AVP2 - no spoilers.

Sorry to bump the thread, but I don't want to start a new one.

I'm watching this movie right now, and honestly, all I can say is that this is fucking terrible.

Seriously, the title should be One Tree Hill: Oh yeah, and some shit from space.

The movie focuses on exhausted, cliche subplots and barely focuses on the Aliens or Predator. "I wish that popular girl would like me, too bad she has a dick boyfriend." Seriously, Weird Science delivered this plot better.

Most of the scenes of the aliens are the same. "Oh my, is that alien going to sneak up on that person and bite their head? Oh No! The alien did sneak up on that person and bite their head!"

More than half of the Predator scenes are just him looking at the ground for fucking alien tracks, or playing with his wrist thing.

What the fuck was the Predator doing anyways? Wasn't he sent to exterminate the alien outbreak? Then why the hell did he take the time to kill and skin the search party guy? Isn't time a factor? And where is his code of honor? Predators don't kill unarmed human beings in the first place...
Smaller Predator details bothered me as well. Why did he engage his camo in the water (rendering it useless), then turn it off when he got out of the water (where it would have worked)?

And the fight scenes are worthless since it is necessary to watch the film with a fucking Predator mask because the scenes are extremely dark.

I don't know, over all the movie is bland and uninspired. The fact that it deviates so much from past Predator fiction turns me off. It's like making a batman movie but having batman being a wimpy, dimwitted fat guy playing Bruce Wayne.
It doesn't have the paranoid charm of the original Predator, or the horrified chaotic feeling of Alien. The whole time I had a cringing feeling in my stomach, and kept asking myself, "Did Uwe Boll ghost write the script?"

Being a true fan of the Predator franchise, I give this movie a 2/10.

Yes, I thought it was pretty dire too, although less dire than AVP1, but that's not saying much. I'd rather play AVP2 on the PC to be honest!

Hell yeah. I reinstalled it again 2 weeks ago. Is an AVP3 even being considered?

Yeah, I watched this movie. I didn't expect it to be a good movie, but it was a lot worse than I thought. I love the Aliens series - I've seen all the movies. And I love the Predator movies, but I really don't like the AVP movies. AVP1 totally sucked, but I actually thought it was better than AVP2 (if you can believe it).

I just rented it, I haven't had the time to watch it yet because of school work. I've only heard bad things about this movie. But being a massive predator fan I have to see it for myself I guess. I'll post again after I watch the movie.
