Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem

I checked out this movie last night and was not impressed. As a die hard Predator fan I was looking for more action and new weapons. I thought the ending was weak. Anyone else see it yet? Whats your take?

BEST... MOVIE... EVER!

Cheap, I am a huge Predator fan too, and I loved it. Probably just difference of opinion here, but this is easily the most outlandishly violent motion picture made since the old Rambo movies. I was happy about the ending only because it means sequel and I hope in the next one they wipe out an entire short bus full of special ed students because that was about the only thing they didn't kill in this one. I loved the back to basics approach, and I like how they are setting up a legit series.

The plot is pretty nonexistent, but after the last piece of **** they made, I didn't want plot or substance, I wanted death and destruction. I felt I received!

I saw this movie, and almost started a thread. I was excited about this movie and felt a little bit let down. I think it is better than the first, and it was very close to being a good movie...but it wasnt as good as I thought.
I'd grade this movie about a C. I think there should have been more action/violence between the two. I also did not like the ending...AT ALL!!!

I'd grade this movie about a C. I'll still see the 3rd installment, if there is one.
Hopefully there is more action/violence between the two (Predator & Alien).

Yeah, I don't mean to spoil the movie (so don't read the rest of this post if you haven't seen it)...








How could anyone have asked for more violence and gore? They took out an entire maternity ward for ****'s sake!

And the reveiwers are WRONG ... this movie has ALL the Plot it needs.

Why ?
1) IF you are familier with The Texas Rangers of our wild west, they had a saying: "One fight, one Ranger".
2) Appearently Predator is one capable, bad-ass mofo!

Just came home from seeing Alien vs. Predator - Reqiuem.

The movie was alright. I expected it to be much more violent than the first given that it was rated R unlike the first AVP movie.

I finally saw this on bootleg. It was ok but I wasn't overly impressed.
