Yeah, the first time I saw AVP2, I hated it as well and I was caught in surprise to see so many fans state it was better than AVP ??? After re-watching it a couple of times I've grown to appreciate it a little bit more :) I mostly watch the Extended Cut of the movie. It is much better in my opinion ;D But I still am surprised to see the amount of people who like it better than AVP. I guess everybody has their own personal opinions. :-\

AvP was bloody boring. I can watch the first hour of it, then turn it off.

AVP2 was even more bloody boring. there's nothing to see, the film is so bloody dark! >:( I can watch the opening first five minutes of the film, then turn it off.

No way, AvP:R was entertaining and fun. At least stuff happened, as opposed to AvP which was basically just people running around in the dark.

Hardly surprising you switch it off.  Most of the vaguely interesting stuff happens after that.

That's like watching porn and stopping just as everyone is getting naked.

People just running around in the dark? No way, that's the case with AVP2, the characters in AVP did more than just run around in the dark. At least they made sensible choices and faced the fact that there was a possibility that they weren't going to make it out.

I have to say i didn't liked AVP very much, but AVPR was much worser.
The pure Predator and Alien Films are the best.

After the hour mark, which is when I'm pretty sure the Grid vs. Celtic fight happens, we get the f**king team up and I can't stand it.

Wow, I gotta say thats a surprise for me. The original AVP comic book, the one that was so hugely successfull that started this franchise , had a predator teaming up with a girl. Thats what AVP fans (the ones ive met or bumped itno over the years) expected most of the movie, to be so close to this beloved comic book. I was there when it came out and I was one of those countless fans around the world that were thrilled with it (the original comic book). Seeing how close AVP follows it with same vibe and taking so many elements and plot points from it, Im extremely happy with how AVP turned out. It was exactly what I became a fan of

Except in the comic, the circumstances were different. Broken Tusk was returning the favour because Machiko saved his life. Lex, on the other hand, cried and Scar decided "Ok, so she killed an Alien, I can use her".

Thats true, but I thought you didnt like the idea of a teamup overall

AVP turned out better than I thought. I wasn't expecting much out of a crossover by the same guy that made Mortal Kombat.

My only problem with the film was...
#1 the predators (more so the way the screen shook when they ran and not the designs)
#2 Lex catching Weyland with an ice pick as he slid down the shaft WTF?

You saw Lex catching Weyland with an icepick as a problem, but nothing much else?

QuoteThats true, but I thought you didnt like the idea of a teamup overall

Why would a fit healthy Predator need to team up with something it would ordinarily hunt?  It's not like he needed her.  All she did was get lucky that an Alien walked onto the spear she holding and suddenly forgot it had arms.

I think he admired her. Sure she was lucky, but one way or another she did manage to think fast and pick up the spear instead of just screaming and giving up. He didnt need her obviously, and didnt hunt her, but didnt mind her joining him on the way to the surface. She certainly did prove to be a worthy and fast thinking partner by the end, just like Machiko. Even more so I would say. In Stardely's original comic book, Broken Tusk simply developed a sympathy for Machiko without her having to prove anything on the field, and was gracious for keeping him alive
