Most here probably either didn't see, didn't like, or at the very least thought the first Aliens versus Predator was just ok at best. It seemed to have made enough money in the theaters and on dvd to get a sequel greenlighted. Here's the very first trailer --- a red band trailer at that --- of the sequel. It looks like it's a guilty pleasure from the look of it.

Meh. All I really want to see is a large scale battle between the Aliens and the Predators with the marines thrown in trying to survive. Kinda like the 3 second clip which was the really decent part of the movie where the aliens stormed the pyramid of the predators. That was grand and would've made a great movie, but instead we got Paul W.S. Anderson.
Though, and I'll be stupdily honest here, that trailer looks alright. _________________

Well, when trying to best such classics like Alien, Aliens, and Predator-- there's going to be a lot of pressure to get things right, and in my opinion, AvP just did not get things right. As a big Predator and Alien fan, I'm going to be hoping that things go better this time around. Really hoping. _________________

The only other thing I found decent about the first film was the handful of decent actors in it including the dude who played Bishop (his name escapes me). I also liked the whole honour story with the predator where the woman is accepted and sort of befriends a predator (its more gaining respect). Probably because I was not expecting it and the fact it was quite believable, since the Predator saw that the woman was not just "prey" and killed something. The first film was okay, it was watchable, I don't mind the work of W.S Anderson, I did not mind the Resi Evil films either. _________________ "In the rain, I'm calling you dear, find my way, can't you see me standing right here" ~ I.V - X Japan

that's true. but at least freddy vs. jason did a good job. just surprised there hasn't been news for quite some time on the sequel. _________________

This being Halloween it looks like 20th Century Fox decided to release a teaser clip of a scene in the movie.

The thing that I didn't care for about the first AvP movie was the human who survived. She was not Sigourney Weaver, and she was not Arnold Schwarzenegger. Even those two had a tough time against one or the other, and this woman was not even a fraction as badass as them, so she shouldn't have even survived the initial hatching. No, that movie failed because humans survived. In a clash between two great icons like Aliens and Predators, humans have no business being around. Kill all humans, and we have us a winner of a movie, especially if the Predators emerge victorious, since they are the epitome of cool. _________________

Aliens vs Predator should have been more like Aliens, in the action and the desperate huddled few trying to survive. Unfortunately they went the route of Alien 4, in trying to be an suspensful-action movie. Didn't work.
The second outing looks like it's going to be more "guns blazing". I worry though that the action in the trailer is all we'll see and the rest will be pulp. _________________

Ok, well I saw a trailer for this when I went to see Saw IV and it really has me anticipating it, just off one trailer. Now, it's not all good, because again we see some dumb broad who's just thrown in there for eye candy trying to come across as a badass, but I guess I'll never get an AvP where the humans are all slaughtered like the weak lambs that they are. Honestly, the only use humans have in the movies is as incubation chambers for the Aliens, and frag bait for the Predators. Call me biased, but I don't believe for one second that humans could take out a group of Predator hunter/warriors. If Arnold can barely kill one, there's no way humans could take out 5 or 6. _________________
