The stupidest thing in the movie is that they said we worshiped them like they were Gods... wtf? The fight scenes were good, but it was overkill. Everyone died to quick. The stupidest part is when the predator puts the mark on the girls face. It's acid, for God's sake, nobody would wince, they'd scream! Wolf, you love the movie? It was the biggest letdown of the year. It had far too many mistakes. The alien bursting out of the girl's chest at the start was all too fast, humans worshiping predators like gods, when the girl kills the alien, ACID BLOOD, HELLO, when you stab something in the stomash it bleeds. WHERE'S THE BLOOD? Need I say more? OK...first....there has been a huge theory for years that civilizations like the Egyptians, Aztecs, Incans, and Mayans were all created by an alien race.....so this part is not very far fetched from actual scientific theories which have been prevalent for decades. Second....considering the alien queen has been captured....and they use these things specifically to hunt....it is not impossible these could be bred to be quick hatchers.....after all they would not want to wait around forever for these things to hatch and grow up so they could kill them. Thirdly....there was blood when she stabbed the alien.......it just didnt spurt out.....if i was to stab you through the chest then chances are I wouldnt encounter spurting blood either unless I hit your heart or something....I thought it was very realistic looking. I didn't think any of these things were flaws in the movie....I thought they just went along with the new story perfectly...

It was a great movie, up intil she became friends with the predator. That ruined the whole thing. Ok, she was no sport, and she did help the predator. But come on, the least that could have happened is the predator just leaves her. And everyone dying ruined it too.
Overall, it was an oke movie, but a real letdown. It wasn't what I was expecting.

^ Oliver, don't have expectations then. You know what I found funny? The Preds in the ship were watching events unfold like it was a new reality tv show or something... errr but hey it fits right?. Heh, and are yall SURE the remaining Pred and Woods only had "respect" for each other? Personally, I saw sparks... *shakes head once she realizes what she just said, and runs at warp 12*

Eyes, since the Aliens movies rock, and the Predator movies rock, you can't not expect them put together to rock twice as hard.

The Predators left the woman at the end as she was not thier prey. She had the mark of the warrior, therefore she was respected by them. They are not like the aliens, who kill everything in sight, they only kill for a game, kil for the hunt. People fish for the sport of it, and not every fish people catch is kept and cleaned, some fish get thrown back into the water.
I also don't think the other Predators watching from secrecy betrays thier characters either, as if you remember in Predator 2, they watch from within thier cloak as DAnny Glover killed one of thier own, then they presented him with that gun, and left. I imagine when a Predator goes on a hunt, it's him vs his prey with no help from his species, as that's the name of the game.
So I think AVP did a good job at keeping true to both the alines vs the predators, except for the quick gestation time of the aliens in thier hosts. That was way to long with those first two people.

Yeah, Predators only kill if you're a sport to them. P2 was shoddy I reckoned. Number 1 was best with Arnie. If AVP didn't have anything to live up to, it might have been acceptional. But it disgraced the A and P movies.

I just think it depends on how you look at it. I knew it would not have been as good as the Predator films, or the first 2 Aliens films. Hell, Aliens is in the finals of our movie tournament, tied up with the Matrix, so that says how good Aliens is.

Alien will win anyday! Matrix is great, but it's only good the first time. Plus no. 2 and 3 let the whole thing down. Alien just rocks!

I respectfully disagree, I personally I think Matrix is better then Aliens. I can watch Matrix over and over again, and still like it. Part 2 & 3 were awesome. Yeah sure they over did some of the fight scene but I still believe it was so complex it out beats Aliens! Aliens is a good series too, but I can't watch it over and over again. Plus 3 & 4 SUCKED and was really wasn't necessary. I mean how many different situation can you put the characters in, to beat the aliens before it gets boring or maybe should I say ..... similar? I don’t know, I guess I might be a tad bit partial because they do have a hottie in Matrix, but I still feel it's out beats Aliens.....

Ok, it's been released down under and I think it went well. My only fault was trying to fit too much into such a short movie ... it could have gone half again as long. Go see it on the big screen as this sort of movie will not transfer well to a tv.

I like that picture. I always liked the aliens when they were hunched over and runng and walking on all fours then standing straight up like a man.
