their was about 25 Preds left and in was a Predalien which has the brute strength of a Pred and the stealth and edge of an alien. plus the preds didnt know about it. but i see your logic

Me: "OMFG, Dude... wtf!"
AbolitionofMan: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to betray you."
Me: "That's the 4th time in this game alone!"
Chris: "Third, besides he had the flag I was trying to stop him, how was I supposed to know you were there."
Me: "I said, 'I got the Flag, don't shoot.'"
Chris: "Well those Wraith shots take a while to reach you."
Me: "You were right next to me, I had killed him and a minute passed before you decided to shoot."
Chris: "Hahahahaha, yeah... that was great."

They -blam!-ed it up. Great action but here's the gripes...

[color=white]1. [/color]Why would you introduce characters with a background story only to kill them off... that not only wastes our time but movie time.

[color=white]2. [/color]Not enough fights scenes.. those that were there were good but not enough.

[color=white]3. [/color]How the HELL can you combine 3 distinct cultures w/o a link of some kind... they made it like this... "One word is Aztec, the next two are Egyptian, then we have an Aztecn followed by a Cambodian..." etc. You HAVE to have a common link like Latin does... in all of the current languages you can see the common roots etc.

[color=white]4.[/color] The incubation times of the aliens and thier growth increased by A LOT!! Yet did not remain consistant with the Predator one.

[color=white]5.[/color] I found it funny how the achraeologist was able to read everything PERFECTLY... and how he would run for like 100 yards... decipher something in a second, read it... stop in mid-sentence... run some more and then carry on the story in some other random part of the temple by reading the walls.

[color=white]6.[/color] They rushed this movie... there wasn't any proper transitioning.

[color=white]7.[/color] They should have done more, talked about more and showed more about the history.

That's all I got now... oh and concerning the queen that was released inside the Predator ship... there's a few things that can happen. One, they quickly realize what happened, find it and kill it. Or two... the thing is able to make eggs... and takes out the whole ship ala Alien.
However, here's one thing that baffles me, how did that alien survive if the queen shoved her tail through his gut and lower chest??? Kinds BS if you tell me she just "missed it" and it never tried to escape then if it had an opening and was so close to hatching, if you will. All i gotta say is they BETTER make the 2nd one a combat film in the future like Aliens. By far the best of all of them.

Also they TOTALLY went against thier motto.

[color=white]"Whoever wins, we lose."[/color]

Bullsh.it!! We win... not only by this ending but also in general, obviously the Predator's have been winning for the last like 2000+ years, and look where we are... that line ruined part of the movie IMO.

They didn't overdo it. Overdoing it was Alien: Ressurrection.

They've made books, comics, graphic novels, and video games about this for like 15+ years. I say it's a bout damn time. Only wish they would've made it like the PC game from 97/98. Now THAT would be an awesome movie. A combat film with, Aliens, Predators, and Colonial Marines.

iI thought some one the earlier fight scene in the movie where hard to follow cause of shakey camera and being to dark...

the movie was also really short. only 1hr 20min. most are around 2 hours. The movie was so short that it was lacking enough time for everything. didn't have enough history lesson part, fight scenes, plot developement... it just felt like everything in the movie was to short.

It was good movie and worth seeing even though it feels very rushed. The fight scenes were cool and there was almost no CG, which was great. Except for the spacship of course... that was CG, but they did that nicely to.

Agreed. Very rushed throughout the whole thing.

Also, Mister Ninja. Outstanding signature. I love that short little song by SoaD.

also what the hell was with that chick with white hair? they start to develope her character, then they just kill her off with a bunch of no name characters. And after watching the movie i realized that i have no idea what the hell any of the characters names were. and there was alot of empty story plot parts... like why the hell did the main character carry that spear and shield made by the preditor from an alien corpse around? she never even used it, she just carried it around for a while then eventually left it somewhere.

We won.

But we where never really in danger. no matter who wins the rest of the planet isnt really effected.... ooooooo scary! if preditors win they go home and we are alright. if aliens win they starve and die off at the north pole. or if they dont die off the just get the hell nuked out of them later.

and there wernt any unforseen story plot twists. like oooo big suprise that it was somewhat of a tie at the end.

Well, would you just throw that on the ground in front of the Predator after he made it for you? I think not.

Also, she did use the spear, at the end of the movie to save his life, she jammed it into the queens neck.

ahh, i see now. i didn't reconize it as the same speat cause it didn't have the claw on it, or what ever it was.

and i would have been pretty damn funny if she just threw it down in front of him and then he got mad and killed her. LOL

-edit-
do you remeber any of the characters name achilles? all I rember is that the rich guys name started with a W cause that was written all over his big ship.

i liked that movie, loved it actually, but there were a lot of things that could have made it better. they shouldn't have made the first two predators die so quick when the third saved himself from most of the attacks that killed his teammates. what i agree most with is that it was WAY too short. it was only 87 minutes. "a cinderella story" was longer than it. so says moviefone.i haven't seen it or anything.~ahem~

p.s. what happened to the predators mask after he took it off? cause if i was the girl, i would have gone and looked for it and put it in my house as a cool decoration.

Here is some trivia can you name every gadget/weapons the preds have?
