This movie was an insult to movies and to Hollywood. Imagine the loudness of Miramax's and New Line Cinema's laughter when they see what kind of crap their competition (Fox) are producing. They f**ked their reputation out the window with this one. Another thing I cant stand is that the film-makers always talked about homages. If you make a sequel well enough in keeping with the spirit of the originals, you shouldnt have to have 'homages' or 'throwbacks', the material should be complimentary of things without having to use exact same character names or exact same lines of dialogue (Get to the Chopper). Thats not to say I didnt like elements of the film (very few). The predator was great. Really captured the character. I am predominantly a Predator fan but the Aliens were just cannon fodder and were no match for the Predator. Im not bitter, im just a big fan who would like to see an epic AVP film.
