I've been waiting for this movie. I was all excited to see it....Then I saw that it got a PG-13 rating. Hold the phone nelly!! WTF!!

These two characters have NEVER EVER had PG-13 movie. But since it's coming out in summer might as well screw up the movie and slap a kiddy rating on it. *Sigh* I was looking forward to some good alien cut em up action and violence. Heck I expect no less.

Well I'll still see it but I'm disappointed that they needed to clean it up because it's summertime. I'm wondering if I'll get to even see any classic chest bursting or skull crunching alien mayhem. Somehow I doubt it but we'll see.

Even the PC game AVP has a Mature rating but the movie will allow 13 year olds. Sheesh!

Okay that's the end of my rant! I still love the characters...I hope they make another one after this one but ahhh can we make it in space and maybe slap an R on it!

Anyone else looking forward to this movie?

I'll see it anyway. If you're into blood be sure to see SAW. I'm not sure when it starts.

I saw AVP. And I must say that I did enjoy it. While I didn't care for all the cutaway shots and the lack of blood. It was entertaining on one level I do hope that it makes enough money that they do another one. But this time with an R rating. I'm sure they'll release a DVD Director's cut version with the gore. (Thank goodness)

I'd tell you who "won" but that would spoil everything.

I will say that the stars of the film certainly are NOT the humans (who frankly are basically breeding fodder) the fights are nice but not really that long (considering it's only about an 1 and 20 mins long) The movie gives you enough Pred and Alien for your dollars worth. And it also leaves the door open for more. (Yippie)

As for who won, I'll just say this: Don't bet on a winner 'til you see the final scene.

I agree with what Mssilhouette said, definitely not long enough in the fight scenes and it's unfortunate that the film is slated PG-13. Hopefully there will be a directors cut released on DVD - however that may depend heavily on ticket sales and distributor.

I am content with the film, acting was decent and not as horrid as Anderson's last 2 films (Resident Evil & Event Horizon) which I think was heavily due to a poor script, and though he is a hack artist (pulls heavily from films like Tarantino but not as well and/or elements ie. Matrix special effects) he accomplished this film without going hoaky (sp?).

Some of the questions I have would contend as spoilers, so I think I'll wait til after the films outta the theaters to post those - though the ending may tell some of the things floating through my little brain I'm compelled to ponder the what ifs of science fiction film.

I've got a suggestion for any AVP fan. If you get a chance pick up the PC Game AVP. (there's AVP 1 and AVP 2..pick up 1) It should be very cheap because it's an old game. You can play as Marine, Alien or Predator.

I found this game to be a bit more thrilling than the movie. Mostly because I got to play as one of the primary characters. If you can make it through the game playing as a MARINE without jumping once...you've got ice in your veins.

I think that aspects was missing from the movie, the thrilling creepy factor and the blood. But I'll hope for the director's cut.

Since it made a nice amount at the box office, there might be another one.

I rented this tonight and I thought it was much better than advertised. Unfortunately, I didn't realize there were two versions of the movie on the disc, and I ended up watching the theatrical version instead of the extended one. I'll watch the extended one tomorrow or over the weekend. I recommend rental to anyone who is a fan of action/sci-fi.
