better to vieuw at home July 30, 2008
at first i saugh this film in the movies and i hated it ,to dark and all
the bad reviews as in all other ones you can read here ,but when i baught
the dvd and rewatched it,it was a totally different and much better experience ,the special edition comes much more vieuwable (certainly in the dark passages,town black out,sewer , swim pool etc ) the film does not
come over as in the theatre as a kids film ,but as an equal good as expected for alien and predator fans film
personally i find the final battle between the mutant and predator somewhat to short and sometimes confusing ,this fight should be corrected
in a future director's cut

Hi-budget rubbish July 28, 2008
I had slightly higher expectations for AVP2, than the first AVP movie (which was almost fair according to my standards), after having talked about this one with an acquaintance.

However, I'm very disappointed. This piece of garbage makes the first one look like one of "those classics" you remember fondly. If 20th Century Fox wanted to utterly soil the reputation of the Alien and Predator movies, which shone in their own ways, THIS is the way to do it.

I could proceed to write a lengthy and in-depth review of this .... thing, but there is no need to, because on further consideration, there IS no depth to this. Want the plot explained, fast and hard? Here goes: "Teenage slasher movie with sci-fi monsters thrown in", oh and American military for good measure. That's it - all you need to know. Really.

Go ahead and vote me down for writing an unhelpful review (if you do so, also be so kind to obligate yourself to actually go and buying this pathetic excuse for a movie, and watch it - *all* of it. Then let it dawn on you that you just wasted your money and 90 proverbial minutes of your life you won't get back. THEN, you can come and write a review here, sharing your anguish and loathing.)

Is there a reason for watching this movie, at all? Yes, actually there is. Or, rather, three.

1) A cute blond chick.
2) A genuinely disgusting scene in the maternity ward of the hospital, which makes my minds eye spring back to the first time i saw Alien on TV.
3) Yet another example of how low the american movie industry will sink for a quick buck, even if they have to bloodlet their grandparents in the process.

Points 1 and 2 each earn the move 1/2 a star.

NO! July 28, 2008
Have you seen Alien, Aliens and Predator? If so this will look familiar. Bits from these movies and a few bits from some of the lesser sequels are strung together to make an action flick, which whilst having the same creatures lacks any originality. So we get a recreation of 'Newt' from Aliens a Ripley like strong female character and all manor of other rip-offs from the other films in both series. In my view Alien vs Predator (2004) was a decent attempt to keep a franchise alive. Not brilliant but certainly worth watching. This isn't worth watching.

If you haven't seen the original films, or your have only seen Alien vs Predator you will have no understanding of my criticisms. If so go back to the beginning and watch 'Alien' (1979) alone in the dark for one of the scariest horror/Sci-fi films ever made. Then watch 'Aliens' (1986) to see the best war movie in space ever made. Finally watch 'Predator' (1987), which is not in the same class as Alien/Aliens but is still a high class action/Sci-fi movie.

When you have done that you should then watch 'Requiem' and all will be revealed (tripe).

poor effort dont buy wait until 20p in the charity shop if you want it July 23, 2008
A few good scene ideas do not make a good movie, the producers should have stepped in and got a rewrite other than a few good set pieces ie the hospitol sequence this is dire, it is too dark so you cant see anything,there is no pace, no atmosphere a lot of borrowed homeage to past movies inc the sound effect.
This is like a scrap book of ideas turned in to a movie, considering the subject material this should be good but alas it isint, the effects are handled well but again shot too dark there is no plot or characters that stand out all human characters are as shallow and underdeveloped as possible.

As the review title suggests wait until it is in the local charity shop and get it for pence as it is not worth more, and thats if your a collector!!!!

Aliens Vs Predator - Requien 2 - Def Worth a Look July 3, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful

This film is being trampled on by quite a few. Firstly, the film is spot on for its darkness. Of course its a dark film and certainly is not the darkest.
Secondly, its equal if not better than the 1st AvP film. Since when have any of the Aliens or Predator films had a real story line? Come on!!

The effects are brilliant, the sound effects are just fine. There's fabulous suspense. Yes, there is no bars held on who is attacked, which is right, contraversial, but right..

Overall, I think its a good film.
