Well, it took forever, but it looks like it's finally going to happen.

Ohhh bad ass.


Can't wait to see it.



Wonder if there will be any marines there as well :-/

hmm...i recall somethin about aliens and predators from the 3rd grade..barely

predator was the one with arnold right? if so..i saw half of the movie...it was good...as for aliens, no

but this movie sounds cool...

The first predator film did have Arnold in it while in a jungle. The second took place in a city with Danny Glover. There have been several AvP video games that have done well and the comic books are no small success. Predators are a race of aliens who pride themselves on the hunt. What better for the ultimate hunter to hunt than the ultimate beast, the aliens (xenomorphs). In Predator 2, Danny Glover goes on to the Predator's ship and see it's trophy wall (skulls from their best kills). As a joke, the makers included an Alien skull. But the fans saw it as a sign and it helped to push the project further head. Many years later, it is actually on the move.

I'm looking forward to it myself. Since neither the Aliens or Predators talk, they had to include humans to give the movie a voice.

But Predator's do talk or atleast they tried to. In the first one when the Predator is fatally wounded and Arnold is "Say what the hell are you?" it imitates him and says the same exact thing back. Also in the second one when Danny is taking off the mask he imtates him and finishes his sentence off.

Predator's have to be the most bad ass ones out of the two cause of the way they hunt. I mean it's what they like to do and hun't just for the sport of it. Alien's are ok too but I think they're just a little to primative.


And CyraGL how could you barely remember either one of them. They both are like classics in my point of view and decen't especially since there is like almost no CGI in the movies and they're all model's and makeup and it looks pretty convincing. Also they left a opening in the Predator series since Predator's hunt on like a cycle or pattern of years. I just hope that they make it pretty good and don't mess up the previous ones reputation.

Parrots can mimic people too but they hardly carry on conversations or talk. The predators could mimic a few words here and there, but that's hardly enough diologue to support an entire film.

Lazers, infared, bad ass claw on his arm... the predators better win this...

The Premise:

The theory goes that the Egyptian pyramids were built by man but with the help of aliens. So, the Predators were the ones who built them. Every 1000 years 5 teenage Predators come back to earth with alien eggs where they hatch them and then battle them. The predators that survive are deemed adults and can join the hunt with the elders. It has been 1000 years and the Predators are coming to earth to continue the ritual. The pyramid they are coming to do battle on was built in Antarctica (back when they were built it wasn't frozen) and so when they get here they find the pyramid frozen under a glacier (or something similar). Coincidentally some scientists have discovered this pyramid at the same time and all hell breaks loose. The Predators have a difficult time battling in cold conditions so the Aliens hatch and reproduce, etc etc until there is a big ass Alien army. More Predators are sent to earth to fight the Aliens and the humans get caught in the middle and it all goes to hell.

Ok where did you get that? Is that like a script or something you got from some other site or is that what the movie is actually going to be about cause the trailer doesn't show much.

That is indeed what the movie will actually be about...

Ok where did you get that? Is that like a script or something you got from some other site or is that what the movie is actually going to be about cause the trailer doesn't show much.

There's various script reviews online for the movie and that does seem to be the basic premise for the movie. . .on the "downer" side of the coin, from what I can tell it's supposed to be "present" day and not the future (So much for Ripley and the crew of the Nostromo having first contact with them pesky Xenomorphs)

If it is present day, then that may suggest that there are no human survivors or that there was no one left that would release information of the account.

From the fact that it is in present day, the aliens obviously die or they would have killed everyone on earth.

oooooohhhhh - I can't wait! I've wanted this movie to be made since way back when they were first talking about it!

The Preds would TOTALLY stomp the Aliens! Don't get me wrong, its a cool premise and I'd pay to see it, but we all know the Aliens don't stand a chance!

What would be really cool is...Jurassic Park vs. Predator, or Jason X vs. Aliens...now THAT would be damn hell ass cool!

I think it would be close, and it really depends on the setting.


If it's out in the open Predator just pwns.

If it's inside a building or structure Alien has the advantage.



I also think Alien is stronger.

:shock: KICK ASS!!!! :twisted: This should fuckin' rule people!!! can't wait... thanks for the heads up DMW...

Bear in mind however. . .that the preds are used to hunting and function MUCH better in a warm/hot environment. This takes place in the anyarctic putting the preds at a slight disadvantage. . .kinda puts em on a little more of an equal footing.

is the movie 1 predator vs 1 alien or a whole war?

is the movie 1 predator vs 1 alien or a whole war?

I think we're dealing with multiple representatives of each race. . .only logical way to do it. I do know that an Alien Queen sets things off with a bang, so that's always a plus!!!!!

I'd put my money on the predators. I have all four original comics, and the predator wins at the end, so I'm guessing they'll stay true to the source. It was a good fight though, those aliens are feisty.

If I recall correctly in several of the comics, the analysis was that the most dangerous species of the bunch were the humans. The movie should be awesome.

If I recall correctly, the aliens are not fooled by the predator's cloaking ability. They rely more on smell and sound I believe, so visually invisible doesn't help to hide from them. The Aliens also have genetic memory, whatever one learns, it's offspring will know as well. Then the predators are at a disadvantage because of the cold and confined spaces. Aliens also dominate by sheer number. It wont be as clear cut as easy as some may thing. I do think that in the end the predators will win (if not the humans) but it wont be an easy battle.

Don't forget about the different types of Alien.


I remember that some of them had acidic blood that could melt through steel. Others had different attacks.

All of them had acidic blood. And the type of alien depended on what hosted them. In the first two alien films, you saw human hosted aliens. In the 3rd alien film, you saw a dog hosted alien. It was faster and more agile. I remember seeing a bull alien action figure once. Imgine something like a lion, shark, rhinoceros, elephant, gorilla, or polar bear alien. :twisted:

Here are some pictures for you.

Dog Alien (http://www.guthwulf.com/images/toys/spawn/alientoys-small-promo-dog.jpg)

There are countless animal species on Earth and what if the "Alien" was hosted by another alien species (such as a predator)?

I'm waiting to see a bunch of totally badass Penguin Aliens go to town on the Preds....

You never know. Everyone thought that the dog was man's best friend and it took a few tons of liquid hot lead and a cold shower to stop the dog alien.

Penguins, several breeds of whale, Squid, Octopus, several breeds of seals, several breeds of birds, and many more can be found in Antarctica. Then you can't forget about the Predators and Humans that will be in the area. I will be a little disappointed if they only use one type of alien.

I guess I'm the only one expecting this to suck? It's writer/director Paul W.S. Anderson has never made a good movie. I know most of you enjoyed Resident Evil, but George Romero's script was better, closer to the game, and he's far more talented. And while the first Mortal Kombat was better than the second (which Anderson had nothing to do with) that doesn't really make it good. I suppose he could accidently make a good movie but I see no reason this would be the expection, the script is supposed to be horrible from the reviews I've seen, haven't been able to find it myself.

I'm waiting to see a bunch of totally badass Penguin Aliens go to town on the Preds....

LMAO... that would be so incredibly funny.

Oh this movie will be solid gold. I don't care if it's by the same director of "Resident Evil," he has a lot of waiting to live up to and if he fails to deliver, someone WILL kill him.

I still don;t think its a question to who would win. Unless the Preds are sorely outnumbered, they can't lose. They are too smart and they really have alot of weapons to their advantage.

Lasers
Infared sight
Cloaking device
self destruct
claws on the forearm

The only aliens could have is numbers and brut strength but against a foe that is a smart and stealthy... I can't really see the aliens winning...

Like I said, stealth doesn't work on the aliens. Stealth only hides from vision. The aliens use smell and sound.

ah, good point... but even without that, and even if you took away another advantage. It still wouldnt be enough. They could just send one in there and do the self destruct but I beleive they do like to make it a hunt.

lol

self destruct ?


My ass, they are not going to do that.

Bunch of pussies if you ask me.



The aliens will probably be hiding and jump out at the preds as the are hunting.

They probably wont have much time to react to most attacks unless they catch some aliens off guard and blow them to bits.

Plus I do believe Aliens are stronger.

If you are grabbed by an Alien you sure as hell wont be able to break free. He is gonna bite your face off.

The Predator only does the self destruct device if they know for sure they will die, or if they know they have lost the hunt. It's a whole honor thing... just watch the behind the scenes trailer on the website. They explain a lot.

Yes, honor is very big for the predators.

A few comments:

Lasers - They have to be aimed. Aliens are very agile and quick.
Cloaking device - As stated, it doesn't work on aliens.
self destruct - last resort, only used if they fail.
claws on the forearm - Aliens have claws on each hand/foot, the tail is a weapons, as is the second ejecting mouth.
Boomerang Disc - Nice weapon, hard surfaces can stop it and do we know whether some if not all breeds of Aliens are agile enough to dodge it?
Spear - Close combat weapon, effective but some aliens would still have a reach advantage with arms and tail.
Multiple scopes of vision - Will make it easier for Predators to track Aliens than for humans. But the same scopes don't always work on Aliens as they do on humans. For example, aliens are not warm blooded and they do not radiate body heat. So infared will not work on aliens. Other scopes will, but they are not as effective in seeing humans.

Some say aliens are physically stronger.
Aliens, if queen is allowed to breed, will easily have the numeric advantage. Predators never hunt in very large numbers.
Aliens use natural tracking, and are very good at it.
Aliens are quicker and more agile.
Aliens have acid for blood, so if you injure them, you don't want to be close when it happens.
Aliens have 6+ nature body weapons (claws on hands, feet, spear like tail, and ejecting second mouth).
Aliens have genetic memory.
Aliens adapt their strengths/weaknesses based on what they use as a host.
Aliens are not bound by code or honor.
Aliens are primative creatures, to an extent, but they are highly capable of learning.
Cold isn't a hinderance to the Aliens, it is to the Predators.

I am not pro or anti either alien or predator. I just think that members of the pro-predator camp are under rating the aliens. It wont be an easy fight by far. But because of the nature of hollywood, I would venture to guess that either the Predators win and because of honor leave the humans or they are beaten by the humans. I doubt hollywood would let the aliens win. But because I doubt that the aliens would win, doesn't mean I think they'll be an easy foe to beat. No one defeats the aliens easily.

i'm gonna go with aliens, root for the underdogs. i just liked the movies better. (go ridley scott!) but in the strengths and weaknessess dept. yea, the predators would prolly wipe 'em out. :(

This reminds me of AVP II the game.

Scared the crap out of me when I was a marine.

I would just look at my radar and the dots would just get closer and closer with that little ding noise every time it picked something up. They were all up in the walls so you had no clue where they were comming from.


And then bam. All over the place.

I am so on the aliens' side. I think they are such graceful creatures, plus they are so much faster and smarter than predators, in my opinion. Predators are just uglier.

I love the alien movies (although whoever cast paul mcgann as golic should be punished); neither of the predator movies can compare with them.

I just glanced at that without noticing the name of the person who posted it, and the first thought that went through my mind was "Sam would like that person"... and then I realized it was you. I'm goofy. ;)

Alien should win.
No other creature has the deadly grace and singular ability to strike fear in its adversary merely by appearing.
With the Predator, it is not so much fear as nauseau and irrepresible laughter.
Predator is not the ultimate soldier- it is the postal clown.
The Spartans of the universe are the Aliens.

lol! i just thought of this: Alien vs Predator vs E.T.

lol! i just thought of this: Alien vs Predator vs E.T.

E.T. would run screaming like the little overweight hairless Ewok he is. ;)

You have to remember Aliens also are able to sense emotion. They feed off our fear. In some of the comics, once humans were able to figure that out, they held back a swarm of aliens by countering their own fear. Also aliens use telepathy to communicate.

Can you imagine an alien born from a predator? That would be lovely.

I seen the behind the scenes clip, but is it setup to take place in the past or future. it wouldn't make much sense if it were in the past.

I'd rather watch 2 hrs of a furby fighting a pikachu.

ET would pwn them all.

haha *breaks into song "oh baby you want me? well you can get this lapdance here for free!"*

In response to funky chicken about an alien being born from a predator...it happened in one of the Alien vs Predator comic series. I believed they called it a "Prealien", however it is you pronounce that and i looked like an alien with a predator face and skin. Weird.

I don't have any hope for this movie, except that it might look cool. I don't feel that the director of resident evil and mortal kombat has any place touching these franchizes. THey'll probably use tons of computer generated aliens, etc. which defeats the whole intent of the first two alien films and their scariness. Let's just hope everything gets blowed up real cool-like 8)

I don't think its meant to be scary. Just action. I just want to see how the action from the comics compares to on screen.

I think the Predator will win. aliens may be fast and strong, but predators can cut through anything and have a fucking cannon on their shoulders, plus a nuclear detonator

As long as the predators don't do that creepy-ass laugh I'll be fine. I'm not sure how good this will be though. Predator 2 sucked, Alien 3 and Ressurrection should jsut be forgotten, and crossover movies don't do that well generally. If I remember the end of Ressurection correctly, RIpley was looking down on a city that seemed to be in flames and the Alien novels mentioned that the Earth was taken over by the Aliens. So does anyone think that Ripley will make an appearance here then?

Nope, no chance of Ripley making an appearance at all. Bearing in mind that Ripley isn't around till a couple hundred years into the future. From my understanding, this movie is supposed to take place in modern times. . .so i wouldn't hold my breath.

Predator freaked me out! I don't know the thing was just scary, especially after it took off his mask - NASTY! Imagine if there were *things* that could camoflauge like that - shit, I'd be out of there!
It seems like a stupid idea but Predator would definately kick the Alien's ass.

Go check out the new trailer it looks pretty cool, lots of action, don't like the look of the predator with teeth in his mask though. I'll see it because Joel Silver did the producing for Part 1 & 2, now this one. He kicks ass when it comes to speacial effects.

http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/avp/internet_trailer/

Hmm looks kind of cool... and scary.

Whoa. Awesome. :D Typical.

oooooooooohhhhhhhhh it looks sooooooo good. been waiting for this for ages. you know the story line behind it? is a class one and takes a page or two outta the original comics :D

theres a new trailer (http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/avp/internet_exclusive/) for avp out. looks seriously awesome, and you can tell alot of stuff from it including 1)everything looks really groovy 2) contains stupid men that think hiting a predator with a gun might save there ass 3) 3 very cool looking preds 4)they have that new weapon we were told about in the 1st feature and it looks goood 5) queeny makes an appearance 6) weyland (human bishop) is indeed a wossy 6)at least one pred gets ripped to shreads by a group of aliens 7) in case of aliens pred wrist blades go ridiciously long and 8) a pred does indeed join sides with the surving humans to survive the alien rampage

also graphic bits look pretty cool, aside from the pred goin boom boom on the temple, that didnt look to good, well least the moment building up to it, and when the pred jumped across the marines in the temple wasnt too great. epespecially liked the little fight scene broken up of a pred vs an alien and way the alien gets thrown left and right by the pred :p

ps. hate to double post in a thread but, previous was a very long time ago, and if i didnt no one would see the thread had a new post with this class new video for all to see

http://www.ipercafone.com/raulbova20.jpg

All I know is that ^ he's ^ going to be in that movie...so...
I.AM.THERE. :P

I think this movie looks like umpteen kinds of shit... but it'll be pretty looking shit, so I'll probably go to see it.

Probably - who am I kidding. I'll go to see it the moment it comes out and I'll hate it and I'll bitch about it for weeks.

At least Tracy's guaranteed some eye candy.

:p

:p

Im with ya on that Head.

Although it could be good. I think it really all depends on how they go about doing the storyline. If they have a good storyline, it could be really cool , cuz we already know the special effects will be good.

Hrm...lemme think.

Predator was cool.

The entire Alien series was cool.

Alien vs. Predator the video game was cool.

This should be friggin' sweet! I am so there! :)

Aliens are great, Predators Rock. The AvP games where and AR totaly awesome(has AVP2 on his pc), so yeah I want this movie NOW!

I am by NO means a sci-fi fan...








BUT....













I am SO going to see this!!!

Well, I saw a preview for AVP before Chronicles of Riddick, it looked like it'd be pretty cool. There was a rather visceral feeling when you saw Aliens, Predators AND an Alien Queen in the same setting. Might be good. gonna check it out.

It looks like an eye-candy friendly gore-tastic video game-made movie, which, after Resident Evil, wouldn't sound very inticing...

but HELL! it's ALIENS....and PREDATORS!

shit chea!

buuuuuut...are aliens warm-blooded? :eek: I think they might have been in the first movie, i'm not sure. But if not, it might render the whole 'infrared' thing useless....

they arent, if you watch aliens (oh good im a geek) when the marines enter the nest they use infared vision to try and spot the aliens and they get screwed cause it does jack hence "maybe they dont come up on infrared at all line" by one of the marines shortly before she gets grabbed. also you learn the same when you play the avp games, but preds can still see them, they use this other vision mode that detects energy and with all the acid in an alien there like one big battery and stand out light a lighbulb, though some poor pred will get screwed when looking for humans in thermo vision while an alien sneaks up on him im sure.

oh heres another new trailer that just came out very cool (http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/avp/trailer/) indeed. i can pretty much predict the story line from what anderson has said and the trailers now. it should be very good and there will be some teamin up of humans and a pred to save there arses from the alien hoard

Predator kicks mighty ass. I loved that movie...If the Predators don't win, I'm gonna bust a cap lol.

Predator kicks mighty ass. I loved that movie...If the Predators don't win, I'm gonna bust a cap lol.

well i know anderson looked at the comics and games when writing the story, and since he s used the scenrio where a pred helps the humans (probably due to them saving its life and honnor code of theres, along with the fact its the only way they stand a chance of getting out alive) it ll probably have a simliar ending to the comics where there thrown into a confrontation with the queen and the predator is mortally wounded in an atempt to kill her.

probably the main character escapes (and of course weyland) while the predator fights off the aliens and self destructs killing the nest and wipin the alien trace off earth, hence the company have to look else where for them

Well in all decency, Predators gotta win, if anyone. Cause really, what would happen if the Aliens won? They'd reproduce like asscrazy, and then kill all the wonderful humans in the world (which wouldn't disappoint me...). That would just be horrible for a sequel, and I'm sure everyone wants a sequel :D . Or maybe they could just take over antarctica. And the predators could come every 1000 years and just pick them off with lasers :p . Or....or.....maybe I'm done now :confused: .

I just hafta revive this thread since the movie is basically coming out in 2 weeks. Lets keep discussing it. x.x

I go for predator- because predator is cool. Alien is just some space bug. Woo. Predators are the real thing. =\ THey're really ugly behind the mask, though. x.x I hated in Predator 1 when het akes off the mask and basically screams and his mandible things...blah. =o Hes fugly.

So go Predator! I also like his disc thing. Thats my favorite tool of his. The disc is cool. And when I see those 3 sniping laser dots, that's just cool, too.

ANd yeah, if Predator doesnt win, I'm gonna be mad. =\ But I like Paul WS Anderson and his films (Event Horizon, Resident Evil, Mortal Kombat), so I have faith! =D

Well, we just got back from the theater...I don't think it is going to win any Oscars or anything like that, but my gods it was fun!!!

Good solid action movie. They kept the cheesiness to a minimum. Special effects and fight scenes were awesome, and the lead female kicked ass!

The theory goes that the Egyptian pyramids were built by man but with the help of aliens. So, the Predators were the ones who built them. Every 1000 years 5 teenage Predators come back to earth with alien eggs where they hatch them and then battle them. The predators that survive are deemed adults and can join the hunt with the elders. It has been 1000 years and the Predators are coming to earth to continue the ritual. The pyramid they are coming to do battle on was built in Antarctica (back when they were built it wasn't frozen) and so when they get here they find the pyramid frozen under a glacier (or something similar). Coincidentally some scientists have discovered this pyramid at the same time and all hell breaks loose. The Predators have a difficult time battling in cold conditions so the Aliens hatch and reproduce, etc etc until there is a big ass Alien army. More Predators are sent to earth to fight the Aliens and the humans get caught in the middle and it all goes to hell.

Agh! Pretty cool! I can't wait! :)


Wonder if there will be any marines there as well :-/

Mmmmmmmm... marines... Alien's chop suey! :D

I saw videos of some P vs A fights- and they are kickin. The predator is awesome- but the alien can really rip 'em up. But also, humans have to join forces with some predators to meet a common goal. So its not like a 3-way deathmatch.

I had someone tell me this movie was garbage today and some of the user/critic reviews I've read mostly were negative.

But I've yet to see it.

i went to see it the night it opened... im a fan of the original alien movie and ive always loved the predators.

anywho... the movie was pretty good. the fight scenes were definatly the best part of the movie. there were a few things that i didnt like and that i found to be a bit inaccurate or slightly off.... all in all.... i liked it


yeah predators :D ;)

I just saw it and I noticed- in the original Alien movies, the facehuggers would take a little while to complete the process of being a chest burster and then changing to a full alien, wouldnt they? But maybe these aliens were enhanced because the queen was hooked up to these electrical things and...I dunno.

I liked the movie- VERY short, but i liked it. I like the weapon the predator had- the wire net that would squeeze ya into cubes... that was cool.

Thats a bit off- but close =o There's no real alien army- and only 3 predators in the entire movie, for the most part. And I think 100 years, but might have been 1000.

I agree that there arent any awards or the like in themovies future....but it was a wwhole lot of fun. I've been waiting for this damn movie for at least if not more than a decade.

The predators look awesome, I love the new designs of the face masks and the longer dreads. The new disc looks very cool.

I went and saw AVP lastnight.. I thought the movie was pretty good, had a lot of action and what not. The Alien and Predator movies have been around for a long time, so I wasnt to sure what to expect. I thought the predators looked awesome. and It was an all around good movie. But I'm really into Sci-Fi / Fantasy stuff. So yeah.

I haven't seen this film, although it interested me since I've played the video game and stuff. But, rottentomatoes.com says it's terrible, so I'll save my money I guess!

Well im not a puppet of the critics- i'll see a movie no matter what website/critic says about it. =\ The movie has been rated maybe a 6/10 or so, mostly, but I saw it- and found it awesome. Go see it, expecting cool effects, fights, and awesome predators and aliens. Dont see it, expecting 250% likeness to the ALien and Predator movies- like most websites critique it on.

i havent seen it as im in uk and it not out here till october (u lucky ...) lol but read what the critics have said and seen some clips myself. some of the critics didnt even know what they were talking about bitching bout stuff like "oh aliens dont jump around like ninjas there shadowy and stuff etc thats what made alien so great" um hello aliens? And someone else complain that the queen fights in the movie saying "queens are jus big egg laying machines that dont get involved" kinda a lol moment there. Lastly someone complianed about the (SPOILER) pred alien going "oh thats so stupid"...seriously makes ya wonder did any of these guys see the alien films. You got a dog alien in alien 3 why not a pred alien + its been done in the comics and games.

but they did make some critisiums worth while, such as time take for aliens to breed is speed up massivly, apparently its pg13 statis (something i growned at but its gonna be a 15 over here so better) meant you get no chest burster sequence in full gory detail, and no ugly mother fucker comments. thats just wrong! also the preds are ment to suck in close combat gainst the aliens, in the clips i saw pred weps aint acid proof, and also an alien spears a pred with its tail over 10 meters away (a mighty big tail which then retracts to normal size alien one). Again lastly that the other preds dont notice there dead comrad has a chest burster when in comics and games preds can tell if someone has one in them as they can see the alien in there alien vision mode (yup i say again im a geek for knowing this lol) inside that creature.

so kinda worried what to expect hoping it is good, but either way i heard its earned enough to give predator 3 the go ahead and avp2 so im happy. Anderson may live lol

This movie is horrible at the end of i didn't know whether to laugh or be sad over the waste of my money.

It could be worse featuring Jackie Chan vs the aliens/predators... :/

i just saw it tonight (via download as aint out over here for another month) and as a huge fan im so disappointed. its like anderson read a small part of the original comic avp, ignored the rest or the film and drew his own conclusion about stuff. the movie is by far way too short, with no real characters being created. and weyland dies does anyone want to explain to me how he can die yet manages to further his company into becoming "the" company, let alone appear in alien 3?

the aliens are completly screwed up. in the other movies an alien takes something like 12hrs before the face hugger lets go, and then another 4 hours or less before the alien bursts out (longer if a queen as seen in alien 3) and then another good few couple of hours for it to grow up. here it simply takes 5mins for the whole process! and what the fuck was up with the queen. as the critics said "queens do not lumber around like t-rexs" which is exactly what comes to mind with this one. soon as it breaks free it decides to go on a rampage rather than lay eggs. in previous films the queen only got involved if threatened itself, and how the hell does it survive a nuke?! oh but of course its weakness is ice cold water. i mean what a load of bullshit! in alien 1 you find out that aliens can survive any enviroment virtualy and they dont breathe air so how would it drown?! even in alien ressurection there perfectly a ok to swim in water. the queen would just break itself free and escape

preds are even worse. the hero one seem to like to take his mask off every 5mins. they also are completly crap both as fighters and as lookers. they look nothing like the previous preds, least in the face area. there fighting skills are crap. in movies they are class super deadly fighters (granted against man so any super beasty could own :p ) and in rest of avp franchise they own taking out tons of aliens with just spear and wrist blades. even the inexperience ones take down a few before making a cock up and being gutted by the hoard of aliens. these ones get done by 1 at a time and unlease using a projectile weapon get done. its almost like if you were to take there guns away preds wouldnt be able to fight there way outta a paper bag! even lex does an alien with a spear which is more than the pred can do. the relationship between lex and the pred is kinda dodgy not, not for them working together but way they act, and its unlikly that the other preds wouldnt of spotted the alien in the hero pred as he duked (or got bitch slaped) it out with the queen. and that the pred could detact his nuke wrist band is so dumb its incrediable. the whole idea of it is a last resort to restore honor, prevent capture and take oppents with you. its built into his arm and isnt removable and certantly isnt a weapon to lob at aliens.

in all it was a disgrace to all the francise both aliens, predators and avp. the only saving grace is it raked in enough cash for predator 3 and avp2 and i pray someone other than anderson writes it and directs it

lol that's exactly how I felt, but I was angrier than sad, my stupid cousins made me watch it after watching The Village for the second time :rolleyes: , I was almost dying, the movie (Aliens Vs Predator) was so damn boring and stupid, at least I didn't pay for it...

Well, it took forever, but it looks like it's finally going to happen.

With a name like 'Aliens Vs Predator' I would have expected more of a team battle thing going on. Not for 2/3 of the Predators to be killed off almost right after they arrive. That sucked. There was a lot less of actual AvP than I would have expected, and the humans took over the whole movie. Most of the movie was just a bunch of people walking around dark corridors, every now and then some random character being grabbed by an alien.

When the Predator threw the bomb into the nest I just thought 'Huh? He's blowing them all up? What happened to the rest of the movie??'

It had some good parts, but I found it to be very lacking.

Well, thats why DVDs were sorta made- everything you didnt see (Directors cut, deleted junk, etc) is on it.

What I did like was that it wasnt a full 'war', and it also wasnt a 1 vs. 1 like Freddy vs Jason where you knew no one would win- and both would go on 'living'. There was no way the movie woulda been Alien planet vs. Predator planet or some galactic apocalyptic war. And it also wasnt some 1 vs 1. Thats what I liked.

Im double posting cuz i want ppl to see this post:

Most people appear to enjoy this movie, but for those that dont:
HOW TO SEE THIS MOVIE AND ENJOY IT
-Dont be a fanboy about previous comics and AVP movies
-Dont be a fanboy about the games
-Dont expect a super-complex plot
-Dont pick out small details that didnt exactly match the Alien/Predator movies.

Most people who are disappointed are disappointed because it wasnt exactly like the comics or previous movies- and because of the PG13 rated. So get over that. Its not like a movie loses all the substance when human gore isnt present.

its called aliens vs predator for a reason, manly cause it includes them and as such needs to stay true to the franchises. the idea is sound, its been proven that it can work by the comics and games which had really good storylines. even this one when i heard about it i thought had some serious potential, and i want a second, just one which is a better film. the way its been done, it may as well not be aliens vs predator as they dont retain alot of the things that made them great. it may as well be random alien 1 vs random alien 2. trust me if he had stuck with the way the franchises were this film would of retained some horror, some edge of your seat-ness and believe me some extreme action

Ah ok spoiler warning for those who haven't seen the movie.

Damnit, I haven't seen the movie yet!

I hate you. :mad:
