though.
Those stupid humans shouldnt have lived long enough for that cheesy ending!I saw AVPR, and have to say I liked it a LOT more than the first, which isn't saying much though, lol...
As far as character development went, I don't really think it was needed as the humans were not the main characters, more like filler material I thought...The get to the chopper quote was probably the best bit I have to say..
That is almost word for word the problem I had with the Halloween remake, Zombie went on and on about how all of the remakes were worthless because they didnt add anything new to the movie and were just carbon copies of lower quality. Outside of the unnecessarily long introduction to the Myers character, the second half of his remake was almost shot for shot exactly like the original Halloween only the cuts were choppier, the sets were overdressed and distracting, and the violence was way overrated. If the original Halloween had never been made, this movie would still have been completely forgettable, it contributes nothing new to the genre.You know, the biggest reason I was pissed about this movie was that for the past TWO years, The Strauss brothers have been doing interviews saying how this was going to be a 'return to form', and it was going to 'feel like an original Alien or Predator movie' and when I finally went to see it, all excited that it was FINALLY going to be the movie we've all been waiting for over a decade - it was just a cheesy b-grade slasher flick.
That's actually why I liked it. Gave it that little "Zombie" flare.Outside of the unnecessarily long introduction to the Myers character, the second half of his remake was almost shot for shot exactly like the original Halloween only the cuts were choppier, the sets were overdressed and distracting, and the violence was way overrated.
LOL - get your copy at AVP2 at Nutraplanet before the ban!Now the media can start blaming people's wreckless actions on 'AVPR Rage'. lol.
