And (the Queen Alien) romping around like a T.Rex was just too much.

I don't understand this: how was she "romping around like a T Rex"? How did she look like a T Rex except it reminded you of the Tyranosaurus in JP (I assume)? What did you want her to do, float?

With all due respect, I've heard this complaint elsewhere and it seems unfair to me, as if any stick is good enough to beat this film with.

That is, of course, if any "Alien" fans would acknowledge the most recent trainwreck as canon.

I'm one "Alien" fan that doesn't acknowledge the trainwreck that is Alien 3 as "canon".

I seem to recall the Alien Queen running the same way at the climax of Aliens as she does in AvP. I'll have to check.

If true, that's seven years before JP. So I guess we'll have to say that the TREX was romping around like the Alien Queen.

Ok, finally saw this tonight with the family, since it was my wifes birthday, she wanted to see the P.O.S. Anaconda movie but luckily for us it did not show until 2 hours later, we bought tickets to Manchurian candidate but went into AVP cause it started 30 minutes earlier. Overall, it was not too bad, everyone seemed to like it ok. out of

I wonder, if Bishop Weyland was in AVP then who was the Human Bishop that appeared in Alien 3?

I don't think he was human, I think he was a more advanced prototype to convince Ripley,he'll save her.

I saw this movie with the free ticket from the "Predator" SE. I thoroughly enjoyed it. My favorite line was when the female lead, realizing that she and her companion are lost in the pyramid and that many of her companions are dead or dying, says something like:

I think we're going to have to deal with the possibility that we may not make it out of here alive

I had to hold my mouth shut, I'm sure some of the (10) other people in the theater heard me laughing. I thought that was a punchline, here's a lead in a monster movie acknopwledging that they may be doomed. So funny.

The only Anderson movie I've seen before this is "Event Horizon" which I also thoroughly enjoy.

IMO this movie was far better than Alien3 or Alien Resurrection IMO.

I was hoping to see the queen at least try to swin to the surface, the Aliens are very good swimmers.

Wasn't FmW what the satellite guys were watching in the beginning?

I've read elsewhere that it was. Quite appropriate.

I believe that the queen knew that the chestburster in the Predator was already viable so she didn't mind killing it. The only thing I question is why did the predators start killing people off above ground, wouldn't they want to round them up to host Aliens for the "real" hunt?

And as for the so called "honorable" nature of the predators, I don't buy it. They pick off creatures much less powerful then them who can not really defend themselves for fun. See the first movie. They are intergalactic a-holes.

The "honor" thing might have come out of the comic books. I don't know as I haven't read them myself. If the info were based on the Predator movies alone, then you are absolutely correct. After all, they ARE called "predators" not "sportsman."

EDIT: This is of course from the POV of victims. I'm sure among predators (alien and domestic) they consider themselves something else entirely.

Finally got aroung seeing it. I can't imagine that anyone posting on these forums wouldn't come up with a better script in a heartbeat. The storyline is so incredibly ridiculous that it was distracting from the little action there was. Totally absurd. If anyone comes across this revived thread -- revived hopefully for a very short period of time -- don't let your friends convince you otherwise. Catch this pile of cinematic disaster on TV when it gets broadcasted, not a day earlier, if ever.

[Matt Leigh]

Predator honor was shown in the films. A Predator would not attack an unarmed foe in the first film.

I think it was Predator 2 that had the female lead being pregnant and the Predator wouldn't kill her though he had the oppurtunity. More babies, more sport for later I guess.

The creatures are not depicted as uncaring poachers.

[Cameron Yee]

Good point, but despite having a rule about not attacking someone who is unarmed, the scales are so tipped in the Predators' favor - armed or otherwise - that "honor" doesn't really mean anything.

[Doug Miller]

It's funny, I remembered Predator 2 being beyond horrible when I saw it the first time. BUT, after reading about everyone talking about it I went out and bought it for $10 to give it another try. Surprise, surprise -- I liked it! The directing and a few character pieces reminded me of Robocop. Overall,

I've always liked "Predator 2", don't know what people have against it? The first one is better but the second is by no means "a bad movie"...

I wish they would make a 2 disc "Special Edition" of this movie like we recently got for the first.
