I thought the movie was awesome, didnt really care if it didnt have that thick of a storyline, I liked some of the characters actually, but some of the dialogue was a little meh. The action was just great and so was the gore and the Predator whooped major ass, and thats all I really wanted. I know that sounds shallow but o well.
Although like one guy said, I didnt like it when the hybrid just kicked the Predator instead of killing him, I guess he wanted to be somewhat honorable because he was afterall half a Predator. Lol, Idunno. But still Wolf could've just taken him out with the plasma caster.
I actually agree. I read all these reviews and they say this movie is like shit, and my step bro hates it because of the same reason: Not much of a storyline. But who cares?? It was entertaining, and thats all that mattered to me. Not every sci-fi film has to have an overly-intelligent plot.
you can make mind numbing action and still have style, acting and story. This movie had nothing other than two rubber suits. Hoping and expecting acting, style and story in a brain dead action movie does not make one a snob, but, simply, a film fan evolved.

This piece of garbage makes AVP 1 look like a master piece, Stupid movie.
Oh and thank god no body dared to say this film is even half as good as aliens.
Agreed, if AVP 3 is going to be written by that shane ****** and directed by the ****** strausse's. I'm not even going to bother to try to watch the movie.
If Pred 3, AVP3 or alien 5 is going to be made, let james cameron or ridley scott handle it, not incompetent fools like the strausse brothers.
If your a true fan of both series don't bother watching this piece of shit.
Unbelievably bad acting, horrible lines (People are dying! we need guns!).
The movie had stupid unlikable teenagers, hell the alien and predator franchise had adults which were likable, even the already bad AVP had this important element which contributes to a decent film.
A crap story, its set on earth which contradicts the alien films.
It lacked character development which is what made the first 2 alien films and the two predator films so great and climatic when the characters got killed off.
But ill admit it, the only thing worth watching in this movie is when the aliens and predators fight, i completely ignore everything else because it is so horrible, ESPECIALLY the characters where none of us could give a shit about or care for when they got killed off unlike the predator and alien franchise. Oh yes the predator was bad arse and at the least the predator homeworld was another thing worth watching.
Thats my opinion.
Lastly i don't see how AVPR garbage bridges the gap between AVP and the alien franchise by trying to introduce Yutani.
Predator : concrete jungle Bridged the gap between AVP and the alien trilogy far more competant than this garbage movie, that game actually showed how weyland industries and yutani merged to form weyland-yutani in the alien films and they even introduced Mother which is the voice of the system in the Nostromo in Alien

see what the inclusion of a predator having an alien skull in its trophy cabinet started....what a shame...what a terrible awful shame...to watch 2 great sci-fi baddies get horribly raped by shit directors out to make a buck
Well it doesn't make the first AVP look like a masterpiece. This one had waaayyy more action and that's pretty much all most people are asking for from this franchise.

It does honestly.
Your a 14 year old, how the hell can i take your opinion seriously? How does action ALONE make a good movie? How does action without a proper plot and story equate to a good movie? If action defines a great or good movie, then i guess star wars 3 >>>>>> 5 just because it had more action.
This movie had so many flaws, more so from a stupid setting and plot, hell and if your talking action alone, even AVP beats AVPR by a small margin, look at the fight between the grid alien and celtic, its better than most of the fight scenes in AVPR save for the predalien fight honestly.
And i hope it is not directed by the incompetant strausses.
I wouldn't blame the Strauses. Infact, if you look around, you'll see that most of the blame should go to Fox(Lower budget, hiring that hack Salerno), Salerno(Just about everything in this and the first movie) and John Davis(Actually pushed to have AVP-R set on Earth. The is guy is a D-U-M-B-A-S-S, dumbass).
The Strauses are new to the directing scene, so I wouldn't be surprised that their first directorial debut wasn't that great. I think most of it should got to the three ass holes listed above.
It should all just end with a Freddy vS Jason vS Ash vS Micheal Myers vS Alien vS Predator vS Terminator movie for all you fanboys and end the whole thing once and for all along with whatever genre it is. Just to get it outta your systems and be rid of the bs.
haha

Lol you attack someone and then you go and report him, you really amuse me.
Have you forgot under the law i have the right to express my opinions along with the fact that i back them up with FACTS?
Where was it stated i was "critic of the year"? Where did i say i was "critic of the year "?Or did you pull that out of your ass?
Reviewing a movie and disagreeing with another user means i'm proclaiming myself "critic of the year". I guess the very fact that you ATTACKED me for no reason pretty much labels you a lunatic whom should be outcasted from society..
OH WAIT! you ARE an outcast seeing the fact your demonstrating anti social behaviour attacking some one else without getting provoked in the first place!
And you must have reported me for "trolling", seems to me your a hypocrite , doing the same thing you reported for in the first place.
I'm sorry kid, if my head was still in my ass, i wouldn't be sitting here typing. Oh i forgot, your way too stupid to realise what the hell your even typing.
Under which law/rule did i break? Did i attack him? Was i trolling? Was i flaming? Or are you trying to coax me into doing one of those things so that the "report" will be credible?
Oh right stating facts and opinions in a way where i did not attack equates to breaking the rules. Wow what a fantastic way of putting things.
YOU attacked me first, YOUR are starting the feud between the both of us, if any of us should get warned or even banned, anybody with common sense would rightfully point their fingers at YOU.
So before you act like your the victim, just remember if you actually have a brain, just note that you attacked, THEN got attacked.

Hmm you do have a point, maybe i shouldn't diss out the strausses too much. But they seriously need to improve their directing skills if they want to be on the level of ridley scott or james cameron.
