Comical (Rating = 3)

Rating: 3/10 (16 August 2004)

Leave your brain at home, otherwise one will not enjoy this at all. One word sums it up -> Comical.....in 2 ways i) plays like a comicbook ii) acting and script actually unintendedly comical at times and script was very very cheesy.
Remember the 'clip' on the net -> "Face-off? That's about as best as it gets. The acting was wooden, except perhaps for the main dame, but even she could not get out of a cheesy, clichéd and bad script.
Unlike some of the Alien and Predator series of movies, this one did not strive to engender any feeling for the characters at all, to the point I was just watching one scene after another without being 'carried' or wanting to care what happens to the characters. The only actor to at least have some funny lines (and intended to be so ), was "out" already halfway thru the movie.
It was also a bad sign in the preview where you can hear laughter (from quite a few) during some embarrassingly cheesy scenes from about the 1 hr mark onwards into the movie..........I won't say what they are here.
Overall for me, it was 'interesting' given that it's the first A vs P film, but taking a step back, reflecting or even switching on your brain at any time during the movie........this is not a very good film at all. If Ultraman movies had this sort of resources and technology, it could probably have been a better job.
