This movie was a pile of dried up rat feces that was hit by a shovel and the spores have infested my lungs, infecting them with the cancerous sting of hatred. But the graphics were amazing. With the tagline "Whoever wins...we lose: you'd expect an amazing fight between the two species for global domination. Wrong. WRONG! Instead it's a story about Alexa Woods (Sanaa Lathan) trying to survive in an Aztec pyramid and becoming friends with her "enemies enemy". I don't give two poops about the humans of this film. I wanted to see some bloody action and I didn't get it: granted the death toll was amazing - 10 guys in like, 2 minutes. Amazing. But the aliens didn't really appear until three-quarters through the film. They had a couple pansy fights and the movie was over. Also, no suspense. I didn't feel my blood curdle once - all the situations were overly predictable. I know I can speak for myself and those in the theatre with me - this stinker of a movie got a standing "boo"vation. I give this monkey anus of a movie 3/10
CAST: Sanaa Lathan, Raoul Bova, Lance Henriksen, Ewen Bremmer, Colin Salmon, Tommy Flanagan, Joseph Rye Directed by: Paul W.S. Anderson Written by: Paul W.S. Anderson |

I'd give it a 6/10. I went in thinking it was gonna be way worse. But it was cool, just seeing predators on screen again. No it doesn't live up to the originals but I knew that going in with the PG13 rating. Paul Anderson knows how to shoot a movie and I thought the film looked good. Sure the script sucked and was way to far fetched and the acting was sub par. Some scenes made me giddy, but there were times when I would pretend I didn't hear or see certain things. I know some people will really dig this film, it's definately worth seeing if your a fan of Resident Evil, Freddy vs. Jason.

I haven't seen it yet but I wasn't expecting it to be Oscar material, especially when Lance Henriksen is the only actor anyone's heard of in the movie.

Okay I am pretty sure that I have never heard anyone write or say a review using those words...
