Wow!

Rating: 10/10 (15 August 2004)

Almost didn't go see this because of the punks whining about the length and the rating. I'm a huge fan of the other movies and like them all for different reasons. Most of the time, the more I anticipate a movie the more it lets me down, unrealistic, stupid, bad physics, bad effects etc... So it was with trepidation that I finally did see it.
Length ... plenty long, would love to have seen more, maybe a directors cut but sometimes extra footage doesn't improve a movie rather it slows the pace. Loved the pace of this movie.
PG-13... I would prefer a R-rating if it benefits a movie but I don't think this would be improved by an R. I'm not a big fan of F*#k this, and F*#k that so I can do without the F word. It's not that it bothers me it's just that most of the time its unnecessary. Most of the violence was creature to creature otherwise the violence would likely have made it R. The violence towards humans was well done at the PG-13 rating and IMO wouldn't benefit from being more gratuitous. There was plenty of that for the A's and P's
Some people were complaining about the P's not being tough enough which I think is bung. I thought that dynamic was perfect. A's are tough to kill and deadly which is why they use them as the "rite of passage". Only the toughest P's survive. Love it. Also, I loved the fact that the three P's were different (other than just looks) in their fighting styles. One big and brutish, another smarter and stealthier, and one just plain alien fodder.
Only negative would be the small amount of cheese involved between our two main characters towards the end. (Don't want to give spoiler) Loved the ending. Sequel sequel sequel.
