QuoteNames don't make a memorable character. And the names aren't why I remember the characters in alien or aliens so don't say if you can't remember their name they weren't memorable

Once again you miss the point.  If the characters actually had substance you would remember their name ergo they would be a memorable character.  It's quite simple. 

No I didn't. I said I didn't remember all of the names of the characters in Alien or Aliens and it didn't make me forget them and it isn't the benchmark of whether someone is memorable or not.

Well here is my short little review of things i liked and dis liked.

I really didn't mind the story but the acting was so bad its almost as if they were taking turns to exchange ther arguments. There was no body acting, for example i think Dallas's line "People are dying! We need guns" line could have worked out but he was just standing there so stif and un-convincing!

Molly barely cried after she saw her Dad ripped to shreds. There were some action and other sequences i think could have been re-placed with something else. Like the bum's im the sewer being attacked and also the stoner guys in the sporting good store.

The fight between The Wolf and Chet should have been a bit more intence and a bit more longer but i was fine with what we had. I loved Carrie's restruant scene when her and the chief are attacked. The multi-bursters were :S i liked them but didnt like them at the same time.

I think Sam (BUddy's Son) was the worst actor out of al them. I really hated that kid, he messed up his burster scene with his horrible acting!

There were only 3 characters which i actually cared for. Ricky,Jesse, and the red headed lady who goes with the shierff to the supossed pick up point. It was a very easly predicted and when it wasnt it was random.

The SFX were awosme i loved the ending but maybe put more of a convo between the general and Yutani. I hated the acting at the end when the heli crashed by all the cahracters, even the soilders. I also hated the lighting in that scene!

I think the only reason i liked this movie is cause i love aliens and predator and also because of some of the money shots which i already knew were coming :)! I would say Colin and Greg did there best for us fans! For a first movie to be directed by the two i would say it wasnt that bad for first timers.

Overall i give ALiens vs Predator: Requiem - 3/5

QuoteBig deal, after i'd seen aliens twice I could remember Hicks, Ripley, Hudson and Newt. And alien  Lambert, Ripley, Dallas.

I don't think I would remember ANY names if I didn't read these forums, but fair enough. Which doesn't change the fact they were cardboard cutouts with no personality whatsoever (well, Dallas had a bit more substance, but it doesn't make any difference in the end).

Yeah, for all we know, Yutani might get the survivors MIA (as in 'killed')... That would save that ridiculously bogus epilogue... So, they nuke the entire town to contain the infestation of a creature they had never seen before, but leave witnesses to tell the tail...? I would like to hear the explanation for the nuking afterwards since, unlike Resident Evil - Apocalypse, there is no nuclear power plant meltdown to be the cover story... That power plant was, unlike what Morales said, NOT a nuclear power plant, as you can easily see from the 'power plant' wide shot...

:D ;)

Just came back and i have to say i enjoyed it, the acting was no where near as bad as some ppl have been making out, my fav bit at the moment is the dieing Alien getting shot at wile its crawling on the floor, there should have been more than one predator but ill get over that, oh what a nice ass ;)(not the predator either) and iim surprissed how wolf wasnt the owner that fans also made him out to be, Im also glad i didnt watch all the net clips, over all ill give it 6.8/10.

Saw it again. What's up with the Strauses and Jesse's ass? Her ass gets as much screentime as a whole new character.

Her ass when Ricky parks in front of her house (she bends over).
Her ass when she takes out her clothes.
Her ass when she is PUTTING HER SKIRT BACK ON (this one lasts as long as the longest time any of the aliens seen on screen).

I was like dammit stop focusing on the ass.

edit: Can someone clarify me what exactly does Wolf do on the crashed ship when he takes the liquid from the facehugger's tube and plugs it into his computer?

There is a funny story about that second ass shot. It wasn't ever designed to be in the film, but we had an editing problem because Jesse didn't put her clothes on at the same time in each take. This caused a big continuity issue, so we had to stay with the ass shot for a long time to fix the issue. I was really worried about it at first, but now I find it funny.

He injects it into the wrist computer.  It analyses the fluid and selects or creates a vision mode specfically designed to track the facehugger.
