Review of Aliens vs Predator: Requiem (2007) by Jimmyass187 — 27 Nov 2020

Ever since I was a kid a have been a HUGE fan of both franchises, and like everyone else like me when the first AVP came out I was Shocked, mostly by how FOX managed to ruin 2 of my favorite franchises in one crappy movie. it was a short, written full of holes and with a PG-13 rating it was but but a poor shadow of both original concepts.

That was my first thought when I heard about AVP2 but guess what... Although this film has got all the markings of another teen horror flick (a hunky cop dude, a slutty blond teen, a bully-beaten boyfriend etc..), and no Real HERO character, what it does have is a fairly Cool setting for the PRED to do what he does Best. Starting out exactly when the First AVP left of (like I knew he would) this movie follows the account of The PREDALIEns crash in the ship after killing all the hunters on board, of course the Hunters wont miss such an opportunity for Sport and a new hunter flys in to "Clean up" the mess... in other words the PRED is finally back in business after the poor performance by the relatively Sissy hunters in AVP who managed to get killed from the start. This movie is well paced and is Very "R" rated (theres even a skinned corpse and much more:) though it seems that like in many series the producers pour more ketchup on walls instead of cinematic sophistication. technically I think the action could have been smoothed out a bit without resorting to RapVideo style filming and editing but it is still mosly inYOface hack & slash, with NEW PRED weapons and A PREDALIEn hybrid got me clappin my hands from joy a number of times... The sound work was better than expected with audio sampled from the original PREDATOR movies and the ALAN SILVESTRI soundtrack...
