The good and the bad about this movie < AVP > (Spoiler)

Rating: Null/10 (18 August 2004)

I am going to start off with the good. This movie is good for those people who just enjoy going to movies. It is not for the big fans of either franchise. The fight scenes were awesome. I give an A for them because they were not 100% CGI or 100% animatronics it was a good mix and you could not really tell when they switched from one to another. Weapons were nice I wish they had more new ones. Very good use of the Alien's tail in this movie. You never really see them use their tail in the other ones as well as they used it in this movie.
Okay now for the bad. As I said before if you are a fan you will not like it. One reason is there are so many things you can nic pic about this movie they all add up to a big pile of crap. As a fan of both films I will start with Predator one of my favorite all time films. Both movies Predator hunted in hot weather. Why would they even go to the coldest part of our world to hunt for their man hood? Another is the human did not wear proper close down there in the Artic every part of their body "like their face" should have been covered up. you could not see hardly anyone's breath. Coldest part of the world and no cold breath coming out. 2 out of 3 Predators die within 2 mins of fighting...they had advance weapons, they hunt aliens all over the galaxy for fun but they die within 2 mins and their manhood training or test however you want to look at it. It just seems like they made him out to be a wimp. They only had one new weapon they needed a lot more to bring out what made predator so cool like in the other 2.
Now the Alien, I think he did pretty well on them. I just wish there were more tunnels and stuff to make you jump out of your seat like the first 2 Alien films. As an Alien fan I did have one problem and that was with the chest busters or baby Alien however you know them as. They grew up faster then in any other movie. And to nic pic it even more they came out of the humans real fast but when the Predator had one it took a lot longer. Not only that in Alien 3 they did not attack a human if they had a alien in them. But this can be debate able. The Queen attacked him and put her tail threw him near his chest too. So really the Alien inside should have died. But that is more of an opion I guess.
One of my biggest problem with this film is that it is PG-13. All the other films in both franchise were R. No gore, no blood, no scary scenes to make you piss your pants. And fans of either will be really pissed off about that at least I was. And also 1 hour 27 min running time!! What the hell come on The Lion King is longer then that with a run time 1 hour 29 min. and it is a cartoon.
I just wish they would have listen to the fans more on this film and got more input from people who love both films. I think he "Paul Anderson" brought these 2 universes together in a bad way but did well with the fight scenes. The problem is there was not enough fighting between Aliens and Predators. Maybe 10 min of fighting out of 1 hour and 27 min at the most.
I am not going to bash Paul Anderson but I will not say he did a great job either. I think he did what he could do with the budget Fox gave him. Also he should have had more time editing the film I think that is why the film was so short someone from fox made a lot of changes to the film and not enough time to get it out.
Please add what you found wrong with the film but also please type what you liked about it too. Even if it was a 2 second scene.
