Aliens vs. Predator… to be perfectly honest, I went to this movie expecting purely eye candy. I got that and more. The characters didn’t have a whole lot of development… but then again… do you develop the character of a cow to the slaughter. Everything moved fast paced. And before you knew what exactly was happening most the humans were dead. They kinda pussified the first 2 predators to make the 3rd seem fucking awesome. I didn’t compare this much to the comics, because I didn’t expect them to follow the comics at ALL, considering how unknown the comics are to most people in the world. I was surprised that they included as much as they did. These are the things that were comic related that they did not include. Predator metal is not affected by alien blood. Predator’s blood is an extreme base that almost neutralizes the alien’s acidity. These are the things comic related that they DID include. The predators blood themselves after killing a “hard-meat” though I think to be blooded you have to kill a queen in the comics. The predators acknowledge another race as a hunter if they kill a hard-meat, and will blood that hunter.

Over all, it was predictable in places, the humans died fast, and it was a pretty good damn movie.

About my only problem with the visual effects is that the main predator had a bit of a chin that I couldn’t get past, his mouth seemed to high on his face because of it. But I chalk that up individuality and that it isn’t how they are making them look now. And I loved the last predator… he wore a cloak… and he looked awesome.

oh, and lastly... you don't say "you're one ugly motha fucker" to an alien... that was just WRONG... I felt dirty after that.

I've been waiting 8 or 9 years for this movie. Yes i read the comics. ^^' Could be even longer. As for the Main pred your talking about, it could be an Elder Pred.(i haven't seen the movie yet...but i know he's in there)

I knew the humans where going to get destroyed, scifi.com had interviews with some of the actors/actress's and they mentioned there deaths and stuff. fuckers.

I'm hoping to be able to see this movie whiles it's still in theaters. Looks awsome.

just getting back from it.

it was good, and like Will says it was fast.

but i think im gonna actually count the fast part as a fualt. I wanted more.
but they did leave themselvs an option at the end so, if sombody picks it up i'll be satisfied.

i havent read the comics at all. (just seen some covers)
can sombody tell me how this leads to AvPvMarines? or are the games set up that way just a pure fantasy thing.

I've read 2 of the 3 aliens vs predator books that I know exist, and with the 2 I've read, it's always aliens vs predators vs humans

the marines bit comes from the damn company...

they breed the aliens as potential weapons, and they experiment with captured queens and shit, like the preds... but for other purposes. these experiments usualy lead to marines vs aliens... but the thing is... every once in a while, a predator gets caught up in it for some reason or another

like the AvP FPS, the predator is there to free his captured comrade... whom that company experimetns on... and eventually you fight a predator-alien hybrid... let me just say... that's a fucking bitch to kill... I imagine the only things about as hard to kill for the marines (easy pickings for the pred) is the Xenobots... which is aliens meet borg... they get cybornized.

and that's how you get an aliens vs marines vs predators
