If you came here and expect me to hide the spoilers, too damn bad.  

Anyhow, I just got back from watching Aliens vs Predator and I have to say it's a must-see for any fanboy.  Excellent visuals (particularly the Queen) and some suspenseful moments.  Not too many though, it is an action movie.  And as such it bows the conventions and the usual suspects survive.  I admit though I wasn't too fond of the fights, they tended to be a little chaotic and rapidly dissolved into flailing arms and claws and tails making it hard to figure out just what was happeening.  But nonetheless it was pretty damn fun.  Not a particularly deep plot but who wants one!  There's various homages as well, such as Weyland being Bishop (or more accurately the other way) including the knife-thing.

Oh, and there's a predalien. :devil:

Who wins? Tell us in black text if you want to.

SPOILER INTO WHAT A PREDALIAN IS DONT LOOK UNLESS U WANT TOO






 

predalien is alien that bursted out of a Predator, an example seen in alien 3 when that alien came out of a dog, it was smaller and red but faster, aliens which in the games are called "Runners", when a alien comes out of a predator, its called a predalien which is really strong, so whenever a face hugger lays a chest buster in something, the alien get something from the host. may it be stregnth, speed, or both dosent really matter, all u got to know is that is it strong and fast.

[Gloriano]

Well sounds good......

*see, aliens vs predator 2 PC.

[.::Tin Can::.]

Predaliens are very tough-ass aliens, with large whacking power. *swipe*

[Setekh]

I've gotta see this movie. I'm glad it's more action than suspense, I shouldn't have any problems sitting through it.

How can this movie  only be rated  PG?

There's a surprisingly limited amount of blood.

Oh, and the very first scene is too cool.  Hint:  It's not what you think it is at first glance.

[ZylonBane]

Well, AvP is currently ranking 9% on Rotten Tomatoes, and 5.9 on IMDb.

Directed by the same guy who committed Resident Evil and Event Horizon. Sounds like one to catch on video.

[Mr Carrot]

Well i think eveyrone going to see it is a must, if it bombs BOTH franchises die.

admitedly fox should loose out financially for ditching the Alien 5 with Ridley directing and Cameron writing (you ****ing ****s Fox!) but if it does well then as well as the obvious sequal we might finally see Alien 5.

[Fear]

i love aliens films. though i the 3rd was the ****... but the rest was so good. specially the second.

alien 5 will be awesome... i wish they will do it.

[Corhellion]

dude...

Just saw it...If you liked the Alien movies and the Predator movies...you won't be disappointed...

From the beginning right through to the end...it's a good show.

...I wanna go again...

...my only complaint...the chest-bursters bursted too soon...but that's only my opinion...and the Predalien...tis nice looking...

Go see AVP...now!

Go...stop reading this...if you're still reading this you suck cause you aren't watching AVP...if you're still reading this...you have no life and will probably watch AVP on DVD cause you can't pay to watch it on WIIIIIIIIIIIDESCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEN...

...go...NOW!

[Bobboau]

I already have, the first half was too slow, and the predalien came a little too late for it to realy be cool, they should have faced one just before the queen, but no

[übermetroid]

Good Movie!  It was like J.P.  The queen was running around like a TREX and the aliens were like the rapters.  Petty cool if you ask me.

Only complaint was some stupid plot things, the aliens popping out way to fast (like in 5 mins or less) and not enough of that predalien.

[Bobboau]

well that was just for the sequal

[Jetmech Jr.]

I liked how they used certain elements from the AvP books in the movie as well.
Isn't it actually rated pg-13?

[Dark_4ce]

I quite liked them incorporating elements of the books into the film as well. However, in true Paul Anderson style, he made something that was good and watchable, but had the potential to be so much more. So I don't really blame him, the producers prolly wanted him to tone down and do it fast. But if he would have been given free reign, then it would have been a truly awsome movie.

Personally, if they would have followed the character development arc from the early avp book, and had the predator and the chick level things earlier in the film, to allow more character development, the whole ending would have been way more emotional. Yes, it would have been more of a buddy movie, but better then the last minute " Oh ok, tag along."

But I'm not complaining. It was a good movie, even tho it wasnt mega violent, it was done tastefully. And it was really fast and furious. Hope they make a sequel.
