Just viewed the trailer and, despite my misgivings about the whole idea behind these movies, I'm intrigued. Some lovely R-rated action in there. That said if AVP had been more violent it would still have sucked the sweat off of a dead man's balls. Still, here's hoping.

If it's truly an R, color me interested.

AvP is one of my guilty pleasures. And the trailer for No 2 looks kick arse. Very very high hopes for this.

Well it was crap. Predictable teen angst ridden protagonists and Aliens just do not belong in the same film. In case there was any doubt after the first debacle then this confirms that both franchises are now effectively dead.

There are no way the AvP movies could ever live up to the Dark Horse comics from the 90s. But then again you are less limited when doing a comic I guess. You can put just about anything you want on a comic page. Plus the story was so much better, there were only a few small similarities between the comic and the movies.

When the Dark Horse Aliens comic first came out I loved the first six episodes with the Dennis Beauvais artwork, it was fantastic. Sadly the guy who took it up afterwards was bloody awful and it all went downhill from there. I don't generally have too much of a problem with the Aliens v Predator concept as it is precisely ALIENS v Predator and Aliens is the one movie that does not sit right for me in the original series anyway. That series being 1-3, Alien Resurrection felt like a cheesy spin off itself. The single biggest problem with these movies for me is that they're set on Earth and generally they totally ignore what made the original franchise movies great and instead bang you over the head with dumb homage saying 'Look... we saw the originals... but we're morons!!!' |

The AvP movies totally ignored the original Alien movies. Made Ripley seem kind of pointless. I was really dissapointed in Lance Henrikson for being in the first one.

I haven't even seen the first one yet. It just seemed like a bad idea to me. Now I WAS kind of interested in the sequel, but maybe I will just continue to avoid.  |

Both films are lackluster efforts. AVP 2 ramped up the gore,but the scenes were so darkly lit as if they were filmed in grape juice!
