 A load of mindless fun from a film that doesn't pretend to be anything other than a sci-fi B movie August 19, 2008

The trouble with AVP2 is that it has now become the film everyone loves to hate and even if people dare to like it they're too ashamed to admit it. The root of some of these hysterical reviews is that the film somehow belittles the Alien franchise and therefore tarnishes the earlier masterpieces from Ridley Scott and James Cameron. But people who insist on comparing AVP2 with the Alien films are missing the point, the only thing this film has in common with the original alien films is the alien itself, apart from that the parallels end there, they really have nothing whatsoever in common with each other, even the timelines are completely different! br / br /So if you can jettison any emotional baggage concerning the original Alien films, you'll probably enjoy this throwaway sci-fi a lot more. If you still hate it, then fair enough, this film is most definitely not to everyone's taste. The plotline is very simple, the acting very basic, and a lot of the dialogue is painfully corny. But no one watches action films for accomplished acting performances, so why judge this so? And to be honest I've seen far worse acting than this in supposedly superior films. Some of the acting in Alien 4 was far from Oscar nomination. br / br /I think as long as a film's not boring, even if that means it's appealing in a "so bad it's good" kind of a way, then you have to judge it on its merits. This film never has any dull moments as the action is relentless throughout, and even though it's not particularly scary and is all fairly predictable, it has to be said the special effects are top notch and very professionally done. br / br /My advice to anyone watching this is to try and forget it has any connection with the original Alien films and treat it as a standalone sci-fi B movie. If you still hate it then that's fine, but if you like it, then don't be afraid to say so as there's far more boring films out there than this. For anyone who likes sci-fi and plenty of action, AVP2 is an enjoyable piece of mindless fun that should keep you entertained for an hour and a half.
A decent b movie (but the worst of the saga) August 18, 2008

If you see this movie indipendently by the others seven film (4 aliens, 2 predator and the first AVP) is a decent b movie, with fast action, "insolid bad guys" and a classic plot. If you think that this film is the final (??) act of two of the best SF saga in the last 20 years ...... you can only spend tears for the film's money ..... (the your and that of producers)
What do you expect?? August 10, 2008

This is an Alien Vs. Predator movie. Of course there is going to be a stupid plot, and it will obviously be slated by people because of that. But, to be honest, I found it quite entertaining. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. One thing I was worried about was that it was going to be too dark as everyone was banging about how hard it was to watch. But, it wasn't that dark. You could still see what was happening clearly. Also, the acting wasn't dire, but it wasn't amazing either. br /Overall, and ok movie which isn't as bad as people make it out to be.
