Dear Diary

        One
of the biggest disappointments in movie monster match up history you
would think that they would learn from the mistakes of the previous
incarnation. The sequel falls into many of the same traps, the plot
line was completely forced, the dialog was so bad that the film might
be better on mute, and the action was contrived and far from the heart
pounding brilliance of each monsters original films. The best part of
AVP-Requiem is in fact the trailer, which as you go through the movie
end up realizing that almost every single death and every really cool
shot in the movie was already shown in the trailer which leaves little
to be revealed and little to be excited about. I gave the movie an
extra star for letting see the extra hot female in the almost nude. the
movie played out like a color-by-number sci-fi monster fest which also
played into the fact that nothing was a surprise when it happened,
because you’d seen it a thousand times before. the main failing with
both these movies is that the creators thought that setting the films
in our time would make us be interested in the story more as if it may
one day happen to us. but what drew people in when they released the
arcade game back in the day was that it kinda took place within an over
the top futuristic version of the ALIEN trilogy time line which allowed
more of a suspension of disbelief. this is where the future movies need
to draw inspiration from. because to be honest, seeing a waitress
killed by the ALIEN we all have feared since childhood just really
doesn’t do it for us. lets take the series back to its roots. learn
from the former masters and don’t mess with a winning formula by trying
to make a ‘bold new vision’ we liked the originals for a reason, we
want to see that again. Lastly, the ending is the real WTF moment of
the whole film, *SPOILER* after the big climax, the survivors are
ambushed by Special-Ops soldiers who justify their horrific actions by
saying ‘we were following orders’ and then turn on a dime and start
acting all nice and are turned into saviors. then after the long pull
back with one of the survivors looking ominously into the heavens, we
cut to the most bizarre cliffhanger I’ve ever seen, with characters you
never saw in the rest of the movie (Save the Government Dude) then with
all the subtlety of a punch to the face they reveal that there will be
yet another film with the hint of a plot line that would make a sci-fi
channel original movie blush and turn up its nose.

        The
following are probably just a few of many plot holes that stick out
like dogs balls in AVP2 the death of Alien vs Predator.FOX suck for
allowing this p.o.s. to get made.

1. why would a race as
advanced as predators, and a race that has fought the Aliens on many
occasions not check its dead or injured after going to battle with
aliens to see if they have been face hugged? (major plot hole)

2.
The Predator ship is flying past earth when the predalien burst from
the predators chest. Then its is fully grown killing Predators and the
ship is still flying past earth, so in a mater of 10seconds its fully
grown and killing.(major plot hole)

3. Predators would not use shoulder cannons inside their ships for the obvious reason the film shows.(major plot hole)

4. Predators wouldn’t wear their masks inside their ship, its not earths atmosphere.(minor plot hole)

5.
The Predator space craft is seen bursting out of the sky and flying
over the hunter and his kid, then continues over a mountain range
(hiting it) then continues some more and crashes. The guy and his kid
make it to the ship straight away as if it crashed only a few hundred
meters(feet) from them.(major plot hole)

6. It is established in
predator lore that if ever the predators are defeated by the aliens or
become over run and the aliens have become too many like an outbreak,
they use there wrist bomb and destroy the whole area. they don’t send
out a distress call to ONE predator.(major plot hole)

7. The one
predator once arriving sets off the wrist bomb on the dead predator and
calmly walks away and the ship is seen exploding directly behind him.
As established in predator and AVP1 the explosion is similar to a small
atom bomb, not limited to just a small one.(major plot hole)

8.
The predator that has arrived to stop the alien out break and destroy
the evidence doesn’t seem concerned about killing humans and skinning
them and leaving them around as evidence. (Major plot hole)

9.
The Predalien is just a drone as established in the games and comics,
it is not a queen or king and can’t lay eggs.(major plot hole)

10. At the end of the film the military who acquired the predator gun would not then give it to a corporation.(minor plot hole)

11.
How does the military know just from black and white footage that they
are seeing an organism that spreads like a virus and that it is
spreading threw out the town. (major plot hole)

12. the Script. (major plot hole) the script and acting in this film are so incredibly bad, worse than the first AVP1.

Think
of this, some of the people who have been associated with the two
franchises. Ridley Scott, James Cameron, John McTiernan, David Fincher,
Sigourney Weaver, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Ian Holm, Bill Paxton, Michael
Biehn, and many more great actors, directors and screen writers. Then
think of what AVP and AVPR have done by introducing bad actors, bad
story, bad plot, bad action and bad direction. They have left the
concept of AVP in taters. RIP Alien vs Predator.

        So, in
summation, if you have to choose between this movie and doing any other
activity on the face of the Earth, skip the movie and do the other
thing instead. The best said about this movie is the trailer… Ah~ A
cheap way to buy in movie-goers.. =P
Here.. Take A look…
Owh, In Asia, it’s AVP2.. In US, it’s AVPR..
And yea rite, rated R..
