Not content with screwing up one franchise, Hollywood it seems has found a way to kill off two in one go. I wasn’t expecting much from an Anderson film, especially after films like Mortal Kombat, Soldier and Resident evil, though after seeing the trailer I thought he’d at least have tried to make a film this time instead of a computer game.
Most of the reviews from the US are panning it, with only a few giving praise calling it a fun “popcorn Flick”, which is a nice way to say “you’ve wasted your money paying full cinema ticket price for a film that should only be used as renting fodder”.
It’s a PG-13 too, why? I don’t understand why Hollywood tries to turn movies made for an adult audience into crappy watered down PG-13 tripeness that negate the point of watching them in the first place. Surely the only reason anyone would want to watch a film called “Alien Vs Predator“ is to see some excessive violence.
Oh well, one potentially good film ruined, I’d have loved to have seen what James Cameron could of done with this film having been linked to it early in development. I’ll probably rent it in a few months, and wait for what could be an even more disastrous Resident Evil sequel, in the mean time [URL]http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/alien_vs_predator/[/URL] it gives you a fair impression of what critics in America think of the movie.

I think i shall go and see it just out of curiosity.
Aliens vs Godzilla
AWESOME!!
AWESOME!!
People have to ruin things don't they?
choose any series you like - the matrix trilogy, star wars, aliens/predator, robocop.
It's a sad fact that all these great films series' have to eventually bite the big one, but it almost hurts how they usually end - in almost complete farce.
After reading a large amount of those reviews (something I wouldn't normally do for fear of spoiling the plot), I am pretty sure I'd rather not see this film at all. It'll just ruin my memory of these two great film legends.
I can't bring myself to think about the idea of a predator becoming friends with a human, and the plot just sounds nothing short of terrible.
What a shame - let's hope this horrible torturous demise is the last of the series' we have to suffer. I'll stick to my old DVD collection thank you very much.

Absolutely hated Alien: Resurrection, killing Ripley off in Alien 3 was just about time to leave it there. Looking forward to an Alien film on Earth though hopefully they won't be screwed up like AvP.
The Alien series is a excellent set of films minus Alien4, but Predator is just sh!te, Predator with Arnie was O.K but the one with Danny Glover was painfully crap, plus in AvP I can't see the 'Aliens' winning Predators have alsorts of gadgets and strenght to kick ass. I was looking forward to it, was trying to avoid reviews of it because its bound to be slated but i'll end up renting it next year.

Alien 5 plot - After three disappointment of Alien Vs Predator, the aliens invade Paul w. s. Andersons house to tear him a new assehole. He's later saved by a big gay predator who spends his days collecting daffodils, skipping through fields while holding hands with his gay human friends.
Freddy vs Jason vs Ash vs Alien vs Predator vs Godzilla spin off coming soon!

Please don't make any more Alien films.
I just got set on buying the Alien Quadrilogy, I don't want to have to get a whole new box set later on.
If they do, it better be really good.

The cast has not yet been revealed for the movie, so Danny Glover could be in it, the only person who is certain to be in the movie, both 5 + 6 is Sigourney Weaver
BUT FOR GOD SAKE IS DANNY GLOVER IN IT?!?!?!?!?!
Just forgot to add that we'll have to wait till 2006 until the new alien is released.. WOW thats ages, wont Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith be out before then
I just hope that Alien 5 + 6 are not gonna be crap.. sound like a good story, this is some information that i got about Alien 5 & 6.
Zap2it reports on what the plot for the fifth and sixth Alien will be:
Weaver has said, "I'm not interested in returning back to Earth," yet sources say that much of the fifth film takes place when Earth is attacked.
Number five is set on Earth, with the planet under attack from alien warrior drop ships, which made their debut in the original "Alien" movie. In the process they make Earth look like an incubator while attacking, leaving alien eggs around the humans.
That's when Ripley realizes her dreams have played a role in what's happening and she evacuates and confines herself to a cell, but inevitably she will meet her nemesis face to face again.
Number six takes place on the home turf of the navigator of the ship. Aliens are taking over other plants and Ripley finds herself forced to turn to the dark side in order to save civilization.
