The first installment presented a fairly good story line, but I hate that it’s taking place on earth. That’s not really Sci-Fi IMO. Terrible division of power in that there is ONE major alien killing off TWO of the three predators almost instantly. Kinda cool at first that the predator and the human is ganging up on the aliens, but in retrospect that is an aweful concept – indeed, in the predator movies they show some what of the morality of the predator, but still, humans and predators don’t go together! Some of the sound effects and make up was terrible as well. The sound of the predator’s shoulder cannon sounded like a fart under water and not that cool whipping and slashing sound as in predator 1. Also, the predators looked sooooo fake in AvP1. I laughed when he took off his mask at the end, compared to when he did it in Predator with Arnold – then it was kinda scary (granted I saw it when I was like 13).
The sequel had great effects I thought, but the story sucked so bad! I was expecting the cavalry of marines and what not to arrive at the end, but instead they blew the place up and all those redneck actors as well. Once again, I hate that it’s on Earth. I was hoping that, after seing the first movie, that it would be an all-out battle between predators and aliens on the predator ship or the aliens infesting the predator home planet after arriving and things of that horrific hardcore sci-fi nature. But then of course there would be no place to put the poor little humans. I didn’t like the fact either that the new hardcore character in AvpR, the predalien, had the ability to impregnate people – WTF?! Could the atleast stick to some Alien and Predator originality if the make another sequel. I think that in order for another sequel to really be good, it has to have nothing to do with the past 2 movies. It would have to be a completely new movie. I also think that the director should look at what made ALIEN and ALIENS and PREDATOR so good and use that in the movie. Keep what is useful and discard what is useless. I also think that the Comic book stories have some great story lines to them, and even the PC Games that were realesed about a decade ago. As a matter of fact, those games still kick serious ass IMO. Please understand though that these are sci-fi movies and they need to be treated that way. The predator movies worked well on earth, but the aliens don’t. It needs to be in space, like on a space tanker, or on some foreign planet in deep space. With all the movie technology today and with all the knowledge that’s out there in terms of movie making, a possible sequel or a new type of Aliens vs Predator movie would a huge task, but also a great reward if done well. I am a huge alien and predator fan and I would love to see more of it coming…

I like Alien vs Predator because it’s more action than horror. I don’t like horrors…
But, this means that the movie has changed… Which is bad for the fans…

Alien vs Predator: Requiem looks cool, but i won’t watch it. I’m afraid…

I don’t like Alien vs Predator because of three reasons:

1. Only 3 Predators and a “few” Aliens.
2. It is insane that 1 Alien can kill 2 Predators so easily:
a. The first one could had stabbed the Alien in the head when he got pierced with the Aliens tail.
b. The second one totally owned the Alien. He cut of his tail, smashed walls with him, captured him in that net… And he wasn’t able to kill him.
3. The movie is too short, and the Human characters die to fast.

Good movie overall, those three mistakes, plus the the moderate acting and good story and graphics:

3.75

It isn’t a Sci-Fi horror, it’s a Sci-Fi action film. Good movie, but not for hardcore fans.

honestly they should of stopped there knowing that bigger screen names such as paramount, tristar, 20th century fox didnt want to make it should of made these producers wise up and find some other book to copy.

The other downside to this movies is that it was made on a very very strick budget and boy do i mean tight by the time they had paid the actors and films crews they had just enough for 2 high tech torches a small and cheap set complet with 6 chambers a long corridor with 2 bends and three sections of underground dark caves and that was pretty much there money gone apart from about $100 they spend on jellys and god knows what not to make the aliens look creepy and druelly with all sorts of liquids pooring off them

So based on what the production and direction teams had to work with they did very well for themselves thats ontop of the fact that AvP is a very difficult market of production every one has their own little opinion about everything so by the time you have watched both movies im sure that hardcore AvP fans will be going “ye good film but they forgot about these details blah ……… blah …………. blah”

1) How can THREE preds possibly get so badly owned by a single alien? Thats just ridiculous and outrageous, because those flashbacks by that historian clearly show that the preds nearly ALWAYS owned the aliens in the past, and thats not too surprising considering their superior technology (plasma caster, disc etc. and nearly all of their weaponry are guided).

2) That final struggle against the Queen was sooo lame! Man, I nearly fell asleep…

3)They should have put much more action into that flick, like dozens of aliens lurking everywhere and the preds fighting them desperately.

Some reasons why the sequel maybe much better:

1) The initial AvP was a kinda outline, they can work on it and make the sequel 10 times better.

2) The idea of letting a pred ship crash somewhere around a village, with the military and preds gathering and engaging into a gory three party war with the aliens, sounds gorgeous. It sounds like some real mayhem and ultimate hunt, and thats exactly what AvP should be all about anyway.
