If you havn't notice, a baby fest itself won't compensate for the lack of story and character development as well as a plot so damm similar to all those cheap budget zombie movies
Apparantly the majority of people who saw AVPR stated it is horrible storyline wise, character wise and a few others.
Which is why i find it hard to take you seriously, why the hell do you think predator, alien and aliens are so great when compared to this unworthy piece of shit? Because we actually feel something when a character gets brutally murdered, it makes the movie feel even greater as compared to AVPR where none of us could give a **** about any of the characters, hell character development is one thing which contributes to a great movie, and this shit sequel lacked that.
Apparantly it DOES have a better storyline along with the fact its original.
You are not making any sense here at all.
Right and if AVP should be taken seriously and wants to be a better movie, it should have a better storyline, a better plot, be more original and handled by professional directors as well as written by professionals, not amatuers like the strausse brothers and Shane Salerno.
AvP-R comes off as nothing but an attempt to cash in with teen drama and gore porn.
And for the record, it has the worst storyline in the entire franchise of AVP, aliens and predator.
Hell if AVP is bad enough this is FAR worse.
The ONLY thing i liked about AVPR is the badass predator, the predators homeworld and at the least theres gore, this is the only thing AVPR is better than AVP in, everything else AVP is the victor- fights. story, characters...

EDIT, kazenji, this is MY opinion and you saying the movie is good is your opinion. Since we are entitled to out own opinions ill just leave it at that.
I know what you said before sylar in the previous but i still have something say
apart from the original storyline it still was kinda crap and also the story for AVPR kinda burrows from the Predator: Homeworld story where they fight in a american town minus the aliens
Yea and this is AVP not santa claus vs the easter rabbit (With the first avp film being almost PG)
Actually i am sense why go to all that trouble updating some hissing sound for the aliens or doing some new music for the film when you could use all the older classic stuff and i'm pretty the strause brothers were going for the look of the movies from the 80's hence why they re-watch all the old movies.

Ok then. Its your opinion.
Ill agree its crap to a certain extent, the team up was soso for me, there was no gore and hell at least the aliens from AVPR looked more biomechanical which i liked as opposed to the shit looking aliens in AVP, thats it, Oh yes and i do like the badassness of the predator in AVPR compared to the first. That sums it all.
I would have given AVPR a very good rating if they developed the characters so it feels more climatic.
-Chose a different setting where it suits the alien and predator, somewhere like maybe space or another planet set in the future
-A better plot
-Better storyline.
Gore alone and pure fighting does not equate to it being a good movie. I'm sure you liked the movie due to the gore and fighting, not due to the storyline. Hell i think we can agree to that.
Ok, ill admit it, i actually liked that, especially the predators and aliens design.
And one more thing i wished they had done which is so essential for a sequel, backstory and also the fact that they should show how weyland-yutani merged.
At least it had a f*cking plot. This sequel had nothing. I don't care if it's an action flick for the sole purpose of entertainment, it was boring. Blood and guts, with Aliens ripping people to pieces. That's just what it was. And it got old, really fast.
I know people complained about the focus of the humans in the first movie, but it was no better here. I also forgot about the Predator that was in the film...
Perhaps the worst thing about the film was the dialogue. It was horrendous. "The government doesn't lie!" everyone in the theatre chuckled at that. Another bad line was, I think went something like, "People are dying. We need guns!".

Lol yea "People are dying, we need guns!", worse line i have seen yet.
But as i said, i liked the first one, it may be crap due to the absence of gore, the teamup and the shitty designs of the alien and predators but at least it had character development, likable characters, a proper dialogue, a good story and a better plot.
The 2nd one was pure action with the absense of a good plot and story as well as there are several flaws with the movie.
I have a question about AVP2 btw, the ship that crashed due to the predalien, was it the same exact ship as the first? Because wikipedia said its a different ship.

This sounds great because I've had a hankering to see some Aliens and Predators tear **** up. I don't care who's there or why, I just want to see some pieces flying.

This should be in the Sci Fi/Fantasy or Horror Forum. The origins of both are the two film series - just because they've had comic series released about them, doesn't make it a comics-to-film project.

Remove the actors or pretend they aren't there, then it would be an ok film.
Of course seeing their acting sucks, hell their shit acting is on par with another piece of shit known as DOA: Dead or Alive. The brother strausse's are amatuers when compared to the so-so paul anderson. Bottom line, AVP2 sucks balls, all thanks to a lousy writer and idiot directors who claimed that AVPR is going to be more gory than the alien trilogy, but guess what? Alien 3 and alien ressurection are far more gory than AVP2 and more releastic and believable as well.
