outrageous!

Rating: 1/10 (28 November 2007)

I just saw the movie and I am... speechless, no - stunned! I can't believe how far has Hollywood consumerism gone!
I really am! :) I've been sitting if front of the keyboard for 10 minutes now, trying to synthesize my thoughts as to how exactly to put my indignation into words. I think that every one who is a true fan of the original Alien or Predator classics had prepared themselves for disappointment the moment they knew there would be AVP. I had! OK, the cheap, worn-out, easily-digestible plot developed as it should have - bunch of scientists (the cast was awful, thank God at least 'Bishop' was there :)), summoned to make the greatest discovery in human history. Oh, I almost forgot! Right off the start, when the guide was hanging down that rope at the Ice Falls and her mobile phone rang (and not only that - she picked it up and started talking while climbing up at the same time with her other hand)... that was ridiculous!
What I was not prepared to see though, was the scene in which the girl and the !predator! became buddies... That was outrageous! Not to mention the weapons he made for her! :D:D:D There were a few times that my jaw dropped quite literally! One of the most absurd moments was when he 'explained' to her that he was going to blast the eggs with his self-destruction mechanism. Or when they were flying out of the tunnel in that sled, or when the predator took off his mask and started making faces... You know, this is no way to see the PREDATOR, man! This is disgrace! I don't know who you are, but you can't do this to the predator! Shame on you, Paul Anderson!!!
I thought that I urgently need to confess to somebody how I felt after seeing this... crap. This is actually the first time I comment here at IMDb (athough I have registered a couple of years ago) but I just couldn't help myself! This was PREDATOR's scary movie, really!
cheers!
