avp fail on several level . it completely fail a an addition to both series and and it fail a a film itself . when i hear anderson be in charge of this project and i know that it couldn not be good news . and then when the pg 13 rating come along and my fear be multiply and confirm . a huge fan of both series and i want more than anything to like this film and for it to at least be average . after all and i can not think of many film idea that have have more potential . this very well could have be the best action and sci fi film ever create and only if it have a decent director . i actually give anderson a chance and a 10 % chance of make an average film and and a 0 % chance of make it into what it deserve and have the potential to be . those who give him more should be embarrass . i be embarrass that i pay to see it and however and i have a unique way of justify it . since i pay for it and the only way i can redeem myself be to rip this excuse for a film apart in this review and which will be long and and tell everyone i know how much this film completely suck and how the original and all copy should be burn . massive spoiler representfirst off and it fail right off for have a weak and unbelievable story and all thanks to the brilliantly moronic anderson . full of hole . an ancient pyramid and reminiscent of the cube and 2000 foot below the ice in antarctica . riiiiiight . predator have hunt human for year and so let send some adolescent one to go after the fierce specie in the universe and and hey and let only have them do it every 100 year . riiiight . a chain up queen alien that also be frozen and imprison by some wimpy as mongoloid predator that get school like little btches . riiiiight . a predator and a woman make friend and the predator even make a shield and spear for her out of an alien carcass . oh f ing kay . i will stop and but it doesn not take a film professor to see where this be go . they might as well have put an alien predator sex scene in it . so much potential and this be what anderson shit out . anyone with even a lick of respect for either franchise can see how utterly stupid this film be even before any production be set forth . it get even bad . why in the hell would you claim to be a fan of both franchise and then go against many thing we know about both creature and make yourself look like a fool . easy and anderson be a fool . face hugger now fall off within minute of attachment and the gestation period for the chest burster be now also a few minute . and and to top it all off their blood be only sporadically acidic . how that for consistency . want more . why in the hell would predator set up an entire human civilization to perpetuate their ritual alien hunt and bring weapon with them that melt when they come in contact with alien blood . if these thing have be hunt alien for hundred of year and you would think they would be smart than that . and while be at it and let change the way the predator and alien look . the preds in this film look like they have down syndrome with their mask off . the fact that they look like linebacker doesn not help either . the original in 1987 look infinitely good and more realistic and not like some lumber oaf in a rubber suit . and just to make them fiercer and a if it be need and let make the alien so that they can open their mouth as wide a a muppet and particularly guy smiley and can . this be the material we wait 14 year for . i actually felt sorry for the predator in this movie and theyre just sad . on top of look like they ride in on the short ship and they get their ass kick . colonial marine do well against a hive of alien than the preds do against a few run around . and these be friggin predator . i think the predator hunt the alien . these preds be sissy and and be about as stealthy a a rhino give birth during an electrical storm . utterly ridiculous . the cinematography use be entirely out of place . the quick cut edit use during the fight scene be some of the bad i have see to date . you can not see anything that go on and you might as well not even see the fight at all . that exactly what i be look forward to after 14 year and especially in a film with vs. in the title . while some of this may be possibly attribute to the studio ax it to make it pg 13 and the shot that be leave be far too close to the action and lead me to believe that this may have not be the studio fault a some anderson supporter claim . it truly confuse and annoy . straight out of the blair witch project . and let not forget to throw some matrix bullet time into a face hugger sequence and we would be lose without that . and for a film that be obviously mean to be action pack and it certainly isn not . half of it measly runtime be spend set up this ridiculous scenario . where be the damn epic showdown . this be a versus movie right . end of poilers . and to all of you people defend this film and what in the hell be you think . just because youre a fan of both franchise doesn not mean you have to swallow this and embarrass yourself on these page . we deserve more . if you be ok with this film and do find it enjoyable and you be completely void of any taste in film . i simply do not understand your mediocrity . for have more potential than almost any film in the last decade and release this stank pickle and i give avp negative . r. i. p. alien and predator .
