Most people haven't a clue (spoilers)

Rating: Null/10 (25 August 2004)

I'm tired of all the bashing here. Yes there were some flaws in the film.. I would agree that the aliens were gestating too quickly and that the films overall running time needed to be longer, but hey it was entertaining and obviously opens up the gates to a whole new set of movies starring our fave E.T.'s. And to say the Predators seemed dumb and inexperienced(as 2 of the 3 were killed early) is redundant... HELLO! they are supposed to be teenage Predators on the hunt for their adulthood rites.. they aren't supposed to be lethal, ultra skilled hunting machines like the previous hunters in Predators 1 and 2. They are trying to prove themselves as worthy hunters, I don't see too many new human hunters being ultra skilled or confident in their training when hunting for the first few times in real life, Why would this be different for Predators? This adds the element of frailty & drama and proves that the predators aren't invincible and have a human quality to them as we saw when the one predator spared the life of Charles Weyland until he so ignorantly tried to flambe' him. I appreciated the comedic moments of this film as it broke the monotony of most horror/action/sci-fi flicks that have a whole film of tension,gore and screaming. I liked the look and feel of this film as well. I also enjoyed the flashback scene that explains the history of Predators on earth. This movie was entertaining, period. It was worth the money to see it. I would have to say I am eagerly awaiting the inevitable sequel.. hopefully they will make it to the predator home world??? Will we see the tremendous battle that everyone for some reason expected to be in this film? I mean c'mon what's larger? AVP on earth?(Antarctica nonetheless) or AVP on Predator's home turf? This was merely the introduction film to the series.. a springboard if you will. Remember this line... "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." so expect humans in the sequel. here's a response to a quote of an earlier post. "I've seen all the Predator and Alien movies and have also read some of the comics that were titled Alien versus Predator. I feel short changed by the total lack of character development. In the previous movies and in the comics you were able to get attached to the characters a little, who they were, what type of personality they had (everyone remembers Newt from Aliens), so when they got yoked it sort of meant something. You never get a chance to care, like or dislike about these people getting killed".This was a direct quote from johntd5551 Hillsborough, New Jersey. Well let me tell you that you're not supposed to care about them! They are disposable.. the only [human] you should care about is Lex! considering she is the main human character. Overall I would give this film *** stars out of 5. In closing I would like to say to all the whiners and complainers who didn't think this movie lived up to "THEIR" expectations to go make a better movie themselves if they think they can.
