Default Alien v Predator Requiem movie! rocks!!!

This movie got bad ratings so I wasn't expecting the best, yet having just watched it i have to say its the best one to come out Seriously the battles with the Predator and aliens is spot on - from what ive read the movie flopped cause of the story line - town ppl get to take on the Aliens - still ignore that bit and just watch the predator who returns to avenge his fallen comrades, he kicks ass.

Great movie! way better than AVP
Puts on tin helmet and waits for incoming...

AVP was an entertaining romp. I fully expect this latest instalment to follow with more of the same.

AVP was horrendously awful. I won't be heading to see this one anytime soon, I hear the Predalien looks like a Predator with a rasta wig on

Awful movie! Saw it last night, and giggled in the wrong places. The acting is epicly bad, and the fx below average.

Aye, AVP:R is an awful movie. One of those teenhorrors, I mean, all the things are there, even the hot nympho blonde! You hardly recognize it as a sequal to AVP. The movie felt too clean to be related to aliens or predators, like the scene where the Predalien goes into the hospital and see all them babies. If you are going to show a scene like that then ffs show it to shred the poor diaper-poopers apart or dont show the scene at all. Where's the Queen... I wan my Queen.. even she had more balls than the humans & aliens & predator combined in this movie.

I refuse to watch AVP (still haven't) or this unless it gets the atmosphere of the ALiens and the Predator right. Point is - if it doesn't properly combine the 'Aliens' movie with the first Predator movie, forget it. From what I heard, it is dumbed down and made towards a PG-13 rating. Thats BS.

My 2 cents.

I wish I would've been as wise as you... While AvP 1 is way better than the AvP:R, there wasnt that many good points on the first one (I hear Hunter coming in to rant about the tournament Predators had in AvP 1 :p), one thing I liked was Mr. Weyland, brought back memories of the Alien series. And of course, the scenery was a closed space, not an open area like in AvP:R. Open areas just wont work with aliens, it has to be something claustrophobic, with aliens crawling around in every hole they can fit into. I mean, why didnt the aliens leave the city in AvP:R? ARE THEY FECKING IDIOTS!? There's 6 billion people to headbite in the world, but noooo, they just stand there and wait to be nuked... oops, I just told you how AvP:R ends... :p

Since Tchocky has been agreeing with me lately time to return the complement. I agree 100% with you.


AVP is an anagram for total and utter Bull Crap.

@SUBMAN1

Spot on the money.


@Dowly

I for one don't give a toss if you gave the ending way.

And what the hell did Predalien do to that woman in hospital!? Looked like it had a half a meter long d**k that it rammed to her throat.

I think I did everyone a favor to let them know the anti-climatic ending.
