One, Two Preddie's coming for you...

Advantages: Don't have to think much...
Disadvantages: Bad acting, dark scenes, Why Bother?

...that the Predators bred the aliens so that they could hunt them down as sport. I did not mind AVP - I though the end was corny, but it still held lots of the claustrophobia of the first films, of things in the dark, and creatures ready to pounce… So… then… what of this second film of the AVP series? Well… Part 2 ***** A predator ship crash-lands on Earth, in a small Colorado town. On board are several jars of Face Huggers and a Predator-Alien ...
...the town, along with the Face Huggers that escape. One by one, the people are being hunted, killed and harvested. Until a lone Predator comes to Earth to put a stop to the alien infestation… Alien and Predator do battle and Mankind is caught in the cross fire… lots of blood and killing ensues… I have stalled at writing this part of the review for a while as I tried to decide whether I liked this movie or not. I will say one thing, though, and that ...

Aliens, Aliens Everywhere

Advantages: Special Effects Are Ok
Disadvantages: Everything Else

Aliens, Aliens Everywhere ===================== I've loved the Alien films for a long time and despite quite a few poor reviews I liked the first AVP film. At the end of the last film it was clear that they had left it open for a sequel with the infected predator giving birth to a alien/predator cross breed (as we all know Aliens take on the form of their hosts). The predators ship with mutant alien on board crashes in the only place it's possible ...
...of hosts to infect the aliens can have a field day. Their only problem is one predator who comes to sort things out when he gets wind of what's happened, he is the fly in the ointment. Let the battle commence. Conclusion ========== Despite the poor reviews I was quite looking forward to this film and still had high hopes. I think the last films reviews were a little harsh. However this film really does not stand up well. In fact it falls down ...

Absolute Drivel!

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: No atmosphere, no character developement

...an effort to destroy the Aliens who crash-landed on the planet. Unfortunately for him, the Aliens have multiplied like rabbits, and a single mutant Predator/Alien has become… dozens. 'AVP2' is, without a doubt, the worst sequel in a series that was, until now, Sci-Fi entertainment at its best. There is absolutely no analogy to be made - 'AVP2' was this year's biggest disappointment for Sci-Fi fans. The greatest sin committed against the series ...
...killing only worthy opponents - Aliens or humans toting weapons. In the last movie 'AVP', the fighting camaraderie that was displayed between the last surviving human and the Predator came as a surprise - because fans of Predator had never actually considered the possibility that the Predators possessed feelings… or were able to express them. When the Predator marked Alexa Woods (the only surviving human from the last film) with the symbol of a Predator ...

AVP - Actually Very Pants

Advantages: Errrrrrrr.............
Disadvantages: Where do I begin?

NO, no, no, no, NO, no, NOOOOO!!! I could really end the review there, but how would that be helpful to you? Answer? It wouldn't. It might give you an indication of my frustration, but not in terms of why. Let me explain. Take Alien, and Aliens, and Alien 3, and even to a certain extent the fourth Alien film. They all had one common appealing factor: the Alien, right? Right! Take Predator. Okay, not so much Predator 2. It wasn't Danny Glover's ...
...Let's combine the two legendary sci-fi alien villains, and make a film, pit them against each other, and call it AVP (Alien vs Predator). Okay, so I thought this was a great idea, and watched it, all the way through, and hated the fact that they tried to build this around a bit of a plot, focusing on the people instead of the two 80s action aliens. What with public agreement that it wasn't targeted properly, you'd think that they would make a bit ...

This time its rubbish!

Advantages: Ok if its the unrated cut
Disadvantages: Poor theatrical version

Expectations were high for this movie with the way the previous one ended and this let us down. Big Time! Apart from a PredAlien Queen & the whip weapon there is nothing new in this film. It borrows very heavily from the plots of Aliens, Predator, Resident Evil & The Return of the Living Dead. We start where the last film left off with the Predalien chest-buster which causes the ship to crash, all the Predators on board are killed by the Predalien. ...
...their thing on the local people of the town where the ship crash lands. It was pretty obvious as the only one of it's kind that the Predalien was going to turn out to be a Queen (that's what it's doing to the pregnant woman in the hospital, you see the eggs going down her throat). Basically we're following a towns battle for survival and a Predator's hunt of a new species for a trophy. We have a mum who is also a soldier with her daughter (which ...

A crappy teenage horror flick with aliens and predators thrown in

Advantages: Absolutely none.
Disadvantages: Everything (literally)

...crappy teenage horror flick with aliens and predators thrown into the mix. Gone is the PG rating of the previous movie; this time we see a young boy being facially raped by a parasitoid, and, later, a pregnant woman's belly expanding after being injected with a triple of alien babies. That's not exhilarating; rather, it's bloody disgusting (and this is coming from a man who adores violence). With characters so annoying that we don't really give a ...
...a pathetic attempt to echo the credibility of the very first Alien film), and lighting so dark that we can't seem to figure out what the hell is going on, AVP2, overall, is about as stale as your Great Grandmother's fruitcake, without any of the raisins left in. It pains me to say it, but the much loved Alien and Predator franchises are well and truly dead. For God's sake, don't make another one. ...

Quick review of Aliens Vs Predator - Requiem (DVD)

My opinion is that it was not a bad film it is a very good carry-on from Alien vs Predator which i also enjoyed. The new half alien half predator adds some excitement to the film and it gets into the action very quickly, however it has a poor story, just another invasion of aliens and the predators have to stop them. If you enjoyed the first alien vs predator film you may like this but others may find themselves disappointed with the poor story and disappointing acting . ...

Review of Aliens Vs Predator - Requiem (DVD)

A Poorly Written Sequel

Advantages: Awesome CG and Great Costume Designs
Disadvantages: Poor Story, Poor Acting, and Action is Too Choppy

...by the second as several Aliens and Facehuggers are running lose throughout the town and a Predator also makes his way to earth and they kill anyone that's gets in the way of there war. If there is anything that Alien series and Predator series have in common, it's their weak plots (mainly their sequels) and the Alien vs. Predator series has only made it worse. This movie hardly has a plot, it's just fast paced action for the most part. The acting ...
...part of soap opera instead of a movie. Reiko Aylesworth as Kelly however, is fairly decent and is the only character who acts like she has a brain. The CGI and costume designs is very good in this movie. The CGI is realistic and very well done. The costume designs for the most part remain the same from Alien vs. Predator with a few minor updates. The Predalien is an awesome costume design. The action in this movie would have been nice if it wasn't ...

Awful Movie

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: Camera Work, Acting, Story.

I brought this movie after I watched the first AVP. (which i thought was great). But has soon as I watched 10 mins of this, something didnt feel right about it. I gave it a chance, but it just seemed to get worse and worse. I don't usually turn off a film before the end, But in this case I did. Whats poor about is the acting is awful and the story is just downright rubbish. It's very low budget with blur bits chasing college/school kids. The camera ...
...or anything, it's too dark I'm struggling to find any advantages about this movie, but just seems rushed and i'm not just saying this one of the WORST films i've seen in a while. Proberly the only advantage is how cheap i got it. I only paid £3 for it but in the end i kinda felt out of pocket. If you want to watch Alien or Predator go back to the 1970's and 80s, which were awesome. Don't get conned from the good trailers Stay away from this one ...
