I very much agree. It felt like a kids movie beside the others.

i agree - but if they do make a 2nd they should have more predators and more aliens, instead of just 6-8 beast aliens and the chained up queen alien and the "protectors" for the predators, it should be the movie where 2 alien races are fighting for species survival not just killing for sport. Preadators should get a sense of threat or urgency to exterminate the aliens

yeah that would be cool and maybe see in the beginning of the 2nd how the aliens and predators get entwined with the other race. like an alien scout invasion just to find out what the planet contained but the predators quickly wiped them out lol

As has been stated, you resist rooting for stupid people.

The humans were ineffective and I didn't feel a bond with them. I can't remember, did any human kill an Alien? I mean beside the girl.

They brought back one human and didn't do much with him. He could have been a more useful character. It seemed he was 90 percent useless.

They might have done better to keep humans out of the mix. That would have been cutting edge, and interesting.

Oh, I read the books, and for those of you that don't, one girl goes on to "become" a predator. She travels with the pack and hunts.

The novels are a couple of years older than the comics. Checked it on Amazon.

The novels were also just called "Aliens vs. Predator". Basic idea taken from the novels:

The chick is the only human to survive, only one predator, and at the end, that predator marks the girl with his mark (wouldn't that be a sign of dominance, like marking property, in some cultures?).

Time period, and ethnicity of the heroine are different.

Good movie, but my mom could stand to watch it, so it could have been better.

That would be a good way to go with the plot for sure. I haven't read the books/comics. Maybe they talk about this? Yes, I'm asking for spoilers!

Well, one of the best stories has the pack going into the hive and extracting the mother. There are quite a few predators, but that was a good one.
The female (human) predator was having trouble with one of the young predators. He was a jerk. Yes, there are jerks in space. It seems that the federation doesn't let them go beyond Earth's atmosphere.

Oh, for those hard core fans, get the original predator 1 and 2. They show you the psychology of the predators. The following books were written by people who did no research into their subject. It's a shame. To see predators, breaking the rules of their own society, is lame.
