14 years of waiting and here it is

Rating: 5/10 (28 August 2004)

look if you enjoy movies like resident evil, freddy vs jason, 8 legged freaks etc etc, then this movie is for you. i personally wanted to see really awesome fight scenes and some real continuity to the predator and alien movies. when you have a movie so fantasy based you can use your imagination to make excuses for poor writing, in this movie, you cannot. someone earlier made a great example by saying the predators were in training, but if all predators go through such a training then there obviously wouldn't be very many predators left. 2 die immediately, thats a joke. you CANT argue it was way too fast for them to die.
things about the "bomb" being used off the arm and such is besides the point. the location, and story could have worked MINUS the pairing of the woman and predator and horrible final chase scene. she had unbelievable abilities and strength.
i can also agree that this film was rushed. no real build up of suspense or any scenes that show how amazing either species is other than maybe the fighting sequences which are no different than terminator 2 or 3.
i love fun action movies like from dusk till dawn but that movie has character development. the premise is absolutely unbelievable and steps all over itself but its fun to watch, the atmosphere and characters mold with the movie. here its just out of place. the characters all have different attitudes about them, they're not really on the same page. the predators don't hold true to their lineage and the aliens are the only constant except for the gestation and whatnot. the action isn't even that good. please don't tell me it is because its not. i was never on the edge of my seat except until i anticipated the final credits. look if you want to see two creatures thrown against walls and chase scenes the watch the terminator movies and jurassic park. the only reason to see this movie is to see aliens and predators on the same screen after 14 years of waiting.
