 - As bad as AVP was, it still had its moments. But AVPR is almost a complete fiasco.I never thought I'd say this but I really, really hope that they NEVER make another AVP movie again. The people in this movie (like AVP) are just there to fill in the time. They can't act. They are annoying. I wanted them all to die. In the movie a kid gets face-hugged and I thought it was freaking hillarious! The alien and predator fighting is hard to discern. It is dark. The people who made this movie wanted you to use your imagination a lot. That, or they didn't want to spend more money making some actual decent action sequences. Another thing that ticks me off about this movie is a lot of their lines come directly from the earlier predator/alien movies. I'm sure they would call it paying homage to these films but I think the more likely reason is they couldn't come up with good original dialogue so they decided to steal it. Rather than buying it, do a youtube search for this video's best moments. The condensed youtube clips are better than the whole movie. Rating: - No redeeming value, an abuse of the First AmendmentAnother example of how sicko, hack movie makers have ruined the horror genre. Like the Saw and Hostel movies, this one is a celebration of torture and human suffering, and it goes way, way, way over the line by depicting children, even a baby, being mutilated alive. It was bad enough seeing a young child watch his father die, then be slaughtered himself early in the movie. But after the scene where a mother in labor and her baby are horribly tortured and killed, I actually removed this DVD from my player and smashed it against a brick wall. No kidding. I didn't watch the rest of the movie because it was in pieces on my floor. As for the "brothers" who made this movie, I suggest they spend a night in an emergency room, or perhaps spend a month embedded with a unit in Iraq or Afghanistan, and see if they still take the suffering of innocents so lightly. Art is art, and I've seen plenty of depictions of children in jeopardy or in pain that were handled appropriately (The Pledge, Law & Order:SVU episodes). I enjoyed Alien, Aliens and Alien:Resurrection immensely. This movie, though, I would argue crossed the line into obscenity. And to make matters even worse, it's not even interesting or well made. To paraphrase Roger Ebert, if you have a friend who likes this movie, dump 'em and find a new friend. Rating:  - Alien Vs Predator RequiemThis one is better than the first though the story is lacking in substance and the characters are bland. However I have to say the seeing the Aliens and Predators are a big selling point for me. On Blu Ray i find them much more interesting. Check it out for yourself and decide.Aliens vs. Predator - Requiem (Extreme Unrated Set) [Blu-ray] Rating: - Drawing the lineI draw the line with pregnat(sp) in labor being injected with an alien baby. I stopped the movie right after that. I'm a mother and I went through labor twice. Sorry I'm drawing the line with that. I will not watch that movie again. Luckly I got it OnDemand so I don't have to have the DVD to worry about. I'll be sticking with the first Alien vs Predator from now on. Rating: - Awful... useless... one of the worst movies ever!I could not believe it. This os simply one of the worst movies ever. IT's cheap, sickening, useless. IT does not serve even as mindless fun. evn if your turn off your brain, your senses will alert you how the intentions of the producers are fake, from the absurd lack of lightning (where you can't see the fights), to fast editing, through horrible "acting" and obnoxious directing (by two guys!) It's onet of the worst movies ever, where producers thought: "This is trash, but some people will enjoy it". It's the worst that Hollywwod can offer. Yes, I'm a sucker, because I've watched it. I did not even rent it, or downloaded it, I BOUGHT the DVD! (because, believe it or not, I thought the fist movies, although completely unecessary and forgettable twenty minutes after leaving the theater, an enjoyable one).
