As long as it isn't as bad as Alien 3! I thought Alien 4 was only very slightly better. But to be completely clear, they were both total and utter crap.

Only an idiot would be watching this movie for the story. The only thing that this movie is good for is the senseless violence...DUH!

1) Who's "Andersson"? If you mean Paul Anderson, apparently you're forgetting his directing of Mortal Kombat, which, while not nearly worthy of winning an Oscar, actually turned out to be OK.

2) Yeah, you're right, "Alien 4" was horrible, hence it never existed Alien RESURRECTION, on the other hand...(you know what I mean)

On a personal note, I think this movie is LONG overdue! I've been waiting for this since, oh, around '97 or '98, not long after Alien Resurrection came out.

Who cares if it doesn't have a real story? You can't ALWAYS see the "good" stuff...you gotta relax and watch a few brainless things once in a while.

To get myself in the mood, I'm gonna play all of the game versions for the next year

Rez has the same idea as me, It's like Freddy vs. Jason, going into that movie expecting a story along the lines of The Shawshank Redemption is idiotic. The story was pretty good for FVJ, granted, I loved the flick. But Aliens Vs Predator was set up in like 1992 when Predator 2 came out. And the story is easily possible, no matter what it is, because, hell, aliens have space ships, oogidy boogidy-n-****. I just hope he doesn't try to do something so amazing as Shindler's List in a movie based off a game which was based off 2 movies, etc.,etc...

Like the caption for the movie says, "No matter who wins, we lose"

Now all that's left to do is Robocop vs. The Terminator, but unless Peter Weller comes back to play Robocop (hell, Bobby Englund came back to play Freddy!), I won't even consider seeing it.

Everyone understood perfectly what I was saying, but I guess nitpick is in your nature. And please say that you do not consider Alien Resurrection to be a good movie.

Yes ANDERSON did direct Mortal Kombat, but it wasn't by any means a great movie. Pretty entertaining tough. But he is also famous of Resident Evil, and that movies was a total disapointment. I was going to say this movie will probably ruin both franchices, but in Part of Alien saga, that has already been done.

I think the movie could have entertainent value as a splatter, but I have heard rumors that they are going to target the teen masses, and make it PG13. If that happens pretty much all hope is lost.

But this is how the industry works. They want to produce movies for the mass market, movies that sell. Both Ridley Scott and James Cameron have showed intrest to do another alien movie, but I the excutives think Alien as a horror movie wouldn't sell as much.

But who knows, the movie shouldn't be judged yet since it hasn't even been filmed. It could be a positive suprsise, who knows.

that is my friends uncle (Peter Weller) the guy who played robo cop in the first and second movie.

Karpo, I don't think you need to worry about a PG-13 rating. Movie producers intentionally add swearing, violence, and nudity into movies to get an R rating. Hollywood aims not for teenagers, but for 18 and up.
If they have a Alien Vs. Predator movie, rest assured its going to be violent and full of F-bombs.

I hope so, but thats what I heard. They did the same thing with Resident Evil, and they do it because the lower the rating, the more viewers you get. I really hope you are right.

I just need to see the Predators in action again. The last flick I saw with them was Batman: Dead End.

The least you could do is quote me...

And yes, nitpicking is my nature...would you rather have me be like a vast majority of the population and have little to no analytical skills whatsoever?

Your problem is you're too harsh a critic...as I said in a previous post, you can't always stick to the "good" things, you need a break once in a while. Hell, some of worst movies in terms of literary quality are actually A-movies IN GENERAL on my lists...no matter who tells you what, you're not exactly a well-rounded person if you only go the "quality" movies/films.

Just look at myself...I'll watch anything ranging from The Pianist to Not Another Teen Movie, because that's how open my taste is.

BTW, I just happen to find a bit of irony in saying you think this movie will suck when in fact you praise movies (such as Return of the Living Dead) that make this and Mortal Kombat seem A-List.

Just my ramble for the day, g'night.

I don't know where you get all that from. I praise the Living dead trilogy, wich is considered top of Zombie/Horror movies worldwide. I have never said anything about The parodies "Return of the living Dead".

And I do watch pretty much every action/comedy/horror movie that comes to theaters, as it's my hobby. I have seen every movie that I've said is bad. IF you would have read my post completely, you would have notcied this:

I'm not judging AvsP yet, just speculating. I have seen promising subjects to turn bad movies so many times before, I hope this won't be the case with AvsP.
