30 more minutes would have made a good movie.

Rating: 6/10 (13 August 2004)

If this movie had been 30 minutes longer, with more fighting between the Pred's and Aliens (with the predator's holding their own ALLOT better then they do in the movie) it would have been a really good film.
For whatever reason they decided to make a movie that had nothing to do with the books. Then make The Predators, the greatest hunters in the universe, into lame wimps. Sure, this was a "rites of passage" hunt for unproven Preds, but they have hunted these things for eons so the slightly more then 2 to 1 odds don't seem overly great to me. Maybe the people that make these movies should read the books first, that way they have a clue before they start.
Oh, before i go, this is just one of many mistakes but in one scene the Predator uses his wrist blades on an Alien only to have them melt from the Acidic blood of the Alien, but the Spears they use are just fine after being thrust through an Alien, don't they know about the acid blood and make the weapons out of the same metal?? Who's was your person in charge of continuity and i hope you didn't pay them much....
