Needed to be longer, but was still entertaining

Rating: 9/10 (16 August 2004)

This had the potential to be a really good movie...I think the cast was well selected, the effects, costumes, puppets etc. were excellent, even the storyline and ideas were awesome, but the film simply wasn't long enough for any of the characters to be developed. 2/3 predators killed almost instantly??? jeez...that first battle (which was freakin awesome by the way) i think should've been won by the predator and then sometime after he could've been killed by two or more aliens. The main predator's victory over his first alien was cool but a little too quick for me, and i thought the human-predator alliance was a little too sudden...i think they should've went their separate ways at first and then met up again later...but again, there just wasn't enough time for any of these ideas. The movie desperately needed another 30 minutes at least to do what needed to be done. Hell, i would've had 5 predators, at least one more battle like that first face off, and maybe a battle with two predators against several aliens. Did the queen at the end of the movie remind anyone a little too much of a dinosaur from jurassic park?
