Predators first nail in it's coffin and Aliens final nail in it's coffin

Rating: 6/10 (30 June 2005)

Alien Vs. Predator is not a bad film. But on the other hand it is not a good film either. The director Paul W.S. Anderson has not only violated one monster series, he's violated two! Alien has had it's shares of bad sequels with Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection and Predator hasn't had a bad film yet though Part 2 was a notch down from Part 1. Anderson has worked up the series for them to collide and fight and this film brings the action, sort of. The whole idea of a land under the ice somewhere was a good idea, the ice being so thick that the land is under under ground about a few hundred miles. Then the whole idea of having a crew of 100 more people go find the land, bad! Anderson kills off eighty percent of the cast in the first half hour! The predators kills a whole platoon and alien eggs hatch, catching another platoon which is pretty stupid because in the original Alien it's quite a while for the alien to pop out of Kanes chest. But when our platoon wakes up the alien burst right out for welcome, stupid! And that brings the whole idea later for an alien hatching itself into the predator, what a joke! We have origins of the predators which ruin the characters and the question of how the Queen Alien was chained up for a long decade. Then here comes the Predator and Alien fighting, bad action sequence. Not one bit of good fighting techniques. Aliens head is slashed off, Predators die from Alien acid blood and blah. And Anderson, you were stupid to have the Predator work alongside a human. Anderson you are sure one heck of an idiot. The cast is bad, horrible acting. Boy, Anderson you have killed. Now Aliens have crossed over because of this head to head sequel but Predator is still alive. AVP gets the big 6, not good but not bad either. It's worth at least a rental, though some fans might be disappointed.
