> > > > > spoiler galore i just saw the movie < < < < < after just watch the movie . i have this to say . i be a huge fan of the alien series and and a pretty big fan of predator . for an indicator of how long i have be a fan of the series and i will tell you first off that i saw alien when it come out on video tape in the late 80 and saw alien 3 in theater and i obviously saw alien after it mid 70 release and and it scar me like few movie have ever be able to do since . i saw predator later and and very much regard it a a good movie and in that it tell a well think out story and have excellent character and and an original plot and not to mention a great villain . i believe a make a good movie mean tell a good story and and tell it well . this movie have neither a good story and or and a it seem and a good story teller . what make alien and alien stand out a excellent movie be the fact that ridley scott and james cameron be superb story teller and which mean they make movie that resonate with the audience . the character in the movie ( avp ) be and at best and instantly forgettable and and the dialogue be stupid and unoriginal and and give no indication any of the character have a personality . anderson make a very feeble attempt to get you to care a little about lex and sebastian by give them each ( and a few other character ) painfully bore monologue about my dad die on a mountain and blah blah here and cliché line here and meaningless dribble there and and let them have ( a few ) more than 4 line to read . what happen to good movie with memorable character and good plot and and good dialogue . be those time past u now . since when do a single monologue pas a character development . i have no idea of the name of any of the other character whatsoever and except charles bishop weyland . which bring me to that point . lance character be horribly dry and unemotional and and when he die and i do not care and or even notice really . not only that and the movie tell you nothing of his character and except you assume he be rich beyond all comprehension and and he do something with robot . which to me and seem like just a passing and mutter excuse to have lance hendrickson in the movie . there be nothing even remotely clever about his wasted role and and no discernible relation to bishop the android be make and only assume and and definitely not explore or even attempt to explore . it also completely disregard the fact that in alien 3 and the man claim he be the designer of the bishop android . so . it just make no sense and and it just kind of try to spoon feed you that for some reason and this be the real creator and and not the guy in alien 3 and and doesn not ever even try to tell you why it right . there be many many many waste scene and but one that particularly come to mind be the sacrificial chamber scene . the scientist seem to already know they be in danger when the egg arose and although they should not have have any clue whatsoever about what the egg be . they show no curiosity and and immediately draw weapon and then be easily facehugged and and quickly spawn alien and fast than in any early alien film and literally within minute of be impregnate there be an embryo bursting from the victim chest . which beg the question and why the hell would you bring weapon to a remote location in antarctica and and not bring exploration or excavation equipment of any kind . i do not think automatic rifle ( with laser sight ) and 45 cal . automatic pistol be common equipment for an archaeological expedition . make no sense . and some of you may end up accuse me of nitpick and and youre damn right and i expect a brilliant movie to rank with the work of james cameron and ridley scott and john mctiernan because that what be promise and and yes those movie be what i judge this one by . there be not a single scene in any of those movie that be blatantly unexplained and or be not logical in term of the story . there be so very much that be illogical and wrong with this movie . a for the predator . of the three and two be brutally slaughter very quickly and it seem a if they have no chance at all . the predator in the original movie be a fast and agile hunter that use clever tactic and stealth to quickly bring down an entire special force unit and one at a time and in the heavy jungle of south america and by hand and alone . there be 3 of them in this movie and and it seem that the single predator in the first movie could have kill and not only all of the people in this movie by itself and but all three of the predator in this movie by itself . these predator be slow and easily sneak up upon and and have no seem idea of what be go on and but just seem to kill because that what they felt like do . or . something . in the original predator and it be come after arnold and his team and and there wasn not anything they could do about it . in this movie and the predator just kinda . well . act like guy in suit . the original predator could leap 20 foot in the air from tree to tree and these could kinda wobble around and run kinda . the original predator be like a ghost and these be just dead . and thing just go from cheesy to outright goofy when lex and the hero predator ( who and without hesitation and murder about 4 people a few minute earlier ) become friend and team up against the queen . i think they might even kiss at one point . and they even have a slo mo run from danger scene reminiscent of . any movie where a big dude and his hot chick co star triumphantly defeat whatever it be theyre suppose to defeat and and be run from an inevitable explosion . i basically take this movie a an insult and a spit in the face and of all serious fan like myself . the end be obviously open for a sequel . i say and bring back ridley scott or james cameron for the love of all that be holy . because they be the only one that could save this franchise now . i only wish they could have have a triumphant end and and not silly garbage like this . rip .
