Sure looks like a lot of people sure get fucked up in this film (young kids, cute girls, etc.) This may actually turn out to be the film AVP should have been.

<span class=“Bold”>JediRandy: They’re certainly beyond any repair you’re capable of making.</span></span>

<span class=“Italics”>MeBeJedi: You aren’t one of us.
<span class=“Bold”>Go-Mer-Tonic: I can’t say I find that very disappointing.</span></span>

<span class=“Italics”>JediRandy: I won’t suck as much as a fan edit.</span>

So, take a typical 80s slasher, throw in modern special effects, make the bad guys aliens from distant worlds, and you've got AvP 2.

the first film was utter blasphemy because the dark horse comic is so darn awesome.

Plus it was neither a good film for Alien fans, who really only like alien and aliens.

or the predator fans who only like the first film with the governator.

“Always loved Vader’s wordless self sacrifice. Another shitty, clueless, revision like Greedo and young Anakin’s ghost. What a fucking shame.” -Simon Pegg.

I thought Predator 2 was decent. I don't really remember Alien 3, and I didn't bother seeing the 4th film. Seems like both franchises have been going downhill since the 90's. And this film might not do either any favors.

I wonder what someone like Frank Miller or Quentin Terrantino would do if given the chance to do the next movie.

The trailer was a big "Hey, fans! See? This is a rated-R movie! Watch it!"

what I really HATE about it, is the typical junky teen slasher/zombie/horror setting.
The ALIEN and the PREDATOR are far to COOL to be used as a replacement for psychos and zombies.

Another thing that's boring me is the actors. They all look alike. When I watch those movies I always have a feeling that the same actress is playing again and again in all those movies. They are so unrecognizable.

Whatever you may talk about Alien 4, which was kind of bizzare, but they got a bunch of charismatic actors. Almost all of the mercenary group got a personality and you could think: Wow, now that's a bad guy! I bet they stand a chance against aliens!".
With the cheerleaders and a band of jocks that appear to be in this film, I don't think so.

I'm not a fan of the military in the film either. This should have been done in space... honestly. Maybe finally showing what the alien planet is like... but thankfully with directors such as these, I'm glad it's not that way.
