Alien vs Predator 2 - SPOILERS

[Felon]

The thing is, there isn't much to fighting an alien. They're horror movie critters. An alien either jumps out and guts you, or you spot it and kill it from a safe distance. That's it. That's the fight.

The super-acid blood really nerfs a lot of possibilities.

 

[Insight]

I started writing an AvP sequel the day after I saw the first one (knowing full well they'd do a sequel), but the problem is they'd never use it. You kinda have to be 'in the loop' to get a screenplay read much less considered for production, and I'm not 'in the loop'. Apparently quite a few of the people who are 'in the loop' can't seem to put together a reasonable plot or characters. But maybe that's a discussion for another day.

Though this begs the question - did you better?

Well, the movie was mindless, endless violence action.
The things I didn't like:
- Jackass (soon-to-be-ex, soon-to-be-dead) boyfriend of the "love interest" - I really doubt that persons this annoyingly stupid jackasses really exist, at least not with the commonality they appear in movies.
- "love interest" undressing herself in the swimming pool to get to their boy. Just like the jack-ass above, these kinds of girls don't exist (except maybe in my and the authors wet dreams.). Redeeming feature: She looked hot enough.

Well, maybe these kinds of people do exist in a universe with alien and predators...
---

What I liked:
Every human was fair game. Adults, kids, babies, pregnant women, love interests, everybody dies. Well, there was one weakness: Some people still survived. I hope they redeem that in the next pic and let no one (except maybe one, maybe someone unsympathic and uncool or even "unhot" - if female). I guess someone has to live to tell the tale, otherwise it is nearly as if it didn't happen...

Action and gory violence. If I want to see some over-the-top action horror, this is required.

Plus plenty of clevage shots of Reiko Aylesworth. (I'm such a pig. )

Seconded to the first, me too to the second.

I consider Aliens to be much more of an action movie than a horror movie, and not surprisingly, it's the best of the bunch.

I suspect that more fights with Aliens vs. Predators would be far superior to the unwatchable drek they're crapping out right now, IMNSHO.

Man, that movie blew!

You know its bad when they just resort to shock value:

DUDE! That little kid got a FACE HUGGER!
DUDE! The stoners' heads EXPLODED!
DUDE! The jerk boyfriend's face MELTED!
DUDE! That pool scene perfectly framed a close up of the hot girls BUTT!

and the absolute worse case...

DUDE! The alien totally just pumped eggs into that PREGNANT LADY and ATE THE BABIES in the nursery!

 

[Vraille Darkfang]

Well,

I only have one good thing to say about this movie.

Now, when people ask: "What is the worst movie you have seen in the actual theatre?"

I no longer have to date myself (& my little sister) with: "Rainbow Brite & the Star Stealer"

Other than that (On a 1-10 scale):

Plot: 1 (and this was based on a 10 being '1 group of aliens kills another group of aliens').

Acting: 0

Character Development: -3 (an seeing as how they spent most of the first hour of a 90 minute movie doing just that, its saying something).

Suspense: 0 For the Alien franchise, this is really bad.

Story: -50 Sorry, when you use the "How many licks does it take?" as the keystone of your script, its gonna blow.

Spoiler:

Once the Sheriff spoke with the Government Agent I knew what the last shot would be: Predator/Alien vs Alien in a Death match, both just landing apperent death blows. Then, before a true victor can be determined, the nuke vaporizes both of them. Thus may the internet debate over who kicks who's hiney may continue for all time, or until Warhammer MMORP goes on sale.

"Mr Owl: How many kicks does it take for a Alien or Predator to kill each other?"

"Lets see; 1, 2, 3-NUKE. Three" (the world may never know).

In school I was on the low end of the social scale and I saw PLENTY of this type in my own small town.
