Review: Aliens Vs Predator: Requiem

I must've missed that bit when I read the review otherwise I'd have mentioned it myself.

Maybe I was drunk ... :^P

A touch of both, I suspect.

Whilst I don't want to come across as defending this plophouse film, I disagree with your statement of "an alien inexplicably bursts from the chest of a dead Predator "

I watched AvP last night (I was bored) and it's quite clear as to how the alien gets there. Ol' Teenage Pred gets impregnated before he blows up the temple, while he's doing his "battle-scar" thang.

Maybe that's the bit in the film when you were too drunk to focus. Or care.

Absolutely fucking dire. I haven't been as pissed at a movie in a long time. Some nice direction, but when that's been ripped off wholesale from the superior originals, that's not difficult. The only character I can remember the name of was Dallas, ans that's because it's a charcater in the original Alien. Was the little girl casted as she sounded exactly the same as Newt when she screamed?

"Requiem". Classy!

Yeah, a film with no people would be cool but your average American would get bored ten minutes in.

And Aliens attacking the Predator homeworld? Hmm, as I see it Aliens are parasites with no technology so it'd have to be some kind of infestation like in this movie. Likewise I don't see the Aliens having a homeworld of their own as they would've use all the other creatures for incubation!

And as a continuation on my rant about this film... when will someone have the guts to make a film about either species, without the involvement of humans? It's like they don't exist when people aren't around. This film would have been ten times better without humans in it, if the Aliens attacked the Predator homeworld or vice versa. Films like this don't need dialogue, the visuals speak for themselves.

You're the boss!

I think this site needs an 'invisibe ink' system thing, eh?

Yeah, except the Predator is just sitting in his Lay-Z-Boy scratching his arse. Lame lame lame. My biggest problem with this film was the ending.

SPOILERS COMING UP...


So the army nuke the city at the end, right? Why does nobody seem at all bothered by this? The characters that survive do bring it up, but generic army man just says "We were just following orders." And that's it! No more questions! A whole town of people wiped out, and they don't even give a shit! I don't even want to comment on the continuity effects this has on the original films, it's just utterly baffling.

END SPOILERS

I see these movies so you guys don't have to. Be warned.

Even I didn't really like this, although I did nearly get a cripbone during the bit on the Predator homeworld.
