Alien vs Predator.....Requiem..... WTF?
That was my reaction after seeing the movie!
After the dissapointment the first AvP was, I swore I'm over with all the Preds and Aliens forever. I accidentaly found out about about the sequel while browsing on Youtube and stumbled across the famous 5 minutes trailer. From the scenes on it, the movie looked promising. Untill I downloaded it!
It has so may nags and holes I don't know what to start with!
The first minutes were fine, until the little shitburster shot out from Scar's body and the next second Hell broke lose in the Predaship. Which turned out to be a sort of school bus for young Blooded and Unblood Hunters. Where are the Predator warriors from the end of AvP? The Pred elder? There was at least 30 of them around the ship. Cuz all I saw were 2-3 predator morons who couldn't even shoot straight with a neuro-glided plasma caster. And dude, how moron do you have to be to shot blind in the reactor (or whatever was) room. Yep, that's why the ship crushed.
Then the alien. It grew up from chest-burtser to full adult in no time. Didn't they need time and food for that? Maybe he (ooops she, it was a queen, da bitch) eat the Pred Elder and ther rest of the crew.
A plus for this movie is that it gave us a glimpse of a pred city. They have buildings, and docking bay and the room where the hunter stood resembles vaguely like an appartment. That shows they are definitely NOT a nomadic species as fandom portrayted them. Their society might be even more similar with ours than we thought.
The characters were another kick-out. I won't even go to the human side of the movie who was totaly made out of anonymous, second-hand actors who played awful. Except maybe for the military lady. (And we have the equivalent of Ripley).
The aliens were nicely done. We got more glimpse with them, it's not that we haven't seen them before. Predaqueen was the best character from all the movie. It was a point where I could swear she has a higher IQ than the preddie hunter. That dude acted like he was retared or something. Even common aliens outsmarted him. One thing was clear, he was not out for hunting, but rather cleaning off the mess.
The fight scene was good, but not enough to redeem the movie. But exactly when I starting to enjoy it they ened it in the most lamest way possible. Dropping a bomb on everything.
Overall the movie had enough gore, guts and chep thrill to score like a horror.

Hello Amy, remember me. If so tell me because I can't remember me.
I have seen AVP Requiem and it was proably as cack as the first one which was cack.
As for your question about what happened to the Predators at the end of the first film.....maybe they went on holiday or something.

It was a lot more cacker, Met. As for the preds, the only destination they could have, was that Predalien's stomach!

I think you will be alright, as you should have millions of Galactor Goons to make the Preds happy.

You know that the good guys always wins, so the Preds just may give up and go after Galactor instead.

So Predators were the baddies, huh? Then again, Met, Galactor are weak and coward. They don't make a fine prey! The Eagle on the other hand....

NOT ALL the humans were bad, in fact the minority of humans killed in Predator 2 were either good guys or innocent civillians were trying to protect themselves.
So there

"Not the goons and captains. Besides didn't Berg and Ego die at the end of the first and third Gatchaman?"
Scratches head.
