The biggest problem with the movie i saw was that you see a planet of Predators, one of them sees some bad shit going on down at earth and goes to sort it out. One predator. So you think "ok, if it gets hairy he'll call in some back up and its on" but it never happens. No matter what happens, he stays solo. Come on, like another 2 preds would have hurt the movie.
And even compared to AvP 1, the humans in this were badly written, Alien was brilliant because it had Rippley, Predator was brilliant because it had Dutch, but this...meh. Who gives a shit about the prissy idiot that dates jocks. So the pizza boys a whingy pussy. How do you make a ex-con so boring? Why not just call the mother Ripley instead of making her a crap clone? Sure there were some cool moments, but when theres so much crap in between...
went to see this last night, I liked it very much except for a few things which could have made it alot better.
It took a long time to get into things, especially with the camera climbing up very large trees, it took like 30 seconds to get to the actual predator in the tree.
Also, why was there only 1 predator? I wanted some insane action with like at least 5 predators this time. The guy took ages to exterminate the b*stards and destroy the evidence.

Yeah, you see a planet of Preds and only one comes to earth. Talk about having a pure "screw you audience" scene.
Well how classy can you expect a movie where two monsters fight each other be? I went and saw it for the laughs, much like Mike and Bots from Mystery Science Theater would have done. Yeah, one Predator against a sh*t-ton of aliens was redundant and a little boring if you ask me, but you have to expect bad acting...horrid acting...and very laughable logic. It's not meant to be anything other than a fun bloodbath that probably should have come out in the summer.
Any movie that shows newborns in the hospital nursery being stalked by the aliens and a woman whose fetus is invaded by an alien as she's giving birth kind of tops the list for stupid/poor taste decisions to me.

Why can't they take out the maternity ward? That was nearly the most original moment in the movie.
Alien vs Predator: Requiem (2007) - One of the worst movies I've ever seen!!!
It was horrible
Better acting in a Pornographic B-Movie
The plot was all over the place
The camerawork was shoddy
Every line was a cliche and every character a stereotype
The only good thing was that it showed the homeworld of the Predator but it was way too brief
Movies like this are hard to be objective about, 'cause the original movies upon which they're based were classics (well, that may be stretching it for Predator- but it WAS a damm fine action film)... comparatively, yes, they are crap, and I wish they would leave these once proud franchises alone, but if there is a dollar to be mined you know that Hollow-wood will go after it.
