This movie is a must see. Don't listen to the reviews. Much more than a gore fest. Pure sweetness that makes you want to throw on a cape and pretend your a predator. Definately not a let down. A little short but totally awesome. Those of you who did see it what did you think. I totally loved this and will get the Special Edtion DVD for shure.

I don't know what reviews you've been reading, but AvP cannot be called a gore-fest in good faith.

That is what they said it would be, and at moives.com all the reviews say it is worthless entertainment, jerks. And who the hell sid it was horrible. Actually why the hell did I put that option there as only trolls would use it casue the movie was awesome.

Awesome movie, but it had alot more potential, and because of that Paul Anderson (the director) should die. But although it's short and should have been adapted from one of the books, it's still a must see multiple times.

It would have actually been a decent movie if it actually followed the rules set by the other series, and even followed the continuity of the Predator movies. For example, in 2, we saw that the U.S. Government had a vested interest in the Predators and their technology, so how was it that some rich yuppie beat them to the punch?

Because they wanted to include something from the alien franchise. The company, Weyland industries, is the company, WeylandYutani, that is in most of the Alien movies. And Lance Hendrikson (the old Weyland guy from the movie) also played Bishop in the 3rd and 4th Alien movies. So they let you assume the Bishop model was modeled after him (although in the 3rd Alien movie it shows the man who it actually is modeled after, so it was kind of stupid).

I suppose they could argue that Weyland cloned himself over and over and kept running the company.

But Weyland played no significant role in the movie short of buying everyone off. Would it have made much difference if some other yuppie did it? No. Did the film explain how Weyland Industries gained an upperhand in space technology from alien technology? No. It made no impact on the movie whatsoever to include Weyland, except that I laughed my ass off when the Pred put him in his place.

I would have been happy if what they included from the Alien franchise instead would have been the fact that there's a little bit of time that passes between infection and chest explosion, (instead of the 30 seconds or so that the humans had) much like how the last Pred's timeline went ;)

Yes true, but that wouldn't have been a problem if that stupid -blam!-head Paul Anderson had just adapted the book, Alien VS. Predator: Prey. Which takes place in the future.

I saw AvP today. It sucked donkey balls. Big, fat, hairy donkey balls. Compared to the 1st Predator and Alien movies, this suked ass...well, if u think about it, the sequels sucked. so i dunno y i saw this 1. I wasted $7 and 1.5 hrs of my life over there. In my meter of kick ass movies, shown he-uh:

[color=gold]5: Hot Naked Chick+Matrix Action+Harold+Kumar funny+Hot naked chick

4: Regularly Hot Naked chick+action+Anchorman funny+hot naked chick

3: Fast and Furious. It explains itself.

2: Fast and Furious 2. This also explains itself

1: Anime. Anime sucks balls. SO this really explains itself.

0: The Alien sequels and Predator sequels. Except AvP. Self-Explanatory[/color]

In conclusion, [color=white]AvP deserves a 2.[/color]

Well just for the records I do know how to spell it as I am most non-spelling-bbe difficulty words. Dunno why I put the h in, though.

How could you hate 'Aliens' its considered the greatest of all the movies?

The fact that you consider it the greatest movie means nothing to anybody. Personally (and I like most of the other alien movies) I think AvP sucked major balls... crappy acting, only 2 good fight scenes, cheesy lines... I mean come on people stop trying to defend its suckyness.

I even liked most of Resurrection, and I can't see how anyone could like AvP.

Thank you... I don't think anybody really does like it. I think they are in shock from how bad it is and trying to justify the waste of $7.

Do I want to drag myself into this argument? I think not.
