Good (for the most part)

Rating: 10/10 (13 August 2004)

*SPOILER ALERT*
I was very pleased with the movie up to the part where Lex 'teams' up with the last surviving Predator. Done right, the teaming up could have been very well done, but they screwed it up pretty royally. What I didn't like was how the Predator cut up the remains of one of the dead Aliens making its spike into a spear for Lex and its head into a shield which I thought was pretty corny and retarded. The other problem I had with the teaming up was when the Predator and Lex were shown running side by side. This is bullsh*t. Realistically the Predator would have been needing to carry Lex or drag her in order for her to keep up with him. Aside from this again the movie went smoothly and without a problem (for me anyway) up until the part where Lex and the Predator are on the mountain together after escaping the pyramid and the screenshots make it out like they are going to kiss or something. That could and SHOULD have been done completely different. It's like the director/storywriter had his story set up to work well (and it could have) and then either goofed it up or half/assed it or both in these certain areas that I complain about.
Other than these complaints, the Predators and the Aliens were done very well, and all of the actors did a good job being serious. There could have been more storyline. I think the movie should have been another 30 minutes with additional suspense and lead-in with character development but for 1 hour and 40 minutes it wasn't as bad as it could've been.
For $7 I'm not upset that I saw it in the theatre, and I'll probably pick it up, but I gave it a 7/10 on IMDb where I gave Predator and Predator 2 a 10/10 as both of those movies were master pieces in my opinion.
