Watched AvP2, I really enjoyed it. Maybe it's because I'm a predator fanboy and compared everything to AvP1.
Also watched Eastern Promises. Fantastic movie. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I went and viewed this heaping steaming pile of shite last night with my son!! God I want my $20.00 back!! They recycled every damn idea, camera angle, scene, and dialogue from the past 4 Alien films, 2 Predator films, and AVP. This series has supersonically become as farcical as Jason X and Freddie 22 for God's sake. They even had the woman (who looked like a dead on Ripley impersonator ) and her lilttle girl running from th Aliens ala the film Aliens, when Ripley and Newt were avoiding certain death 20 years ago. I mean they even had a main character say..." Get To da' Chopper". Give me a break. Plus, the damn movie was entirely too dark to see the creatures well. When are they ever going to install light bulbs in these films? I could see Hellboy and his enemies clear as day in the trailer before AVPR.
The scenes became immensely more gross as facehuggers were no longer necessary with the new and improved Alien/Predator model alien. Now they can walk into a baby ward of a hospital, detect that the women are pregnant, stick that alien tongue thing down their throat and create a litter of little aliens. Yes, the pregnant women's stomachs exploded to reveal multiple aliens screaming from the bloody womb. Of course there was no revelation as to how these new aliens possess this new ability. They just did it. Whatever.
Cool stuff they should have focused on. You get a very brief view of the Predator on his home planet. Maybe about 2 minutes of footage. Explore that not exploding wombs in the back woods of Colorado. The Predator had some cool new gadgets that were incredibly lethal and he carried a vial of potent blue ooze that dissolved anything it was poured on. Cool stuff.
Overall this movie isn't even worth renting in my opinion. Save your cash and watch AVP again. That was a much better film. If I could give this one a negative score I would.
