As a change, I’ll try and make a new poll every week for this month so for this week, I’m asking you if the PG13 rating has changed your opinion of AvP. Sure, Fox will get their profit from teenagers but what about the absence of spine-ripping and chestbursting that made Alien and Predator what they are today.
The results of the last poll:
AvP – PG13 or R Rating?
PG13 – 810 votes
R – 3554 votes
Total Votes: 4364
Still, that’s a lot of people who voted PG13 – perhaps even worrying. Also, when the film’s released on August 13th, I’m hoping a few people will write a detailed review of the film – good or bad, I don’t mind and then send it into me at the usual address so I can post it on the website. The AvP Movie pages have all been updated and I added a new page for the Paul Anderson Q&A from the Xtreme Desktop.

Well as soon as it comes out i'm gonna give a review of the movie!! And no PG-13 has not changed my mind!!!
Hey guys. Looks like R wins. LOL. This is great. A new poll each week will be interesting. I still think we should rate the acting. This is an interesting poll to. I will be intertested in the turn out. I'll check out the new Q&A's
Good to see a new poll every week from now on, although I'm amazed at how many votes were for PG-13. Anybody who voted PG-13 aught to be ashamed of themselves and should be damned to hell for all eternity. If any of you chickensh*t bastards still have some guts, step up now and be prepared to be flamed by the Torch! BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!
What the hell is this guy talking about?
CAN I HELP CAN I HELP! kill those PG-13 lovers and those guys that say YEAH it will make alot of money if its pg-13! KILL THEM MACHINE KILL THEM ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
??? flamed by the torch eh? sounds like your a flaming queer..anywayz it should be an R rating I agree with you on that...PG-13 implies more of a kiddie theme to me..
Sure Sentinel you can help. Variable, I was talking about killing any son of a bitch who voted pg-13. Predator Chief, what I meant to say was that anybody who voted PG-13 should just die instead of saying "prepare to be flamed by the Torch". Damn, that was lame, wtf was I thinking?
I'll be going to the midnight showing of AvP Thursday night if my theater is doing that, so I'll be sure to get a review in that Friday. BTW, I voted PG-13, not because I wanted it to be, but because that's what I figured would end up happening.
lol that was a little strange thats why I said what i did. I dont know if I would kill them, but they should come forth and identify themselves if they think they are right.
I also voted pg13 but thats because I thought thats what it would turn out being, not because I wanted it to be pg13. commence killing me.
Alright, so for all of you who voted pg-13 because you thought it would turn out that way, you are relieved. But for those of you who voted pg-13 because you WANTED it to be pg-13,.... DEATH TO YOU!!!!
IM OVER THE PG13 RATING NOW IM STARTING TO GET HYPED EVEN THOUGH IVE GOT TO WAIT TILL SEPT 30
Well when I see the movie I' ll give a full review and maybe some comments from my dad to. He also is seeing it with me because he is the only one who would basicly go to the movies. Plus he likes the Predator not the Alien. I try to ask my one friend, but he is never around. I wish I can see it Friday, but knowing my luck I probably work what else is new. So the only day is Saturday and if I have to work late I'll see a night showing.
you know i believe that alien nowadays would be rated pg 13 but i know all of you have heard this i think avp is this way with human deaths, they're mostly off screen while alien and pred deaths are extremely visual with quite a lot of blood so im not really worried i am mostly worried about the time even though it may be short remember predator which was 103 minutes long, but that is no excuse, a movie like avp deserves at least 130+
lmfao "prepare to be flamed by the torch" lay off the meth, dude. i saw someone ask somewhere else if the movie will be exactly like the novel, and i dont think they were answered so i ask the same question... and to all those who voted pg-13....PREPARE TO NOT HAVE A CHANCE!! ahhh im such a douche
Hey Predgirl, have no fear SENTINEL wants to take you lol. That will be good. As for the time SHURIKEN, I wouldnt like a long 3 hour movie that drags on and on because that would upset alot of people and they would say it was to long. 2 hours would be good. Even with a PG-13 rating.
HI We don't have long until the Theatrical release of AVP. Can you guys please check out this link of the AVP PG+13 petition: http://www.petitiononline.com/nopg13/petition.html This is a petition to let Fox executives know how we feel about the 'PG+13' rating & how disrespectful it is to the Predator & alien franchise. We need all the help we can get. Note that this may not change the rating of the theatrical release, but it may influence for in releasing a gory 'R+18' DVD in the future.
They are pushing the PG13
I signed it already as Curly Bill.
why do ppl keep comparing the ratings????????????????? who cares wah wuz the rating of alien and aliens or predz i mean i even saw someone write that pred 1 would be pg13 on this date AAAHHHHHHHAAAA thats funny .....but i really wanna know why they cmaparin ratings to aliens adn AVP
Full eview eh?? alright ill try to do one with ALOT of spoilers !! eheh. Oh and TORCH, if ya want to send pplz to hell, plz tell me so that i can schedule my lunch time. Ya know too many ppl at once could get me a lil sick. ;) ?? what the hell Im I talkin about?? ??? Anyway, I voted R on the poll for the simple reason that this is how it should had been. But eh, Fox is all about money, they wanted to play it safe( cant blame them in a way, P2, A3, AR = LOL ) and they r surely up for a sequel. So, it will be cool to have 1 poll a week. And Torch remember not to send too many ppl at once in hell. ??? ;)
This rating used to bother me but now I realize that it will most likely be borderline R. Plus, IT IS *#@*ing AVP!!! Who cares, it will be good, it just has too. People worry too much.
Not a problem hell alien. ;)
As long as I aint on your hit list guys. I voted R because thats the way it should have been. So dont kill me cause I voted R. If you want to kill peopel rock on lol. quote]I can not speak for everyone but personally I am getting sick to my stomach of all your empty yellow talk. If you want to make a fight with these boys why not git it over with. Right Now. [/quote] Doc Holiday Wyatt Earp lol just thought I'd tightn up the mood.
Vote here guys: http://www.petitiononline.com/nopg13/petition.html This petition is getting sent to fox in 3 days!
Voted alreay. While ago. Im 47 marked Curly Bill. Bad news but the rating is already PG-13. Dont know if we can change the official rating but we can sure as hell try.
At least it is letting them know what we think. Unfortunatly we dont have much time to work with. This may not change the theatrical release but it may influence them in reviewing the rating of the DVD release.
can anyone tell me if there is a rating in the states between pg13 and R
also is R restricted to anyone under a certain age???
beeco there is no rating between R and PG-13 accept TV-14 and thats just TV's version of PG-13. R is restricted to anyone under 18. Hope this clears up your thoughts. Were are you from anyway.
thanx , from sydney
when ALIEN 4 was released here it was MA15+ which is restricted to 15 and older but must be with a parent or guardian. so i think avp will be M recommened for people over 15, just my 2 cents worth
im so pissed coz i gotta wait till sept 30th too see the movie coz i live in australia >:D
I voted for PG-13 since anyone with an Iota of common sense knows this film will be R Rated with a PG-13 Rating tacked on for obvious reasons non-comprehndible to most people here.. So what if it's PG-13?? So what??? It's merely a great marketing ploy from FOX to put more butts in the seats and who wouldn't want that??? I just saw another TV Spot for this and I just can't Believe how good looking it looks.. WOW!! 11 Days and counting!!
At least YOU have to wait till sept. WE'VE ALL HAVE TO WAIT TILL OCTOBER 22ND ( pain city,ouch)
october??? J o feel so sorry for ya! its hard enough waiting till sept!
Aliens would have been pg-13 today... think about that...
I applaud you on that flonge, well said buddy, well said. See guys, like I said before, a PG-13 rating in 2004 is the equivalent of an R in 1979 and 1986, so dont flip out. The only thing I really want confirmation of is AvP's length. I really expect this thing to be 2 hours, anything less than that is pushing it, cause if Paul is being honest when he says that we wont see the creatures until 45 min into the film, then there better be at least another hour and a half of edge of your seat monster bashing!
Yes, Paul did say that the Predators and Aliens will appear only like 45 minutes into the film, but according to the book, the predators and aliens appear in the very beginnig....
Hey guys, all of you who have seen the new TV spot with the running Queen, can ya'll enlighten me as to how her new look has turned out. Does she look even better than she did in Aliens? Also, I've heard from other posters here that there's another new TV spot out with brand new footage, according to them it has a kneeling Predator surrounded by two Aliens, another Predator staring then backing up, in fear? If this is true, what channel are you seeing these new TV spots on?
Wait a minute, so if Aliens was released today with NOTHING trimmed down you guys still think it would get a pg-13? Think again fellas. An R rating of 1986 is NOT equivalent to a pg-13 of 2004. Anyways, it's good to see some people are catching some new footage on the tv spots. I'll be sure to check it out whenever I can.
those guys who voted pg13 outta be taken from their homes and shot in the back of their head..... what we're they thinking..
If anyone notices I had to do something to my name because someone now is using my name. Whoever its is please stop. So no one will be confused with the imposter or whatever.
Well if you take out all of Bill Paxtons mother F****** lines and all the times he yells f**k this, it may very well have been PG-13 today. Im not saying I want it to be but when you look at the violence its not that bad compared to the other alien movies. Saw the new tv spot. It f**king great man. Only a few days boys.
f**k's just a name but it's all f**ked up... who cares about it anyway..damn censureship... do they actually think people don't know the word..you learn it when you're like ten..hypocrites..
Daishi Easy there buddy... in the end it's just a movie... I mean P.A. screwed it up with the PG-13 but it's just a movie...no one needs to be shot or slashed or nothing like that... by the way, how old r u?
I'm 17 dude.. I'm from netherlands..Nobody cares about ratings here anyway..It's given a rating and you just ignore it after that. Point being, what is it with americans and f**k and shit..They're just words, they don't mean crap. Everybody says it like 20 times a day, personally i think it adds to the realism.. Somewone saying wooptiedoodle when they'res a pred aiming his shoulder cannon at his face isn't exactly nice to watch... I miss Hudson and his M41
I think the real reason behind the PG13 deal is that we're gonna see a "light" version of preds and aliens, that means no Skull or backbone rippings no headbites and no humans skinned hanging from their feet...so...that sucks because our beloved monsters are all watered down to "Jurassic park" kind of "monsters.... I don't think it has that much to do with language... and if so, that's really lame...
ratings are lame..their sole purpose is to annoy us.. and if it really is waterd down to offscreen killing and screaming in the distance saying O wooptiedoodle..then by god, i shall burn down anderson's house and bomb those bastards at fox for killing an awsome concept..
PG-13=bad
I miss Hudson too. I would like to see R but I guess we will have to settle for PG-13
waiting for directors cut again i guess...
Guys, I'm afraid I have some disturbing news. You know how over at Yahoo it says that AvP is just 1 hr and 27 min, well now that same length has popped up over at Cinemark.com, I hope to God that this is not the running time, its way too damn short.
saying that Aliens would be a pg-13 now is pretty stupid!!! you know why BECAUSE ITS OUT WITH THE ALIEN QUADRILAGY BOX SET AND ALL OF THE MOVIES IS STILL RATED R (18 IN ENGLAND) >:D
if running time really is 1.27 , two options 1 they cut the shit out of it and you'l have to wait to see the full eyecandy[ dir. cut ] 2it really is as short as a stupid teenmovie and anderson has to go in hiding for the next millenia cause somebody will skin him alive
WHAT!!!!! 1H 27MIN!!!! THIS IS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER LOL
NO. It wont be 1 hour 27. minutes. It will be like 20 minutes longer. It has to be. Anderson wouldnt have sinked that low. Would he?
check out Cinemark.com dude
anderson so;d out on Resident Evil why not this? oh please god don't make this movie crap!!
http://www.empiremovies.com/movies/2004/alien_vs_predator.shtml Check out the TV Spot! It's cool!
Lol i hope that is not true, cuz that would be another nail in tha coffin. I dont care of 13, gore, the dialogs, but i do care of the running time. I dont want a 1.27 mins, its a bit short for a movie this caliber, just like JP3. Ah anyway i will c that movie so, let it be. If they made it short then fine, they will make more money on that dvd that will come out.
Yea JP3 let down alot of people including me. Lets hope this is not a repeate. Cool spot.
You know what, if this is really 1 hr 27 min do you have any idea the lack of action that will be in this!? 45 minutes in the words of Paul Anderson is devoted to just character development, not one Pred or Alien will be seen during this time. That leaves how much time for the title bout of the century? Quite frankly, not nearly enough. This is very harrowing indeed. What's really annoying me is how he hasn't answered a single question that the fans of truly wanted. Why the movie was rated so low, and what the freaking length is. He's hiding, that's what he's doing. He doesn't have the guts to fess up and say, yeah, I screwed up, the movie's way too short and the rating way too low, I only pray that Cameron, Scott, or Spielberg is on board to direct the sequel, granted that the AvP is a flop.
It can't be right. There's no way he cud fit in the entire story in 1 hr 27mins. Plus the book didn't even cover the flashback scenes. It's bollocks, probably the preview version. I heard from a cinema projectionist that the booking sheets for august has AVP down at 134 minutes.
ah dont believe cinemark, lol the movie is still rated R on that website ;)

why o why did they f**k up
134 mins , that aint to bad, i mean 2 hours and 14 min long flick is good for an alien or pred movie.Man aliens directors cut was like 145 mins so 134 isnt to to bad, but if they actualy made it an even 2 and a half hour film that would almost mike up for the pathetic rating.
time alone does not make a good movie..but short movies usually suck so... we'l just have to wait and see
paul anderson's films are known for having the thinnest characters ever and one of the alien/pred films great strengths is their great ensemble of characters. A 90 min film is not long enough for character development for a film of this scale. I know the humans are relegated to third party in this but i would at least like to register a flicker of emotion when one of them kops it. I know i will for lance, just cos of aliens. For me, a 134 min film cud have a good hour of build up and character development then 60 mins of action. Plus for the Lex/Scar thing to work properly you would need at least 20-25 mins of film time dedicated to it, a bit like arnie's solo duel with the original predator.
plus, if anderson has dreamed of this movie for ten years, why wud he only make it 90 mins long? It don't make sense, and no matter how strict fox are they wud never restrict it to that short amount of time.
So what if ts' PG-13 even tough i've voted rated R don't boycott AVP it's is sitll going to be a box office hit and when it comes out on dvd they will have an R rated version
your joking right HELLALIEN, its not 1:27 mins.....is it!
God I hope not. The least it should be is an hour 45 minutes. I am hoping for a R dirctors cut. Saw two spots in two hours. One was the one everyone has seen. The second was one with the sound of a heart beat in the background with alot of new clips.
If the cinemark has the rating wrong then the time is wrong to. Don't worry I don't believe those sties anyway. batman are you sure your right about the time you heard.
Predgirl aka Lavon look at the website again, it says PG-13.
Well sentinel, this is nothing official yet, but we have to be prepared just in case ya know. It would be great if it was 2 hours, but it could be 1:30 mins as well so... This wouldnt surprise me at all, with what fox has already done with this. Its all for money, shorter movie = more representation = more moneym = gettin to a sequel maybe. Its a kinda dumb move but its a dumb move that bring more cash in the vault for fox. Anyway nothing is official yet but i just hope that they will do it 2 hours.
hello all, i am back at last, i have missed this site but ive been extremely busy. the movie is in excess of 2 hours, having said that, the movie i saw didnt nurture a PG-13 rating and so i wait to see if they have truely butchered the film. i live in hope however that they havent... what is the other scandal can someone tell me as i have been away for quite some time. someone fill me in! lol ill be back lateron tonight... Forte Fortuna Adjuvat.....................-real pred
First of all its good to have you back Real Pred. I was gone for a while and missed a bunch to but hear it goes. Its PG-13. >:D Sadly. More competions all for the U.S which isnt realy fair. We cont more concept art and movie stills that look very good. The running time is still a mystery. 1:27 has been floating around but we all highly doubt that. Weaver talks more on AVP and (suprise suprise) she is in no rush to see it. If you were gone longer than thta you will have to get someone else to fill you in.
RATINGS, SMATING, BRING THIS MOTHER ON! ;D
LOL i think i got a good on hee guys AVH ALIEN VS HELLBOY HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA oh thats good
Ok to let every on know...pg 13 is just plan gay. you can name it any other way. It gets rid of the fun stuff that we like to see to let all the little retards that dont even know what an alien or predator is. ??? And then Paul has to get rid of all the fun stuff like blood and heads getting ripped off so no one at the REVIEW Post office will give a bad review. Well listen up....NO ONE GIVES A CRAP!!!!! People who have wated for so long want to watch the movie for what it was ment to be!!! SO in the end i think it has to be rated R to let the aliens and Predators fight to there full bloody capacity. ...the end Stay in the light......for demonds do waite for thouse who wonder.
